2019 Headliners

[priest17]

It's in literally no ones interest for Coldplay to sub. If they sub they can't headline for another 4 years or so would Coldplay or the Eavii want that?

[Homer]

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.

I genuinely think Coldplay would take a sub slot just to play, especially if they were playing below someone huge, like Macca for instance.

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

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.

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!!!!"

2020 will be the year of the fabled Chris Martin Supergroup but it'll just be a supergroup made of all the members of Coldplay.

Coldplay ft. Matt Bellamy and Eavis would make a big deal out of it.

The Eavii seem to love Coldplay that much I doubt they're even arsed if they have a new album out.

Weirdly I just stumbled upon someone I used to work with's Instagram and there was a picture of them dressed as a mime at work ffs.

So are Fleetwood Mac really still a possibility now they sacked Lynsey? No more u2 or pearl jam rumours? We really are running out of big name headliners now aren't we!

Did they respect mime culture? We're not all tiny invisible boxes yknow.

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.

[Odessa]

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. ?
