2019 Headliners

Having just watched ASIB, I’m all in for Gaga to headline. Some cracking songs in there. Beginning to think her 2016 NME interview “Glastonbury....I can’t talk about it” which we all thought might be a 2017 appearance was infact 2019 to tie in with the film.

Didn’t the Eavii say in 2017 that they already had one 2019 headliner already booked?

Fri : Gaga

Sat: Cure

Sun: Macca

Brad Cooper to get a slot on Park at some point.

I can’t believe the Eavii won’t have a female headliner this year and as Madonna is priced out, I’m on for Gaga. She’d smash it and be a belting fri headliner to get the festival really kickstarted.

 

If she gets a headline slot and I'd rather it over AM, I'd be pretty sure they didn't book her in 2016 to headline 2019.

Personally I've picked her to sub as I think AM will headline. I also don't think she would headline on Friday night, if they have Gaga headline I think they would make a bigger point about it.

She may well have been referring to the filming of the movie at Glastonbury rather than a personal appearance.

This was definitely gonna have been the case, we just didn’t know about her being there until the movie came out because she didn’t appear on the Pyramid with B-Coops.

True, as she was attached to the film in Aug 16 and the NME interview was Oct 16. Though she could have just said no to the Glasto rumour given she’s not in the Glasto filming. It’s clear now 2017 was never on the cards as they were filming for ASIB at that time. Had there been a 2018 festival, her Vegas residency would have stopped it happening.

Emily did give an interview after the 2017 festival to say 2019 booking was already underway.

Not beyond the realms of possibility she was approached in 2016 for 2017, said no due to filming and pencilled in for the next festival?

Theres no way Gaga would be a sub. Would she do it? Yes... but it just wouldn't make any sense imo. Why throw away a female headliner. Honestly I think it would look bad on the festival to skip over one of the few headline worthy females and give her a sub spot. Especially when EE has said she wants to make things more diverse. Macca, the Cure, with AM is far from diverse lineup.

Fair enough, but Gaga would just scream "we couldn't afford Madonna" and frankly feels a bit charitable.

I'm surprised a few people here consider her to be 'up there'. She's fallen way back from her prime.

That’s doing Gaga a big disservice - she’d be quite a coup the way things are going with ASIB

Right... Not taking away from Madonna, she is a pop legend, but I would put her relevance (I'm not sure this is the right word) lower than Gaga's at this point. I work with a 22y/o, "like a prayer" came on in the office and he had no idea who sang it and I was shocked.

Also probably true of Madonna, Arctics, the Cure and Macca though TBF

She isn't at the same level as she was.

    • 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.
