2019 Headliners

[Doug85]

Really hope it's not the dreaded Banjo's. I'm still really hoping for Gaga (i stuck my flag in the ground early on this one with my tenner bet) 

Are we sure that the Spice Girls are going to be too money orientated to want to do it as their tour will go right up until that weekend with extra dates that will be added.

Can’t be Banjos Friday, Cure Saturday, Macca Sunday can it? What a spectacularly white male line up. Although that’s exactly what it was like in 2017. ?

Yeah it’s amazing that people continue to be surprised by it.

I accidentally wrote 2019 down as the date on a form the other day and I was pretty certain it was because of continued discussion of 2019 festivals so I can’t make fun really.

I hate it when I accidentally write my name as Gucci Piggy on forms. And then my mates ask me what Gucci Piggy is and I say "Oh damn I misspelled my name".

On the white male theme, I don’t think we can dismiss the Killers. They were many peoples most likely after the secret set. And surely bigger than banjos.

do we have any info leaning torwards foals headlining or playing guys? Been away for a bit 

Don't think they're anywhere near the headliner conversation to be honest.

I don't think they'll go for an all white male lineup again (I seem to remember them talking about this issue a few years ago, though having said that they did end up with an all male lineup in 2017 like you said, so I'll probably be proved wrong!).

Have to agree. As much as I dont like them there is an undeniable link there that has their hat in the ring at the very least.

They must at least be in the "we'll take them if we can't get who we were originally after" category

good thinking batman. Not only do they fit my "I reckon it's a US act", but they feel a better fit than the others I'd considered.

The Killers arent even active so I highly doubt they're a "we'll take them if we can't get anyone else" option.

[Keithy]

Didn't 2 of the Killers pull out before the short UK tour last year and declared themselves retired from touring?

The Killers still tour without them though. It's not the main one or the My Name is Earl one.

Bruce in 2018 would be the most baffling headline booking ever for Glastonbury.

The missus would drag me there as well ?

Urgh. Two one-off, never to be repeated legacy acts come back in one year? The rot set in when they let The Who return.

Is it still The Killers without Freddie Mercury and Mani?

If it's Brendan Flower and yer granny on bongos, it's The Killers.

[sisco]

Dave (who is now doing solo stuff) said he expects the killers to release a new album next year.  He is still having input in the recording and could possibly tour with them when they released it.

I’ve forgot if it was information @eFestivals but wouldn’t Bruce work? The American act? 

Bruce Springsteen

The Cure

Paul McCartney

That would be damn good.

It'd be well Lonsdale. I'd have to nick the aux cable for the Pyramid PA and play SOPHIE throughout each set to teach people a lesson.

[Mash011]

I'm organising squads to roam around the pyramid field to round up and forcibly remove all the Gammons. Beware. You're not welcome any more.

I find it just about impossible they'd have three very-heritage acts.

Kendrick instead of Bruce would fix that nicely #Praying
