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

I don't like The Killers but even I know this is a duff opinion.

Saw them in 2013 and Rock Werchter and it was they were dull as fuck.

Well Caleb is off the drink and drugs now isnt he? may explain why they turned a bit wet the last few years.

That's the fun of it. It's been a big blow losing Macca, it's all gone a bit Buzz Lightyear finds out he's a toy here now, might as well run with it.

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.

Kid Rock? Sting? Pitbull? Bush? 

Is this the worst festival lineup of all time?

Personally I don't think any American line-up is better

Have you ever heard a man eat his own head? No? Well then you haven't heard everything then, have you?

I'd say that Killers date means they have to treated as a serious contender.

Active next summer, on good terms with the festival, secret set last time out....

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

agree, late and kicked up a fuss when they were told they were going to run over the curfew. Probably the worst headliner i ever saw at Reading (2011-15).

Texas in May. Glastonbury is at the end of June.

Seems unlikely that they would only play one US festival next summer, a few US dates in May before a jaunt around the European summer fests is hardly inconceivable.

I'm not saying they'll play, but they have to be considered.

The Killers' supposed good album literally has Mr Brightside on it. That's like claiming a Stereophonics album is good.

The hell happened to this thread.

One-off payday not far from home. Happens quite often really.

Thanks, I'm surprised it hadn't already been done.

We shall see, personally I think they're in with a shout. Interesting for an act that feel like they're over here every summer it'll be 12 years since they last headlined.

Strap yourself in. I reckon there's at least another 400 pages to go before June...

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 mean I'm not sure i agree that New Jersey is the same as New York, although the New Jersey people like to they're New Yorkers, i also prefer Born to Run to Greetings from Asbury Park. But it's great that you're convinved that Bruce and the E Street Band are headlining this year now.

Just musically speaking is Lady Gaga any bigger than Katy Perry?

Gaga's last tour grossed $94 mill over 49 shows with a bunch of cancelled tour dates

Perry's last tour grossed $28 mill over 119 shows

EDIT: Admittedly these are global figures so may not be the best guidline but

Garbage

St Paul & The Babs
