Like above Coldplay I can imagine just doing for almost bugger all. Then Stormzy turns to his crew and staff: “Look guys, I know you have mortgages to pay and kids to feed but it’s just so humbling to play Glastonbury I said we’d do it for free. I assume you’re all cool with that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he took 100k to play it, I'm sure even after the split his crew aren't going struggle to pay a couple of weeks of mortgage on that. They'll love it, fancy a crew that last time out were setting up a couple of nights at Brixton are suddenly setting up a Pyramid stage at 10pm...that's a buzz forget about the few thousand they're getting lol 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisque Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Even Stormzy & his crew will know what a cash storm will come from headlining the biggest festival in the country would be. His exposure on The Other stage proved that to my mom & dad. To be fair they haven’t downloaded any of his music but they know who does Big For Your Boots & they are both nearly 70.

djdavejohnson Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Fingers crossed the fact that Maroon 5 are active a mere couple of weeks before the gates open doesn't make them likely judging by that Super Bowl performance.

Put him between Stormzy and The Cure and it suddenly looks balanced... he should be given one more bash at it.. I know we've had a few people mention that they've been told by someone in the know that X is headlining so I'd take this with a big lump of salt... About 3 weeks ago a friend of mine went on a date with a guy who 'works in the music industry' and she put in our Glastonbury WhatsApp group that he told her Stevie is headlining the big G and he was pretty adamant. I didn't want to say at the time as it seemed way off (not touring / struck me as a one-off special booking you wouldn't repeat) and I thought it seemed like he was just trying to impress her or whatever. Having seen the BST rumours it does look like he's back so you never know. I'm still not buying it but thought it's worth a mention. The guy may have even got confused with BST (ridiculous, I know).

Now he's gone the rest of the babe may be more eager?! It would make it easier as one less manager to negotiate with. Neil Finn would definitely say yes and take less..

Well I for one would be absolutely made up if this is true. Wasn't at the G in 2010 and Stevie is one of my all time faves. Missed too many legends over the years, I'm hoping this actually happens!

Hugh Jass Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I just don’t see the point in having Stevie back, don’t get me wrong, he was great, but what would he do differently? Definitely one of those who only needs to do it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I suppose if they were looking for a Macca replacement then Stevie is as good as any if he’s around - wouldn’t be any different than The Who stepping in for Prince in ‘15. I don’t think it’ll be him though, if only because his set in ‘10 was so great that it’d be a shame to just repeat it nine years later.

Definitely one of those who only needs to do it once. I agree with this from a personal perspective - he was bloody brilliant last time but, with no new material, I have no need/desire to see it again. However, it was 9 years ago and in theory there should be a whole bunch of punters at this year's festival who weren't there in 2010 and so didn't get to see him then. The repeating of acts is only really an issue for those of us fortunate to have been many times. Having said that, I think it's *very* unlikely that he'll be back.

Definitely one of those who only needs to do it once. What he would do is create an unforgettable performance for tens of thousands that didnt get the opportunity to see him 9 years ago. Macca was hardly likely to bring a fresh set. Of course, as with any act at Glastonbury we have the option to vote with our feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarerThanDandyB Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Stormzy Stevie Wonder The Cure I really like that, correlates with the two males and something different each night. Would be one of the last chances to see Wonder and I would attend if something didn't blow me away on the other stages. Nice set of three should that be the trio.

I wasn’t feeling it by the Sunday in 2010, and needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Pyramid on the Sunday evening and ended up watching The Levellers on the Glade instead had an absolute ball. So hopefully he will be there this year!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
