2019 Headliners

[zico martin]

No point having 30 something stone cold classics if she's either not gonna play them or just do a wee mash up /medley with them though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even if she only plays 10 it's still 10 more than Kasabian conjured up.

Easy target, I guess. But they know how to pick a setlist to give the best show they can, and they did.

Was thinking about that proposition re. The Strokes.  Last Night really is the only song that has a life outside of their fanbase.

Someday is on an advert at the minute

A Madonna set with only 10 classics would bomb like fk tbf. If she were to drop a greatest hits set however it would be pretty special. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

The thing with Madonna's arsenal of bops is that they are spread out throughout her career.  She's not just dependent on her first couple of records.  No-one would object to a couple of newish singles - it's the slews of album tracks that fuck thinhs up.

and 99% of people who hear it probably don't know it's The Strokes.

Says in Johnny Marrs book that the Smiths headlined 

[KeithRichardsWavedAtMe]

The Smiths didn't headline, someone I've never heard of did instead 

[KeithRichardsWavedAtMe]

The Smiths didn't headline, this lot did apparently

In a way, it’s right. The Smiths didn’t play last, they played early afternoonish either because of the young age of their crowd or because there were groups of people who chased them off the site, depending on who you speak to.

Kinda. The hits are tampered with also. Remixes and that. Hung Up performed sans Abba sample fr’instance. Incomplete bruv.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Also true.  I've got no beef with new arrangements, but not at the expense of the song.

There's a danger of Kylie trying that on as well.

Madge and Kylie have moved past a celebration of their songs and onto a celebration of themselves. A worry.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a groovy scene

“Headliner thread is ‘Hot!’, something must’ve happened or something reliable heard.....

oh just more vague (vogue?) speculation.”

I’m so ready for a proper announcement right now!

[CaledonianGonzo]

As an aside, the Weather Report lads were dope.  Would be more of a WH headliner in this day and age though.

Weird double post

[Purple aki squat]

Stormzy and the cure aren’t going to cost a fortune to book so I reckon the third headliner is Fleetwood Mac.

Shows at Wembley just before for extortionate prices so nailed on I think.

No chance Madonna is doing it.

[Gnomicide]

Contains elements of.

They didn’t headline, and played the day after the Smiths
