Placid just asked in group chat what happened to Alabama Shakes and I said they're gonna headline WH after dental predicting it for years like Lana Del Rey at Latitude.

charliejones Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Possibility of The Cure being ruled out of headlining this year? Looking at Rock Werchters line up, they're playing the Friday (27th) there. Could this be all hope gone? However, Janelle Monae also playing that day, so maybe they're booked there for a reason?

This musical regression is fucked up. It's like the Beatles are morphing into a skiffle band like Benjamin Button. George Ezra pretty much is fucking George Formby.

y0ungtitan Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm sure they could probably do both but I kinda feel that JC and the lads being announced for APE takes them out of contention for Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 If it doesnt then it's a sign that they were relying on Macca and then panicked and took whoever they could get when he sacked it off. APE is basically Lovebox on steroids right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 If The Strokes aren't billed as UK festival exclusives at All Points East, then they're pretty much nailed on for Glastonbury aren't they? Surely theres nowhere else in the UK left for them to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I’ve seen it used at APE was The National, but I’m p sure Nick Cave and Bjork didn’t end up elsewhere, and it looks unlikely that Bon Iver will either.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Is there a contingency cheque book scenario where the festival ups the offer to a desired act if they've been left in the lurch by someone else? Can they double their offer to say, Madonna, if Macca bails? Or offer to make a sizable donation to her Malawi charity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they just get on the red phone to Chris Martin who does it for peanuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Then they'd need to find someone else for 2020. Just kicks the can down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash's hat Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Madonna has recently signed up with same pr company as janelle monae, don't know if that could have changed things with regards Madge changing mind to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecretingredientiscrime Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 They may well have had a headliner booked all along and we simply don’t know who it is rather than contigencies etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead being there in 2016 = Radiohead in 2017). Or he was never lined up at all and it was misinformation like we’ve also had a lot of. Likewise for The Strokes gossip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't think I've seen them cos I was away, but were there not some tweets about Macca being in the picture and then falling through - then being replaced by a solo artiste?

Yeah something about him falling through and the replacement being a solo artist who they suspected some people wouldn’t be a big fan of. Sounds like a pop star/non-traditional guitar act to me.

FloorFiller Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yeah sounds like somebody who was probably expected to ask for big bucks. Guess it just depends on how much Glastonbury pride themselves on their yearly marquee names or if they’d rather save the cash and go elsewhere, or just how much this solo act was asking for. Madge = a shitload. Gaga = not so much I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
