2019 Headliners

Would they? Would Coldplay up against an Other sub like Stormzy last year be any more crowded than Dolly Patton up again some random mid-card Other Stage act that no one cares about?

///

They always load the other stages with stronger stuff though. Like Liam G and Avalanches were on when Katie Perry was on last time.

Did you not go see The Horrors?

 

I agree though. 8pm isn't gonna be time where people think "nothing else is good on, might as well go see Coldplay this time".

I saw the rest of The Horrors after she finished. I was thinking she must have clashed more with the act before them, which having looked now was Sam Smith.

You're genuinely wrong, the Eavis would want them to headline and make a big deal out of it.

Man it's the 50th anniversary of their festival. Why would they want the headliners to look worse than any other year by having someone who headlined four years prior and has no new material, just so they can say their mates headlined the 50th anniversary?

And how on Earth are they supposed to make a big deal out of it?

"Here's our first headline for the 50th anniversary - Coldplay!"

"But they just headlined and have no new music wtf?"

"But it's COLDPLAY! At GLASTONBURY!"

"But we could have seen them there 4 years ago doing the same set wtf are you talking about Michael"

"COLDPLAY!!!! GLASTONBURY!!!!"

Cpuld easily see both Coldplay and Muse doing a "not-so-secret-set" like Killers in 2017 if they really wanna play, see no point in them booking them as headliners so quickly, and I also don't see them booking larger subs/other headliners just for the sake of having them play.

Plus Muse on JP would be pretty great make it happen.

Would probably be the best way to go. As has been said, booking the likes of Coldplay, Muse etc in announced sub slots would only mean they couldn't then go on to headline in the next couple of years which, as nice as it sounds for all of us, probably isn't in the bands best interests, especially bands like Coldplay who like to make a big hooplah with their headline performances lighting up the Pyramid/handing out wristbands etc. 

Although that said, although I see the reasoning behind thinking those bands close to Glastonbury would like to be part of the 50th anniversary in some way, I refuse to get sucked in to the 'headliner sized band playing a smaller slot' nonsense that comes about every single year and never happens (The Killers don't count because in my opinion they'd never be booked to headline these days). The idea of Coldplay rocking up and doing anything other than headline the Pyramid just seems like an obvious no-go to me.

Coldplay haven't been to trnsmt before so they could that instead of Glastonbury

Yeah I don't think The Killers will be offered headline now.

I won't get into a big debate about it again, but it does baffle me how sometimes the same people who think the likes of Florence and the Machine could headline again rule out The Killers. 

It'll be a long term bet so you've gotta commit to yr efests future, but if anyone wants a tenner to charity that The Killers won't headline on their next album cycle (if there is one, void if they split up lol) then gimme a shout. ?

    • Chaka can, or Chaka can't?  
    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping?    Just had another thought - Or even rent the land to the festival for CV pitches.......
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
