billum Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Any chance AM were being asked to do Friday headline before Stormzy was confirmed for the slot? (Desperate for any configuration of the rumour bits that inevitably concludes Macca's still in the frame) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 1 hour ago, eFestivals said: Arctic Monkeys. The info has come thru a route that definitely has connections, but whether or not the info is correct i can't say. PS: to be clear, the info was they were asked, not what answer they've given (or even if they've given one, yet). If they are asked I can't see it being a no. 1 hour ago, sisco said: Suppose it was always going to be someone like The Arctic Monkeys if they needed to replace (I know it’s not really replacing) Macca. I know Glastonbury sells out but it also has that reputation of being the best festival in the world. Throwing someone like Mumfords, Florence, Pink or whoever else to replace him would make this year seem a very week trio. Arctic Monkeys, Bruce Springsteen... ermm I’m struggling after that who make it fairly like for like in terms of size. So so gutted if it’s true though Stormzy, The Cure and AM is stronger than those two with FATM...that would look pretty weak although I'd rather Florence. 57 minutes ago, Mardy said: Metallica was a straight out genius booking. The amount of PR that Glastonbury got in places that never normally show interest, and the amount of exposure Metallica got in places that normally pay no attention to them - a phenomenally smart move by both sides Works well when you book an act in that genre for that size...there wasn't much difference I don't think tbh between them and Muse last time.

mufcok Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Maybe AM are one of the 2 confirmed for 2020, Macca pulls out for whatever reason and they're then asked to do 2019 instead.. and say no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamMcMillen Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 So you’re telling me Macca pulls out so they ask AM and they so no, THEN one of either Swift or Gaga accept it? Not buying it. It’s either still Macca, an English act or they’re bumping up LG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
