2019 Headliners

The "couple of blokes" comment was said like 2 days before the lady on Twitter said she'd heard Macca had pulled out (and bear in mind this wasn't her running to Twitter to announce what she'd heard, it was her replying to a conversation about Glasto headliners that happened to come up on her timeline on that day, so it's improbable that this happened as soon as she'd heard the Macca news).

I find it highly unlikely that in the two or so days after Emily making the "couple of blokes" comment, the following things all happened:

- Macca dropped out of Glastonbury

- Glastonbury got an offer out to a solo artist to replace him

- Lady on Twitter hears both of the above things have happened

- A conversation about Paul McCartney headlining Glastonbury coincidentally comes up on her timeline just after she's heard all of the above

Where has this Stevie stuff come from? I have always loved Stevie. 2010 was amazing.

Would I still go incase he wasnt as good?

Yes.

Get him booked.

violent bloke from Maidenheads (girl)friend went on a date last month and when she mentioned going to Glastonbury he said "i am in the music industry and Stevie Wonder is headlining this year.... want to come back to mine and listen to Innervisions.?"

The only headliner for sure is Stormzy. 

The Cure, Stevie, Lady Gaga... they’re all pipe dreams right now. There are two headline slots up in the air right now. 

Really..???

I think the Maidenhead blokes (girl)friends boasting date is as strong as we have had in 700 pages tbh... I for one believe him.

Currently watching a showreel of dance acts at Glasto, it's a real (admittedly, solo) party at HQ Tonight. Anyhow, that couple of blokes comment. We might just Get Lucky you know. Saturday night headliner, broadcast Around the World. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. 

Believe.

Followed by this later on? ;)

Kasabian headlined Glastonbury 2014.

Was inevitable and happened at just the right time for them. Thankfully won’t ever happen again. The Strokes should’ve headlined over a decade ago, but they didn’t for one reason or another (weren’t asked? £££?)  and now them topping the bill would look silly, especially paired with Stormzy and The Cure. No way would the festival take that gamble - having two lesser headliners is fine but there needs to be some bang for your buck there and The Strokes in 2019 ain’t that.

Just thought I'd check in here to see what the craic was... 

People talking about The Strokes and The Killers eh? 

I'll fetch me coat....

We’ve gone over Madonna and Fleetwood Mac again for a bit of an optimistic break but now we’re back to the dirge.

Well I didnt think I'd mention it before because it seemed like their was no chance, but now that it came up it may be right. 

A friend of mine works with a really well connected robot in the music industry (he's called synth478) but he said it was Daft Punk headlining 2019. IDK could be bollocks.

    • 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.
