eFestivals Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 2 minutes ago, sisco said: Yeah I do appreciate it, but it’d still surprise me if at least 3 of their headliners play prominent spots at the same festival. It wouldn't me. The nature of things is that there's only so many bands to go round, and with Glastonbury having such a big line-up it's impossible not to have a lot of acts at both. And if APE wants exclusive that's going to cost them more to book that act - which is probably pretty risky when they couldn't sell out many of last year's shows when there wasn't the competition of Glastonbury.

mufcok Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm gonna go APE if they're announced for that, 100%. If they do end up doing Glastonbury then it'll be a big added bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if anything it’s ruled out the chances of that. I would say the headline slot is still on the table. It’s quite clear that all six APE headliners aren’t the same size as one another - just like The Killers and Solange aren’t equal headliners, nor are Florence and whoever else is headlining Boardmasters this year - so any equations like ‘APE headliner equals Pyramid sub’ is daft. Also if Glastonbury stops booking headliners that are doing any festival less than about 60k then it’ll run out of headliners pretty fast.

Not sure if it’s been discussed, but is there no chance Bon Iver could be headlining? Arguably much bigger than most mentioned. Would be divisive I’m sure, but perfect headliner for me! No chance Bon Ivor’s headlining. At least people have actually heard of The Strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have ruled it out in other years, if there were more household names either side. A little like Arcade Fire. Huge cult following, but not as well known to the masses. Other headliner I could see, but not available I think as stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one I could see do it eventually, it'd be a huge cultural event similar to Jay-Z if they do ever get him, I think he'd be up for it too. Probably not in the same year as Stormzy though.

Dunno if your lurking has included the Bon Iver thread but there's an on-going dream from some of us here of Bon Iver headlining the Other Stage at some point. When they announced gigs this summer it looked possible (just like it did 2 years ago) but died with a US announcement. There's also the feeling they've either outgrown it or perhaps wouldn't accept it as they're headlining (or at least playing main stage) at plenty of other festivals. Whatever slot though, I'd love to see Bon Iver at Glastonbury. It'll happen again one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddRon Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Still crossing fingers that it is The Strokes but the only APE date they can do is the 25th of May( slap bang in middle of exams for me,fantastic) then they head back to USA early June and then Europe mid July so unless they're doing shows inbetween glasto and the european festivals already announced in mid July, it doesn't seem likely that they'd do three trips to Europe, sorry this is a really convulted way of saying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. For me it went downhill a lot sooner. The first setback was obviously the stage invader and momentarily not knowing if Ye was gonna return, then the run of Cruel Summer songs lost a lot of people... The set after Justin Vernon left - apart from the blackout and uncertainty for the crane - was a really fantastic barrage of tunes looking back but I was kinda already dejected about the whole thing by then.

Matt42 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I actually thought Kanye killed it. I was really surprised by the negative reaction. Where I stood it was going off.

I really can't see The Strokes accepting a sub slot at Glastonbury if they're headlining everywhere else they play If they are headlining APE, that's accepting their status here isn't strictly headlining major UK Festivals anymore.

I wasn't even in the inner circle but the crowd were with him all the way through where I was. The rest of my group were stood further back and had people just streaming past them to leave for most of it; then I was in that situation for the bit of Radiohead I saw in 2017 and that experience really does make it look like the band is dying up there.

StevieGed Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Caught the 1975 in Manchester last night and I thought they were great again. Stage set up and visuals were one of the best I’ve seen, and they threw a good party. Going to see how they go down at Leeds in the summer headlining but I think they’d do a pretty good job topping the pyramid one night in the years to come. Love it if we made it is a tune.

Its the biggest exodus Ive seen on the Pyramid. It was so bad at one point I genuinely though there would be no one left by the end. Bigger than Oasis in 04, Gorillaz in 2010 and Radiohead in 2017 (wasn't there going by reports). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis were lackluster in '04 but I don't recall people leaving at all. It just seemed like we were waiting for it to get better. Gorillaz was definitely exodus-laden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
