It will be worth it just for Russy's reaction when The 1975 headline instead of Nick Cave.

Didn't they confuse the fuck out of Hyde Park a few years back by playing a half hour long version of something off of Are You Passionate?

Ah...maybe.  Wasn't there and didn't check, just presumed he didn't opt to be so crowdpleasing.

He nailed it chief. 

One of the greatest balls out gigs in the history of the field.

Stop it.  My first Glasto, ended up watching Bloc Party trying (and failing) to meet up with friends. One of life's great regrets.

I reckon if I went around uni tomorrow asking who'd heard of Arcade Fire easily more than 50% of people would say yes.

I reckon if I went around uni tomorrow asking who'd heard of Nick Cave I reckon around -20% of people would say yes.

“Who is that old dude?”

If they don't know him, just show them a picture of him.

They still won't recognise him, but his hair will cheer them up.

Florence has really pissed on your chips lately hasn't she?

[Mash011]

Mate imagine a 2019 where they booked Kendrick Lamar/The 1975/Nick Cave.

Would be perfect. Two great acts and an average new act being given their chance whilst I can head off to the Park to see MBV.

I was going to say it'd be the weakest trio of headliners since the early noughties.  But then 2014 was hardly blockbusting.

Tbh if they were to go for a more offbeat headliner like Cavey 2019 would be the year to do it, with Coldplay's big gammon blowout to follow for the 50th.

Not huge but each of those would be a special booking in their own way. And yeah with 2020 to follow it might be the chance to take some risks.

Yeah 1975/Kendrick/Cave in 2019 followed by Elton John/Arctic Monkeys/Coldplay in 2020 init.

Anyway I don't even think Cave will still be touring next Summer.

[Winslow Leach]

Surely coming back from a year off is the time to pull something big out of the bag and remind everyone what they were missing?

To be honest I think the festival could do with lessening the emphasis on tentpole blockbuster names at the top of the bill but even if they go in that direction I can't see it being Cave they go for.
