Yes. I think it's a fair assumption. They're giving him a massive shot and taking a punt on him - he is not an established headliner

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

Must say I'm enjoying all the support for Gaga from both gals and lads - gives hope that if not this year then one Glasto soon will have a fab female headliner

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.

By the length of the straight.

Plus we might get an Atoms for Peace secret set if Thom Yorke pops in.

If the socks-on-cocks slap bass merchants are the answer then I don't wanna know the question.

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

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?

Off the top of my head I'd say pre but I'd have to do some digging on when I was sent the message

I did not know Miles Kane had started utilising slap bass.

Fancy some slap and tickle?

Stormzy, The Cure and Fleetwood Mac... Planning for hard brexit then huh?

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

[djdavejohnson]

If it does indeed end up being Stormzy, Fleetwood Mac and The Cure... bar 2009 we've not had two 'legendary' headliners in the same year this century IIRC?

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.

Ha he's not my cup of rosy but I'll concede it could be his defining moment.

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
