I think AMs have been ruled out in a few quarters.

What glorious quarters they are. The more white blokes with guitars we whittle down, the closer we get to something interesting!

[Little Andy]

Arctic Monkeys were largely ruled out cos someone on some fan forum, known to get accurate info, said they weren't booked for anything over Glastonbury Weekend.

Ok, so where are we up to in terms of runners and riders?

Likely (in that they're around and would be up for doing it) - Billy Banjo, Gaga, Stormzy

Less likely (might not be active and/or about) - Swifty, Kendrick,

Active but unlikely to do it - Fleetwodd Mac, Spice Girls, 1975, Bon Jovi, Pink, Arctic Monkeys,

one I'll chuck in, just because I heard it yesterday from a music biz source - tho I really don't think it's right.

Bruce Springsteen.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Suspect that's still a recurring echo of Little Steven on Twitter saying they were ready to do it.  He's since said they're not playing.

Bruce Springsteen.

Ten years after boring everyone half to death he's back to finish the job!

Bruce in 2018 would be the most baffling headline booking ever for Glastonbury.

The missus would drag me there as well ?

[Wooderson]

He’s got unfinished biz there. WAY more supportive of this than a Macca or Stones or Stevie or Neil redux. They all nailed their appearances.

Anyone in 2018 would be.

But that word "yet"?

I feel a few High Fidelity quotes coming on...

Words that eFests forum lives by:

"I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not what you are like... Books, records, films - these things matter. Call me shallow but it's the fuckin' truth."

[Gnomicide]

And the best bit....

I guess it looks as if you're reorganizing your records. What is this though, Chronological?

No.

Not alphabetical?

No.

What?

Autobiographical.

No. Fucking. Way.

When was the last time?

Foals 2016. Headlined Reading, subbed Pyramid. So I don't think 1975 headlining other stage is out of the question

[Mash011]

THE BOOKERS REALLY FUCKED IT UP THIS TIME, DIDN'T THEY MY DEAR?

I hadn't seen he'd said they're not doing it, but it makes sense for what I was told to have come from his tweeting. Thanks.

Are Rock Werchter due to announce any other headliners? They have two on Friday/Saturday but only one on Thursday/Sunday.

I accidentally wrote 2019 down as the date on a form the other day and I was pretty certain it was because of continued discussion of 2019 festivals so I can’t make fun really.

[DownboundTrain52]

Gotta admit I'd be absolutely beyond inconsolable if The Cure, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney were the three headliners in the first year I fail to get a ticket. Sue me

I'll probably start writing 1899 soon after a Red Dead Redemption binge.

One for the Thursday for sure. Unlikely they will book another one for Sunday. Last time Muse played they had Kasabian subbing them but Kasabian are way smaller in Belgium.

We were watching him and left because we were bored. I’ve often wondered whether I made an error of judgement or was just maybe too young to appreciate it. Thanks for clarifying.

 

Thank god no 1975. That’s a result. That throws the 3rd headliner wide open (Gaga).

Didn't bore me. I had a great time watching Bruce!

[Phoenix Girl]

Can’t be Banjos Friday, Cure Saturday, Macca Sunday can it? What a spectacularly white male line up. Although that’s exactly what it was like in 2017. ?

[Honeybane]

do we have any info leaning torwards foals headlining or playing guys? Been away for a bit
