Because Glasto want Oasis but they won't reform, or offered to Liam based on his own credentials? And with Noel playing elsewhere on the line up too?

The Strokes are a bit of a non-entity in 2019. They’re a stale booking (although less so on their maiden Glasto visit) but not a non-entity by any stretch. We’re not talking about the Von Bondies headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But didn’t you read - they’re apparently plotting their “Global Comeback” in 2019. Tbf, I’m a bit surprised all the grief they’re getting on here. They seem every bit big enough to headline to me. What makes a band/artist big enough anyway? You only need one album and a few mil listeners. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormzy seems to be a weird first announcement. Ive definitely read they’re making a big global comeback. Like you said, first time at Glastonbury and hopefully another decent new album and people will warm to the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blisterpack Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Could someone just remind me why Fleetwood Mac are ruled out? Other than Emily saying they hadn’t booked them about 3 months ago. Edited January 17, 2019 by Blisterpack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Worth noting that the "global comeback" is currently slated to start in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just look at what this forum presumes are the most likely candidates at present in Stormzy, The Cure and The Strokes and I think in a head to head with any of them, Liam would draw a bigger crowd. The Noel situation is a strange one. It really does seem mad as hell having both of them on at the same festival. Lets be honest, what ever crowd they draw will predominantly be there for the Oasis tunes. It is difficult to place either of them. I am not advocating Liam headlining, it is not something I would be interested in seeing myself. Yet it just seems a bit mad talking about the Strokes headlining and not Liam.

Amy Lawn Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Some regular cat off here with 0 history of bullshitting said a while back he knew that Strokes were headlining Latitude. I forgot who it was, but I buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConorC Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I may have expressed some negativity towards The Strokes as headliners in the last hour or so but they'd be a miles stronger booking than Oasis karaoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Is there any actual intel of the strokes headlining or is it just speculation as they’re available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he would. There was a huge amount of buzz around his comeback in 2017 but he has been gigging pretty regularly since and I wonder if some of that buzz has worn off. He'd still get decent numbers, but I don't think he'd get massively different to the others if he headlined, sub feels right for him.

Maybe I am just in an environment where Liam is still regarded as musical royalty. He's still headline news. Everyone knows Liam Gallagher. Now let's be honest, that's purely because of his heritage but he still feels a bigger deal that than the others mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadpheasant Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I know it's such a cliche to suggest an Oasis reunion headline slot but since both brothers are already tbc, surely this year is more likely than any for it to actually happen.
