2019 Headliners

So Stormzy is Friday, but do we *know* know that The Cure is Sunday? Meaning the third headliner has to be Saturday? Or is that just the only day The Cure is free so basically they have to be Sunday if we believe they are playing at all? Thinks that's it innit.

They're free on the Saturday and Sunday but aren't doing back to back dates in different countries at all on their tour (they're in Belgium on the Friday).

The person on Twitter who said Macca had pulled out said it was The Cure Saturday and Macca Sunday, but at the same time someone on here who'd also heard Macca had pulled out had heard they were the other way around.

Consensus is that The Cure are most likely Sunday.

The Cure are free Saturday and Sunday, but aren't doing any back-to-back nights anywhere on their current tour, and are already playing somewhere (Belguim?) on Friday night, so very likely won't play on Saturday.

 

e: what GP said!

Cool, okay, so it's best guess not set in stone still... I know everyone thought they seemed an odd "Sunday locals act".

I definitely want to start spreading a rumour that Macca will just jump on the plane post Vegas and head straight over...

I'm the opposite, I think they'd be a weirder choice for Saturday night which is the largest TV audience. I don't think The Cure are that odd for the locals, really.

In fairness, we can't say Wednesday America finish, Glastonbury Saturday wasn't tight going.

Not even close imo. JayZ, The Verve are undoubtedly headline acts and the kings of leon were pretty much at their peak at the time. as I say imo no comparison.

I dunno. I'd certainly peg The Cure as a bigger act than The Verve. Were they touring round Europe headlining festivals all over the place in 2008?

Both dreary has-been rock acts, but at least The Cure do have a handful of pop bangers in their back pocket.

Collins is a bit rubbish, but I don't have a deep hatred of him. Now when it comes to Sting, @fatyeti24 really does have some feelings.

He did an album with Shaggy, he's gone up in my estimations.

If it was going to be Macca and ends up being Phil Fucking Glass Back Collins I'm going to be really rather upset. The twat faced, whiney voiced, Tory gobshite.

I read that in Will from The Inbetweeners voice when the french exchange student was in bed with the girl he fancied.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
