At least that's a set of headliners they belong in. Imagine putting The Killers alongside The Cure.

At least The Killers have more than one good album. If it's The Strokes that's a shocking booking and I like them. Out of the suggested names Gaga would be the best. LG x

You mean like that other bloke they've bumped up?

Oh I agree - I think it's something the festival does do every now and then and ought to do more of.  Hence why I think Foals and Tame Impala can be considered headliner contenders despite a lot of people on here saying they're not big enough.

Back to a topic from earlier then. The Killers are active. Not that I think it’ll happen, especially without a new album until 2020.

Kings of Leon have some random dates too if we’re pulling names out of thin air I guess.

How many good albums does GaGa have though?  I think you can take the best bits of each of them to make a good compilation but personally I don't think she's made a decent LP (although I know that probably doesn't matter much anymore.)

Just been reading about "badger gate".....Yeah, Queen ain't happening. There seems to be a genuine dislike of each other from both sides.

Honestly I'l be glad when Brian May fades back into obscurity, he's been a right annoying twat with this Bo Rhap film, Rami Malek looks genuinely uncomfortable to be around him at this point, In the words of our Friday night headliner, he's getting way too big for his boots

Really? If that's only taking into account personal taste then fair enough but in terms of reception, I'd say their careers have followed pretty similar patterns with massively successful debuts and tailing off since but maintaining festival headline status. Big difference regarding their suitably for Glastonbury now though (for me) with one having headlined around their peak and the other having never played. (Yes I know the Killers are bigger but I think the point still stands)

I know they're not the biggest band in the world and they haven't completely lived up to their first album since but they are maybe the coolest new York band ever and they do show flashes of brilliance. I'd say this thread has convinced me that Interpol are headlining Glastonbury 2019. On the Sunday for the locals, obviously.

I'm from Somerset and it's a little known fact that the farmers round here love a bit of post punk nyc revival

Was so disappointed with their Reading set in 2011, would love to see them do a late tent set

Difference being whilst you're probably right about The Killers tailing off as well, that didn't happen until after their third album. Hot Fuss was massive and their biggest album but Sam's Town and Day & Age are huge too. They usually play the most from Hot Fuss but a fair whack from the other two as well and don't just rely on the one album. I've also heard The Strokes are dead live, Killers put on a hell of a show at the JP apparently. For what it's worth I don't like The Killers and wouldn't see them but they're a stronger headliner than The Strokes.

Watching them at Leeds was like scratching metal. Awful and boring. I wouldn't wish someone to watch them upon anyone.

Seen them live 3 times... brilliant all 3 times. More hits than the strokes thats for sure.

Even if you think The Strokes one have one good album, that's more than The Killers have.

Room On Fire is better than any Killers albums n all.

The Killers have more big songs to fill a headline set at a festival than The Strokes do.

Surely that's not in question?

Nah that's not in question. What's in question is whether any of them are any good.

The Fame and Born This Way are absolutely massive albeit not to everyone's tastes. 

As you said, you can take the best bits from each, which would be her setlist. My argument is that if you took the best bits from The Strokes you'd end up with Is This It, with a few off the second.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
