2019 Headliners

[mufcok]

He said something on Talksport about wanting that slot didn't he because he wants to 'enjoy' the rest of the weekend? I could see him doing it hut as mentioned above, the crowd could get daft at that time

Ah OK, though looking at that 'next year' is very explicit compared to the rest of it that seems to be talking about the here and now. We shall see before long.

Yeah if they're talking about 2019 for Noel it seems like a weird way of putting it. Would make much more sense to say "Noel Gallagher is playing, too" or something. Sounds like 2020 to me.

That's the one, you not heard it?

I tend to agree that Noel is 2020 as in the full dicussion when 'next year' was mentioned it was said that, for example, Fleetwood Mac were not this year.

Aye. I think it's just as things are termed. He did say on radio he'd probably be put 4th down but the slot he'd like is opening Other so if they can get someone his size opening that then fair. Tbh the only thing stopping from being down to the Mancis etc size that would get that now is who he is. But I imagine Noel and Liam the same day would also create great publicity for the fest.

Yes this was my exact thinking. Or “Noel Gallagher is also playing next year” unless they were just typing fast and missed out an “also”

[Gucci Piggy]

If Noel Gallagher genuinely does want to play at 11am and they think the Other Stage would be too crowded then just do it on the Pyramid instead.

Good shout

I've never seen any act pack out that field for the other opening slot and ive seen quite a few since 2002 .... maybe he would fill it... but I don't think so 

[kalifire]

More often than not, I’ve dragged myself out of my tent and thought ‘bollocks, I’ve missed it’. 

[The Red Telephone]

I see your Don’t Back In Langer and raise you a WonderWaugh.

[Gucci Piggy]

If I sleep through Car Seat Headrest playing a 2 minute walk from my tent I bet a shit load of people who are casually interested in Noel Gallagher would either be too dead or not bother getting up at 11am to see him.

This deserves all the upvotes ever. 

(Although I have none - will sort it tomorrow)

[Bradders]

That quote is either terribly worded or, much more likely, about 2020. Also the thing about playing Friday morning was a joke/messing about. I’m sure he won’t be there next year.

This isn't James or the Kaiser Chiefs though. This is one of the main guys from one of the biggest British bands of all time, playing their songs, with his brother on site too and the inevitable reunion rumours that'll bring.

It would be heaving beyond breaking point.

Or could it be about ego ? Rather than have to play a lesser slot on the pyramid he can say he got to choose his own ?

[Keithy]

Other stage is about 40,000 - 45,000 capacity IIRC. With 135,000 public tickets, that's quite a proportion of the site who'd need to drag their asses out of their tents for 11am after the traditional heavy Thursday night to fill the field. Not saying he wouldn't fill it but I think there would be quite a proportion who'd fall into my category of 'if I've got up in time, had a cuppa, breakfast, had a poo, sorted myself out, then I'll go down and see him'.

I've only ever made one Friday opener and that was James...where we all stood around and watched a load of wood chippings be laid for about 30 minutes.

Nah he meant so he could get pissed the rest of the weekend, pretty common thing for bands I know who’ve played Glasto to say.

[Divein]

 

All this talk of Noel and his birds in that opening slot has got me thinking back to how I've been feeling during past openers and how I might feel on Friday morning next year.

 

It's making me shudder.

Is he ? Admittedly I'm not an Oasis fan but I would have put them below Blur and Pulp from the same era let alone all time. Can you compare them to Queen, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zep ?

[Bradders]

I can tell already I’m going to be fighting a losing battle with “Noel Gallagher is not playing Glasto 2019”.

Oasis are streets ahead of Blur and Pulp in terms of the size. I'd put them on a par if not higher than Led Zep and Floyd.

I guess I just don't get them. I'd say I need to give them another listen but meh, life's too short. It would be interesting to see if people are still talking about them in forty years though. Unlikely I'll get to find out tbf.

[priest17]

Get Noel playing 11am other, get Liam on the pyramid doing Definitly Maybe Classical.

Well yeah they suck but they're still the biggest band of the past several decades.
