2019 Headliners

[Avalon_Fields]

They’re timing the kill or cure main line up announcement when we reach page 1000. Or 10,000 if we’re unlucky.

Poster will be Thursday at 11am. Because that's when my flight to Stockholm takes off and I won't have a signal for a few hours.

My FB memories for today showed that U2/Coldplay/Beyoncé line up/poster dropped for 2011.

That early?? Thought it was normally April (apart from the last few years when it’s been late March)

Just looked at the thingy..... all hail the thingy! The last 2 have been announced 29th and 30th March with the 2 before that being the 14th and 4th April.  Another 4/5 weeks to go then.

Well I’m concluding from my status as I’ve mentioned Elbow confirmed and then also mentioned U2/Coldplay and Beyoncé attending on the replies. Maybe it was just the headliners confirmed ?‍♂️

Nice one - so Elbow must of be one of the 13 I guess. Can’t recall the chems being announced same day but probably were. God I loved that Sat night in 2011

They weren't.  I only have official announcements though so it may have been a self confirm.

I remember U2 were heavily rumoured after not doing 2010. Then they dropped a massive hint (pretty much confirmation) on their website way before tickets went on sale. Probably the only time I’ve ever been 100% sure a headliner playing. People connected to the band knew and it got out. Doesn’t seem like that’s happened since then

The S*n on S*nday bases itself upon rumours and she a) won’t be big enough to headline the pyramid and b) Neil has information to say it will be Stormzy, The Cure and The Killers. That paper does have a good record with Glastonbury and I reckon she will turn up, maybe sub. But not headline.

Could she not be playing the Pyramid?

I said sub, that’s the pyramid. I didn’t say she couldn’t. I reckon it’s pyramid or nothing tbh

This thread has become an infinite loop.

Only other place she’d fit would be WH, and I doubt either they have the budget or she’d accept playing there.

Aye I know. She could headline but not the Pyramid, she's 3rd at best and I don't want to think she could sub. Like who is going to turn at to watch her sub?, it's a definite that you could put Ariana or Miley in that place and people will care more but the same could be said for Nick Cave.

Jackson 5 (4) headlined west holts so maybe Janet would do the same?

The Jacksons were awful. Worst headliner I've seen at Glastonbury.

I would agree .. but think that for me it was down to sound issues where I was stood rather than the performance 

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

If they were to get Janet, it would be a massive deal. She’s played in the UK three times in the past 20 years, and obviously never done a UK festival. By the time The Jacksons were playing, they were playing anywhere and everywhere. She would have to go on Pyramid, for publicity reasons for one.
