2019 Headliners

[The Nal]

Played Oldchella too but that and Japan are exceptions. 80,000 people at Isle of Wight expecting him to come on and nail Its Alright Ma acoustic but instead getting the Malibu Mafia playing Scarlet Town and Early Roman Kings isn't going to end well.

Well both him and Emily hinted at it on live radio and I imagine that has been covered on music sites/magazines like the NME.

eFests is the centre of the Glasto rumour mill anyway.

Wow, with a straight face as well? What am i missing, i thought he was a rubbish run of the mill r'n'b star.

Would prefer the original lemar tbh

 

If there was any justice in the world he'd be headlining.

Can we choose to give this no credence as well 

I’m ready for an evening with Margot Robbie.

Any time now...

[kevbizarre]

U2 news piece on BBC news right now about the giant screens they use during shows....

Any chance they could return as headliners? Hadn’t really thought of them as not really a fan...

Word is they're only allowed back if they open the Other Stage and play Joshua Tree in full.

Minus that bit at the end of One Tree Hill.

Anyone who thinks Damn is better than TPAB is honestly a psychopath.

Every artist thinks their latest album is their best tho. He'll come around in time. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

All the gammons prefer Hamn.

[Divein]

That guy is from Scruff of the Neck, no offence but they arnt big at all. 

I know bigger promoters than him and they have no idea who’s playing. 

[angelin]

Billy Joel?

Funnily enough I dunno if I'd discount it.

It’s a bold choice for rumours, but my issue is where each act would be placed.

Macca: could technically play any night, but has a gig in the States on Wednesday. Hard to imagine him doing anything but closing the festival. 

The Cure: Have a gig at RW on Friday so potentially a Sunday act but if Macca is headlining, far more likely on the Saturday. 

Taylor Swift: Another act you’d typically want to place on the Sunday and certainly not a Friday headliner, traditionally. 

I’ve been shouted down for daring to suggest such a thing before, but is it conceivable that The Cure might headline Other if Swifty gets the Pyramid on Saturday night?

I know theres some info otherwise.. but I tend to agree. The Cure just doesnt seem like a Pyramid headliner to me... headlining the Other would make more sense in my mind, but apparently if theyre there theyre headlining the Pyramid.

Tweet from a promoter and manager. Probably just an educated guess, but maybe he knows...?

I was working at the enemy ?the week the poster missing Metallica was dropped in 2014. The higher staff were told to expect an announcement (via phone call from Emily) the day before, but that’s it... as you would think - cards are kept very close to their chest.

we also got the first advance on 48:13 blasting over the floor that week...once... and then never to be mentioned again.

There's more chance of Taylor Swift playing a non-headline slot than The Cure.

Yeah she certainly doesn't seem bothered about headlining, she only did a 30 minute before Florence's hour set in Swansea in the summer. Lazy fucker

[RarerThanDandyB]

Kendrick or Swift at this point. 

Does anyone believe that guy?

He'd smash the fuck out of it, Dance (With U) would slay the Pyramid field.

Even if it was just once, I'd take an employer to a tribunal for pulling that sort of shit on me

Cure are massive. Believe me that they would put on the best show.

As it stands at the minute there's no evidence at all that either of them is touring next year.

It's certainly hard to argue with Blossoms playing the home of Stockport County F.C. being the most important gig of the new post-Brexit Britain.
