2019 Headliners

[Matt42]

After hearing Strokes are headlining APE I’ve adopted a ‘i’l believe it when I see it’ approach to them headlining Glastonbury. 

Madonna was ruled out by Emily. But apparently teasers of a new album have been sent out to fans and tour dates to come soon. I guess we will have to wait and see

yeah, but that's because Prince was an arse and reckoned his name was being used to sell the tickets.  

 yep ... but announcement wise Tauntons the happening place  

[Drinky]

Well as no-one has any better ideas...

*McCartney and Wu Tang look likely Sat night clashes*

Woe is me. Clash gods, thou art ghastly villains!

*McCartney out of the running*

NO! Not the fookin Zzzstrokes. No chance. Get a proper headliner!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cant get super excited about Wu and the lads I'm afraid. Got the t-shirt there.

unfortunately the speed things work here ... the floodlights at the county cricket ground will sadly be as close as we get .. even Bristol can't sadly get its decent venue

People were saying the same about Sheeran a few years ago...

Jerj Ezras will headline on his next album. That’s a fact. Just make the most of life before it happens.

The future is bleak.

George Ezra is successful right now because Ed Sheeran is taking a break.

George Ezra is successful right now because Ed Sheeran became too much of a horny bastard.

On the subject of him playing this year I could see him playing a secret set. I don’t think he’l actually be on the lineup there doesn’t seem to be any space for him. Plus it would hinder his chances of headlining in the near future if he played as a sub this year.

No space for him? We've had what, 3 acts confirmed? Lol

[Gucci Piggy]

And subs are being ruled out left, right and centre.

I think Sheeran has an endless capacity to churn out his dirges though, so he'd always have the numbers. Fake voice George has got three times in five years or so. His supernova is about to implode. Good luck to him though, if people buy that shite, I'm happy to see a seemingly nice guy laugh all the way to the bank. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Whatever you think of him George Ezra would attract a big crowd. Family groups, folk looking for a bit of Pop and a sing a long. But not a headliner, an afternoon slot

If Ed Sheeran can headline with his wet shite, so can Ezra.

I'm all for Koenig and Furman getting the slot but let's not go as far as George.

[CJTM]

But, what year are The War On Drugs headlining
