2019 Headliners

[Chef]

Well this is a kick in the balls. 

Glad I shelled out to see him in December now. 

The headliner thread is alive and well.

The Headliner thread suddenly got interesting again...

It’s even staving off the pain of maybe never seeing Paul McCartney.

[McCor]

Gaga-ooooo-la-la!!!!!!!!!

She definitely meant Stormzy at the time...

What, after he was announced?

Never mind. I reckon Strokes or the dreaded Monkeys, an easy act to book because of something that has fell through...

Stormzy had already been announced.

[tevaburger]

Without Macca is there really anyone being considered that Noel G would agree to subbing or playing under? I couldn't see him before The Cure, Strokes, Lady Gaga, Arctics, or Stormzy - Could it be him? 

Ruined my day this has. This was always the worry when those first few Macca dates came out

Maybe Stormzy was the replacement?

seems hugely unlikely that Stormzy was a replacement for anyone, going by the timings of things. It's pretty much certain he was booked at the end of the summer, from what he instagrammed.

[Xeph1995]

Rhianna?

I touted it back when they announced their comeback.

She reckoned the solo artist might well say no, though, so it could easily be someone else.

[RarerThanDandyB]

'Iconic June date'. Not Bonaroo... Unlikely to be Isle of Wight...

even twitter woman said she didn't think the name she'd heard would accept, so i don't think there's too much reason to stick to what she said. Things might have moved on to another act.

Reckon it could have been Arianna like you mentioned above

Like Strokes coming back...

[Hugh Jass]

Okay then, runners and riders:

Gaga

The Strokes

The Killers

Arctic Monkeys

Spice Girls

Springsteen

Something left field we haven't considered

To check I'm reading this all right, it was gonna be Macca, he couldn't, was offered to someone else (maybe female, lets call them X) from the twitter thread, but X may or may not accept... so basically if they did say no it opens it up to be essentially anyone?

Same guy who passed that info on said they weren’t doing Glasto.

Don't forget that random person who said it was Taylor Swift, if we are back to considering randomers.
