i'm pretty sure they'd definitely be headlining

like Neil said, it'd be absolutely massive. no appeal or recognition for under 30's!? seriously!? i think you'd be hard pressed to find people of all ages who don't know Club Tropicana, Careless Whisper, Last Christmas, Freedom and Wake Me Up (even if they're not entirely sure that they're Wham! songs, which they would soon find out if they were announced as headliners)

The standard faces have taken issue with Wham. Nothing surprising there at all.

The more broad minded can see the fun through the rockist fog.

As CalleyGonzo has said theres a dozen songs in George's repetoire that will bring the house down. And the comparison with having them over Florence is valid and welcome!

Surprised at you Tony with the "dick in the mouth" line too. Tut tut 'squire. Tut tut.

Neil, just picking up on 1 of your comments earlier, you said IF the Stones headline there will be a completly different type of act subbing seperate the crowd, isn't the opinion that its Mumfords subbing? Surely the majority who will watch them will stay for The Stones??

Is this a George Michael gig then with the odd Wham tune? I like the odd George Michael tune. Great singer in fairness.

But theres no "fun" about Wham. Its tacky shit. Mindless tacky shit. Time is supposed to whittle away the shit. Not turn what is clearly shit into some sort of ironic nostalgia.

Wham in the Glastonbury headliners thread. And the Cliff Richard thread was deleted.

For fucks sake.

Precisely. Not quite sure why Wooderson is getting so defensive about it. I have never even considered buying a Wham album, or hoped they would reform. I highly doubt anyone else on this thread has either.

So I don't get why anybody would want to stand amongst 80,000 people listening to 90 minutes of it.

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
