Headliners 2019

[mjsell]

Saw Elton at Bestival. He said it was his first festival appearance ever (no idea if true), and he seemed to love it. And he basically got the whole of Bestival there watching him, people were climbing up on to the roofs of the bars due to overcrowding. 

One thing I would say though, don't put Chic on before him. They stole the show that night. Made his set seem a bit flat at points.

Does make me wonder the importance of the role that Mick Jagger's kids played in twisting his arm to get the Stones to play.

Sure Fearne Cotton and her hubby had a word in Rons ear as well.

Exact same thing happened putting them on after Barry Gibb tbf.

First gig I ever went to was in June 1975, my sister bought me a ticket for my 16th birthday...

Elton John, The Beach Boys and The Eagles...

that would do...

Might have finally have arrived at something non-controversial, realistic and interesting.

Saturday Daft Punk or Madonna

Neither of these is particularly realistic and Madonna's insistence on being a w*nker over her setlists would mean she'd flop anyway.

Ah come off it. There's a difference between pointing out that Justin Bieber - manufactured crap - is not worthy of the pyramid stage and being delusion enough to think my opinion matters at all to the Eavis's in organising the festival.

Biebers latest album is actually pretty good

[CaledonianGonzo]

I don't think anyone would have complained if The Major Lazers had wheeled him out.

Just had reliable information from a source at Glasto HQ that Usher will be co-headlining with Justin Bieber in 2019 on the Saturday night.

How long are you planning to keep this shit up for out of curiosity?

Until gates open in 2019.

I give it a week.

Despacito is a stone jam.  I'm down with it.

Fuck, if Taylor Swift is being seriously talked about to headline this thing, I don't see the issue with Bieber. 

For a start, Tay Tay spent years building up a substantial semi-credible following before she became a product of the pop machine. Even to this day she's still signed to an indie. Also she's a not a c**t.

[CaledonianGonzo]

That Glastonbury Doesn't Do Pop Music was given the lie by the eruption of joy that greeted Pezza unleashing Roar onto the masses.

[thewayiam]

Just to confirm although a whioe away that the on sale datr is likely to be Oct 7th next time?

Jerry Lee Lewis, headline the Pyramid?  Legend slot possibly... Amazingly, he is still doing gigs.

Yeah gotta love those long-since-past-it rockstars with a penchant for marrying their 13 year olds cousins. Get him booked.

The 13 year old cousin isn't an issue. Its the 5th wife he might have killed that you should be concerned with. 

One of the all time greats though. Right up there with the best. Shame he never played the farm.

depeche mode

kylie minogue

[arcade fireman]

I don't think Depeche Mode are big enough to headline. They maybe were once big enough to headline but that was a long time ago.

They haven't had an album go Gold here since 2005 and nothing has got higher than 1 x Gold disc. Compare that to even someone like the XX who may be on the cusp and they've had a Platinum record.

Very true

[Penrhos]

U2 - in an attempt to improve on the "Average performance in 2011".

Killers - after the JP performance on Sunday would get a huge crowd.

Gaga/Taylor Swift

Steve Aoki - Other stage headliner, about time Glasto got cake.

Would like Queen to make an appearance but with Eavis being a dairy farmer and the "badger cull" issue I think it'll never happen.

What about Kraftwerk - would be mental on other stage, not sure they could do Pyramid anymore?

As for Legends slot "Barry Manalow".
