2019 Headliners

[Gucci Piggy]

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.

'Couple of blokes' - Stevie all along, Macca booked for 2020. Simples! Ahem.

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. 

[djdavejohnson]

I just keep hoping The Cure info is dud

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.

It'll be like my Kate & Sydney from Pieminister when the Strokes step on stage.

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.

[SwedgeAntilles]

They're not even blokes. They're robots.

It's not Stevie Wonder. Absolutely no chance. They might as well just stick his previous set on the screens as it'd just be a replay of it anyway.

Tbf, the date 'itk' rumour is the best yet. Beats the usual friend of a friend rumour.

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. 

[djdavejohnson]

Plus we've already had to endure a fallow year. Booking The Strokes to headline just rubs salt in the wound. 

[Trout Mask Replica]

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.

[Gnomicide]

Plus,just for a laugh, someone mentioned Daft Punk for old time's sake.

What can I say, my glass is half full. The other half was 40% ABV. But that's by the by. 

[MetaKate]

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.
