2019 Headliners

Given how much we have been scraping the barrel Calvin Harris probably isn’t that bad a shout.i’d be nowhere near him but he does seem very popular. Wonder what reaction/crowd he would get at Glastonbury..?

There are reasons why he may be less likely but then there are for the strokes and killers who have been heavily discussed.

In a fight to the death? 

I don't like the killer lads, not edgy enough and don't love up to their name really. Not asking to be actual killers but killing a tune would be a bonus. I don't know what a post malone is. So I'm obviously old and confused. Not sure if I'm ready for Acoustic tent and ale yet but teetering on the edge. Oh woes.

To add insult to the injury that his musical outputs cause, I just stumbled upon this gem:

"According to Post, he chose "Post Malone" as his stage name when he was 14 or 15. The name was rumored to be a reference to the professional basketball player Karl Malone, but Post later explained that while "Post" is his last name, he used a "rap name generator" to get "Malone"."

I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but I find the fact that he actually admitted to this to be hilarious and kind of endearing :lol:

I like the Killers a lot, but it does just irk me that a band can play a (successful) set on a smaller stage in 2017, and then be bumped to headliners simply because there’s nobody else..

Ok, I'll bite. The Killers were a headliner sized band playing a secret set on a small stage. Even as I'm typing this I don't know why I'm bothering but I can't help myself. It's not like they were a normal, mid afternoon John Peel sized act who did well and are now back to headline the Pyramid. I'm still banging on. Though if they were and they packed the stage like they did and get the plaudits The Killers got, maybe bumping them up to headliners wouldn't be such a bad idea. I feel ill.

Exactly and it may have even been the agreement that if they came and did it they’d be given a headline spot for the next festival. 

Of the 3 rumoured headliners the Killers will get the biggest crowd and will go down the best for the TV audience.

i love them though so maybe I’m slightly biased

Yup, I don't get personally what the difference is between The Killers playing a secret set and then headlining the Pyramid and Radiohead headlining the Pyramid after a secret Park set?, Biffy have been mentioned previous and Pulp to headline who both did secret Park sets. A secret set on a smaller stage doesn't determine the placing for a proper set at the fest.

    • exactly. give them mordor slot when I have other alternatives, not Wednesday
    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
