With the new mooted Killers / Cure headline thinking, are we now suggesting that the Strokes rumours were dud?  Or are we looking at a secret set / Other headliner?

I’ll definitely take the strokes over the streets for other headliners. I don’t think anything else has been mentioned about the strokes the  past couple of weeks. 

I may be spending every night at the other stage if it  ends up being tame impala, chemical brothers and the strokes. That’d be a first.

I think we’ve got all three Other headliners predicted with Tame Impala, The Streets and Chems. Still think the secret set is going to be Muse but might be wrong.

Wembley stadium? Are they that big here? I thought their fans tended to be ones that never go to concerts?

They played the O2 arena last year around October time and I heard on Radio 1 that they were the first band ever to have sold out a UK arena without visiting and playing here previously.

Enough of them go to shift 80,000 tickets.

They have a big following on twitter but that usually is from 10 year old kids who send death threats to other users when they aren’t in school.

unless I’m seriously out of touch they aint selling 80k tickets in the UK

Well damn. I just assumed that their fans here don’t tend to be concert goers.

As mentioned above, they sold out an arena tour ridiculously quickly this year. They'll sell it out no worries.

On a side note i’m surprised coachella has beaten glastonbury to putting K Pop Acts on the lineup. I think that it’s definitely within the festivals moto to represent the global music scene.

However, if what you’ve said is true and some of these K Pop acts can shift 80k tickets they might not be within Glastonbury’s reach. Also if they demanded a prominent slot I reckon it wouldn’t exactly work.

The Coachella demographic is much younger and trendier than Glastonbury. Doubt you’ll see a headline trio completely bereft of rock bands at Glastonbury for a couple of decades at least.

Surely all the same arguments against the likes of the Spice Girls and X factor winners are even stronger against acts like that playing Glastonbury, with the major demographic issue added to the mix too.

Can’t see muse doing a secret set, unless someone has some info of course!  I had thought biffy clyro doing their unplugged thingy they have been promoting over the winter might make an appearance.

Yeah you’re right. The important factor is crossover. It’s fine for acts to be big with a younger demographic and play glastonbury, but there must be some crossover with the glastonbury crowd.

I reckon Little Mix would probably go down well at Glastonbury but no other X Factor winner. I highly doubt it would happen though. 

What I mean is booking a k Pop act low down on the lineup would be a nice touch and good fun. But it seems that a lot of K Pop Acts are large ticket sellers so they probably wouldn’t want a low slot. Despite the fact that if they did get a big slot it would probably tank due to very little crossover with the glastonbury crowd. Of course, they wouldn’t know that though.

Maybe... his performances over the last 2 years have made people more interested. He was good in 2017 but the crowd was nothing special. Was very good at Isle of wight last year subbing depeche mode.

Cant see him pulling a bigger crowd that the Killers... and Kylie being on the legend slot will be rammed. 

I will say though I would be happy to see Liam play again he was very good at Isle of wight last year. 

He had probably the biggest non headliner crowd in 2017, more people there on the Other than the Pyramid subs. People did this last time where they underestimated his pulling power but much the same I think he'll outdo expectations again. I wouldnt be surprised if he did more than Stormzy tbh. I dont think either The Killers or The Cure will do a lot more either if that is indeed the line-up.

Liam is more popular in this country than all three headliners, mainly due to Oasis but that doesnt really matter because its still a factor as to why he can.

Dammit I got very excited then but agree, Muse aren't playing at all, only day they are free is 28th and I just don't see them coming back to do a secret set when they are in with a shout of being one of the three headliners next year.

Doubt you would get a manufactured K-Pop taking the risk but for an indie band like Hyukoh or similar I could see it happening

Oh you bet they do go to concerts. And not just that - they buy those overpriced lightbulbs that flash during the show and tons and tons of other merch. I even read they had to put extra restrictions on as to how early you can come to the venue because people would camp there for days ahead.

And though they need to shift 80,000 tickets, first you need to divide it by two because most of the fans will need to bring along a parent. And second they only have two European shows announced so far which could get a lot of international fans (I hate to admit it but me inclusive) to come over.

K-pop at Glasto and other major festival is bound to happen at some point, probably just not this year.

Come to think of it, I think they might actually be willing to get low spot with only a couple of songs and not a full show just so that they can boast that they played at Glastonbury and cemented K-pop, Korean artists and non-English non-Spanish speakers in general in the public opinion.

Last week BTS flew all the way from Korea to the Grammys just to pose on the red carpet and sing along to Dolly Parton and it was by far the most tweeted about moment of the whole show. Them appearing at Glasto even for a minute would be massive.

His crowd in 2017 was enormous! Where were you standing? I came in from the food vans at the back maybe 10 mins before it started and it was a struggle to move further forward. It went so far back that it merged with queues for food. I've never seen a bigger crowd there (but people on here have said Rag n Bone Man's was massive too).

Yep. Was massive even from the tail end of Kaiser Chiefs when I was trying to find my mates, who were not close to the front.

The crowd was ridiculous, anyone who says they could just walk through and people were sitting down was at the wrong stage, had the wrong day, or was completely spangled!

Venues mean very little though, if it was only on venues then BTS would be headlining to gawps of bewilderment from 99% of the crowd.

He won't headline because he only has album of solo material and a load of Oasis covers.

Find it a bit odd when people say "a load of Oasis covers".

I mean come on, it's not like Richard Ashcroft is getting up there and singing those Oasis songs. It's the actual bloke who sang them.

I think you overesitmate the global significance/appeal of Glastonbury here. The Grammys is something completely different. Apart from the demographic/fan base, think they prefer complete freedom in stage set up/possibilities. In the end, Glastonbury is not diverse in its crowds.

Another in agreement here. Packed.

He's a bit of a special case though (in more ways than one), before his solo comeback he was barely selling out academies with Beady Eye (and they actually had members of Oasis too) but somehow generated a huge wave of enthusiasm for his solo album by sheer force of personality and novelty factor alone, which is pretty impressive. Whether the second album and future tours will be met with the same degree of enthusiasm now he's been around a bit and everyone's had the chance to see him is another question altogether.

I'll tell you why:

Greg Kurstin
Dan Grech-Marguerat
Andrew Wyatt
Michael Tighe

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
