I'd be happy with that.

I'd be at the Pyramid on Sunday. Maybe Friday (probably not though). Saturday I'd definitely be elsewhere.

 

I’m with you on this.

Great overnight developments after yesterday’s 10 page AM take down. Excellent sleuthing by @Gucci Piggy on the RW thread

I haven't seen a Pyramid headliner since 2014... I am watching 1 in 2019 - there better be a good one.

Macca, Kendrick or Cure take your pick.

I thought The Eagles were doing Saturday at Wembley?

Piano Man - Sat 22nd; Eagles - Sun 23rd; Pink Sat 28th & Sun 29th ... (still can't get my head around this - 2 nights?!)

The one Friday you should have looked elsewhere...

Had seen them on tour earlier in the year and Glastonbury was a bit disappointing compared to that, but overall I enjoyed it. Wasn't going to the fest at the time of their previous headline slots either.

That actually makes a lot of sense looking at his dates and last years lineup. Probably more sense for him to have a couple of days off and play in California than fly over for Glastonbury.

I think Arryo seco will be the weekend before Glastonbury likely the 22-23

[MetaKate]

I'm just looking at his dates... June 11 in illinois, june 26 in pheonix... it would make sense if he did a couple festivals in between there, and he could still do Arryo seco if its the 22 23rd

Ive also noticed hes got Bonnaroo weekend free.

Don't know much about Kendrick but from what I know I'd like to see him. Three nights at the Pyramid? Surely not...

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Pink is playing two nights at Wembley Stadium?? What?? That’s probably the most over-ambitious booking I’ve heard in a long time, I like the gal so I hope it doesn’t go as horribly wrong as it might.

[Zoo Music Girl]

It does sound like a much stronger, more balanced booking though than Arctics or 1975 or what have you. 

[Northtim]

Kendrick - Cure - Macca sounds good to me.

I'd be there for Cure on Saturday and plenty else to explore on the Fri & Sun.  Only did Foo's as pyramid headliner last year and no one will convince me I would have had more fun than at Flaming Lips on Friday at park and unknown band at Strummerville then SE Corner on the sunday!

What did Stormzy post - could it be he knows about Kendrick and it was referring to Kendrick not himself?

Assuming he'd have to do the Friday at Glastonbury, isn't June 26th in Phoenix a bit too close?. 48 hours before with significant time difference

If he does that I wouldn't mind learning his tactics around avoiding jet lag

[jparx]

I thought Metallica were in the RW frame? If you add them as the fourth headliner it looks much more appropriate for that festival.

Not to try and dump on the Kendrick rumour. I've seen Metallica a few times so I'd much rather Kendrick.

Or...  Stormzy subbing Kendrick? So it's a proper Hip Hop night.

That would make a lot more sense than Stormzy being asked to headline himself, seeing as it’s been 15(?) years since they took that kind of gamble.

Eh. Today's debate was a pretty fun day off from debating whether Lady Gaga/Stormzy/Mumfords/The 1975 are big enough but yeah let's go back to that tomorrow.

Christ I'm glad someone said it.

Kendrick Lamar Duckworth is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K-Dot, releasing a mixtape that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label Top Dawg Entertainment.

I'd have prefered if he called himself Kenny Duckworth

Reckon we'll get one of the headliners this month? Radiohead were announced for 2017 on 20th October 2016...

[jyoung]

Kendrick / The Cure / Macca.

That's fucking naughty, Michael!

Emily’s doing an interview with Zoe Ball on 10th November. Reckon we’ll get an announcement of some kind then.  

[Keithy]

I wouldn't go and see him headline but Kendrick is exactly the sort of headliner the Eavii should be booking. 

I know it came from Neil but tbh I still can't quite get on board with The Cure being a pyramid headliner. And he did say he had a bit of conflicting information. I dunno, just doesn't feel quite right to me. Reckon we have one headliner still up for grabs. It's not confirmed they are headliner RW either. Mumford and Pink were all announced on their twitter as headliners. The Cure just got 'will play....'

Smart move by RW moving their festival to Glastonbury weekend and being able to share acts. I wonder if that came from being frustrated with bookings previously?

EDIT.

It's on their website

"The festival season in Werchter is officially open! Rock Werchter 2019 can proudly announce its first headliner. The Cure will perform on Friday 28 June"

Guess it is the flippin' Cure then.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Pretty sure they did the same thing for the Foos previously? Not sure if it was in 2015 or 2017.
