2019 Headliners

[JoeyT]

What are folks thoughts on announcements then?

Remaining headliners before big poster drop? 

I'd say we're about a month(ish) away from the biggy.

I think we have the three. I guess there might be a surprise or two on the undercard but I think that may have been reserved for Janet Jackson if it hadn't already been leaked*

 

* which could also turn out to be nonsense, tbf

I only watched Radiohead out of the 3 headliners in 2017, but Stormzy, The Cure and The Killers would be poor verging on ridiculous for the best festival on the planet.  The Cure are great and a band I would always enjoy seeing, but it does seem very random. (I accept that this idea of Glastonbury having enormous and very "relevant" headliners is a fairly recent development.)

My money is on us getting a headliner before the end of the month (we always get SOMETHING in February), then maybe one or two names in March before the first poster drops in or around balance week.

Post restriction seems a bit Orwellian to me.

Yeah, but INGSOC didn't have to deal with fake accounts

It's who is available though and who they want to headline. Stormzy is a no brainer really after the hype he got from 2017 and then the Brits, throw in the fact he has a new album coming out then they will probably be glad they gave him his shot now. Whether or not you or other like him is really irrelevant as he will get a decent sized crowd if 2017 is anything to go by. The Cure is the strangest one of the 3 for me. The Killers will have a big crowd- they sold out BST and majority if not all of their last UK arena tour. 

It could have been Ezra, one of the gallaghers or the courteeners like other festivals so i'd say it's still better than whats available.

I think we might get The Killers before the end of the month, The Cure held back for the poster.

If we use the last 2 festivals as a guide we will get a headliner end of Feb and then the 3rd mid march before the poster end of March.

I've no idea

[dan05delaney]

we should really get something in the next week or so then line up poster probably last week of March, still got a feeling there could be someone that hasn't been mentioned yet headlining

Don't think The Cure is that much of an odd choice really. They sold out BST in record time last year, sold out arenas in 2016 and headlined R+L in 2012. They are doing a festival tour this year where they are headlining most of the big euro fests.
