Billy Joel?

That would be very welcome - but isn't he more likely to turn up in the legends' slot in a year or two?

(Prob Elton next year by all accounts, so maybe 2021 if he's still performing, and he may well be)

Yup

I didn't realise Gaga was involved in music for the film. Ok, that maybe makes her relevant again then. Do we have reason to rumour her though?

Are they? They have hardly shifted any tour tickets.

Apologies I was told by my flatmate who was trying to get Cardiff tickets, might have been exaggerated

How long til Mumford’s are odds-on based on our in-the-know Banjo salesman?

I think I’ve overestimated people.

Look mate, I've told you she's headlining

Why so sure? Do you know her banjo salesman?

[dentalplan]

She bought 6oz. of banjo off my cousin.

I don't get the Mumford hate on this forum personally. Really good live and a feel good band.. 3 solid albums.. most recent being a departure from the first two. Can someone explain it for me?

They were absolutely cracking when they last headlined. Really tight live band. Arctic Monkeys are dire as fuck live and people don’t complain about them.

Nothing specific I don’t think, but she does have a break from her Vegas residency then, and the movie, and specifically Bradley Cooper, obviously have links with Glastonbury. Could happen...

People have been roasting them senseless for the past 5 years.

I don't need to know any salespeople, this is just a fact I know about. It's a truth which is self evident, if any reasonable person takes the time to think on the matter then they can reach only this conclusion.

When do folks think we’ll get first announcement? Radiohead were announced October 2016, maybe something soonish?

There’s a band with a new album, a relationship with the festival, have played most other festivals since their last headline slot and are headlining European festivals at the time but sure... it’s someone other than Mumford and the Sons.

Only non-ticketholders see the truth.

Your right, I can’t see it. Break the ice. Tell us!!!

LOL. I got caught up in it for a moment, but ye I think so! 

My revised and final list :

1. 1975
2. Everyone else who has pre-ordered a banjo for the summer.

[Phoenix Girl]

Andy, I was enjoying the lists to be fair

The info thing was a piss take that I went along with, which was intentionally made too ridiculous to believe.

The imminent threat of Mumford headlining based on what we already know to be true is no piss take.

I can imagine the conversation in 1969

Festival Asst: why are we calling it Glastonbury, it’s not even in Glastonbury.

Michael: I have seen the future, and in the future there will an artist called Lady GaGa, by calling it Glastonbury we will be able to announce her headlining the festival by a tortuous code involving using the festival name three times.

Lol, cheers. But all it proved was I was gullible enough to think Marcus Mumford would order Glastonbury 2019 elbow patches! 

[yosoyyoberdi]

I know it may not be relevant to most of you as this is just one point of view.

I wasn't born or raised in the UK but I have still known every single Glasto headliner for the past 25 years. They have always been huge acts well known around the globe.

You are talking about Stormzy or The 1975 headlining, both of them I've literally never heard before in my life. It would be such a disappointment to have any of those two headlining this year. Even Mumford, band which I personally dislike, would be a better choice than a ramdon guy with one album. It may be the case that I end up loving both but I still think they are way below Glastonbury standards.

My cousin's wife makes dresses out of meat and has had a high priority order placed by a confidential client for delivery in late June of next year.

Such a laughing stock as Mumford and Sons will never be allowed back, Emily actually denies they ever headlined at all if asked. They're the Star Wars: A Holiday Special of Glastonbury headliners.
