If it's not right for 2019 there's no reason to think it would be for 2020. I know where that info has been sourced from, so I've good reason to think it's right.

Madness Yes very pissy -this happens all the time in the US When I went to Coachella this year I was amazed how much space I had around me - no one barging into me like the crush in the UK. And people getting pissy if you stand on their blankets...It's a weird mix of entitlement and lacking self-awareness - in that they thought I was wrong. They wouldn't last five mins at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a dream thread in here and that one was quite common. What does it signify I wonder?! It means you fancy your mother. They all mean that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah, middle of the day you don't go stepping on people's blankets if you can get round them, but the idea of doing that at the front even early doors, just don't get it! I do love a cultural gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible sub for the Pyramid? They were decent in 2016 subbing on a Friday I think. But can only see them going down rather than subbing again. Plenty of other acts around now I think would be picked to sub instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness I went to a Simple Minds gig at a National Trust site a few years back and got right down the front of the stage. Some lads from Liverpool, having a dance and a thoroughly good time got marched out by the police after some jolly nice chap phoned in a complaint that his girlfriend was getting jostled a bit. True story... now that’s gig madness right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosingMyEdge Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think Foals would be better suited to headlining the Other if they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecretingredientiscrime Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I don’t think they’d want to headline Other. The basic rule is you’re very likely to never headline Pyramid if you headline Other previous to that, and I’d imagine/hope they still have ambitions for that and the festival do to.

Mattymooz Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just read that apparently Gaga is going to have a Metallica feature on her new album. Would be a cool suprise guest if true & she plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClementsMike Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Isn't Pink much more likely to headline than Gaga? Pinks sold out a load of massive dates and is free on the Friday night - I know it would be 4 on the bounce but, hey, you would wouldn't you? Gaga has no other dates lined up and is ill - a residency is 'probably' easier to manage than touring, surely? I dunno - neither are on my radar, but Pink seems perfectly placed and by her tour dates, popular enough to provide a massive female headliner, no?

It's not outside of thinking that Gaga would do a one off show if she is not touring just like others have done in the past such as Kanye etc I did think that Pink was being ambitious with 2 dates at Wembley but obviously not as she has sold them out. However 5 nights on the bounce is probably too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Pink wouldn’t headline Glastonbury the same way Michael Buble wouldn’t. Big acts but it’s not the same crowd. The zeitgeist or “cultural importance” factor has come up on here before too, but most people don’t seem to get it. Sheeran, Gaga, Adele, yes they sell lots of records and tickets, but they also have some effect on culture. People make jokes about them at the pub, they get thinkpeices written about them, everyone has an opinion one way or the other. Pink just sells, and that’s typically not enough to headline Glastonbury. Hopefully that doesn’t change.

Bradders Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 That’s what I mean, it’s nothing to do with how ‘big’ they are when they’re typical chart pop acts. It doesn’t apply to the more traditionally Glastonbury genres like rock and indie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think she should be in consideration though. You're right,. five nights in a row makes her unlikely, but I certainly wouldn't rule her out of the Friday based on that. I wouldn't say she's the most likely, but she actually has more of a logical link to the festival than Kendrick and Gaga, who currently aren't even in Europe next year! Although, of course, that's not taking Lawn's tea leaves in to account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
