Ed/Foos are both boring you aren't wrong. There haven't be too many amazing headliners in recent years I don't think. There have been good ones but nothing like Muse 2004

Yeah, when I first started looking at rumours I was getting a bit agitated that nothing was for me, then had a look at old line ups and I think since 2014 there would be 2 headliners I'd have got out of my way to see (Arcade Fire and Kanye West), I guess there are multiple stages for a reason

Noels about so he can watch Liam perform ... and chat to him about 2020 ?

I'm genuinely quite taken back by the rep of The Strokes on here, it has been an eye opener

It's because they've done nothing of note for over a decade, and really they've been riding one album for 18 years now.

That said, The Stone Roses have managed similar.

Maybe this is why Liam Gallagher invited the Eavis family on holiday to try and schmooze a headline slot?

Didn't everyone agree they're too small to headline? Although IF it's a last minute cover booking I could see it given they're around with the new album coming

Remember Emily saying they are future headliners

And there's me predicting them to headline Boardmasters ?

Gutted.

Imagine.... the internet would break and most of the other stages would be be empty when they played... health and safety wouldnt allow it ha 

The site coped when the actual Rolling Stones played, I'm sure it can handle a couple of imitators.

They have subbed. So natural progression is heading the other stage or the pyramid. I love them personally so im more than happy they headline the other

Idk if I see them as Pyramid headliners yet personally, and I'm a huge fan! Would love them to pop up, although I'll undoubtedly see them on tour anyway so maybe it doesn't matter

Opinions again though

I absolutely love their 2nd and 3rd records. Angles is pretty good as well, not so much the last one

Certainly don't ride on that one album for me

Personally I think it's between Gaga or The Strokes.

Thing is though their set lists are usually 90% of that album, even the band know their riding it.

@endswithMJ Did Liam win the game of pool against Emily to secure the headline slot or what?

The 2nd coming is just as good as their first imo. But both their albums imo have eclipsed anything the strokes have done.

There's no reason to believe Jennifer, and even if she is right they may have moved on from whoever she meant.  I just think its interesting that she said she didn't think we'd guess.  What name does she think has NOT been suggested???  Even Slayer on the Park could have been true.

If that's right, I hope it's Gaga as I know I have no interest in seeing her. I might be tempted to see The Strokes in the hope they play those two songs they have but even fans of theirs say they are dull live so I know I'd regret it.

Radiohead played 90% of OK Computer in 2017 tho so

[jparx]

Catching up here but is there anything to rule out The Killers? Secret set went down a storm and they're about next year.

I'm resigned to it being someone quite uninteresting at this point. The chances are they've got an act that we already know is touring next year, and the majority of those are quite "meh" options. Best case scenario is Gaga but I'll be stunned if they pull something like that off.

Fair enough, maybe in that case I should lump on them to headline. I spoke with Melvin Benn at Reading 2013 and spoke about Foals, he said he loves them and that maybe they could headline 2016 and for whatever reason I didn't put money on it

Slightly different considering it was the 20th anniversary of its release (the re-issue actually came out the day of the show IIRC).

The Strokes have been farting out Is This It plus the singles from the other albums for years now.

That sad thing is its not even their best work, in Rainbows and Kid A are just as good if not better. 

[ALL_CATS_ARE_GREY]

Hard to explain why but it has to be The Strokes and that’s the way it is

Yeh its complete bollox that they ride on one album. 1st and 2nd are incredible, 3rd is decent, can give or take 4, and i love 5!

Unlikely I know, but just throwing the possibility out there. Wonder if they've been in contact with their mate Damon and got a one off Blur show lined up. Don't believe it myself but since the conversation is flowing...
