The “be thankful” stuff never sat well with me. After a fallow year the fest should have done better, soz.

I meant “be thankful” it wasn’t LG singing Wall of Glass out of his hooter.

But also, yeah why not be thankful? They had a list of mega acts, they’re running out now between some dying , some never willing to come down to a vastly reduced fee and some simply not on tour this year. You was saying the other day that ‘09 was the best year, where they went out and got all legends. Glory years could well be gone, but you can certainly be happy that it happened at all.

Killers and Cure are alright. Pretty underwhelming after the Mac rumours resurfaced, but slap bang in the middle of the 'would watch if nothing better on' category. Was one of the few people who left the JP during Frank Carter to head elsewhere, so haven't seen them since Leeds 08.

If it's The Killers, do people still think The Strokes have a chance of being there? As I've said, it's madness that they've not played the festival once in their career. They could easily sub the Pyramid or headline Other.

I know is general consensus around here that there are no headliners available this year but checking Coachella, Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza etc seems like there are plenty of interesting choices. It seems more like Glastonbury not being able to attract them for some reason, probably money. 

Just had a look at those line ups and there is really not many choices there who could headline Glasto. Obviously Beyonce and IO guess kendrick but both would V expensive

Which ones? Primavera have essentially gone without headliners - Glasto could attract any of those top line artists and could well have some. Coachella  - Glasto wouldn't give it to Ariana and the other 2 could play lower slots.

Tame Impala have ran out of festivals to headline. I reckon they’ll do Glastonbury. 

I reckon they tend to pay us dust every summer because they want to be booked in headline slots and we don’t tend to give them to them. They really should have headlined all points east this year I’m confused that they aren’t. 

[FloorFiller]

Christ I hope there are some decent options on the other stages. Other Stage rumours aren’t exactly filling me with hope at the moment, and Janelle is clashing with the one headliner I want to see.

y u do dis glastonbury?!

Maybe they’re on at Finsbury Park. Though that would be during Glastonbury.

Ah jaysis. Everyone's gonna be singing fecking Brightside all weekend.

Re Killers [2019]

I called this ages ago and y’all Strokes fans weren’t having it. I knew this was going to happen the second it became obvious that there was not really any options for Glastonbury that would satisfy the casual attendee.

Also I reckon their booking took 5 minutes

[SwedgeAntilles]

Yeah I must admit I'm usually pretty positive about finding something worth watching but at the moment I wouldn't be arsed about any of the Pyramid subs or headliners and, while I would go along to the Chems on the Other again, it's not exactly something to get the blood pumping.

Shall we go thru the predictions you were wrong about too or what?

I’d love them at Glasto but I think they are only taking headline slots this year. (Unless someone can point me to somewhere where they aren’t headlining).

Okay...

[The Red Telephone]

Who would have thought that Kate Moss’s ex-husbands band would be headlining Glastonbury?

Fair play to ‘em.

Primavera has got pretty big and exciting headliners but it's true that they are not that well known in the UK. Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, Drake or so could perfectly headline glasto but they must be expensive as hell. Not gonna point out Post Malone cause he's not my thing but one could argue.. 

If we end up having Childish Gambino and Tame Impala as subs/other headliners would be great tbf.

Friday 

Pyramid: Stormzy, Childish Gambino???

Other: Wolf Alice

 

Saturday

Pyramid: The Killers, Liam Gallagher, Cardi B

Other: The Streets

 

Sunday

Pyramid: The Cure, Janet Jackson

Other: The Chemical Brothers

Not the strongest is it? I don’t doubt the undercard will shine this year though

*no idea why my text is so big

I think we're looking at different festivals, which one are these at? Are you talking about Primavera Sound, Barcelona? All those headliners are nowhere near Glasto headliner level. 

Kendrick could've been too expensive, not sure, but he would never have played the same year as Stormzy anyway. I think he might in the future though. I think Ariana would be met with uproar tbh. Obviously she's absolutely massive right now (but mainly amongst a different audience) but a pop star without the back catalogue of hits or widely perceived artistic credibility (rightly or wrongly) like say Gaga or Madonna would be a strange way for them to go.

Hang on a minute. It's not them that's responsible for Mr fucking Brightside is it?
