2019 Headliners

Where did the stuff about Gambino retiring after Coachella even come from? I had a look into it like last week and all the stuff I found about him retiring Childish Gambino seemed to assume he was planning to do so after his next album/tour. Before that I thought he was supposed to be retiring after Coachella but I couldn't find any sources for that whatsoever.

It’s just an assumption. He’s not even announced for Coachella yet. He’s just been saying that this tour will be his last and Coachella usually want some special event for their fee so a final Bino show would fit.

Fair enough. I thought there was more to it than that (like the Coachella rumour specifically being that it's his last show), so I guess that's positive. If he is releasing a new album it must be quite likely that he'll tour it past April.

Sorry for the off topic post, but does anyone know where the 2019 Possibilities (Non-Headliner) thread has gone? Wanted to post in it but can't find it, has it been deleted?

erm... I can't find it either, but I haven't deleted it.

I've just checked the moderator logs and I can't see anything for it there either. Only thing I can think of is that a corrupt database record is causing it to not display.

You think he's a better songwriter than George ? Or a better singer than, well the other three ?

Yes.

How odd, glad it wasn't me being stupid ?

Not necessarily. As said, he’s called this his last tour and he’s already done three or four continents. It could go either way but it isn’t like he’d be quitting as soon as the tour starts.

The possibility of Christine & the Queens being a Pyramid sub. Seems as though she's headlining APE which tends to be Pyramid sub size. I originally had her down for 4th Pyramid or John Peel headliner but I reckon she might get something better now.

Yep, reckon so. Mates went to her Bournemouth and Hammersmith shows this week and were blown away. She appeared at the back of the auditorium singing a song and worked her way back to the stage - just imagine her suddenly popping up under Lonely Tree and meandering back through the crowd to the Pyramid Stage with her dance entourage - for sure would be a moment

So Christine is down to headline APE? Massive for her if so. I had her 3rd down on the Pyramid. I think sub is a bit of a stretch, but hell if be game for it.

I was actually thinking that she might end up being an APE exclusive, would make the booking a bit stronger I guess. I've been thinking West Holts headliner for her for a while but I guess she might even be bigger than that now.

Fair. I can't see it myself. Like Neil said, they may have booked her for APE not expecting it to sell out and budgeting based on that; she certainly don't feel Pyramid sub-sized to me. Can see her just doing APE tbh seeing as it's such a big show for her.

Christine and LDR as subs would be pretty great imo. 

[Guest]

Yeah she could well be an exclusive for APE. Think she'd work well as a sub for Macca if she is at Glasto. The crowd is gonna be full of people waiting for Macca no matter who plays it, and it sounds as though her shows are pretty spectacular so I'm sure she'd do a much better job than others at keeping that crowd engaged.

Liam Gallagher - Christine & the Queens - The Streets is who I have as Pyramid subs just now.

I knew one song when I saw her at Glastonbury last time and it really was one of those moments. I wasn't expecting anything near the level of what I saw. Blew me away. I think she'd be a great act before a massive headliner for that reason.

Assuming Macca does it, his sub will be interesting one. Certainly can't see The Streets taking that slot.. although last time it was Black Eyed Peas so who knows

Liam Gallagher - Childish Gambino - Lana Del Rey

That's where I'm at too. Strong trio and 2 out of the 3 would be must see IMO.

Would be a solid 3, Pyramid subs?

Will he be choosing his own sub again though, is that now a thing?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Hopefully the sub before Macca is someone / a band  I want to see. I cant be arsed with an hour of someone I don't like just to get a good spot.

Childish Gambino would be preferable as Ive not seen him & I like the 2 or 3 tunes Ive heard. From his videos - I suspect it would beva spectacle too.  

Liam would be fine. 

Caught 2 or 3 songs of Lana Del Rey last time she played... it wasnt for me.

They'll put someone horrendous in before him again. Need to churn the shite out of the crowd.
