Kylie and Janet on the same day? Seems unlikely, but I’m in!

Really don't think she could.

To be honest I think even the people saying sub are a bit optimistic - if she's playing Sunday then my best guess would be 3rd from top immediately after Kylie. Even then I think Kylie would slightly overshadow her.

I think she'd play below Kylie to be honest.

Remember when Janet Jackson's boob was accidentally on TV for about 1 second and the entire world lost their minds about it for about 6 months? All anybody could talk about. The news used to be quite banal before the constant existential threat of western civilisation's impending collapse.

Odds have been slashed on The Killers headlining according to NME.

“’Somebody Told Me’ that The Killers could be on for another Glastonbury headliner slot this year – so we’ve cut our odds after they’ve been well backed,” said a spokesman for 888sport. “Brandon Flowers would certainly be ‘The Man’ for the job, and after a flurry of bets, we think they’re set to light up the Pyramid Stage once again.”
 

Saw that. Interesting.

All we need now is to have Kasabian enter the fray and we’ll have the unholy KKK trinity all in possible (hopefully unrealistically) contention

If you’re willing to spend a few quid on it, you can push their odds down and they’ll have their own article and everything.

Kings Of Leon and The Killers would be much more suitable headliners than The Strokes tbf.

I mean, they're all mostly dogshit for 10+ years, but at least your average Pyramid field dweller/BBC viewer would actually know who KoL and The Killers are and more than 1 of their songs.

Why should we care about those people?

This may well have been raised already but if it does end up being The Strokes, maybe that wasn't the original intention, i.e. they were booked to sub Paul McCartney (or The Cure), and circumstances (i.e. a headliner dropout and no viable alternatives) resulted in a Florence-esque bunk-up?

Pretty much the ONLY way The Strokes are gonna headline Glastonbury in 2019.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
