But seriously though why do we all 'know' it's The Cure and The Killers now?

We don't 'know' anything for sure until the poster drops but if Neil is hearing from sources solid enough that he's posting about it in hear then it's worth listening to.

Got a pal who works for a Country music magazine and he's had pretty general emails saying The Killers & The Cure complete Glastonbury headliners. Could be completely coincidental but he's got these this morning just as Neil says something is coming

emails from who?

 

worth remembering that a "music industry" magazine said it was McCartney, with Liam on Friday, so I'm not exactly putting too much faith in whatever rumours are floating around the magazine publishing industry in general.

Without hindsight, surely not. That was very strong at the time.

I only mentioned it as I thought it was generally regarded as a low point - and was the year when the festival actually failed to sell out until the last minute!

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.

I didn’t think The Nal needed a troll account outside of his main one.

Okay cool. This is my first year using this forum so I'm not sure how often he is right but sounds good

probably more due to the dogshit undercard, dreadful weather the previous year, and financial crisis TBF

Glastonbury 2019, featuring the headliners from all your favourite midsized festivals such as Wireless, Latitude and Bestival.

This is what happens when you put all your eggs in one McCartney shaped basket. 

And the person signing the cheques is as boring as sliced pan.

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.

I'm more than happy with my current headline options as (probably, TBC) Chemical Brothers on Saturday night and Janelle Monae on Sunday. Friday will either be a matter of getting over to the naughty corner early to avoid the rush or there'll be something else on somewhere that has yet to be announced. I'm set. It's all good.

As much as it's not a very efests lineup I think a top two of The Killers and Liam Gallagher will go down really well, better than the other nights anyway.

Of course it will.

The general public is the majority of folk at the end of the house party screaming Mr Brightside and Wonderwall while throwing beer over themselves like its summer '18. eFests is the kid who got dragged along by a mate but spent the night in the garden wearing a Radiohead shirt and smoking.

How are the Chems now Sat night? Last I heard was the Eden Project Friday info.

Let it never be forgotten that The Fratellis sub-headlined the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury.

Never forget.

the way that was worded suggested it wasn't info from the same source as the rest of the stuff they had. It's not impossible they got those names as a result of what I'd said.

Henceforth - “the fratellis slot”. Checks out.

We only know it's Sat or Sun. Rest was just us guessing I think (mine was Sat).

No Alex Cameron slander on this website please.

Sorry

I was pleasantly surprised when I turned up and it was Alex Cameron but he was definitely a weird choice of support

Yeah, tbf I spent most of the time he was on telling a 6yo that The Killers were definitely on soon.

The weirdest support for me has to be Jizzy Tissue - sorry Dizzee Rascal supporting Muse at the Etihad though. Mass movement towards the bar when he was on.

Stormzy / Catfish and the Bottlemen 

The Killers / Liam Gallagher 

The Cure / Childish Gambino

[JoeyT]

Hang on,

Just to confirm is an actual announcement expected today or?

I've heard plenty of anecdotes on how bad 2008 was but jeez, that Friday Pyramid line up is embarrassing. 

[mufcok]

Where are we at with Noel now, no longer playing? Really don't see where he fits on the lineup with these developments

Foals will by dying to take that sweet 'secret JP T set which means we get to headline the Pyramid next available year' slot now.

Another slot. Nice.
