they aren't touring though, this is what i don't understand

Mate you just said you're starting to think it's Arctic Monkeys, who have less Summer dates than The Killers.

if any of those are wrong as the headliner it's The Strokes, I'm pretty sure. I've had the same info on the other 3 from more than one direction.

You've got a direct line to Liam Payne and Niall Horan?

what does touring in the summer have to do with it unless they have cut out dates specifically for Glasto?

Someone said they’d heard again this weekend that The Strokes were at APE over on that thread.

Do we have any indication of when APE are dropping the Saturday lineup?

They're the worst band I've ever seen live also. Didnt even do an encore (and it wasn't a festival). They seemed like real dicks on stage.

Not doing an encore is commendable in even the greatest acts, so surely it's even more welcome in an act the quality of KoL?

I'm not really sure that that's indicative of anything - we already know there's rumours going around for them at APE.

??? Artists tend to do more than one date when they start up their touring machine. If an act has dates in the Summer they're much more likely to do Glastonbury than rehearsing and starting up their touring machine including all the staff required just to do one show.

Sure, there's a chance it could be Arctic Monkeys, but I have no idea what makes you think it's likely when almost everything points to it not happening.

If arctics are doing a UK 'iconic festival' in June, where is it if it's not Glasto?

[OddRon]

Have the feeling people just wanna repeat the headliner they want over and over again and ignore everyone else on this thread so at this rate just give us Celine Dion for a laugh

We all get that you hate AMs  

And your point on touring machines, it applies to all acts not just headliners - so it's bs and we've seen it proved wrong in the past

I don't think UK was ever mentioned in that exchange...just 'iconic June festival'...

Yes and the person who passed that on was told “no Glastonbury” a number of times.

It was never said to be UK, and was also said to not be Glastonbury. Most common take was that it was Bonnaroo, and the most recent rumour was that they pulled their June US dates.

Eh I like Arctic Monkeys lol.

What? I know it applies to non-headliner, where did I say otherwise? And yes I know it sometimes happens, hence why I said it could still be Arctic Monkeys. I just don't understand why you think they're likely yet told someone else The Killers are unlikely because they're not touring.

Edit: To add to this, if Arctic Monkeys were doing Glasto do you not think they'd be likely to do some other festivals around it that they didn't hit up last year? Like Benicassim?

When we say they're touring in the context of playing Glastonbury, it means touring this summer. As far as all of us know, as well as those much more in-the-know than us, Arctic Monkeys have no plans to tour this summer.

Wtf are you talking about?

[Hugh Jass]

It does seem there's something odd going on with the AMs at the moment - Album out last year, you'd think they'd be touring the shit out of it this summer. I still think the backlash to TBHC has stung them and they've gone back to make another AM to keep "real guitar music" crowd happy.

perhaps, but their touring last year seemed more selective than bands of their size tend to do, and I'd say they're probably the band more likely to do a one-off for Glasto than other bands.

(that's not me saying I think they are, just that it's not impossible).
