2019 Headliners

[Twlib]

Flying Without Wings on the Pyramid Stage, that’s going to be one of those real iconic Glastonbury moments ?

[Keithy]

It's probably they are playing Avalon and headlining that tent, which you could argue is still  'headlining at Glastonbury'.

Sounds about right.

Glasto ever made announcements on weekends?

[CaledonianGonzo]

A more credible and entertaining headliner than The Killers, but sadly I think we're still destined for an appointment with the ghost of Bob Monkhouse singing minor hits from Britpop past.

I can confirm it was meant to be funny.

Impossible not to like Boyzone without loving Westlife. I see a super group on the horizon.

The can fuck off away from Avalon. Not having those stool riding, granny pleasing, ballad jockeys soiling the best area on site.

[Odessa]

Don't worry my friends. Westlife isn't happening. The best case scenario of The Killers is still on the cards. 

[Gnomicide]

She did actually say it, just listened back ?. Clearly taking the piss though.

Well said that man . Westlife are example I always use when hilighting all the shit that x factor / Cowell type mass produced shite that's been churned out in last 25 years.  I couldn't name one single of theirs despite them having tons oh wait that Billy joel cover

The 2016 map was released on a Saturday night at about 10pm IIRC. I opened a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Including that map release, there have been 6 Saturday announcements, including The Killers  in 2007.

Same number on Sundays. So it happens but not often.

Jesus Christ. Was hoping to enjoy my weekend without the thought of the Las Vegas Kolchak The Night Stalker being dangled over me.

I wouldn’t worry it’s clearly nonsense, I put more faith in my cat taking a shit on a copy of the NME and seeing which act it points at.

Haha! God, I wonder how long it would take with no announcement for us to actually start resorting to this as a method of prediction

Oh no... Busted were huge fun, but Westlife is a joke too far, surely.

Busted gig was brilliant. That field was rammed.

Killers best case? In what universe? Strokes would be better.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Don't be alarmed. It's the first festival that The Killers have ever played so I'm sure they'll pull out all the stops in order to impress everyone.

Well said, Avalon is precious

mind you, Didn’t Wil Young in a dress not play Avalon last time out? 

[whitehorses]

@Ayrshire Chrisyes Will Young played Avalon in 2016. Was a pretty decent gig, but better than that he was a thoroughly nice guy. Completely unexpectedly cool.

Saw it myself, albeit from just outside the tent. And yes, I agree  it was decent. He came across as an alright fellow. 

[ogriff]

I met Will Young once in a pub in Hackney. Can confirm that he was a thoroughly nice chap, and happy to put up with drunken ramblings. 10/10, would definitely bother him again.
