2019 Headliners

Had a couple of quid on her, nothing to lose at 12/1

I know that lad from my time at uni in Southampton and putting on gigs with my mate and I think I can safely say he knows nothing so I wouldn’t put any faith in it

looks like something you'd tweet after reading these forums for half an hour

Given the 'iconic' festival comment about AM and the fact they've never done it and the Dylan 50 years thing, it's not out of the realms of possibility. Swift is still playing stadiums as of the summer just gone isn't she?

that's my general view after having had a google on him ... and yet he's from the iow, and giddings is known to talk about things, so i don't think its impossible he got something thru the grapevine.

I was discussing this with my friend who also knows him and agreed he could potentially know something about IOW but I’d take it with a pinch of salt because as you’ve probably seen he’s hardly pulling in big names as a promoter and I’d say it’s more of a guessing game than an ITK

@Brave Sir Robin has heard Dylan’s Hyde Park bound also.

edit: or that he’s ‘in the frame’. Didn’t mean to misquote.

What are the chances of Dylan deciding to do a couple of big shows where he decides to play the hits in a way that people actually want to hear? Only way I can see IOW and Hyde Park happening, really.

He could do his normal show at Hyde Park. It’s just a gig innit. IOW would probably be a poor fit, yeah.

Forgot that those two have shared in the past, as I only mentioned that as it contradicts this IOW fella’s info. Still don’t think he’s on the money like.

[mufcok]

With AM, whether that 'iconic festival' comment was about a festival in this country or overseas.. surely they have to headline at least one UK festival in the summer? I'd be shocked if not, R+L or IOW

seems pretty unlikely he'd be doing both Hyde park and ioW to me. Rival promoters for a start.

before ioW was owned by Live Nation.

If it's non UK i'm still thinking Gaga rather than Swifty

Of course. Forgot about that.

Yes I have, for BST. Nothing definite though.

Slim, he’s fairly set in his ways. But heck, he’s Bob Dylan, he’s earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants! In fairness to him he always plays at least half a dozen biggies, in a nice if somewhat smooth manner.

Not necessarily, they might rather just play their own gigs. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't bother playing anywhere in Europe next summer. I certainly don't see them at IOW, they've never bothered headlining there before, I'm not sure why they would start now when they can pretty much choose to play wherever they want.

There is no evidence to suggest it thus meaning there's as much chance as Kendrick in reality.

Elton's in Switzerland over Glastonbury weekend so won't happen.

Gaga's scheduled to play live next summer and was rumoured to show up a couple of years back.  On top of that she's starring in a movie filmed at the festival with Bradley Cooper, who's there every year and has also talked about playing next year.

Kendrick has just finished up all of his current touring plans.

Looking at the dates of his tour, he's not playing 2 different venues on 2 consecutive nights at any point (as far as I can see).  Add to that his latter day issues with his voice and I would put him in the 'extremely unlikely' category for this year.  I'd be willing to place huge money on him headlining next year though.  His farewell tour runs through until at least October 2020

Exactly what I was just about to say. Gaga also has a gap at the end of June from her Vegas residency. 

[Keithy]

The lack of rumours around the 3rd headliner, points to non-UK act* and almost certainly an act from the USA, which narrows the list considerably so I'm still sticking with Gaga. Won't hear anything for a while as the Vegas residency doesn't start until Dec but if I was a betting man, I'd timeline it all as such:

Late Dec : New album announced to coincide with start of Vegas residency. I'd hedge a bet it's called Enigma

Dec 28th. First date of Enigma residency in Vegas. 

Feb : Rescheduled European dates from 2018 announced for late June & July (with obvious Glastonbury gap) to coincide with the planned break of the Vegas residency

Apr : Announced as headliner, either before or after resale date.

Out of all the options, she still fits best for the Occam's razor principle. Active next year,  gap in her summer schedule that starts 2 weeks before Glastonbury, rescheduled tour dates outstanding, high profile due to ASIB and new album heavily rumoured for next year.

(Possibly Kendrick is in the mix if a new album is out next year)

* - the only other option is a UK act who may be releasing a new album in spring 2018 and planning to tour it in the summer. Given it wouldn't be a recent Glastonbury act, that suggests AM.

McCartney 10/1, The Cure 4/1. Max bet £8.88 per act (or it was for me), I've put £8.50 on each.
