The killers can play all 3 headline slots of it gets Childish Gambino back in the running.

Still probably wouldn't have time to play battleborn's setlist

[SwedgeAntilles]

Foals will by dying to take that sweet 'secret JP T set which means we get to headline the Pyramid next available year' slot now.

[kingcrawler]

As much as it's not a very efests lineup I think a top two of The Killers and Liam Gallagher will go down really well, better than the other nights anyway. I don't really have much desire to see them again, I don't think they'd top their 2017 set, but they're a pretty solid option in the unlikely event there's not much else on.

[Yokel Again]

I loved them when Hot Fuss came out. Enjoyed them in the JP in 04, great in 05 (who were they on before, was it White Stripes?), 2007 was a massive disappointment, and I liked Sam's Town. Of course, not helped by the fact they sounded like it was being played through a yoghurt pot on a bit of string. Think I last saw them in 2009? So maybe I'm ready to see them again.......

Still a bit underwhelmed on the whole though.

[blazingstars]

But seriously though why do we all 'know' it's The Cure and The Killers now?

As a trio it's probably on a par with AF-Metallica-Kasabian.

But Above Jay-Z, The Verve and Kings of Leon presumably?

[Razza_bezza]

Only SR on the lineup update, i thought we were getting a full blown announcement today?

Probably similar, I'm thinking in terms of size and public perception rather than quality of output.

Without hindsight, surely not. That was very strong at the time.

Glastonbury 2019, featuring the headliners from all your favourite midsized festivals such as Wireless, Latitude and Bestival.

This is what happens when you put all your eggs in one McCartney shaped basket.

Don't think so.  That's not really a new development.

Pretty sure @eFestivals had been waiting for additional info to corroborate what at this stage is very old info; they've never been TBC or anything.

Anyway, looks like Neiler has hit himself a 2 fer 1 - good stuff.

Their clues are...?

2001 and 2007. I reckon it's The Killers (formed in 01) and Flo (in 07). Their previous clues turned out to be accurate (I think dates referencing Chems and Iggy Pop).

We don't 'know' anything for sure until the poster drops but if Neil is hearing from sources solid enough that he's posting about it in hear then it's worth listening to.

Got a pal who works for a Country music magazine and he's had pretty general emails saying The Killers & The Cure complete Glastonbury headliners. Could be completely coincidental but he's got these this morning just as Neil says something is coming

emails from who?

 

worth remembering that a "music industry" magazine said it was McCartney, with Liam on Friday, so I'm not exactly putting too much faith in whatever rumours are floating around the magazine publishing industry in general.

I only mentioned it as I thought it was generally regarded as a low point - and was the year when the festival actually failed to sell out until the last minute!

Indeed, if ever there was a song to make you sit down in a bar it would be that one.

Culchies absolutely lap it up. Music for men in Subaru jackets with enormous hands like shovels and an unfeasible amount of dirt under their finger nails.

I didn’t think The Nal needed a troll account outside of his main one.

[blazingstars]

Okay cool. This is my first year using this forum so I'm not sure how often he is right but sounds good

probably more due to the dogshit undercard, dreadful weather the previous year, and financial crisis TBF

And the person signing the cheques is as boring as sliced pan.

I didn't watch any in 2015 & 2016. Much as we all say it's hot about the headliners, I did miss not having anyone I wanted to see.

I'm more than happy with my current headline options as (probably, TBC) Chemical Brothers on Saturday night and Janelle Monae on Sunday. Friday will either be a matter of getting over to the naughty corner early to avoid the rush or there'll be something else on somewhere that has yet to be announced. I'm set. It's all good.

Of course it will.

The general public is the majority of folk at the end of the house party screaming Mr Brightside and Wonderwall while throwing beer over themselves like its summer '18. eFests is the kid who got dragged along by a mate but spent the night in the garden wearing a Radiohead shirt and smoking.

How are the Chems now Sat night? Last I heard was the Eden Project Friday info.

I may have just made that up in my head in all honesty

Let it never be forgotten that The Fratellis sub-headlined the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury.

Never forget.
