2019 Headliners

[Doug85]

This news has dashed my hopes. 

Back to hoping for Gaga now for my bet to come in. Only The Stones after that would pique my interest.

Don't think Kate Bush does many festivals... ?

Just announced for the New Orleans Jazz fest...tour ends a week before Glasto...only one thing can save the bitter disappointment of no Macca. 

Sadly I think the Stones are happy to have played it once, especially considering they nailed it first time.

Agreed, as much as I would literally love for this to happen. What a night that was.

Two blokes to headline you say? Liam and Noel headlining on the Saturday nailed on.?

If it does end up being Stormzy, the strokes and the cure it would look more like other stage headliners rather pyramid imo. In fact any two of them acts would be okay headliners if you had someone of the stature of Macca playing with them but surely not all three together (even though I'll probably see two of them).

It's crazy because it would be the 1st time I can think of that I could miss all 3 Pyramid headliners, The Strokes I don't see though, especially if they are headlining Latitude...that's not going to happen.

Honestly, considering that a trio of Other headliners (despite Other headliners never coming close to that) just goes to show how good Glastonbury has had it over the past decade. They’ve had legendary stadium-filling artists drop in for a similar fee to what London Grammar got (or didn’t get ) for Bestival, and the biggest stars in pop play mainly for the love of the place - proper star alignment stuff - and now it’s disappointing that Glastonbury is just getting acts who would headline any old festival? Hell naw.

Have we got a list of non-band possibilities that the original respondent 'wouldnt like' iyswim?

[Half Man Half Mattress]

Is The Strokes headlining that unlikely? Certainly there have been weirder headliners in the past (Skunk Anansie and Rod Stewart to name but two). Might just be that they thought they had Macca lined up and went that went awry, and perhaps Ga Ga was contacted but to no avail, the Strokes were available and thus booked.

Wasn't fussed with Macca, I'm still hopeful for Cher!

More chance of Macca jetting straight in than that

Only just opened this thread lol

my two cents

whenever this has happened in the past the headliner has always turned out to be someone who is touring.

arctics have no dates past April.

Gaga is doing a Vegas residency and it looks like she’s doing a film in the summer

strokes are available but whether they’d agree to it / Glasto would pay enough.

I honestly think the band that stands the greatest chance is Mumford and Sons. They’d probably do it for free too. I highly doubt they’d turn it down.

yeah Stormzy, The Cure and Mumford and Sons would be a terrible trio but it’s the easiest three headliners Glastonbury could secure right now.

A timely reminder of what artists think they can do vs. what us fans think they will take.

They’d have to be super fucked to turn to stereophonics. They’d call Mumford, Florence, Coldplay, Gorillaz before they’d call them

Mumford & Sons and Florence & The Machine are at Rock Werchter that night. I think we’d still be talking about them (or Mumfords at least) for the last few months if they weren’t ruled out.

edit: Bruce Springsteen isn’t touring either. Said so himself.

I swear you've suggested this before and been told already that they're busy.
