2019 Headliners

[kalifire]

I think it's reasonable to assume that his US tour is a priority, and that while it's going on, he'd be happy to do Glastonbury if he can do it - but that if it becomes an issue, he'd give priority to the part of the world he's in right now (knowing that realistically, he could headline any year he likes). So my working theory is that if he's pulled out or put it back by a year, it's probably either because of extra dates State-side, or a realisation that he doesn't especially want to come all the way back home for a festival.

He's also huge enough that if he did play 2020, nobody would bat an eyelid. It doesn't come much bigger.

Three UK arena dates is pretty much the norm for what he does on each album.

True but he hasn't done many dates here for a while (it seems to me he has played elsewhere a lot more in recent years?). It feels like there's more interest in him maybe because of the various 50 year commemorations etc. Just would expect something else next summer but who knows...

Even if he doesn’t do G I hope he does something next summer. Haven’t seen him live since 2010 and I really want to rectify that.

Skepta to replace Macca.

[jackdavidchan]

How come everyone's saying Macca has pulled out? Is it just speculation?

yep, tho it's come from someone (on twitter) who looks like they might have decent music biz contacts and so info.

Mr BST Hints has now made a post that seems like a Lady Gaga reference.

If she's doing BST she'd be an obvious bet to replace Macca. It could also be that she's replaced him at both Glasto and BST.

Mr BST Hints

Why do people keep avoiding referring to @Brave Sir Robin by name? He's not a mystery dude on the Glasto boards.

He's the Mr Jackpots of BST headliners.

When I was posting about him yesterday I actually couldn't remember who it was and couldn't be arsed to look. Referred to him as Mr BST Hints today so people knew it was the guy I was on about yesterday.

Apologies @Brave Sir Robin.

Stormzy, Lady Gaga and Kylie. Starting to look a lot like Smash Hits.

Hellooooooooooooooooo Neil Young b2b Bob Dylan

[Brave Sir Robin]

 Apology accepted, @Gucci Piggy (or should I say, Mr APE ITK ?). I heard one definite and a few likely names, and they didn’t include Macca. But he could still be there for all I know, in addition to or instead of what I heard.

Is Madonna 100% out of the equation? She has a new album coming in 2019 and it'd make a ton of sense for her to headline...

It would but it appears her asking price is millions higher than what Glastonbury would be willing to pay

[Matt42]

Stormzy, The Cure and Lady Gaga would be very strange headliners and I highly doubt the GP would lap that up.

i guess resale will be a walk in the park right?.... RIGHT?

also Lady Gaga being the biggest act on the lineup considering her career (before a star is born) is pretty mad. She was meant to be on a decline!

It took me a while to get that

Mumfords just postponed their tour cos they're headlining glastonbury. 

[strummer77]

One thing that makes me think it’s not Gaga though is that Emily said about a ‘couple of blokes’ thing and if Gaga was headlining I would have thought she may have referenced or at least hinted the female headliner? 

Also it hardly fits with the twitter random saying it’s someone you’d never guess/it being a shock. Lady Gaga seems to be linked every year and her stock is really high right now

That's because it's 6ix9ine.

It depends whether the twitter user is a petitioner or not.

in their world Glasto only has stock for oasis

She comes across as sound enough. I don’t think she’s lying on anything either, just whether the info is legit or not (as most ends up being Chinese whispers even in good faith)

[Gnomicide]

Mumfords have just been interviewed on Radio 2.

I didn't listen.
