Incredibly trying IMHO.

What about the strokes? They just have been announced for BBK live

[Gnomicide]

I just can't imagine there being any interest in The Strokes headlining a festival the size of Glastonbury these days.

Not as a  headliner at any rate, they'd be a decent sub but by all accounts they wouldn't accept sub money.

People were saying the same about The Cure just over three months ago.

At least The Cure still headline major festivals, do The Strokes any more? Honest question, haven't really seen them on many lineups over the last few years so not sure where they would place these days.

Only frame of reference I have these days is that BST gig a few years back which sold so badly they were giving tickets away in the build up to it.

I've just been told by someone "in the know"(he works at one of the largest promoters in the country) that the headliners are Stormzy, The Cure and... The Strokes. I'm not buying it, but thought I'd put it on here anyway. 

It's happening.

Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Primavera Sound and Benicassim spring to mind from very recent years. Reading and Leeds if you go back a little further. But no, they're not gonna headline Glastonbury. Secret set is the best chance, I reckon.

They seem to headline pretty much anything they play nowadays. Not festivals as big as Glastonbury but what else is? Plus I feel they’ve had something of a resurgence along with many other 2000’s indie bands, and they’ve played only a handful of shows in the past seven years so a lot of youngsters still need to see them. I think they could still headline Glastonbury at some point - seems more likely than a lower spot anyhow.

That would be my favourite lineup ever and I am going. I may be seeing THE FUCKING STROKES. On. The. Pyramid.

[mufcok]

Can't see The Strokes headlining, would love to see them again though. Good to see they're gonna be active again next year

More likely to see them at Yorkshire Fields.

Did someone say on here not long back that The Strokes are doing one of the London summer gigs (All Points East maybe) or have I imagined that?

Must be APE as doubt BST would have them back when they barely got 20,000 odd in at Hyde Park, even with freebies in the run up

That was before freebies. There was way over 20k at the concert.

Yeah, it was pretty full on the night. How many of those punters were on freebies I couldn’t say.

My bad, sure I read the 20k figure somewhere, might have been sales made in the run up. In hindsight if did feel more than 20k though I was pretty wasted after Beck. Can remember both The Strokes and the sound being much better than expected though.

If The Strokes are playing I'm getting naked.

Is that as part of a dirty protest?

Could be a single from The 1975.

High five!

The Strokes are one of my favorite bands that I've yet to see at Glastonbury. Hopefully the festival is on the ball on this one!

[FuzzyDunlop]

They'd have to headline I think... Strokes vs McCartney = Macca.

Strokes vs The Cure = The Strokes.

Can't see it happening if the Cure are on.
