2019 Headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dunno if that's the only criteria or factor at play.  And Gaga's just getting a massive shot in the arm career-wise.

NB: Gaga aced it on the Other in ‘09. 

No idea if she was in the middle of a tour at the time, but IIRC her stage show seemed tailored to G. 

Aye - Gaga has prior. Also did a late night set at Shangri-La......And nearly showed up a few years back with Mark Robson IIRC.

All a bit hazy but didn’t her bra top thingy shoot fire at one point? And there were gross rumours in the redtops about her maybe being a man. She then appeared - in a rightfully shitty mood - in some magazine, posing with a dildo stuffed down her trews. 

Someone *please* tell me I haven’t imagined all that. 

Edit - the kids were with me in 2009 and I was dragged to Gaga with no knowledge of her and it was fucking great. Brightened up the usual indie fodder on offer on T’Other.

Rings a bell - although I wasn't at the G that year. Saw her at TITP on the same jaunt though.

Just found a five star Graun review online. All true.

Yeah, all the stuff about Lady Gaga being "secretly a man" happened, sadly. I remember it being a big topic of discussion on the school bus as the time (because I'm a young person, see?)

Gaga would never sub, Gazza you absolute helmet.

Monster Ball, Pyramid 2019, it's happening.

Behave....of course she would.

Yeah I reckon it’s Bonnaroo, they did a load of European gigs and festivals around that time this year so makes sense for them to skip the early June stuff and play somewhere like Bonnaroo instead.

Bonnaroo and Glastonbury can both be done.

Was heavily speculated that she was gonna turn up in ‘17 too, IIRC she made a very weak non-denial when asked if she was going to be there. That was probably for ASIB in the end (although the Glastonbury sequence in the film is so damn short they needn’t have bothered).

Do people really get festival tickets for £250 plus in the hope a certain act thats rumoured might be there ? wow 

Well they pay £500+ to viagogo for solo shows...

mind you they then go bleating to gutter press about it.

Might have been a bit longer if more folk showed up for the 'stoff

Ha, mebbe. Wouldn’t have even realised that was ‘the Glastonbury bit’ if not for the one-second shot of tents from the helicopter, Coachella got a way better slice of the action.

Anyone seen ASIB yet? Mrs b wants to go, I need convincing.

She did, that set was great. I didn't know much about her, I was a bit more arrogant in my music choices at the time and got dragged along, expecting nothing. She was fantastic.

‘Tis absolutely ace, if a tiny bit over-long. Several of Gaga’s songs are the best things she’s done in years and yer man B-Coops pulls out some beauts too.

Don’t be going with much make up on though, there didn’t look to be a single person in our screening who left the building without tear-stained cheeks. Including yours truly.

Cheers. No, don't want to come out of the Odeon looking like Alice Cooper.

Yes but the point is people are using the quote about them playing an iconic June festival as evidence for them playing at Glastonbury, and other people are pointing out that it could be in reference to Bonnaroo, not that they can't play both.

It isn't difficult.

Vampire Weekend into Gaga, I simply won't compromise on this matter.

Lana Del Rey's subbing The Cure instead though isn't she.

Just hope to god she’s not headlining OS when Macca’s on.

I think she’d be fortunate to, personally. I could see her sub for Madge before this Cool Five Mill stuff came out. She last put out a mediocre semi-flop in 2016, but then she’s more relevant than The Cure and they seem to be in the running for god knows what reason, so possible I suppose. 

The claws are out tonight.

I hope third down is Susan Boyle performing an hour of Michael Jackson covers, to well and truly complete the ‘music you’d have heard over a supermarket tannoy in 2009’ vibes.

[Doug85]

I'm sorry but if Gaga plays she's headlining only and not subbing. Would she take the sub spot- yes cos she's probably just happy to play but after this film and the reaction to it she will take top spot if she's playing.  Never mind the fact that she's probably going to get an Oscar nomination and subsequent publicity from it. If she has a new album out before the summer as well then she will be in the prime position for it.

Having just watched ASIB, I’m all in for Gaga to headline. Some cracking songs in there. Beginning to think her 2016 NME interview “Glastonbury....I can’t talk about it” which we all thought might be a 2017 appearance was infact 2019 to tie in with the film.

Didn’t the Eavii say in 2017 that they already had one 2019 headliner already booked?

Fri : Gaga

Sat: Cure

Sun: Macca

Brad Cooper to get a slot on Park at some point.

I can’t believe the Eavii won’t have a female headliner this year and as Madonna is priced out, I’m on for Gaga. She’d smash it and be a belting fri headliner to get the festival really kickstarted.
