2019 Headliners

[The Red Telephone]

I think we’re all forgetting someone obvious for one of the headliner slots.

Friend of the festival, has played a few times before, younger than Paul McCartney, edgy enough for the Friday night headliner and probably just about to ready to make the step up to the Pyramid.

Is that Mumford and sons?

Benson and bros

Although no Benson anymore so just 'and bros' which doesn't work so well.

I thought one of Bros was bald.

The other problem The Strokes have these days is that nobody cares about anything they've done since Room On Fire, think their sets these days are just everything off Is This It then a couple of singles from the other albums.

EDIT: Except for Juicebox of course, which is a stone cold banger.

Machu Picchu is also a stone cold banger which people should definitely care about.

Yeah I agree. This is the first I've heard about Mexican Ben having gone, you have to explain, I'm having a conniption over here.

I think you have to ask yourself if the Cure are headlining Wercheter (a festival as old and almost as big as Glastonbury), why would they then accept a sub at Glastonbury. It would make no sense.

Exactly, but I can't see Cure doing 2 nights in a row hence why I was asking if there was any precedence lol

Why not? No doubt in my mind if they do play they will headline.

The Cure headlined Reading and Leeds festivals one day after another in 2012 so I can't see Belgium-Somerset being a problem. 

Also The Cure said they are headlining around 20 festivals in 2019, with that amount there are likely to be a couple of consecutive days.

Assumed that the wouldnt wanna finish in the morning in belguim, then fly to the UK with all their gear in time to play the next evening.

Just checked their last tour dates and they always left 2 days gap, but admittedly they will have less stuff than their own tour so maybe its possible? Still seems unlikely to me

Bob Smith and the gang might be getting on now but they're still absolute beasts on the circuit ?

NO! I can't believe it, I'm distraught. Do we know why he left? Has he been replaced? I feel sick.

Shallows just debuted at 13 on the charts, Gaga coming for that headline slot....

That song starts perfect for a Pyramid sub slot. If this is a sign of her new stuff I can see a rise again...there is some Adele-esque tune in there.

I think she's going to be a wildcard there how no one saw Katy Perry coming. Defo on Stormzy, Gaga and Liam as subs...with those headliners it's a huge top line.

That’s a bargain bucket of subs on the pyramid

With any luck Gaga's solo version of 'I'll Never Love Again' will become this decade's 'I Will Always Love You', and then provide the Glastonbury moment to end all moments.

Have  Metallica been discussed?

Big gap in their UK Euro tour at the end of June.

Lars is a massive Glasto convert.

Very much doubt it, just because the last time is so fresh in the mind y’know?

On another note...

Surely they must have at least one female headliner? Or at least a band that’s not all men?

The unmistakable sound of a Pyramid sub slot.
