Radiohead won't play the Pyramid as the PA/speaker system isn't to their liking apparently.

For what it’s worth, for a while I actually believed that one lol.

Wish they had been overruled on the screens mind

“I have heard a hot rumour that the strokes are going to be performing at glastonbury”

did we just gloss over that? He didn’t mention headlining at all.

unless he mentioned it again on the other day

We connected that with some news someone got on here that they were headlining with The Cure and Stormzy and how low the odds are which have seemed back ages ago. If they play, they headline.

No that has been mentioned, Neil mentioned it again earlier as well when I asked if he thought they'd headline

The headline bit came from someone on here who heard (prior to Macca being ruled out) that it was Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure from someone who works for a big promoter

It's been mentioned multiple times that he didn't say headlining.

Who's mam on here has heard of The Strokes then?

As DandyB said (great username by the way, gonna whack SIAS on now!), I would be very shocked if Strokes agreed to play but not headline. They pretty much only do festivals now to get the cash in, i.e. Gov Ball. I don't think they'll be arsed otherwise, I'm sure they've been asked before but not to headline and they've turned it down.

Woooo, thanks love! I didn't realised how those reactions worked so I'd been handing them out willy nilly all of yesterday like a total mum until I realised I ran out for the day.

In fact I'd much rather they followed Coachella's lead and gave Tame Impala a bump up over a washed up Strokes.

They were booked because Justin Timberlake sacked it off. And he’s well washed up.

People tried to say the same about The Cure. That the bassist’s (don’t start) daughter only said they were playing Glastonbury. They eventually saw sense though.

far fewer than have heard of stormzy, I bet.

[gigpusher]

Won't bother me at all but I was genuinely kind of shocked to hear The Strokes being talked about as a headliner.

I'm a fairly big music listener (albeit slightly above the age bracket of the demographic for The Strokes and just never realised they were that big. I was amazed that they had as many albums as I have now discovered they have. I thought 'Is This It' was it, and until yesterday Last Nite was the only track I would have remembered. I'd have thought Other Stage Headliner or even sub headliner. 

Not that that means anything I don't pretend to know how big most acts that I do like are. It does feel like they would want to announce something bigger than them.

Mine has, although she did say "They were the ones you listened to loads 20 years ago, right? Haven't heard you talk about them for a while."

[Callum_96]

Both my mum and dad have heard of the strokes and all they listen to is Dolly Parton, Rod Steward and Elton John, my old man went through a period of just randomly signing Last Nite. They have no clue who Stormzy is though...

My mum just asked if that was 'the nice boy who's married to Amanda de Cadenet?' 

[Amy Lawn]

Result from the mum test is in "No, but Diane says she does". Get lost, Diane, no one asked you.

I beg to differ, The Strokes are more 'mams' era than Stormzy.

I used to have the first album and I'm a mam's mam.

Surely everyone knows about her. It's been all over the news about her and Donald Trump

 Yeah that's why I said for Glasto to follow Coachella in giving them the 'bump up'.

The Strokes are a bit of a nonentity in 2019.

I still think it will be Liam headlining. 

[Woffy]

Peggy Gallagher has heard of the Strokes but couldn't for the life of her recall who Paul Gallagher was.
