2019 Headliners

[yosoyyoberdi]

The Strokes on the pyramid would be great, specially if they get rid of The Cure for them, but not gonna happen.

I've just been told by someone "in the know"(he works at one of the largest promoters in the country) that the headliners are Stormzy, The Cure and... The Strokes. I'm not buying it, but thought I'd put it on here anyway. 

Has he been right before? Seems more and more realistic. I think I want it too much but did he say anything else? The Strokes are around, not played before which is what Eavis originally said could be an exclusive which Glastonbury love to find. I'm convinced.

I'd much prefer The Strokes to The Cure...

Me too. 

Who would get the bigger crowd at Pyramid?

Personally think The Strokes would.

The Roses wanted to chase the cash instead.

Fuck 'em.

If The Strokes played Last Night first, there'd be 22 people left for the rest of their set. 21 of those would leave once they'd done New York City Cops.

It'd just be me waiting for Juicebox.

I always thought that was by Weezer.

And those waiting for Reptilia, Is This It, Someday, Hard to Explain etc? They've got a fair few very well-known, very recognisable songs, albeit largely off their debut album (which is incredible). This is no different to making the equivalent joke about The Cure with Friday I'm in Love (with Boys Don't Cry as the second one).

I love that song by The Cure... you know... the one that goes:

"Sunday Monday happy days, Tuesday Wednesday happy days Thursday Friday happy days. Saturday what a day. Groovin all week with you"

[CaledonianGonzo]

I dunno if they're that similar a proposition really and a bit apples and oranges, so difficult to really compare 

So using Hyde Park ticket sales as a metric seems reasonable, and on that measure the prize goes to Bob and the lads.

Pictures of You is getting played on the Pyramid next year, you guys can either sod off or join me in crying me eyes out to it, your choice.

One of the greatest gigs I've been to was The Strokes at the Barrowlands in 2001. A real 'I was there' moment. But there's no way they're Glastonbury headliner material. They could headline The Other or sub the Pyramid but I don't see them taking either slot if they're getting headline slots offered to them by the likes of BBK

So memorable you got the year wrong? ?

Quote

Ha! No war! The only reason I know is that I was at the Brixton gig a few days later. Touty ticket outside for £40 (Daylight robbery on my part!) and felt pretty special. The thing that hurt the Strokes biggest was the break after Angles. First Impression was bloody decent in my opinion and Angles was better than Be Here Now in my opinion. The split after just didn't have the same sense of mystery that some have had. No chance of headlining Pyramid, but surely could headline Other.

I don't know how I managed to quote myself before my reply was up. Impressive.
