I was looking forward to her last time but it almost put me to sleep. In fairness I was laid at the back of the Pyramid field half asleep beforehand, so it may be unfair to blame that entirely on her.

Mrs Jass wanted to watch Kodaline I think, which was equally as dull.

Jules also has four shows over four days in Spain and never usually doubles up so I could tell you that one also.

Oh is it the same weekend? Didn't clock that

Fair enough, so TRNSMT is off the table.

They’re headlining Glastonbury, aren’t they?

Better dust off those battered Converse.

Well as it stands with our guesses/predictions I wont be at the Pyramid for any of the headliners. I think that may well be a good thing... I can go explore or catch a better act on the Other and also beat the masses to the south east corner.... 

Saying that with those headliners I think the south east corner may get busier earlier than usual. 

I've been thinking this for a while.

Last year I saw all 3 headliners on Pyramid, so would be a fun contrast to do a year where I don't see any.

I was young, skinny and cool when The Strokes were last a realistic headline proposition. Now I'm fat, old and bald.

Yeah I'm going struggle to pull off that jeans/suit jacket and t-shirt combo

I am 42 and currently wearing a pair of skinny jeans.

Albeit, a 34” waist. And they’re “Stretch”. Which I’m taking to mean as a more acceptable way of saying “Elasticated Waist”

I don’t like The Strokes.

That was pretty much the uniform of the early 00's.

Longish hair, t-shirt, suit jacket, jeans, Converse.

I'm a married father hurtling towards middle age these days, that ain't happening.

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

I'm slightly inclined to agree

Says on the eFests report that LDR is an exclusive, so I guess she's out of the running.

Tbf I thought with that booking LDR may be exclusive as she's only borderline big enough to headline it.

CG won't be subbing Saturday.

That they aren't doing it? Care to elaborate a little further..

My suggestion wasn't knocked down.

He invented mumble rap on the Prangin Out remix.

After reading "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" I went on isleofwightfestival.com. I really expected to find bigger names than Noel Gallagher, George Ezra and what might be the worst band of all time in Biffy Clyro.

That this can compete with anything is just crazy talk.

After months of discussion in here I would almost say this looks like six co-heads  Almost.

Potentially even all bigger crowds for the 'subs'. Not sure about CG though, or about him even being there. At least more interesting than Noel.

LDR was one of the main reasons my gf agreed to go this year. If bad news keep coming I guess we might be returning tickets after all...
