2019 Headliners

[stuartbert two hats]

All this talk of Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen is giving me flashbacks to the most dreary and overrated lineup of the festival's history.

Dreary?

I can use the term rubbish if you prefer?

3 rows from the front of acoustic for Ray Davies. No regrets.

Each to their own mate. Pisser for you that you didn’t enjoy.

09 delivered for me in spades.

I watched start of Neil young and headed over to watch Doves.

Best set I’ve ever seen on JP, possibly one of the best I’ve ever seen on the farm. Great atmosphere and the band nailed it, great night.

Would be happy if Young got another shot as I’d love to see the whole show.

Fishing much??

Saturday night headliner stays secret until the day. 830pm a huge bell gets lowered on the Pyramid and tolls a sombre note. ACDC commence their final world tour...well...a boy can dream, right!?

I was at the Hyde Park gig w/ Macca too. Little Steven says that was one of their best ever. 

2012, 2013, I think it's a longer late splurge of brilliance. His Summer/August, early Sept finale 2016 is up there with his best. You should buy his 3 NJ shows late August 2016 and play one each over 3 nights. great stuff, I made it to the 3rd/finale, was away on holidays the first 2. 

I have seen Bruce in a number of locations, IOW, Werchter arena, Emirates, but the 2013 set at the Olympic Park was fantastic, Born in the USA was done in full, not my favourite album, but a beautiful summers evening in the Olympic Park a year after the olympics, sun going down over the velodrome. One downside was he did not do Thunder Road.

I'm just bitter because I got some bad drugs, ended up running around the site in circles all Friday+Saturday night then was so Ill I didn't get to see Blur.

Good job I didn't do the same thing in 2010 and miss Stevie Wonder.

For downvotes? I know how popular Shakey is in these parts. If I was fishing, I'd only have slagged off Bruce.

It was Q-Tip on WH for me.  Always been a fan and he hardly ever plays over here.

My choice as well. Would love to see him back again

[incident]

I went to see Ray on that Friday night as well and have no regrets. Utterly spellbinding set of all the hits, and for my taste better than his much loved Pyramid set the following year. You still had people singing the chorus from Lola an hour later in different parts of the site.

That being said, if Neil Young decides to drop back in on us this year, I can't imagine anything that'd keep me away.

[Wooderson]

2009. Peak of the graph.

[Mardy]

Can’t remember what we did on the Friday. Got a feeling that after the Specials, we headed off for a wander instead of watching Neil Young. No regrets about that.

We saw him open with Hey Hey My My and then wandered off to watch Q-Tip. Zero regrets.

Ray Davies in the acoustic for me. My absolute favourite set by any artist on any stage in ten Glastonburys. Just amazing.

[kingcrawler]

Arcade Fire to be the missing headliner imo.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Baffled as to why The Doves are even part of this conversation.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If Emily's kids are playing on her phone they might be prepared to spill on who the headliners are.

Been away for a week and lost track, where we at with the most likely contenders so far?
