The mentions on the radio didn't say anything about headlining, and I reckon that would have been included if they were. Sure, if Emily ruled The Strokes out it’d be fair enough, not playing. And we went over with The Cure that people outside of music forums talk about acts playing and headlining festivals interchangeably without zeroing in on the difference. It’s a bit strange to think that “so and so is playing this festival” always means ‘not headlining’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they were headlining I'd have expected that to have been part of what Grim Nickshaw heard, and then he'd have likely repeated it in at least one of the times he mentioned them. I might be wrong, but that's my take on it. They're not really a headliner-sized band for Glastonbury after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that he mentioned them playing makes it less likely that they are headlining rather than more likely. The headliners are going to be a big announcement not Nick Grimshaw casually dropping it during his show. They could be sub-headliners maybe even Other stage headliners but I just don't see a Radio 1 DJ being allowed to make an off the cuff remark about a Pyramid headliner.

Seems a bit of a stretch that a band that would headline that would headline Glastonbury as well.

priest17 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 The Strokes seems like a much better prospect if the pyramid stage was just that APE line-up that day. Wouldn't have to bother with any of that wandering round I'm usually subjected to, see how the other half live (until headliner time when I wander off to Wu) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisthesam Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Must say the APE Strokes day is pretty tasty. Also wouldn't mind going to Foals at Ally Pally too. Do I hold out? Chances of both being at Glastonbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 most people aren't OCD festival obsessed nerds so don't differentiate between "headlining" and "playing". to say that not using the term "headlining" means anything is frankly laughable.

thrillhouse188 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I only joined this forum recently, before stepping foot in here if you'd have told me The Strokes are playing I'd have assumed headlining, and been surprised at the suggestion they'd play any lower. I'm certainly not the most informed with festival line ups, but maybe the general public would also still hold them to that regard, and so 90% of festival goers wouldn't bat an eyelid at them headlining? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's very likely to have good info too. But he didn't say 'headlining', and I reckon he would have if that's what he'd been told, and I reckon he would have been told that if they were. People don't tend to gossip about headliners without including the fact they they're headliners. That's how it works (says the guy sat here trading on gossip for the last 20 years!).
