Stuck a tenner on Gaga at 7/1

Fuck it, me too. I'm down to Arctic Monkeys vs her for the final headliner right now so 7/1 is decent odds. Be interesting to see how soon they shorten the odds on her, too.

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?

Thought you may have been having a shouty moment there.

ooo Mumford & Sons only 8/1.

[Keithy]

Just noticed too that her Vegas residency stops June 14th for a 4 month break over the European festival season. Can’t see her doing loads but stopping 2 weeks from Glastonbury....

[Xeph1995]

Id even take Muse again over the cure haha even after their newest materiel. Cant think of anyone more dreary.

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. 

[kalifire]

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.

Different news cycle in 'straya?

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

? IIIIIIMMMM OFF THE DEEEEP EEEEEEND

WATCH AS I DIIIIIIIVE IIIIIIN

I'll NEVER MEEEEEEEEEET THE GROUUUUUUUUND ?

[MetaKate]

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.

How many headliner worthy acts are out there right now who are at their creative and commercial peak?

If Shallow goes on to be this year's Let It Go she could wind up bigger than she was.

Two, max. Maybe not even not that many given The 1975’s new stuff seems to be a bit hit and miss.

Exactly, seems a bit pointless banging on potential headliners not being quite as big as they were.

In regards to what? Popularity, album sales, profile, perceived ‘peak’ of career, relevance?
