I think your parents are probably in the minority there tbf. My seven year old sons fav band is Led Zeppelin just of listing to the Immigrant Song on Thor. They also have mega famous songs in Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, Rock N Roll, Misty Mountain Hop, Communication Breakdown, When The Levee Breaks, not mentioning Stairway to Heaven which has an argument for the most famous song of all time. Im being mirked here right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hate The Killers and basically they stopped getting on my nerves because of how irrelevant they became yet somehow the c**ts have managed to push themselves into the mix for headlining a major festivalnin 2019. The mind boggles. Calling the band The Killers and having a lead singer called Brandan Flowers ffs. The only killing these lot do is is the killing of brainwaves when you listen to their music. Are we human or are we dancer? That doesnt even make sense you spazzy pretencious w*nker. Shit lyrics by a shit writer sang by a shit singer in a shit band. Shit song, shit album. From all the bands that came out around 2000-2005 how come these w*nkstains of humanity are still in some sort of prime position, they should have been bottled out of the first pub they played as teenagers and that would have been the end of it. Humanity spared some atroucious crap for a couple of decades. Job done. But no, people started getting some sort of conscience around that time period. What has beeing nice got us? Say what you will about KOL but at least they had three decent albums before they went ro shit, three more than The Fucking Killers. KOL would be shite headliners in 2019 but if they played one song from. Their forat three albums then they would at least play a set better than The Killers by one song. Fuck my life. I guess it could have been Kaiser Chiefs. Being stuck with the second worse band is still better than being stuck with the first. Headlining it. Again. Is right.

strummer77 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) The Killers are clearly headliner sized, will go down really well and probably deliver a solid headline set that sends most onlookers into the night really happy. As far as headlining a popular music festival goes, they’re still a safe and solid choice. The disappointment really is that for us on the forum they’re a boring choice and a bit naff. I won’t be watching but it’s an understandable mainstream choice in my opinion with what’s on offer and the Stormzy ‘risk’ they’ve taken with the mainstream rock lot.

Anarion Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 9 hours ago, lighthouse said: The Cure isn't really a jump and flail around kind of band. (Thank god!) A Forest is always a huge, unbeatable live moment. Collective chills whenever that bass comes up. Personally I love the climax of From The End Of The Deep Green Sea or Disintegration. Immense. These epics are the exact opposite of dull. Thanks! I enjoy importing setlists from setlist.fm to Spotify. Any particular Cure-list you can recommend?

Like from what we know it’s lack lustre and abit embarrassing to say there’s been 2 years and most of the big acts played 2017 on smaller stages ? There's no "lack of announcements" the amount they've announced so far is consistent with most years recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet every year the impatience grows exponentially. With the current underwhelming prospect of The Killers as the last headliner I can now patiently wait for the non Pyramid line up to start appearing next month. Whilst there does appear to be a dearth of interesting 'headliners' about this year, there are loads of decent acts around below that level. I have genuinely good feeling about the strength of the 'undercard' this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm pretty unhyped about the rumoured headliners this year (across most stages, although we've still got tons to come) but getting pretty excited about some of the possible undercard acts. Also hoping for some of those 'well I wasn't expecting that' acts to pop up on the lineup also - they're always fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
