You mean this one - https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/bob-dylan-neil-young-hyde-park-london-12-07-2019/event/3700557ABA30A0EC

It's no longer a BST event as Neil YOUNG doesn't like the main sponsor - Barclays. It's going ahead but not promoted as BST

How come? 

Just not one of the acts that I've heard is in the mix

Gaga is one that’s been mentioned here. The Who possibly. Madge is an outside bet, she’s touring next year so could end up at a festival somewhere.

Celine Dion. July 5th. Only European show of 2019.

That's a little disappointing. Hoping they've still got something special left to announce

[Chef]

That is really disappointing, was she even being talked about?

That was unexpected, I personally didn’t see her mentioned at all. Surely the next will be a rock act

Pretty sure someone dropped a hint earlier in this thread.

Wouldn't count on it

[R Shah]

Do we think, like the 2nd weekend, theyll announce the final two headliners on this Friday and Monday (in the next week)

there's a decent chance announcements will come this week or next week, just because they'd be timed to hit people's pay days.

Hoping for Red Hot Chili Peppers/Arctic Monkeys.

15 year return of their huge Hyde Park shows. Would love to see that. But didn‘t someone rule them out a few pages before?

People have been suggesting IOW as well. I don't see why they can't do both though, perhaps unlikely as I reckon theyll do 1 as a European exclusive or something.

The Strokes have got to be in with a minor shout although Latitude seems way more likely at this point.

Radiohead as a dark horse?

They wouldn’t do both because rival companies promote each festival.

Radiohead won’t play, Thom Yorke is touring solo.

The Strokes aren’t gonna play, they played a few years ago and it didn’t sell great. Might sell a bit better nowadays but they haven’t done anything since to warrant coming back.

It’ll probably be oldies or pop acts from here on out. That’s mostly what the festival is now aside from the odd exception. You should be less excited about it imo.

Yup, the organisers seem to know these days exactly who they want to market to and what will sell. As you say, it's mostly heritage rock acts and pop megastars, with a little sideline in older pop acts - Buble, Dion, etc.

Any chance of KOL? Playing FiB in spain and I'm not really sure where they'd play over here, don't think they'd take a gig at Kendal or one of the smaller fests and no space for them elsewhere?

Rize and TRNSMT have space.

Thought they'd have a Scottish date and an English one and I'd have grouped Rize with the smaller fests. Maybe they would take smaller fests, they haven't done anything noteworthy in a while

[dentalplan]

They played BST on this album tour. And an outdoor date in Glasgow for that matter. I think they’re just picking up the last couple of festivals they can on this tour - R+L last year showed they’ll happily boot it over to Europe for the odd festival date.

Nope

The Strokes with Bloc Party subbing is what I'm hoping for
