Don't know a single Janet Jackson song, lads

Could she headline? Does anyone care about Janet Jackson anymore?

Really don't think she could.

To be honest I think even the people saying sub are a bit optimistic - if she's playing Sunday then my best guess would be 3rd from top immediately after Kylie. Even then I think Kylie would slightly overshadow her.

Dunno really but fair to say that she's  bigger than previous Sunday night subs Weller, Beck and Biffy.

I don’t think it is.

Aye Janet ain’t headlining. She’s big in name but I don’t think she’s ever really been THAT much of a big deal over here musically, or at least not for a while. I’d go for her going post-Kylie, similar to Katy Perry, Shakira etc from previous years. 

Kylie > Janet > Vampire Weekend > The Cure

Gimme gimme gimme.

Don’t see it myself and, er, dunno

Dunno. Definitely for a stretch she was operating in the same league as the likes of Prince or Madonna. A proto-Beyonce.  

Though obviously since then she's gone into this weird sort of semi-retirement.

She’s had as many number one singles and albums in the UK as The Strokes. Put it that way.

[Gnomicide]

She's had loads of hits but the only one I can think of is the one about not having a shag.

Yep. Mon the Biff! Miles bigger than Janet fucking Jackson.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wikipedia confirms my inkling that she's sold a truckload in her time.  More so than any of the above.

Agree that you dont hear her much these days. 

On the face of it though, subbing Vampire Weekend would be a fucking weird place for a career relaunch.

[henry bear]

Dunno why that article called it a career relaunch, unless it meant specifically the UK - she’s been on the road from 2017, the tour ending in Japan next month.

Kylie and Janet on the same day? Seems unlikely, but I’m in!

I think she'd play below Kylie to be honest.

Reminds me of my mum, she loves this...

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Avalon Cafe headliner, if we're being realistic.

[Gnomicide]

I'm thinking a Kylie/Janet combo similar to Gibb/Chic last time.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Obviously not going to moan if she pops up somewhere mid-afternoon to take some of the strain off of the late night schedule.

Was just thinking that myself. Would be quite the afternoon party.

674 rolls of the dice and we have landed on Janet Jackson... Time for bed.

[Amy Lawn]

Remember when Janet Jackson's boob was accidentally on TV for about 1 second and the entire world lost their minds about it for about 6 months? All anybody could talk about. The news used to be quite banal before the constant existential threat of western civilisation's impending collapse.

I’d’ve posted earlier, but I’ve been staring at this since I got home from work.

Odds have been slashed on The Killers headlining according to NME.

“’Somebody Told Me’ that The Killers could be on for another Glastonbury headliner slot this year – so we’ve cut our odds after they’ve been well backed,” said a spokesman for 888sport. “Brandon Flowers would certainly be ‘The Man’ for the job, and after a flurry of bets, we think they’re set to light up the Pyramid Stage once again.”
 

Saw that. Interesting.
