I need the view for my self esteem...

None of these options are getting me very excited compare to the Macca. Oh well.

I can't even remember the source where that came from, can't recall it being linked to a poster.

wasn't it a supposed text exchange between someone 'in the know' and some geezer, where there was a lot of chat and which finished off with an unreleased festival poster that the ITK guy had?

To be clear what reasons are you presuming it will be the Strokes?

Nick Grimshaw has said twice on the radio this week that he's been told The Strokes are playing Glastonbury. Not long before that someone on here had been told that the headliners were Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure.

I thought it potentially fit in with the info we'd had about Macca supposedly pulling out and Glasto approaching a "surprising" solo artist, suggesting they may be scraping the barrel a little bit. I wasn't convinced, though, as I was 50/50 on whether I believed the rumour about Macca pulling out. Now that that's confirmed I think it'd be a very large coincidence if it isn't The Strokes and those rumours came out of nowhere after Macca pulled out.

Well this has absolutely ruined any productivity this afternoon.

"How does the Macca news sit with you and is there anything about it that surprised you?"

Fair enough mate.

Do your posts in here suggest you don't think it's The Strokes?

The Strokes headlining 6 years since they last released an album and 4 years since selling barely 25k full price BST tickets makes so little sense it must be true, aka The Who in 2015.

What's the whole female thing based on? Didn't 'Twitter girl' say there's a 50% chance it could be? I.e saying it could be anyone..

At the risk of reigniting the flight times/rest debate, is Vegas on Saturday and Glastonbury on Sunday completely, completely impossible for Macca?...

Exciting this. Was quite looking forward to seeing him, but it does free me up a night at the Pyramid. Unless it's Gaga who I'd be tempted by, none of the other options being bandied about seem remotely interesting. Strokes bored me to tears back in 2001.

[Superscally]

Can anyone fill me in on the context where everyone is saying "iconic June date"? Ta. 

P. S. Found out yesterday Little Chef is no more. Week of devastation.

Nothing i know Gucci Mama

I'd just be absolutely stunned if they were headlining Glastonbury in 2019

Yep. The Macca dream is over

There was a rumour Arctic Monkeys were doing an iconic June festival but the person who provided the rumour confirmed it wasn't Glasto, so it's irrelevant.

New Ian Brown single is playing on the radio. Its a sign...

Yup. Not a chance. Apologies if you wanted to see him, but extinguish that hope before someone gets hurt.

Same guy who passed that info on said they weren’t doing Glasto.

I outright asked Blake a few months ago, and he said his contact at Domino (think that’s their label?) said he won’t be missing anything from them at Glastonbury that weekend in terms of headliners

Things may have changed, but I’m still confident on Gaga

No. Paul McCartney has to have 4 days rest between shows and if he's flying back from America it has to be 4 weeks because planes make him restless.

Ha! I'm not that arsed tbh, but he was one of those I would have felt compelled to see if you know what I mean. Would have just induced clashes.
