Have  Metallica been discussed?

Big gap in their UK Euro tour at the end of June.

Lars is a massive Glasto convert.

Very much doubt it, just because the last time is so fresh in the mind y’know?

On another note...

Surely they must have at least one female headliner? Or at least a band that’s not all men?

That song starts perfect for a Pyramid sub slot.

The unmistakable sound of a Pyramid sub slot.

Love a bit of Gaga, me. Guilty pleasure. Or just 'pleasure'. And what? 

Paparazzi and Alejandro on The Other Stage? Come at me.

While I completely agree with the sentiment, they've got precedent for all male (and all white) headliners: 2013, 2009 stand out in recent memory.

But the times are changing

2017 was all white males, too.

but the bands haven't changed as quickly as the ideas have.

Simple fact is that the majority of suitable acts to headline still fall in the white male category. It's still going to be a while before that changes very much.

Other!? Serious crackpipe posting here.

I dunno if it even matters too much in a given year if all the headliners are male as long as the rest of the line up brings the XX chromosome power.  Stack the rest of the day on the Pyramid with the likes of Kylie, Dua Lipa, Mavis Staples, Lana Del Rey, Jorja Smith, Sigrid, etc and most people wouldn't be too worried.

Then next year book Madonna, Fleetwood Mac and Rihanna.

Emily was at the Chemical Brothers gig at Ally Pally last night, posted a video on her instagram. 

Possible Other headliner?

Nick - Emily's hubby - is their manager. Them being there isn't really anything you can read anything into.

Feels quite soon too, as good as it would be. 

Off to Ally Pally tonight to see them, I'm setting several alarms for the morning - sleeping through ticket day is unthinkable!

I agree, but having just looked there were only four years between their previous two Other headline slots.. It would be very uninspiring but not surprising at all.

Hey, sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone know if The Cure are likely to do any other dates in UK next year or is it just likely to be Glastonbury?.

thanks.

Got a mate who works at a booking agency, who has a mate who works at a bigger booking agency (I know, I know). She says Stormzy is booked to headline. Make of that what you will.

I had a dream last night.

 

I was at Glastonbury. It was really nice and sunny and they had a water park there. Y'know, huge swimming pool, lots of slides etc. It was really fun. Then I went and flirted with some girl but it was just a ruse to pinch her burger. Then I went over to a food stall and they were selling.... The Cure-inspired food.

 

confirmed lads

Dunno why people are downvoting this. We don't really have much info on anyone but The Cure and Macca, and with The Cure now ruled out of the Friday it's hardly out of the question for it to be Stormzy/The Cure/Macca. Obviously most of us are predicting Arctic Monkeys but it's mostly just guessing.

Haha, I had a dream a few nights back that they released the entire lineup now and neither of the rumours (Cure, Macca, AM) were there. The headliners were The Rolling Stones, Kendrick and Madonna.

Has Stormzy got enough tunes to headline? Genuine question as I think it could be great, but surely he'd need another album in him?

Yeah I agree. This is the first I've heard about Mexican Ben having gone, you have to explain, I'm having a conniption over here.

We asked where he was at a gig earlier in the year, apparently he's "gone nine to five". They've had a bloke called Greg playing with them the last few times I've seen them.

Lady Gaga could play the sunset slot and then someone playing more authentic music like Liam Gallagher could headline and kick the night off in classic Glastonbury fashion.
