Ol' Georgy Ezra ain't so bad 

Proclaim that loudly in the JS Stand one Saturday and then get back and let us know how it was received.

There are many things my mother in law and I don't agree on but George Ezra is probably top of the list.

Pop shite. 

 

 

In total agreement with your pillow talk.

When I got married I welcomed song requests for the day and the evening disco. My aunt requested Budapest, I almost uninvited her.

[Riggins]

Ezra is a festival friend isn't he, so I'd imagine he'll be around for a big sing-a-long on the Pyramid. I saw him before an XX secret set on BBC Intro years ago, so he feels like the type of 'he started at the bottom' type story.

The Strokes will 100% play a major UK festival of some sorts as part of the European part of their '2019 Global Comeback', be bizarre if they didn't. Just whether that's gonna be Glastonbury or not...

If we end up with Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure,  I honestly think it could be argued that IOW has a better set of headliners. 

All good for us chumps in club resale though I guess

[Yokel Again]

I am a music snob and I like George Ezra - good pop tunes!

I'm not sure it's that particular hill I want to die on

Whoever argues that should be prepared to be laughed at for the rest of their days.

Other than Glastonbury where else could they go?

Reading/Leeds, IOW, Latitude have all announced. They're not doing Download. The likes of Kendall would be too small for them. APE doesn't fit their schedule. BST are unlikely to have them back after last time...

Only viable alternatives could be Rize (if that's even still a thing), TRNSMT (which wouldn't stop them playing elsewhere) or a one off gig somewhere like Finsbury Park.

Agreed, TRNSMT seems the only other viable option but as you say that wouldn't stop anything unless they try tie them down to UK exclusive.

The more I think about it as they drip feed these European festival headline slots, I can't see them taking anything other than a Pyramid headline slot.

Why would bst not want them back? Didn’t they have to reduce tickets to £2.50. I’m kinda worried it’s gonna be like arctic monkeys last year where trnsmt ended up being the only uk festival they did

Several bits of info pointing to them doing APE, with some of them even coming after it became apparent it wouldn't fit in with their tour schedule.

Think it's Glasto plus either APE or nothing else.

[Gucci Piggy]

And they're ruled out of TRNSMT by @Mezhyp1

They wouldn't have them back because they sold so poorly they were effectively giving tickets away just to fill the venue. I think BST has shifted towards things that are guaranteed to sell - heritage rock acts and pop superstars.

You know there’s a good chance two of IoW’s headliners will be subbing Glasto / headlining Other this year, and the other one subbed in 2017? Ffs

[thrillhouse188]

Hold up, surely The 1975 aren't headlining R+L and subbing Glastonbury, has that ever happened before? 

[Gucci Piggy]

Imagine thinking Noel Gallagher, George Ezra and Biffy Clyro is a better trio than anything, never mind one involving The Cure.

I'll give it a listen now.

Someone on Twitter replied to the thingy saying it's 75 subbing The Cure on Sunday 100%.

Did they? I need to pay more attention.

Foals 2016, co-headline tho.

Not to be rude but was this also the same user who had them rumoured for latitude?

[Hugh Jass]

Something I'd forgotten about that BST gig was that I'd picked up a load of tickets for £2.50 then I actually won another 4 in a radio competition (my suspicion was that there were a few winners that day). Sold the four to a tout for about 30 quid, which paid for my ticket and beer that night.

Ah okay, although to me co-headline is just a marketing term for "we couldn't get a proper headliner, so have 2 subs instead"

Wouldn't APE involve them coming over to play then going back to America?

Yeah, that seems odd to me. See whenever they drop the Saturday lineup I guess though
