Which therefore would make him more likely for Glastonbury? Whats the current interpretation of the 'damn' forum post from a few weeks back? (Yes, I'm trying to drag the thread back into the world of relevance) @Little Andy I told you to keep pumping out those lists..... they bring order and focus. well, I for one am all for Mr Lamar... I wouldn’t know him from a kick up the arse but at least I wouldn’t have spend the night at The Pyramid every night which would be my concern if Gaga signs up....

Not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped cos I was just copying and pasting the exact same list. But, seeing as you ask ... My thinking of 3rd headliner, in order of likelihood : 1. The 1975 : Apparently have been offered to play the festival. But to headline? And instead of Leeds and Reading? 2. Stormzy : Tweeted about Glastonbury, but only has 1 album. 3. Taylor Swift : Some random music promotor guy with no reason to trust him says it's her. 4. Lady Gaga, Mumford & Sons, Kendrick Lamar : They breath.

(Yes, I'm trying to drag the thread back into the world of relevance) well, I've no idea on Kendrick, but I'm thinking that the lack of real ideas for the 3rd headliner is pointing to it being someone from outside the UK. For UK acts there tends to be something floating around, and there doesn't really seem to be anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there’s trouble snaring a third name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there’s trouble snaring a third name. I don't think it'd be particularly unusual if all headliners weren't in place at this time of year, and yep, the lack of rumours could be because a deal hasn't yet been done. But that could apply for any of the possible headliners, not just The 1975 - so that can't really be used as an indicator in any direction. It is the case, tho, that a lack of rumours does usually mean non-UK. So that's the way I lean at the moment.

Little Andy Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Ok, new thinking for 3rd headliner, in order of likelihood : 1. Taylor Swift : Some random music promotor guy with no reason to trust him says it's her. And eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act. 2. Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar : eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act. 3. The 1975 : Apparently have been offered to play the festival. But to headline? And instead of Leeds and Reading? And eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act. 4. Stormzy : Tweeted about Glastonbury, but only has 1 album. And eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act.

glastolover19 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Throwing my hat into the ring, The cure,Macca and Elton.

I see Giddings suggested Dylan himself (tho not necessarily as headliner). It'd be 50 years from Dylan's appearance at the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
