CaledonianGonzo Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 It's more of a slight on TITP that she had to support some c**ts than it was a bad booking for the G. They died on their arse as a festival like 3 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Expression Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Mumford and sons as a possibility, one of the biggest bands in the world. Going through all their albums on social media at the moment so new album must be on its way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 It's been 5 or 6 years since they headlined. They must be due another stab at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Mumfords were a flash in the pan, they're on the way back down now. They'll never headline Glastonbury again, they'll pop up at IOW next year most likely, maybe they'll even do a secret set at G to save face.

ivan Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Not sure how well most of the new Arctics album would go down on The Pyramid or how the viewers at home watching on telly would understand it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably get away with doing IOW, Hyde Park and a JP secret set like The Killers did. Can’t see them being given the headline spot again unless Glastonbury are struggling after a pull out.

henry bear Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 There seems to be an assumption on here that the Eavii complete some sort of quality control assessment of a potential Pyramid headliners’ last album before the deal is done. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Some acts are one and done. Just the way it is. Mumfords, Kasabian and Arcade Fire the obvious recent examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That post about the Arctic Monkeys only suggested that the new tracks won't go down well, not that they wouldn't be booked as a result of it. I could however see reservations from the band in coming back with that one atypical album and not much else to differentiate from the last time, and saving their next Glastonbury headline slot for the following album.

The 2013 set was mostly AM-free. Point still works though. This album campaign seems to be at best treading water, mental ticket sales notwithstanding, so it wouldn't surprise me if they went away again after Christmas and shelved their presumed stadium tour for the next album.

I think it’d be a real shame if, after at least attempting to do interesting and different, the reaction forced them to retreat and fart out AM2.

Three songs off of it - the two most popular ones and then an album track everyone talked through - and the set is inextricably tied to the AM era so it counts for me. When you think of how far they had progressed in the same time period between 2007 and 2013, (despite bewilderingly playing largely the same set lol) coming back next year seems crap. They'll definitely be still touring next year tho. Doubt they're ever gonna do stadiums at this point but they'll turn up somewhere. I just think that Glastonbury is so much of a milestone for them that they can't just be doing it every time they change their outfits now.

Mmm. Turner’s ego is sizeable enough that there’s surely no chance he’ll totally cave but even he must surely realise how dearly the lack of choruses has hurt their rep here. I know Arctics fans are ridiculously devoted but it still seems unlikely they’ll be queuing up in droves to pay £60 to sit at the back of Wembley Stadium and listen to Star Treatment.

Yes I agree with you. Would seem a bit lame and predictable for them to be the first headliner after a fallow year yet again as well, though obviously that would be the last thing either party would consider.

Honestly the last album tour went on for so long and took in so many festies, they’re due a return to Glastonbury before anywhere else ... obviously not as Pyramid headliners but, if there was an ‘edgy’ cool kids Pyramid headliner like Pulitzer Kenny or Elton John, they could quite easily headline Other.
