2019 Headliners

[kingbadger]

The Strokes headlining 6 years since they last released an album and 4 years since selling barely 25k full price BST tickets makes so little sense it must be true, aka The Who in 2015.

At the risk of reigniting the flight times/rest debate, is Vegas on Saturday and Glastonbury on Sunday completely, completely impossible for Macca?...

Exciting this. Was quite looking forward to seeing him, but it does free me up a night at the Pyramid. Unless it's Gaga who I'd be tempted by, none of the other options being bandied about seem remotely interesting. Strokes bored me to tears back in 2001.

Can anyone fill me in on the context where everyone is saying "iconic June date"? Ta. 

P. S. Found out yesterday Little Chef is no more. Week of devastation.

Do your posts in here suggest you don't think it's The Strokes?

Nothing i know Gucci Mama

I'd just be absolutely stunned if they were headlining Glastonbury in 2019

There was a rumour Arctic Monkeys were doing an iconic June festival but the person who provided the rumour confirmed it wasn't Glasto, so it's irrelevant.

New Ian Brown single is playing on the radio. Its a sign...

Yup. Not a chance. Apologies if you wanted to see him, but extinguish that hope before someone gets hurt.

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

I outright asked Blake a few months ago, and he said his contact at Domino (think that’s their label?) said he won’t be missing anything from them at Glastonbury that weekend in terms of headliners

Things may have changed, but I’m still confident on Gaga

No. Paul McCartney has to have 4 days rest between shows and if he's flying back from America it has to be 4 weeks because planes make him restless.

Ha! I'm not that arsed tbh, but he was one of those I would have felt compelled to see if you know what I mean. Would have just induced clashes. 

[kevbizarre]

Gaga is probably the best of the bunch of acts listed as possible. Definitely not the Strokes please

Nick Grimshaw has said twice on the radio this week that he's been told The Strokes are playing Glastonbury. Not long before that someone on here had been told that the headliners were Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure.

can't find that. Got a link?

I'm listening to The Fall on Spotify, think it's an equally significant sign.

[Havors]

[Havors]

Oh no..... i just had a though.... Emily said "we have a couple of guys signed up" (to paraphrase) regarding headliners.... Noel Gallagher is slated to be playing saturday... ?? Im going to have to get in touch with my source and find out. 

[eFestivals]

thanks.

[RarerThanDandyB]

I would actually love all three headliners and would see them aside if Tame Impala headlines other on Friday. 

[Xeph1995]

I hope its not the strokes but oh well. Means a clash on other stages I'snt as hard to decide.
