2019 Headliners

[jparx]

I don't see why Macca would agree to play and then pull out, 8 months in advance, with no effect on his US tour. The only tenuous reason I could see is worries about his voice and Glastonbury being such a large, heavily broadcast event, but I don't really buy that. His voice has been fine at recent shows and no worse than the past few years. He's played numerous shows that have been broadcast over the past few months alone.

Doesn't really add up at all imo. There are a lot of different parties wanting it to happen and I don't see why he would pull out of one individual show so far in advance.

Interested to see what Neil thinks of it all!

Still got Bon Jovi, Spice Girls and Elton John having never played before and doing farewell tours around the time. Would none of these have Glastonbury on their Bucket list to play before they bow out? 

[Hugh Jass]

Ok, on a scale of one being not at all and ten being fucking apocalyptic how concerned should we be about these Macca cancelling rumours?

Elton - Only free on the Friday which obviously Stormzy is headlining, and would mean him doing three nights in a row which he isn't doing at all on his tour. He's already got dates announced until after the 2020 festival so he's probably the best bet for that year at the moment.

Bon Jovi/Spice Girls - Highly doubt Glasto would book either to headline so it'd come down to whether they'd accept a lower slot, which is doubtful when they can just do their own stadium shows instead and earl a shit load more money.

The Killers

I knew there was going to be a plot twist. This is bullshit though, I hope its not true...Macca was the only one I wanted to see. 

I'm not sure I believe it...I hope its wrong, but at least its some fuel for the thread.

The voice thing doesn’t make any sense at all. He’s done broadcasted festivals in America this year and got great reviews.

I’d be sad to not see Macca too 

About time I stopped missing quality headliners on JP - next year should put pay to that!

If this random twitter person (with any credentials whatsoever?) is correct, my personal hope is that The Cure was the Saturday headliner, to be replaced with a female pop act. 

Stormzy / Madonna or Gaga or Swift / Macca

Now that would be strong.

Dunno if he'd still be around but could see Bon Jovi being booked for the legends slot in 2020. Dunno if he'd accept the pay cut though

The person on Twitter didn't say the Saturday headliner has pulled out. They specifically said Macca has pulled out. It's the person on here who'd heard the Saturday headliner has pulled out.

[strummer77]

Emily also apparently said an American act had pulled out at a BBC introducing talk last week. Can’t verify that but someone on here might be able to

Oh, ok. I’m sure I saw that she said Saturday and had earlier said Saturday’s headliner were The Cure. Probably wrong anyway but who knows. 

[Gucci Piggy]

Find it weird that this thing about an American act pulling out was never mentioned on here and doesn't seem to have ever been mentioned on Twitter.

Probably just got confusing because of us all talking about two things at once.

Basically, Twitter person said that The Cure are headlining Saturday and then later said Macca was the third headliner but has now pulled out.

Person on here heard that Glasto's Saturday headliner had pulled out.

The Spice Girls are probably busy endorsing Theresa May 

[mufcok]

The 'couple of blokes' comment is an interesting one, I took it as a couple of male solo artists (Stormzy, Macca) but I guess it could be interpreted in a few different ways. Emily only said that last weekend

I think Kali just doesn't want The Cure to headline for multiple reasons. 

It's like my distaste for pop shite. 

Judging by all that's gone on it sounds like Macca might be out, but The Cure are very much still on.

I do too but the person I spoke to was there so he may have misheard. May also not be a headliner. 

[strummer77]

But basically I think the thing is... that whisky the rumours may be true we are essentially basing this on hearsay from a completely unknown source and another bit of even vaguer hearsay - and at the moment they don’t even match up. 

Lets wait for Neil before panicking 

[H.M.V]

Wouldn't be the same around here without a bit of panicking and hysteria over the most tenuous of sources. 

[morph100]

We don’t get all the headliners right until we hit 1,000 pages we all know that

I'm not a fan, but tbh having them there would free me up to be somewhere else, so it'd be a blessing in disguise.
