i got the text any optimist has been dreading this morning, my cousin whose band is signed to island records said the info is definitely 

fri - stormzy

sat - paul mc

sunday - the cure

and LG subbing one of them, is strange for them all to be confirmed so early though

Thanks. Good to have more confirmation and that we're not being led astray.

Guess when you consider they've been working on these headliners for a long time - and they're all British names - it's not too early to be sorted.

either that, or we're all believing the same wrong stuff.

Yeah, I don't think it's odd, particularly with a fallow year.

Please let us have The Chemical Brothers on the other or Hot Chip headlining anywhere on the Sunday.

The Cure booking makes zero appeal to me.

Would I be foolish in expecting them to have the smallest crowd of the 3 headliners?

[Yokel Again]

Aren't Liam and Stormzy sort of mates?

Yeah it's very possible. Obviously Macca will have the biggest, Stormzy will probably depend on how successful his new album is.

I think Stormzy will but neither will come close to Macca’s.

With the capacity bump on Sunday, unlikely.

Stormy Z will have the smallest, I'd imagine.

It's more than likely that i'm blinded by my pessimism for The Cure.

I think I might be one of the few who is pretty happy with this trio. I'd quite like to see a bit of Stormzy, but will almost definitely be led elsewhere by what's on West Holts/Other/Park. Will likely watch Macca, although again the same could apply (assuming it's a long set I'll at least catch the start, I think). And I'd love to see The Cure smash Glasto and prove the doubters wrong. Either way, they're a great Sunday headliner for me - that's the day I most often struggle for a big finale and I'm out of energy by then so a contemplative set with a few hits for a little boogie would do me.

I hope LG will be subbing Stormzy then I will probably give that stage a swerve on that night, although my daughter might have other ideas. 

I love The Cure, so will be there for that...and can’t not see Macca just because, well, it’s Paul McCartney...he used to be in the Beatles and everything!

Can't see Liam subbing anyone other than Macca tbh.  No real rationale for him subbing Stormzy IMO

I wouldn't say it's strange, I'm sure from the festivals point of view they'd rather that than it dragging on and on

Why?

Technically wrong thread I know but @eFestivals anything to suggest Chemical Brothers for 2019 at all, besides the 'play every 4 years' pattern? Already fretting over Saturday/Sunday clashes..

I've heard nothing, but that doesn't mean anything either way. Either i hear stuff or I don't.

[kalifire]

The Cure playing on Sunday makes more sense than them playing on Saturday, but I still can’t picture Macca anywhere other than Sunday night. It’s an odd coupling whichever way around you put them. Makes Stormzy look quite token. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Whilst I have no reason to doubt the guy with the day information, The Cure don't seem like a very "local-friendly" act for a Sunday which is the direction that the festival seems to have taken in recent years. McCartney would seem to logical choice for Sunday but I guess it depends on availability.

[JoeyT]

Could Massive Attack be back for another headline slot on the Other? They're active next year with the Mezzanine dates albeit those finish in March.

[mufcok]

That's a pretty strong set of headliners from where I'm sitting. Interesting to see how the Other stage headliners pan out

I think knowing TCB are there, or a late reprise of Gaga, would make my festival for me. I'd be happy regardless and the old "plenty other stuff to do" cliche and all that, but I need to make up for my utter stupidity of missing TCB... TWICE.

The Chems are likely to be there as they have a new album coming and it’s the easiest booking the festival can make since the band’s manager lives at Worthy Farm.

Also I don’t understand why missing the Chemical Brothers is a regret when it happens every four years. You could miss them next year and still be fine to see them again at some point.

No chance of finding out which day he’s playing then?
