2019 Headliners

Bill Curbishley has just announced on Radio 6 that The Who have got an album coming in 2019, alongside "plans to do stuff in the UK". I know they headlined 4 years ago, but is there potential that they may have been brought in as a replacement again if rumours that Macca has dropped out are true? And if not does anyone have any ideas to what these plans may relate to? Didn't sound like a tour as such, but perhaps just a few dates.

No chance whatsoever. It was bad enough getting them back in 15 to play again. There’s be a full blown riot if they turned up again.

Where else could they play? All I can think of is TRNSMT, BST and IOW. Unless they do their own shows at normal venues.

 

That 50th anniversary of Woodstock event is happening, so I bet they'll be at that

Nah apparently Daltrey has ruled out Woodstock himself!

Although, wouldn't it be kinda weird if 3 of the headliners for it are repeats?

For BST?

Not weird in the slightest. Given that they only sell day tickets, it's a glorified concert series rather than a festival. In much the same way that nobody thought it strange when the Rolling Stones did it twice in the same year.

BST’s Phish.

The Who were rumoured to be playing BST by BSR before we had an inkling they were touring, so I imagine that’s on the money.

Weren't The Who making noises about stopping touring after the Hits 50 tour?

FWIW I thought they started well in 2015, first four or five songs I was thinking "this could be an all-time great" then it all dropped off a cliff. I can even pinpoint the exact moment it happened too - towards the end of My Generation they slowed right down and the energy seemed to completely drop for the rest of the set. Eventually I was just stood waiting for it to be over.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
