2019 Headliners

[Wooderson]

Saw MBV a couple times. Felt like I was having my ears cleaned with a barbed wire q-tip tied to the end of a kangohammer.

Glastonbury have history of giving the sub slots to more niche, critically acclaimed acts, though. Beck and Tame Impala subbed above Ellie Goulding in 2016, and back then most were predicting Tame to be 3rd Pyramid or subbing Other with Goulding subbing Pyramid. The National subbed above Katy Perry in 2017, D'Angelo was seemingly going to sub Adele in 2016 before pulling out (which was again whilst Ellie Goulding was playing third down on a different day).

Size-wise, Iggy is probably more suited to third down, but he seems a more likely continuation to previous years than Paolo Nutini does.

Don't see QOTSA still touring next Summer.

Ellie Goulding didn't even deserve that spot either. From what i heard of it- utter dross and her just running around the stage like an absolute tit and I was only in the queue for the yorkshire puddings, she nearly made me want to miss out on that and for that she will never be forgiven. 

 

I still got my food though....

If a gig makes me physically sick and/or in pain,

If I want to get sick and feel in pain I'll drink a pint of Tuborg.

In x years time, when Macca departs this mortal coil and the world mourns the departure of (arguably) the greatest songwriter/artist of the rock era, some people will look back and rue the decision to watch Bastille on the Other.

When he was announced for 2004 I was looking forward to it, but then did some research and realised the beatles songs I liked were mainly written by Lennon, and the ones I didn't like were written by him. I Get that he has a big legacy but I'm not really a fan of his.

 

Couldn't even try his solo stuff after this:

Its all I think of whenever I hear his name!?

Their live shows sound sick. Apparently they hand out earplugs at the door and it's so loud your body will be shaking for the whole gig. Read stuff in the past about people vomiting at them.

Not gonna be nearly as loud at a festival tho is it? So if you're going with hopes of shitting your pants, you'll be disappointed.

I'll just have some of what Couchy takes with him instead.

There are those of us who went to Basement Jaxx on The Other in 2000 (with The Beta Band subbing, come on) . It was the right decision at the time. It was. It really was.

Of course it was mate! ?

Agree completely with this. MBV's music is good enough to stand on it's own two feet without that childish crap. I've never felt physically sick at gigs and never intend too. 

I don't think they intend to make the crowd sick mate, it's just that how loud their shows are can have that effect by the sounds of it.

So the 1975 have announced two albums - one for this year and one for early next year? Assuming their as good as the first two, could they headline?

Yeah

Sounds a bit Spïnal Tap to me

I saw them at Primavera. It was pretty screechy during the holocaust finale, but I certainly didn't feel ill or even require earplugs.

The description above was literally just noise for ten minutes, not even anything that sounded like music.

Noise is a large component of their music so don't know what you're getting at.

First time I saw them The Holocaust went on for what felt like half an hour.

I think whoever gave it that title ought to have a word with themselves.

I dunno if it was ever a good idea, but it definitely doesn't feel like one any more.

Incidentally one of the best things about Loveless is that its dynamics are flattened out into such a woozy plateau, with every element somehow sounding like it's buried deep in the mix, that you crank it up as high as the volume can possibly go and it's still never uncomfortable on the ears.

Yes and I'd struggle to describe anything they've ever produced as music.

I barely remember MBV's set from when I saw them at Bilbao BBK in July but I don't think it was louder than anyone else there. I've given Loveless a couple of listens but never particularly taken to it; thinking about it though I think I've had it on quietly late at night. I'll try it again loud at some point.

Not sure what to make of Paul McCartney. It isn't overly exciting for me, but I know it's something I might one day regret not going to, but then at the same time I don't want to see a headliner purely for that reason. Hopefully there's a load of shit on up against him to save any decision making.
