2019 Headliners

[metallimuse]

Agreed on Push The Button, Round Round a banger as well and I really like In The Middle ?.

Too Lost In You with Keisha’s “Baby baby BAAAAABY” middle eight? Spine tingling ?, I said it.

I'll bang anyone out who says Push the Button isn't the best Sugababes song.

 

Who wants some?

You’re on, but only if we’re both arrested afterwards and the reason for the fight starting is read out in court.

[eFestivals]

can you please cut the off-topic?

Thanks.

I still think Gaga is most likely. The lack of solid gossip tends to point to an overseas act, her residency finishes just before Glastonbury. I still think her June-Oct gap is going to be a European tour to replace her cancelled one. And she has an album out this year.

Tour and Glastonbury announced mid Feb, new album in the summer. That's my bet.

The idea of being off my chump with something like Telephone shaking the earth to its very foundations courtesy of the Pyramid sound system is a very pleasant one.

I agree. I think its gotta be Gaga.

Glasto as a one off makes no sense, a tour would give justification for getting a whole new show. However doesn't the residency come with some sort of restriction on other gigs, so that it retains its sense of exclusivity?

I've mentioned Bon Jovi a few times.

It didn't go down too well.

I personally think Bon Jovi would be a great booking. They have a huge back catalogue of solid singalong classics. They are ridiculously professional as a feel good live act. No, they are not to everyone's taste but they would be well suited to a late afternoon slot. It would have to be the Pyramid. Their last tour was one of the most profitable ever (yes, I read those industry lists too) so Pyramid or nothing. Cetainly a lot more fun than The Cure.

On local radio tonight they had a Glastonbury story about a major female solo artist being announced. I hadn’t heard the Janet Jackson stuff so for a few moments I was very excited for Gaga - would be epic if she was announced.

Any reasons why Glastonbury wouldn't host The Who?

Just seen they're touring in July and have their first new album for 13 years being released later this year.

I'm still hoping for Lady Gaga and RuPaul!

If nothing else, because they've done it twice, one of them very recently.

Also it doesn't help that their last performance wasn't especially well received, including apparently by the band themselves.

[twirlygirl]

Cheers, they're not my cuppa but certainly still popping up on the radar. 

As is Cher! ?

The residency restrictions are a bit unknown. People like Celine Dion had them, Britney didnt. Others have and haven't. 

Relatively speaking (compared to other residencies) Gaga doesn't actually have that many Vegas dates and she is doing other events (albeit corporate gigs).

My hunch is the Vegas residency will be like Coachella's restrictions - play no public shows in the US for a period of months. Would be surprised if the contact covers Europe too.

As her Vegas residency goes up to November, there's always the possibility the album is this autumn, and the tour and festival circuit is 2020.

I'm still here throwing my weight firmly behind the Gaga, so that all the rest of the forum will have to grovel and bow down to me as the all seeing eye who never silenced from speaking the truth, even when hope was dullest.

This will look so silly when the Sugababes are announced as headliner.

Remember how ME personally drove The Killers to the JP tent for their performance then watched them in 2017?.... It was pencilled in back then...now sealed...

America act hence the lack of concrete evidence but I reckon (and hoping( they are on...

The Killers are never gonna headline Glastonbury again.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Huge self-own from Eavis not going to see Chic.

[Gnomicide]

He made the right decision. Imagine choosing to watch Chic play their 232nd festival set of the year ahead of that Killers set.

Well that's factually incorrect ;).

I completely agree. Just imagine singing along to Bon Jovi then singing (droning) to The Cure. I won't be completely devastated if they're not there though, as I'm already seeing them in June. 

I like this idea of an American headliner, Gaga, Killers, whoever.

You think Eavis spends his summer going round other festivals?

I once bumped into Emily at V festival.  

[chatty]

Im glad the talk has deviated back down to The Killers and Lady Gaga. Trying to give myself the lowest exoectations I can cause if I start building ny hopes uo for Fleetwood Mac and then one of the forementioned is announced then Im gonna be gutted. That said Wu Tang is a solid back up for any disappointing announcements as they come. 

How did we end up back on Madonna and Fleetwood Mac etc after ruling them out months ago. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Another potential name to thrown back in the mix?
