I've met people all around the world who have heard of Glastonbury festival. Who couldn't name a single headliner of the past few years.
Glastonbury will continue to sell out in minutes. It doesn't need to 'gain' anything. Its touted as one of the best music festivals in the world. It can't really go much higher. 

The festival constantly trying to improve in every respect chief. Your response above seems hollow.

If it really is The Killers, I hope Mendip Council add a clause to the licence limiting renditions of Mr Brightside to one per ticket holder per day (not including Wed/Thurs).

This can be monitored by a chip inside the wristband, programmed to detect Mr Brightside on a Shazam type algorithm. Ticket holders will receive electric shocks every time they so much as hum that fucking tune, starting at 100v and increasing by 30v each time. On the fourth occasion, security are alerted and the ticket holder is unceremoniously ejected from the grounds. 

Those who don’t hum or sing it at all are guaranteed a ticket for 2020. 

Wow this will be really tough. I hate that song and I’m humming it already! I’m up for the challenge tho, those 2020 tixs will be mine...

There's a difference from improving and not booking the correct headliner for what you think will gain them something.

I’ve had a thought...we’ve had info that suggests that both The Killers and The Strokes are headlining now.

Could it be possible The Cure are actually headlining the Other stage?

if my Killers info is correct then it's probably the case that the included info of the cure being the other headliner is also correct.

Yes, I think The Cure will probably headline Other and in the absence of anyone who disagrees, I think that’s the general consensus. 

Anyone?

No? 

Well OK then ?

[Hugh Jass]

The "they've had two years to prepare" line means nothing in terms of headliners. Ultimately they can only go after whoever is available and touring in 2019. It's very rare that an act will play Glastonbury as a one off with no other dates planned.*

*Awaits a stream of precedent otherwise.

Woah, hang on. So your info is Killers will headline Pymild but The Cure will headline Other? 

So does that mean we’re still one main headliner down? Or have I missed who the third would be?*

*please don’t say banjo & the lads

EDIT: I’ve just realised your ‘other’ was lower case. Sigh. Carry on.

With Stomzy and The Cure I suppose they needed one guaranteed crowd pleaser. 

There will be more people at the Killers than Arcade Fire, Metallica, Kanye and Radiohead.

To book The Killers in 2019 would just look like bad fortune, but to have The Strokes lined up alongside them would look like bad policy.

Careful with mishaps like this you might just make another Summerset Live news headliner again

We all thought that before - and then 2008 happened.

Peeps would be cockahoop on 'ere if Mumfords were booked. "Solid, reliable, hung like a baboon" etc.

I heard rumours in 2017 that The Killers' JP appearance was due to them headlining the next festival, which now look to be true. I've also heard rumours that Macca and his people have been talking about headlining, but it's not this year, it's the big 50th. You have to remember that a lot of the big bookings are made far in advance. 

[Doug85]

What a rollercoaster the last 20 pages have been. I was so excited only to get to the end frustrated and disappointed (usually what my mrs says)

Never mind, I seen them in 2017 but no real need to see them again, there will be plenty to choose from. 

[Wooderson]

Jaysis the preachy tone.

The past 3 (4? consult the thingy) have sold out under an hour, before 2008, that didn't happen either.

No. "other headliner", not "Other Stage headliner".

This is why the other stage needs a new name ... to avoid confusion in just these circumstances
