2019 Headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

One of the many hills I'll die on is that The Who were pretty good and I'm glad I got to see them one more time.

Daltrey needs to retire

voice has gone

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nah.  He's definitely not operating at 100% any more, bit I dont ascribe to these perfection or nothing binaries.

[ClementsMike]

Daltrey will be eyeing up the post Brexit independence celebration events, no?

[CaledonianGonzo]

He needs to retire from being an arch-gammon.

I thought they were great too.

I'm with you. Was underwhelmed by the announcement but really enjoyed them on the night.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's been better performances since, but not better setlists.

[Hugh Jass]

Weren't The Who making noises about stopping touring after the Hits 50 tour?

FWIW I thought they started well in 2015, first four or five songs I was thinking "this could be an all-time great" then it all dropped off a cliff. I can even pinpoint the exact moment it happened too - towards the end of My Generation they slowed right down and the energy seemed to completely drop for the rest of the set. Eventually I was just stood waiting for it to be over.

Loved The Who last time around. Pit was kicking for them. Visuals were spot on too and it wouldn't be a Who gig without a Townshend tantrum.

In fairness Oasis deserve to be top. They were bloody awful! Comfortably the worst headline set I've seen at any festival.

Last turkey in the shop. Agreed.

I'm well hoping Phish are at glastonbury somewhere, it would make up for the disappointing Artists they have already announced for me anyway. 

Theyre in NJ that week.

Now confirmation that The Who will be playing a "few festivals" in the UK in an interview in Rolling Stone

[e9t3]

The Strokes now on the rumors page, does anyone know where that came from?

IOW and BST probably, they won’t be at Glastonbury.

Grimshite has said twice they are a hot rumour on the radio, somebody has apparently had information they are headlining and if most bits of information are correct we have been told over the last few months, it makes sense as@Gucci Piggy compiled and tried to make sense of on the Strokes thread. 

I would love it, who knows till the announcement.

Out of curiousity however, what made you rumour them @eFestivals

Or maybe TRNSMT...

Because of Grimshaw twice saying he’d heard a rumour they were playing.

Grim Nickshaw saying it on national radio, twice.

If that's not a rumour i don't know what is.  

He didn't say anything about them headlining tho. I can't believe they will be.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Other Stage Headliners for the Strokes or subbing surely?

[zahidf]

Strokes would be the killers secret slot if I had to guess

While it's not a bad guess, they've not had a headline slot before and I don't care what they can gain from doing that over a sub slot which I think they would want over Other headliner.

[stuartbert two hats]

I'd have thought a Other headline slot would be perfect for The Strokes.

Could someone précis where we’re at with headliner rumours at the moment?  Checked out a bit over Christmas and New Year, no idea what’s going on.

It’s still Stormzy, Macca and Bob’s Mob.
