Just reread the first page of this thread, there was a fair few predicting Foals two years ago which seems so unlikely now. 

I’m going to go with:

The Carters

Madonna

Artic Monkeys

That’d be phenomenal but seems way too strong, sadly.

Heard he flew home the wrong way and went via China.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He flew in from Miami Beach BOAC

This actually reminded me of that time Gaz claimed Radiohead played in Germany because it was on the way from Japan to the US.

That's what I was attempting to reference. Thought it might have been too tenuous a link to understand, mind.

oops. Thought you were referencing going around the houses and ending up in China.

I fucking hate Neil for that still. Was definitely Bloc Party.

Yeah true, I’m struggling for a third headliner, I don’t think Stormzy is big enough to headline, nor the 1975, I can’t seem to find a fit.

Well, it is. Have you never seen a map?

Massive-ass 1975 tour just announced. We’ll see how ticket sales go obviously but no reason in my mind they couldn’t headline. Four albums is plenty.

10 dates, 2 of which in Ireland, is hardly what I'd call "massive-ass". not much scope for adding extra nights either, apart from 1 almost certain in London.

I'm no expert or ITK, but I'm going to claim that The 1975 are definitely not headlining the Pyramid Stage in 2019.

See you boys at Glastonbury Flat Earthers meet 2019.

[Gucci Piggy]

Was gonna say Gazza probably is a flat earther tbf.

Why not? Three albums, they’ve sold out arenas, their next album and tour will undoubtedly sell bucket loads.

Not saying they will but they can’t be ruled out either.

Both The 1975 and Stormzy could headline with new albums tbh.

Both would need it, imo. 

Today I feel like going with:

Arctic Monkeys / Liam Gallagher

Kendrik Lamar / Stormzy

Madonna / Ariana Grande 

[Padgey]

The 1975 only 7/1 to headline any night, surely too short those odds.

I can't see Ariana Grande getting sub, I 100% think they would book her but closer to a 3rd down.

See after the joint album was released I did wonder if they would ever be a potential headliner as a duo after such great solo performances.

Three bands that don't exist and The Cure shorter odds than Beyonce, mmm kay. Drake is probably the closest thing to a value bet here.

[jparx]

Is there anything that would rule out The Cure? To say they are 3rd on that list (for whatever it's worth) there doesn't seem to be much discussion. I'd love it, but I can't really see it. I wouldn't say they are big enough in 2018 but some of you guys are better judges than me!

 

Edit: apologies if this was addressed 50 pages ago ?

The Cure are an interesting one. Nobody is discussing them, but in recent memory, they’ve done Bestival, R&L, BST, IOW. They’ve done everything else, maybe only really leaving them with this left?

but at 2/1 you won’t catch me putting any money on them. Plenty of other ‘maybe’ acts as well
