2019 Headliners

[Hugh Jass]

I suspect the Foals ship has sailed now.

Their sub slot a couple of years back didn't exactly scream "headliner material".

it's hit or miss, i think they defo could.  A lot may depend on who is around that year to headline. i thought the sub slot was good was gutted for them when the sound cut out tho

Remember speaking to a work colleague after one festival years ago and he tells this story of how he was standing next to a guy with an army bag (or cap, can't remember) on and he got talking to him. He asks where he got the bag from and this guy says from a film he's been working on. 

Turned out to be from American Sniper. By all accounts he's there as a punter and my colleague said he was lovely.

Would love to see Gaga playing with a performance of Shallows, reckon it'd be a huge moment.

Just found out that Jason Isbell has turned in one of the soundtrack songs - will check it out.

foals co headlined reading 2 years ago and it was busier than when biffy headlined the same year. i love both bands, if their next album is good foals could headline glasto on their nxt tour i think

You know that was the 2nd time Biffy had done it?, they already sold it out 3 years before that.

Regardless of the fact I dislike them....they will not get a Glastonbury headline slot....there are others streets ahead in line.

He definitely has a document of quotes to paste from every time they’re brought up.

"What Went Down? Foals album in the charts"

"Foals only have two good songs. My Number and Mountain at My Gates. That's all!"

[CaledonianGonzo]

"Many people are saying that Foals are the Antidotes to an enjoyable headline performance at Glastonbury.  It's true. So true."

[Matt1994]

Out of curiosity when do we normally get the first announcement?

Next year

[nysmaw]

Just in: The Cure will headline Rock Werchter on Friday 28th.

Well well well, doesn't this just throw a spanner into the works

[John the Moth]

Fri AM/1975

Sat Macca

Sun Cure ??

just doesn’t sit right, Cure on Friday seemed obviously the right fixture.

And of course it was for Werchter!

Yeah, much as I like the cure I wouldn't have them down to close the festival. Saturday not out the question I suppose, it's only Belgium. Easy enough to get back here.

[Hugh Jass]

Thought the Cure were nailed on for Friday. Don’t think they fit any other night.

[Dronx]

Ooooooh, Do they play many back to back gigs?

In the same country yes, 3 nights on their 2016 tour, different countries though I can only see Belgium then Holland on consecutive nights, but obviously they're closer together than Belgium-uk.

Always weird when people harp on about whether a band "feel right" for a certain day, as if people aren't booked on the basis of when they're free.

Nothing says Sunday evening like Kasabian.

Prince never played because he had too much of a Tuesday vibe about him.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sunday was Prince's funday

So what you're saying is, we need to use a magnet to find out what day Bob and the lads are actually playing?

Agreed. Bollocks to that - U2 were booked to play Friday.

Yeah. Not exactly rocket science.
