CaledonianGonzo Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 This badger beef needs to get wound up and stat. Queen are one of the few acts with a banger index that rivals Macca. People will piss and moan about the Fred-deficit but even with Adam Lambert they're still in a far better position to headline a major gig than a band fronted by Julian Casablancas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same applies to Fleetwood Mac regarding Lindsey Buckingham. Still better than The Strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RarerThanDandyB Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Strokes will headline Glastonbury and it’s boiling piss. Love this thread xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarerThanDandyB Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 They have loads of tunes. The obvious FIIL, BDC, Just Like Heaven, Lovecats, Killing an Arab, The Spider-Man Song (Lullaby), Lets go to bed, Lovecats. I’m sorry most songs are tunes. They will smash it and I can’t wait. So will be Strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is a young Neil and angry Bob out there touring fit and ready for a call up just to fit that quote for the sat night. I know it's obviously definitely not Oasis, but....Oasis? Would make a fuck load more sense than them both subbing on different notes while the Strokes headline above one of them Edited January 16, 2019 by Sasperella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 So hard to keep up. I know that Emily ruled out Fleetwood Mac and Madonna. I think that leaves us with the following options, have any of these been ruled out? The Strokes Lady GaGa Rihanna Foals Tame Impala Ariana Grande Bon Jovi The 1975 The Killers Liam Gallagher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Let's just nip the Oasis thing in the bud right now. Both Liam and Noel have solo touring commitments this summer, they won't be reuniting to play Glastonbury this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcok Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 And the fact they genuinely dislike, probably go as far as hate, each other.

izzyldn Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 This headliner thread has been keeping me entertained at work for a while now! Just thought I'd pop in and add some more smoke to the Gaga fire - she's just been announced for some kind of conference (?) in Florida on May 9th, so it looks like the Vegas contract doesn't prevent her from doing other shows, elsewhere...

Going down well in a sub slot is a whole different kettle of fish to headlining successfully. They barely have anything that can be described as a hit over here. Ariana has a gig in the US on the 29th so won’t be her. 1975 are headlining Reading, Melvin wouldn’t allow it. Liam isn’t going to headline off the back of one album and his old band’s songs. I actually think The Killers is a decent shout at this point, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 People come up with some strange stuff on here. The Strokes apparently don't feel like a Glasto headliner in 2019 so instead we've come up with: - Chemical Brothers, who can't headline any major festivals these days and played the Other Stage 4 years ago. - Oasis, who haven't existed for a decade. The Strokes are a major festival headliner. They might be a shit choice and it might be disappointing, but at least they exist and headline major festivals.

I think Glastonbury would be keen to have a female headliner although I know that it's not always possible because of logistics. At this stage, Stormzy/Lady GaGa/The Cure seems a good bet.
