Imagine trying to convince someone you have broad taste in music by listing a load of drive time radio friendly MOR stuff.

 

I know this is needlessly confrontational for that I apologise but I literally laughed out loud when I read this.

Damn I thought 'like's weren't as valuable as upvotes. Seems I'm skint today now sorry

Plus you can see exactly the point I was making - that you can't pigeon hole someone's music taste because they really like one particular band.

I believe the point he was making was that loving the Polar Primates doesn't speak to broad listening habits admittedly yours seem more Steve Wright in the afternoon than Steve Lamacq's Indie Nightmare but still.

I still don't understand the difference between the two?

Never listened to either of them in my entire life if I'm honest! 

The point he was trying to make was a hugely pretentious one, but oh well. No harm done!

There's a post in the Rock Werchter thread saying there's talk of Kendrick Lamar playing there. Scenes when we've all ruled him out and he's the reason they've moved to Glastonbury weekend.

Some great value in the market on Skybet for headliner number 3, apart from Stormzy. 4/1 and upwards

Holy shit. It's the same person who hinted at P!nk playing there, and Rock Werchter have a live video on FB scheduled for tomorrow evening, which is probably them announcing her when she announces her tour tomorrow.

Apparently he was right around ten times last year too, about acts and the new stage they had last year. Could be a goer. Says he'll be announced either on Friday or next week, so we'll know soon if it's right or not.

Kendrick / Macca / The Cure. Wow.

The Sun said not long ago that he was in advanced negotiations with Glasto, too.

Same article that mentioned Paul McCartney wasn't it? All this discussion when we've known all along.

[jparx]

Stop it. Macca and Kendrick isn't happening the same year.

Stop it.

[Gucci Piggy]

Just had a look at the post.

Basically the other day when he hinted at P!nk he posted saying:

"Na na na na

Na na na"

And now, two days ago, he made a random post in the RW19 thread saying:

"damn"

Hasn't worked for who exactly? I keep reading that their 2 headline performances were garbage on here yet as a big fan, I thought they came off well on the TV in 2007 and when I saw the 2nd one live in 2013 I thought they were excellent, granted Turner seemed a bit worse for wear in 2013

As a worse for wear Yorkshireman I’d rather watch Sir Geoffrey Boycott reciting Chaucer than watch Turner fuck it up again.

Plus Geoff would tell all those flags to fuck off.

Yeah, it just said he's the bookies favourite, thought. It said Kendrick is thought to be in advanced talks, they're chasing Madonna, and Macca is the bookies favourites.

I remember talking about it when their article about Kylie came out and we were discussing their merit on Glasto leaks. I said at the time that if the article wasn't bullshit you'd probably expect Kendrick to end up playing but that their words on the other two were pretty non-committal, but it was a different writer to the Kylie one anyway so I stopped thinking about it.

@Mattymooz make the poster please xxx

[Mash011]

Kenny back in the game. I'll take that one. Give me a ticket.

Stormzy laying into Noely G on Insta because he knows that hip-hop top two is coming so soon.

Ah right, in that case the Country Winston threat is still alive. To be fair, Mumfords, Kendrick and The Cure sounds good for the resale so I'm all for it.

Turns out it's 6:55am, not pm, so we'll hopefully find out his P!nk info was correct even sooner.

Werchter usually announce on Fridays so it's almost definitely someone that's announcing their own tour and including RW in it.

Kendrick back in the frame- he's currently 11/2 as well. 

The only thing that I think can put extra weight behind the theory is the fact that Emily did go see him when he was touring over here.

i've just put a LUMP on kenny on skybet, i'm ruining the market lads soz

I'd love it to be Macca,

But Stormzy, Macca and The Cure? 6 out of 6 male headliners two festivals in a row? Glasto is too "woke" (zzz) for that surely?

Stormzy - has he even sold out the O2 yet? Seems premature. The Cure is a good shout. I would have said Metallica based on their schedule but it seems too soon. Lars absolutely loves Glasto though and was there last year filming Bradley Cooper for A Star Is Born.

Eagles seems up Eavis' street - Billy Joel ruled out as Wembley is only UK performance. I hope Stormzy headlines Sunday night if it's him - so I can drive home early.  

Stormzy isn't headlining.....and Kendrick won't be either. 1 it's a 3rd year and too Glasto won't pay what he wants and by all accounts, Reading wasn't all that.
