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.

I'd largely put that down to them being an irrelevance now. The less rebooking of bands like that the better.

Did Brandon Flowers piss on your chips or something?

The coolest New York band is Run DMC you utter squares.

[Superunknown]

Swans were formed in NYC... 

But seriously it's Vampire Weekend, come on.

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

 

Not true exactly, Perry grossed $28m in 2017 & grossed £55.3m in 2018 from the same tour = $83.3m in total.

That aside I don't think a single tour's revenue is indicative of one act being bigger than the other.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

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.

 

Any lineup with two Joe Dirt stars on it gets a thumbs up from me.

Talking nonsense

I can't believe we are actually talking about the strokes as a headliner,  what are the recent album sales like as I honestly can't tell you a song after the 2nd album.

I saw then at Leeds and was bored and lucky for us we got pulp after who were great

I really like that line up tbh. Id swap it for the projected Glastonbury line up thats rumoured thus far. For my tastes theres easily enough bands on that line up to appease a full weekend for me. 

Sting, Lynyrd Skynryd, Lauren Hill, Counting Crows, Alanis Morisette, Garbage, Bush, B52s, Joan Jett and The Beat. Id snap all those right up.

Brandon Flowers has said the new Killers album could be out by the end of the year and a new single was released yesterday.  

Everyone loved their Secret Set so maybe.....

(I doubt it though)

They get good reports nowadays. Probably cos they don’t have to be around each other for longer than a week at a time.

I'm certainly in no hurry to see them again but I can kinda vouch for this. 

Reading set was bang average IMO mainly due to their lack of enthusiasm... same issue at Primavera. Really enjoyed their set at BST though... they actually seemed to enjoy being there!

Dumbarton. Or Dunfermline.

Am I the only one who is absolutely LOVING that it’s January and we are back to wild speculation?

... NOW it feels like the build up to poster day!

No I just think they're a really bad, annoying band. Same as how I'd say Catfish and the Bottlemen's music is all trash.

Huh we have my speculation every day.

The Strokes and The Killers - joint headline - would make sense. But not very Glastonbury.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would make sense if we'd all pissed the Eavises off for some reason.

[Matt42]

Missing the farm a bit this evening.

put on Radiohead’s 2017 set whilst doing some uni work and feeling at peace. Better times ey

[Matt42]

I reckon the killers would probably go down very well. The Glasto chat lot would probably be very happy with it.

Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure would definitely be my least favourite trio of headliners Glastonbury has ever had but it does look strong on paper

[Gucci Piggy]

Led Zeppelin would go down well too but Julian Casablancas is standing in the way.
