Skinny jeans back in for Glasto 19

I am 42 and currently wearing a pair of skinny jeans.

Albeit, a 34” waist. And they’re “Stretch”. Which I’m taking to mean as a more acceptable way of saying “Elasticated Waist”

I don’t like The Strokes.

Yeah I'm going struggle to pull off that jeans/suit jacket and t-shirt combo 

That was pretty much the uniform of the early 00's.

Longish hair, t-shirt, suit jacket, jeans, Converse.

I'm a married father hurtling towards middle age these days, that ain't happening.

If we end up with Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure,  I honestly think it could be argued that IOW has a better set of headliners. 

All good for us chumps in club resale though I guess

I'm slightly inclined to agree

Says on the eFests report that LDR is an exclusive, so I guess she's out of the running.

Tbf I thought with that booking LDR may be exclusive as she's only borderline big enough to headline it.

He invented mumble rap on the Prangin Out remix.

After reading "If we end up with Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure, I honestly think it could be argued that IOW has a better set of headliners" I went on isleofwightfestival.com. I really expected to find bigger names than Noel Gallagher, George Ezra and what might be the worst band of all time in Biffy Clyro.

That this can compete with anything is just crazy talk.

After months of discussion in here I would almost say this looks like six co-heads  Almost.

Potentially even all bigger crowds for the 'subs'. Not sure about CG though, or about him even being there. At least more interesting than Noel.

LDR was one of the main reasons my gf agreed to go this year. If bad news keep coming I guess we might be returning tickets after all...

Always baffled by those who want to return tickets because of a name or 2 (or lack of) on a lineup. Sure there will be plenty who would love those tickets to go back in the pot 

[willutalk]

I've usually associated LDR with Light Dependent Resistor, but who is LDR you are referring to here? 

EDIT: Sorry, I've just realised who it is!

I am sure there will be plenty of acts for me but it may not be the case for her, who just likes a few bands and singers. Anyway there is still time.

IOW line-up is rubbish. It always is. It's to be expected.

I honestly think this years Glasto headliners are just as bad. Imagine if IOW announced Stormzy, The Cure and The Strokes  for their 2019 headliners lol

It's only cos it's Glastonbury they will get away with it. And that's fair enough. 

[ghostdancer1]

are there any festivals on the first weekend of July that The Strokes could be announced to headline?

because they're hardly going to haul themselves to Europe to play Glastonbury, then sit around for 2 weeks doing nothing until their Spain gigs (and then France the following weekend)...

JC + The Voidz came to Europe for one festival last summer, and I’m sure they weren’t being paid as much as The Strokes would be either.

Loads of major bands just fly in and out, particularly ones - like The Strokes - where they have nothing to promote and no need to try and fill all the gaps with anything they can get.

Haha wouldn't have thought so but stranger things have happened. Could easily do Exit
