The 1975 are bigger than FATM was in 2015 and definitely bigger than her currently. They’ve stormed the world and are far and away the UK’s current big thing in music. This is the Mumfords argument of 2013 all over again.

Are they really at the level of Mumfords in 2013? Bloody hell, this one has passed me by.

They’ve gotten there more gradually rather than Mumfords who blew up suddenly, but yeah I’d say they’re on a similar level now, or at least will be with the release of the new album.

see i'm quite disappointed with the 3, then i remember muse adele codplay. Now i feel better

But then again if it was:

The Cure (Pyramid)

Tame Impala (Other)

Somebody on the other stage one of the days headlining.

That seems amazing for me. Love Cure and Tame Impala and somebody else I would see, then for the rest, explore it all. Like as said before its Glastonbury not only the music.

I get the impression a large part of The 1975’s fan base is probably 16 and under. Not sure how many of these would be at Glastonbury. 

They’re big enough to headline but I don’t think they’d look out of place subbing and I’m not sure they’ll have the field packed to the rafters

Would say most of their fan base is 16-19, rather than 16 and under.

If "how many of these would be at Glastonbury" was ever a consideration, Metallica would never have headlined, nor Kanye, Beyonce or Jay-Z.

my current best idea:

The 1975
The Cure
Macca

How recent is that The 1975 info you've received? I can't see it happening with what's been posted in the R&L section but if they were still giving offers out fairly recently it'd maybe make Gaga more likely? She certainly seems a better bet now than she did a year ago.

word I've heard is that they have an offer. Can't really see it being for less than headline.

I don't see why not tbh. If they're giving sub offers to Biffy Clyro and third down offers to Katy Perry I don't see why they can't offer The 1975 a sub slot. Especially if they're already booked to headline R&L so Glasto know they can't have them as headliners. Something along the lines of "We know you're already headlining R&L next year and we're booked up for 2020. How about subbing the Pyramid for massive exposure next year and coming back to headline it on your next tour?" If The 1975 know they have no chance of headlining the next two years they don't really have anything to lose unless R&L don't allow them to do it (the R&L headliners who've been booked for Glasto recently have been co-headliners rather than outright headliners).

I'm not sticking them in my prediction as a sub or owt, but I don't see Glasto offering them a sub slot as being impossible.

The 1975 fan base is young but not that young to be the kind of people not going to G. We aren't talking about Dua Lipa here.

I like Dua Lipa

Huh? Kanye and Beyoncé are two of the biggest mainstream megastars in the world. If their crowd aren't at Glastonbury then who the fuck is going to Glastonbury?

i still cannot see monkeys not playing, honestly. It almost feels as if they delayed this record just for this festival.

Tbh there were lots of reasons why it didn't make too much sense anyway. Only reason I had em down to headline for so long was that it seemed an easy, crowd-pleasing booking to make. But I could easily see one of the band or the festival thinking it's too soon (in terms of new material) since 2013 and waiting until their next tour. With Blake from ArcticMonkeysUS being told they're not playing I'm very confident now that they won't be there.

so the iconic june festival he was referring to is a finsbury-like gig?

    • exactly. give them mordor slot when I have other alternatives, not Wednesday
    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots!
