2019 Headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

If they're coming back they're maybe more likely to be one of the two already in the frame for the big five-o.

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!

Disclosure bored me to tears headlining other last year.

Exceptionally unlikely to be the Stones.  They're only planning their movements about 3 months in advance at the minute.

[nikkic]

Not a chance Stones will headline Glasto again. 

Pulp would be ace. If The Verve can pop up out of no-where and do it then Jarvis and The Lads can certainly bring their disco 2000.

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. 

Hopefully you're right. I missed them when they made their comeback in 2011, and if The Libertines, Pixies and The Stone Roses have all been doing re-reunions, I don't think Pulp doing the same would be unrealistic.

Can defo see Pulp coming back again, but not sure if I see it happening by 2019.

[squirrelarmy]

Little controversial but remember we're talking two years from now. No female headliner this year either so you would assume they would go for one for 2019.

Chemical Brothers

Catfish and the Bottlemen

Sia

People keep saying this but I doubt they're gonna go for a female headliner just for the sake of it. If there's a suitable female booking available, such as Beyoncé, then yeah, but I doubt they'll try to shoehorn one in.

This is other stage at best.

Possibly if they were playing this year but have to think where they may be in two years plus the fact they will be saving the really big guns for 2020. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They'll book Swizzle, Bey or Madonna before they pick up the SiaPhone.   Rihanna or Gaga are maybe also more likely to get the call first.

Pishcat and the Twittertwats have already reached the summit of their career trajectory.

Chemical and the Brothers are Other Stage headline regulars.

Chemical Bros are hardly on their way up at that point, Catfish are a landfill flash in the pan, Sia has also peaked and plateaued at a lower stature than Katy Perry.

Is 2018 s fallow year? I can't keep up. And is the bizarre jamboree happening next year then?

I think 2018 is a year off entirely and the Variety Bazaar is happening in 2021 or something. Not sure, though.

Nothing about the headliners but saw this and thought of this forum. I had thought that this level of speculation only existed here but I think Leeds fans have out done us...

No harm in an little optimism to temporarily brighten the world's darkening skies.

I work in their manager's office and for the last six months I've been redirecting all their job offers to Circa Waves.

[Gozpot]

With it being the 50th anniversary they will surely go all out on the bookings, with that in mind im going for:

Arctic Monkeys
The 1975

Taylor Swift
Lady Gaga

R.E.M. (Doubt they will reform but a man can dream) 
QOTSA

I think 50th is 2020, so 2019 likely to be the exact opposite of going all out.

My mistake!

Arctic Monkeys
QOTSA

Kendrick Lamar
BBK

Blur
The 1975

In that case

[mattiloy]

Can't see past Arcade Fire after they didn't do a secret set after all. It'll have been a good few years since they headlined by then and they're the most consistently brilliant band (both on record and live) out there at the moment (this is subjective of course but also objectively and extremely true).

tl;dr AF FTW

I guess two years gives us a chance to see if the explosion in grime's popularity was a fad, if Stormzy is still going strong with the yoots by then I see no reason why he shouldn't get given the nod. I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Foals promoted, perhaps pending another decent album release between now and then. Something in the mould of What Went Down, which is full of powerful riffs to make ya go 'mmmmmm ye' in a big crowd.
