2019 Headliners

[Jcatley]

Courteeners are 100% bigger. That is if you're in Greater Manchester though.

Pearl jam.. Or I'm not going 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Seem to remember Emily Eavis saying years ago (2014?) that Glastonbury HQ didn't see Biffy as a headliner - and given that they've noticeably shrunk since that statement, they might even be counting themselves lucky to sub these days. Certainly wouldn't be that outrageous to say they're less of a big deal now than when they played third down in 2011, although then again that placement was probably harsh at the time.

Are you mad? Emily only said a few weeks ago they're headline material. How can you say they're getting smaller. They're getting bigger as each album is released. They'll tear up the pyramid in the sub headline spot this year, which will then prove they're worthy headline contenders for 2019. They're one of the best live bands out there at the moment. They've also headlined T in the park, isle of wight, and R&L twice. Underestimate them at your peril!!

It breaks my heart to say this but....they're utter dog droppings, Bob.

[Madyaker]

If the arctics release an album next year they must be nailed on. I'd like too see Foals do it too. They smashed it out of the park at Reading last year.

Completely not true. Unbelievably talented musicians with multiple headline slots that say otherwise.

...but they were poor at Glasto. 

[Deadendfriends8]

The Courteeners are nowhere near as big as Biffy, jeeez that statement made me weep a little.

 

Also on the thing about Biffy getting smaller, the next album will need to be a biggie if they're ever going to headline Glasto. Personally I hope they do.

Alsooooooooooooooo can we talk about why they're not headlining the other stage at the same time as Ed? That would have been so much better. It'll be a bit crap before ed

Courteeners may not have Biggy's record sales or headline sets, but they loom large in terms of personality and charisma.  They've got heart and that's where it counts.

The Courteeners are w*nk though

[CaledonianGonzo]

Courteeners have the whole Northern thing on their side, though, which Biffy can't hope to compete with.

Unfortunately, though, the festival isn't in Manchester nor Scotland. Maybe if they were one of them could headline

Not so much a Scottish thing as a Kilmarnock thing, and all that's really happening there are the Killie Pies.

What are the pies like where The Courteeners are from?

Stale.

[Matt42]

Kendrick Lamar
Arctic Monkeys
Pulp

 

acts taking big slots; Queens of the Stone Age, Vampire Weekend, Disclosure, Ariana Grande, Diana Ross, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Skepta, Bastille.

Reckon the year off will weaken the lineup pulling power a bit, also incredibly hard to predict placings 2 years in advance.

Queens followed by Kendrick would be unreal

Essentially the Robbie Savage of the rock world then?

I dunno.  I'm not really good with football analogies, I'm afraid.  

Who are the two worst footballers ever that also don't have a hope of headlining Glastonbury?

had QOSTA, Vampire Weekend and Disclosure as subs in my mind but of course everything can change

Kendrick
QOTSA

Arctic Monkeys
Vampire Weekend

Pulp
Disclosure

would be a sick top billing imo... not too over ambitious either.

(of course I'm aware Pulp have to reform first).

Got a feeling Disclosure may have fucked it with their second album. They're not gonna go tumbling down lineups, but definitely can't see them subbing the Pyramid.

Was thinking the exact same thing. I can 100% see AM and K.dot but not Pulp though.

I agree - I was just trying to think of subs... but that's quite hard for a festival 2 years in advance.

If Disclosure keep at the level they are at right now I reckon they could sub - if they released another banger I could see it working relatively well.

I'm liking the fact that my Pulp prediction isn't being shot down, we should keep the faith alive!

It'd be lovely and that, Matthew, but it won't happen. It'll be Beyonce.

Wait, what?

not at all, I know nothing jon snow

I just think with predicting a festival two years in advance you've got to think that it is 730 days for any inactive band to suddenly pick up their guitars again and get back into it... heck they could even release an album in that time even if they aren't doing anything now. 

Pulp are a band that (based on nothing) I consider incredibly likely to surprise us and get back into it within the next two years. They've had a good bit of time off and you never know, plus Jarvis has never ruled out their return.
