Elton John will be announced for the 2020 festival before the 2019 headliners are announced.

Fuck it. I take it back, I'd not seen the Superbowl show until now.  That is absolutely gloriously batshit wonderful. I'm onboard this train

Ahhhh it’s so good isn’t it. It gives me goosebumps. 

I hope she jumps off the Pyramid stage.

Alright that's a bit harsh.

I can’t see why anyone would point to Gaga’s Super Bowl set as evidence of anything other than the fact she’s still breathing.

Was a really exciting gadget though. Remember being shocked at it breathing fire during Satisfaction, having been at the Pyramid for the Arctic Monkeys the night before where it wasn’t stirred into excitement at all.

Peak Glasto moment actually.

Maybe it went burned back to dust and it will rise from the ashes once again? 

Yeah I loved it whilst watching m*****d and s**s 

Great effect on the top of it

Saw Gaga headline Lollapalooza back in 2010...it was in the middle of her Monster Ball tour and she created a unique one-off show for the festival. Her arena staging (catwalk, aerial lighting, etc) wasn't going to work on the main stage at Lollapalooza so she did a unique stage show, with a different setlist than the rest of the tour.

Same thing for her Coachella show in 2017, she was a last minute replacement for Beyonce and she was able to out together a on-off festival set that was truly a spectacle. If we end up getting her next year I have a very strong feeling you'll see Bradley Cooper join her for a couple songs.

For those of you that have never seen her, the music takes on a much more muscular/rock sound in a live setting. She has a killer band that really flesh out the dance songs with a much fuller sound.

The Gaga chat over the last few pages looks a bit funny now.

I'm all for Stormzy being given the chance to headline, but that sure is an underwhelming result after all the speculation, and over so early   (if it's correct, of course).

[Phoenix Girl]

Yeah sad it’s not Gaga (?????) but I’ve lived through this disappointment once before. Can’t see me watching Stormzy but WH are bound to have something amazing on.

The wind still whispers Gaga in my ear you know, maybe Macca or The Cure are wrong? ?

Nice one. Guess it was pretty obvious once he'd posted on Instagram. From everything I've seen he's great live,might be tempted

Who did you expect it to be?

Christ knows. I was all aboard the Gaga train before this Stormzy revelation, but I was ready to be surprised. 

[Splatt]

So Stormzy I get but still find difficult to go with Cure for Sat, even more so if it is Stormzy on the Friday. I’m sure I’ll be proved wrong but reckon there will be a round of somewhat negative press/social media when the headliners released if true - not that it matters of course.

Can't get into Stormzy but good for him if he is. Takes down one option of a potential clash for me as well. 

I'd be happy to watch both the Cure and Macca (better Clash not withstanding) so been almost hoping for someone like Stormzy or Gaga who I don't care for to give me a definite night away from the pyramid.

Even with the addition of McCartney it's not what you'd call a classic set of headliners, or at least it doesn't feel like it right now what with it including Stormzy who a lot of people assumed would sub and The Cure who many didn't expect to get the gig again. Maybe time will be kinder to it, but right now it isn't getting me particularly buzzed.

I'm feeling good-ish about this set of headliners. I reckon they've got a pretty solid set there, but my only criticism would be that The Cure and Macca are both classic British rock acts. Although they're each great bookings on their own, bit too similar. If one of them turns out to be bum info and it's really Gaga, then we're fully cooking with gas.

I suppose it's a lot about who is headlining elsewhere and quality or other time slots . I am still really hoping for gaga as I don't mind her but my wife absolutely loves her .

I can't say she feels the same about the cure or stormzy 

[Badlands]

Although I’ve only seen Macca once, and have been listening to the Beatles longer than I’ve been able to talk, I think I’d rather see a Stormzy/Gaga/Cure set of headliners.

 

[Mash011]

It's a naff set. Ticketless rejoice!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Wow feels early to have this sorted, but it's not a bad set in my opinion. Would have been nice to have a woman in there but I get that choices are limited and I think it's great to give Stormzy the boost. As it stands I could watch any of them quite happily, Stormzy mainly out of curiosity, but could easily be led elsewhere too.
