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....'

 

In your series of tweets they announced the Cure first, ok they said "will play" but the next one says "we can reveal another headliner".

Surely if Lady Gaga was doing Glastonbury she’d also be doing other festivals on this side of the Atlantic during the same trip?? And now she’s all but ruled out of Werchter, unless she’s subbing it. HmmMMmm..

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

He'd probably be doing the sunday, gives him enough time. Itd probably benefit him being switched around anyways, sleep all day, party all night.

Genuinely laughing here at the turn this thread has taken. Boggled by the comparisons of Dizzee to Stormzy. Plus artists having the temerity to ask the audience to jump. Tell you what though if George Clinton asks me to put my hands in the air while he takes me to the bridge then they're going up. 

You know it's not an actual bridge, don't you?

Happy Birthday for it either way  

Next year my birthday's ticket balance deadline day, hoping that's a good omen somehow.

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?

Of course they're heading RW. They've still got a lot to announce too, as they have 8 headliners each year.

Edit: Apols - just your retraction. There's a lot more RW to come though, including Kenny, possibly.

Just had a look at the post.

Basically the other day when he hinted at P!nk he posted saying:

"Na na na na

Na na na" 

And now, two days ago, he made a random post in the RW19 thread saying:

"damn"

where is this? can't see anything in the RW thread on here?

 

e: oh, i see it's about a festileaks account posting it.

also, awkward:

Oh no, got our deposits in cheers. We've been quite silly though, we'll be in Prague that day, booked it before the ticket sale.. Good job pints are cheap over there eh, might do me some good to live on beans on toast from then to the festival..

Why the love-in for Kendrick on here? Just out of interest. I've always wondered it as it doesn't seem a very 'eFests-type' act from my perspective, yet everyone here seems to fawn over him!

I must admit I saw him at Benicassim and thought it was dreadful, but I'm starting to think it's far more likely that I'm wrong and everyone else is correct. Might be the time for me to give him another listen!

That would mean Macca on the Friday, can't see that..

Yeah it’s you that’s wrong. Listen to Good Kid Mad City and To Pimp A Butterfly. If you don’t like them your loss.

Clearly touched a nerve ?. I was being sincere in the fact that I might well have got him wrong, I wasn't taking the mick!

I've tried to get into him but find it utter cack. I might like him live. Having said that I'd like to see him as a Glasto headliner booking to mix it up a bit and he seems to have a good following. (And reduces the chances of me being at the Pyramid over those 3 nights which I want to avoid!)

Critically acclaimed, fresh and political, a POC suitably prominent enough to get the proper haircuts frothing. Everything the efests community loves.

I can see why he wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste - his flow falls behind the beat sometimes, and anyone whose only knowledge of him is his guest verses on that Maroon 5 song or that Sia song would understandably have no motivation to do any further listening. But I think he’s great.

There are some brilliant 'lost in translation'. This is currently my favourite:

I took my felafels to Bella's. I thought the smell was annoying him. Feel so foolish now.

Although i'd love to think we are close to an announcement of some sort, Emily doesn't tend to reveal Headliners during these types of interviews- we may get an announcement similar to 2016/17 when PJ Harvey and Kris Kristofferson were announced. 

Thinking back to 2017 they made a big deal of announcing Radiohead and then the whole Frome gig/video for Foo Fighters which was pretty cool. Fucking Sheeran announced it with a screen of cows in the background though- about as shit an idea as his music. 

[mufcok]

I'm probably being really thick here but I can't see any Kendrick tour dates for next year, where are these American dates?..

[jparx]

I don't thinks he'll make an announcement on Zoe Ball's show, but I think we could have one before then. I'm predicted we get Macca announced at the end of the month. Mainly because it's my birthday...

I'm still waiting for his cricket themed concept album with Huey Lewis.
