Doubt it’s gonna be Macca. We are led to believe that two of 2020’s headliners were pencilled in way back, and it looks like Macca was in the frame for this year but pulled out of negotiations

Next to the duck pond

Fucking he’ll, we’ve entered the ‘actually, even Kasabian would have been better than what we’ve got’ phase now. Kings of Leon reappraisal next.

I was at one of U2’s Wembley gigs in ‘87 and when the band came on there was a huge surge in the crowd. I remember thinking if anyone went down they’d be completely fucked, quite scary. My feet were off the ground and when I managed to get them back down I was nowhere near where I’d be standing before. Took me ages to find my gf, who I’d be standing next to. Won’t be like that for George Ezra.

We didn’t need wellies in ‘99

Could have been awkward if Elton was playing this year. From a 2016 Rolling Stone interview: ”For someone whose singles aren’t on the charts anymore, Elton still attracts the attention of a pop star in his prime. There have been scraps aplenty, beginning a decade ago by ripping on Madonna for lip-syncing in concert. “I say what I feel,” says Elton. “I probably went too far with Madonna, and I got very personal and I wrote her – she was very gracious.” Still, it’s an issue for a singer whose tenor has become growly but relies on no artificial enhancement. “You know, fucking music magazines writing a review of Janet Jackson saying, ‘This is the greatest show – four and a half stars.’ It’s fucking lip-synced! Hello! That’s not a show! I’d rather go and see a drag queen. Fuck off.”

I prefer her older stuff

No, only Pyramid headliners: The Cure 22 The Killers 10 Stormzy 6

Interesting that of the 43 lists so far in this thread, only 6 are mentioning Stormzy.

I’d have thought that, from the festival’s point of view, the vast majority of acts on the main stages will have been booked by now. That’s not to say there’s no slots left necessarily. And obviously not all names of the acts on those stages have been released yet. With regards the band, yes they’ll have their tour schedule for the summer arranged by now, but again, there’s no reason why other dates couldn’t be added, if possible. TTS are at Werchter on the 28th but seem free the rest of the weekend so could well be in the frame.

MDA eh?

The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more hate

What makes you think they haven’t?

How do you explain the crappy male artists that have been booked?
