You haven't missed much tbh. It was mainly some rumours coming from another forum about Rock Werchter suggesting Kendrick Lamar (or something else). Hopefully this will come to a conclusion tomorrow morning with an announcement. Plenty others still want Lady Gaga. No change in info on Macca or The Cure.

Even if we don't get the announcement that the 'damn.' hint was referring to, RW tend to announce acts the whole of this month so got another week of speculation yet

There's plenty of reason to take exception with The Rolling Stones for their tax evasion/Under My Thumb/Stray Cat Blues, Metallica for their bear hunting, The Who for the child porn on Pete Townshend'

For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

Wow, with a straight face as well? What am i missing, i thought he was a rubbish run of the mill r'n'b star.

The most critically acclaimed artist of his generation and a huge commercial force. Why are you using RnB as if it's some sort of put-down?

Begone, troll guy.

Well if it is Muse when we were all expecting Kendrick....

Maybe by "damn" he was referring to the collective reaction when Muse are announced.

Then again for Rock Werchter attendees the only criteria for a good headliner seems to be that it's a rock band. They seem to want Muse to headline, in fact.

Can we choose to give this no credence as well 

Personally I think Biffy Clyro should be given a chance to headline. Give them the Friday night slot and I think they would absolutely go for it.

Tweet from a promoter and manager. Probably just an educated guess, but maybe he knows...?

He called IOW the best festival in the world and Blossoms' takeover of a non-league ground the most important gig of 2019. Clearly lives in Opposite Land and none of those acts are playing the festival they're named for.

1. Not a hope of Dylan headlining a major festival. Literally not a fucking hope. 

2. This lad describes IOW as "the best festival in the world".

Although to put Macca in he'd probably have to have some inside info or be up to date on forums such as these. Can't think he'd just pull that name out as he's not nailed onto doing any festivals next summer is he? So could be based on some info

He’ll just read rumours like every other bullshitter wanting to sound ITK. No reason a manager of a low-level band would know something like that.

Looking through his tweets etc, he does seem like a guy who doesn't really have a clue

As a Dylan fan, I'd agree... but believe it or not, last year he headlined Fuji Rock - 125,000 capacity - alongside Kendrick Lamar and NERD.

Giddings tweeted something about celebrating 50 years since Dylan's '69 IOW set.
