On their website it just says it's her first UK headline performance after the release of her new album, so I guess there must be something in the press release saying she's an exclusive @eFestivals?

It's in the blurb on the Latitude site.

In a UK Festival Exclusive, we are excited to reveal that ultimate Californian dream-pop sad girl Lana Del Rey is our Sunday headliner. It will be her first headline show in the UK since the release of her No.1 album Lust For Life.

I don't think that all. I think 5 of the 6 acts are utter shite.

I can tell you watching The Cure is like watching paint dry. Have you ever seen them? 

Come on mate, you sure you wanna die on this hill? 

Seen The Cure in 2012, they were extraordinary. 

[Henrik]

Haha....fair enough. I've seen them twice and didn't like them. And I'm a fan of their music.

I've seen them. It was pretty great.

I've also seen Noel Gallagher, and for the first 50 minutes it was one of the most boring sets I've ever been at - until right at the end when he dropped a couple Oasis tracks and the crowd decided to pay attention for the first time.

Yes I saw them at Leeds 2012 and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Also saw them at Wembley Arena in 2016 and they were great once again.

Edit: And yeah I've seen Noely G and Biffy too and neither were anywhere near as good as The Cure.

Oh wow dunno how I missed that. Works for me, wasn't excited about seeing her again.

And they're ruled out of TRNSMT by @Mezhyp1

He also said they were doing Latitude though

I missed her last time (although the reviews weren't exactly kind) so wouldn't have minded seeing her, but I'm not exactly crushed by this news.

Not to be rude but was this also the same user who had them rumoured for latitude?

Not rude, hands up the latitude one wasn't right. The person who told me about it really had no right knowing about Latitude, so maybe I should have had more foresight on that one, but that's the beauty of a rumours thread! 

 

Trnsmt I know for a fact

I was looking forward to her last time but it almost put me to sleep. In fairness I was laid at the back of the Pyramid field half asleep beforehand, so it may be unfair to blame that entirely on her.

Jules also has four shows over four days in Spain that weekend and never usually doubles up so I could tell you that one also.

Mrs Jass wanted to watch Kodaline I think, which was equally as dull.

Fair enough, so TRNSMT is off the table.

They’re headlining Glastonbury, aren’t they?

It's looking increasingly likely

Better dust off those battered Converse.

Skinny jeans back in for Glasto 19

Well as it stands with our guesses/predictions I wont be at the Pyramid for any of the headliners. I think that may well be a good thing... I can go explore or catch a better act on the Other and also beat the masses to the south east corner.... 

Saying that with those headliners I think the south east corner may get busier earlier than usual. 

I've been thinking this for a while.

Last year I saw all 3 headliners on Pyramid, so would be a fun contrast to do a year where I don't see any.

I was young, skinny and cool when The Strokes were last a realistic headline proposition. Now I'm fat, old and bald.
