Time to dig out the cheque book.

There is no magic money tree.

Michael's swimming pool is actually filled with gold coins and he swims around in it like Scrooge McDuck.

They pulled money from somewhere for the Stones.

I’d imagine Gaga is the obvious candidate if we’re gonna believe that person seeing as she’s already touring and has Glastonbury free. Getting Madge to up and start touring seems like a big long shot.

Tend to agree.

Also must have missed Ariana Grande being in Canada that weekend.

We send the EU £350 million a week. Why not spend it on Madge instead?

We send the EU £350 million a week. Why not spend it on having 3,500 troops on the streets and martial law instead?

Might get a hint tomorrow. Radio 1 brekkie show do a competition for 2 tickets to Glastonbury

Which one has the worse come down?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I didn't fight and die in two World Wars so that The Strokes could headline Glastonbury.

Talking of Radio1, won't they be announcing their festival soon?

[kevbizarre]

So The Strokes are definitely out as headliners I assume with APE confirmation? 

?

Nothing about them being an exclusive (I don’t think?) but it would be odd for them to headline both due to the size different of each festivals general headliners.

Not necessarily.

That’s what I’m thinking.

Too big to sub and I don’t see them headlining other stage (I guess Killers were the exception recently for smaller stage headliner)

[JoeyT]

The Strokes have bitten the dust!

[SwedgeAntilles]

Given we've been thinking they were likely to be headlining APE either way it doesn't feel like this confirmation changes anything. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nope. We're not out of the woods yet.

[Acid Loafers]

APE makes it more likely that The Strokes will headline the Other Stage if they are to do Glasto at all I feel.

I don’t think that rules them out. APE is a one off gig in reality plus Glastonbury aren’t going to not pick someone because of their placement somewhere else. Beyoncé headlines in 2011 but subbed T in the Park.

TITP’s lineup that year was ludicrously strong and they had many headliner sized/big acts playing in lower slots (The Strokes amongst them). Beyoncé was still a major headliner act by all accounts. The Strokes in 2019, not so much. But it’d be silly to totally rule them out as if the McCartney pulling out news is true then Glastonbury clearly had to go somewhere. I just don’t see it being to The Strokes, myself, unless they were REALLY out of options.

I don’t see it being The Strokes but I’m just saying the idea that their slot at another festival rules them out of contention isn’t really true. Especially as they seemingly aren’t down as an exclusive. I think people are premature with their joy/misery
