2019 Headliners

[Yokel Again]

Will it be all 4 Killers or Brandon, the drummer and some of his session mates?

[Hugh Jass]

Cards on the table - If there's nothing else on I'd see the Killers, especially if pissed.

Does it matter?

It's all making sense now!

 

Anyway. I'm happy with The Cure & The Killers. Probably be the first time I've watched 2 headliners since 2011.

And it would be the first time in ten Glastonbury's that I won't have seen a Pyramid headliner. I'm very slightly gutted as being there is a spectacle but I was always prepared that the headliners this year wouldn't be for me.

The Strokes are 100% a weaker headliner than The Killers.

They're better but they're not more suitable for headlining Glastonbury unfortunately. I'm not excited about the Killers but you can guarantee they'll smash it and get a very strong reaction overall (but obv not here).

"As the song drew to a close, The Killers then proceeded to deliver an impromptu cover of Oasis’ ‘Gas Panic’, taken from their 2000 album ‘Standing On The Shoulders of Giants’.

Can't believe I thought I'd be watching Hey Jude but we're getting this instead

It'll almost certainly be this.

But while I love the original lineup in terms of live experience the latest tour with the above config was the best I've seen them yet and I've seen them lots

Sames. I quite like The Killers, just a bit of a sorry state for them to headline in 2019.

[OddRon]

Killers were great on tour after glasto in 2017, saw them in brum, the band members missing were all skill and no personality, Brandon and Ronnie are the heart of the show and the sessions musicians did a great job

The Killers, ffs must Mr Brightside follow and haunt me everywhere I go, song does my head in

I won't get into a big debate about it again, but it does baffle me how sometimes the same people who think the likes of Florence and the Machine could headline again rule out The Killers. 

It'll be a long term bet so you've gotta commit to yr efests future, but if anyone wants a tenner to charity that The Killers won't headline on their next album cycle (if there is one, void if they split up lol) then gimme a shout. ?

You're on.

New album cycle is a bit of a grey area depending on where they're up to in June. But I reckon this should count lol.

I have been laughed at by so many people on here for insisting The Killers are clearly still in contention as headliners hahahaha.

Indeed, if ever there was a song to make you sit down in a bar it would be that one.

Culchies absolutely lap it up. Music for men in Subaru jackets with enormous hands like shovels and an unfeasible amount of dirt under their finger nails.

Who?

On the plus side, this is surely pretty much the best set of headliners imaginable for people like I who don't have a ticket yet!

I'd only see The Cure of those three - sod's law they'll clash with the Chems.

I didn't watch any in 2015 & 2016. Much as we all say it's hot about the headliners, I did miss not having anyone I wanted to see.

[hughes21]

i have seen the killers twice the last being in 2009 and they were good both times, but not a good choice for 2019

Every cloud

Tame Impala Friday would be very nice.

[blazingstars]

So this thread has got crazy this am - how sure are we now that it's Cure and Killers?

[Bovla]

@eFestivals still no word on how solid the info is??

Yes, could be worse. But there’s also very little chance I’d see them. Mates and I chose *not spending all afternoon at the John Peel Stage* over seeing them in ‘17 - I’ve got some regret over missing that but not enough to see them headline the Pyramid.

wonder if @battleborn is still about

[MEGABOWL]

Not a fan but good on Glasgow Green last year. Will make a better fist of it than T’Strokes anyhow.

[jparx]

Mad Cool seem to be holding back a headliner or two, and The Killers fit with one of their clues so maybe they're set to announce a load of European dates shortly?
