2019 Headliners

[RarerThanDandyB]

42 minutes until the same time the announcement was for Radiohead. 

[Memory Man]

very much doubt we are getting anything that early ever again, was a big surprise at the time how early it was (not who it was!).

I remember the moment well. Didn't get much work done that day...

What a great announcement that was in hindsight. They'd struggle to top that IMO.

Where did this 2/3 headliners have never played before come from? That's definitely passed me by. Can remember Michael saying that about 2017, was that from the recent Q&A?

He said it at the NME Awards (although the says two OR three, rather than two OUT OF three, as the slash might indicate). A week later Emily said there was one headliner booked.

Gotta be The Cure announced on Christmas Eve. I can picture it right now, I'm stuffing my face with a massive Chinese, just finished Edward Scissorhands (which was natch preceded by Batman Returns and The Nightmare Before Christmas; the full Burton Festive Trilogy_TM) bathed in the twinkling lights of my black Christmas tree. Check Twitter, The Cure have been announced for Glastonbury. Ho Ho Ho Merry Gothmas!

Just reward for us being put through the ringer with the will they/won't they right up until the festival itself in 2016.

Get some Paracetamol and give it to a person. The Cure.

As someone's first time at Glastonbury being 2017 after years of trying, and Radiohead being my favourite band, that reveal was incredible

[Gnomicide]

They started painting the logo on the 19th, the official reveal was the 20th.

 

 

[dentalplan]

They should paint The Cure’s Wikipedia article to save everyone time.

[JoeyT]

If you were going to paint something on the field today's weather is as good as any...!

[Gucci Piggy]

They're going to paint every ticket holder's photo on the Pyramid field and tweet it captioned "Pictures of You / Saturday 29th June 2019".

He said 2/3 acts [have never played] if I remember correctly. Not necessarily headliners and we believe it’s The Cure, Kendrick and Macca pretty much nailed 

The Cure have headlined Glastonbury at least 3 times already, according to Wikipedia, even if it's been a long time. Macca headlined 2004.

Has anyone mentioned Kraftwerk lately? (too many messages  here, hard to keep up!) I would LOVE to see Kraftwerk headline one of those magical Glasto nights.

I mean contrary to what was said we know a potential three. I know only Kendrick hasn’t headlined.

They will if you ticked those boxes on the ticket page! Thinking about it where they even compulsory or not?

I'll be honest with you here Fingerbobs, my posts about GDPR were shite jokes

I'd be at a Kraftwerk WH set without a doubt.

They were. In my blind panic I missed one and had to go back.
