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.

Get it right. All the other stages close down so that everyone can watch the headliner together.

Ooh, lovely. A nice early night then

I’m clearly one of the few who think Mumfords & Coldplay are absolutely cracking live. That being said I’d much rather something different. Kendrick, Elton & Macca would be lovely.

Settle down you twat, we'll get you sorted in April.

Hearing a lot of Kendrick talk, could Childish Gambino be talked about on the same level? I'd love that and think he'd nail it.

Fully on board the Mumford's train myself, unless I can secure a ticket come April.

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

@CaledonianGonzo and @dentalplan how did you cats get on this morning?

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?

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

Ill tidings, my brother. Resales though, we'll get you in.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Rubbish headliners so TDay is easier next year, please and thank you ?

[LosingMyEdge]

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

[Xeph1995]

When do we expect the first announcements?

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.

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.
