Having weak headliners has its positives. skipped kanye and coldplay to see George Clintons P.Funk and Earth Wind and Fire.  In fact I can't imagine actually choosing to see coldplay in any situation

Good thing all the other stages are being headlined by indie folk bands curated by Mumford and Sons as part of their Gentlemen of the Road takeover, then.

I've been in hibernation on here since last year. Couldn't face thinking about it with this year being a fallow year. Managed to secure tickets this morning (for some of us at least...) so what's the general consensus on headliners for 2019? Heard the Macca?The Cure rumours, and I'm assuming Arctic Monkey's are in the mix?

People heckling for This Is America for 90 minutes? Sounds great!

Aside from This Is America, Gambino is nowhere near Kendrick.

I like both but I saw Kendrick and Leeds this year and he was insane, plus Kendrick can headlined a lot of major festivals over the summer and I can only think of Gambino doing Lovebox which is primarily a hip hop/rap festival. I think it's far more likely going to be Kendrick or Eminem as the non-guitar headliner

Aye I thought similar, I'm not sure where he stands with the success of TIA. He tours a lot less than Kendrick as he does all the other stuff, but the O2 sold out in a silly amount of time and I heard he was great at Lovebox. 

It'd just be nice to see a new headliner on a selfish level. I don't even go to many festivals anymore and I feel like I've seen Kendrick half a dozen times.

My facetious comment aside, I think CG is more of a subheadliner at this point.  If he headlined, he'd get the Gorillaz treatment. People think they want to see him, then realise most his material isn't anything like that one song they know. The crowd is a lot more forgiving for the subheadliners.

 

If Farrell subheadlined, I don't see why Gambino couldn't. 

 

I'd be very surprised if Kendrick isn't a headliner. He seemed like an obvious choice in 2017, and is only more so now. Just edgy enough to show Glasto is progressing, but a safe enough bet to be respectable to the stalwarts (especially now he has a Pulitzer).

It’s highly unlikely Kendrick will be active next summer from the looks of things.

That's pretty much it at the minute. Macca and Sad & The Lads seem pretty solid, but it's less certain whether Mrs Turner will have to confiscate young Alex's N64 controllers after parents' evening with the Glastonbury audience again. I'd quite like Gaga for that slot, there's nothing tying her to it, but she's active and about so there's speculative talk of her on here.

I'd be quite happy with Bumfords/The Cure/Macca

 

Just for the aforementioned reason of having an excuse not to spend every night at the Pyramid. Wouldn't miss The Cure or Macca for the world but would bin off the tweedy banjo bandits any day of the week

Not sure where he will slot in but I'd bet good money on George Ezra getting a slot, possibly subbing the Pyramid

Think a lot of people have him down for a third down the Pyramid slot, possibly after the Sunday legend, based on nothing other than him seeming like a boring safe choice to appeal the post-legend masses.

When do we expect the first announcements? 

We got Radiohead on 20th October last year/2016 but there isn't really much of a pattern - it's been at the end of the year sometimes but equally not until the start/first third of the next year other times.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
