You realise the fee Glasto pay is already tiny? I highly doubt they've offered him even less than that standard fee.

Sorry unclear but I meant the baseline fee - I meant that they definitely would pay a big established headline act like Macca or the Mac more

I was told a few months ago off someone who has shitloads of contacts that it was Fleetwood Mac. I did mention it on here but the consensus was there was no chance.

As was I, way back when I thought Macca was 100% so neglected to mention it. Now starting to think it may have been right

Was the pre or post Emily ruling them out?

Which band is overly reliant on slap-bass, wear socks on their cocks and have a track record of sexually harassing women journalists?

Level 42 and 'Thunderthumbs' Mark King - the acceptable face of slap-bass.

In terms of Stormzy’s fee I was told - by the person who told me Stormzy, The Cure and The Strokes - that he was playing for “practically free”.

Additionally, I was told yesterday, by a different person from a management company, that neither of the other headliners had been properly booked yet...

I seem to have something in my mind about him giving a fee to charity (Grenfell maybe?) I can't remember if that was last time, this year or maybe something non Glastonbury related. This thread has turned my head to mush

He won't be playing for "practically free", he might be donating his fee to Grenfell or another charity but the festival will still be shelling out £250k.

At a talk in Taunton this evening, Emily Eavis has said Glastonbury have NOT booked Madonna, Fleetwood Mac or Led Zep.

GlastoThingy twitter post from October. That is literally it in terms of ‘ruling out’ FM this year. 

Ladies and gentlemen, Fleetwood Mac are your 2019 Saturday night pyramid headliners. Or I will eat my hat.

Speculation guess but if Stormzy and the Cure were doing it virtually for free. They could give all the allocated headline budget to Fleetwood. I imagine that’s what they must of done in 2013 with the stones (despite what jagger says). Arctic’s and Mumfords would deffo do it for free

    • £89 for standing tickets for Phoebe Bridgers at Co-op Live is crazy 😧

    • Its taught me basically to acknowledge to turn up for the bigger acts even 10 minutes before if I wanted to see a band before and just get as central and far forward as possible so the show is at least there. Volbeat wasn't hard to access the front for at all but I didnt stay in for the whole show. They are a bit of a 45/50 minutes hits band for me. They had a crowd don't get me wrong but they are the weakest headliner in the trio all the last 3 times they've appeared. But then the festival are putting on headliners at some other festivals on their late night closing stage. The only thing I probably would have liked to do is see more of Sabaton as I enjoyed them, just the tiredness and adapting to a different overseas festival etc. The start didn't exactly go to plan for me and I knew I was struggling and didn't want to kill my bodies energy completely for the Sunday night.   I saw Palaye Royale, 30 minutes of Sabaton and 20 minutes of Limb Bizkit as I was just going past but I didnt need to stay longer for them. I checked the setlist they were doing and do be honest I stood there while they played a video recording and couldn't be bothered with it. While they looked good in that position on paper I didn't need to see them again to say I had.
