I think it's more so they don't want to and don't feel thwy should accept less than headline slots where they play. Plus if the likes of Victorious, IOW, Download when they play, Creamfields and SW4 will give them that slot then they'll take it. I think Glasto Other has probably been down to money but I reckon if offered it next year more so than this they'd take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that all makes sense, I guess fingers crossed they accept again - if not this year then next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I guess maybe it could be Disclosure for the Friday? Doubt they'd wanna clash them with Orbital though if they are headlining WH that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to their 2016 set and loved it (maybe due to party enhancers), so would be at any stage they play whatever the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they played since '09? I really enjoyed that set! Haven't checked out the album yet, will have to give it a go. The single 6Music always play sounds suspiciously like Ghost Town at the beginning if I'm not mistaken ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadpheasant Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 What was the consensus on Tame Impala? I remember last year Kevin Parker mentioned in an interview that he'd love the chance to headline a stage at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the quote was that he was talking to his manager about where they’d play if they next played Glastonbury, discussed headlining the Other Stage but ultimately had a taste of the Pyramid and wants more.

Headlining other is the only placed they'd fit but I guess this year there are better candidates which is a shame as I'd love them.

Gucci Piggy Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 23 hours ago, metallimuse said: Aren't the Chemical Brothers headlining All Points East, where The Strokes are ALSO headlining? Therefore, by your logic... They're headlining one festival that The Strokes are headlining. The Strokes headline every festival they play, all over the world, including many festivals as big as Glastonbury. Chemical Brothers don't headline anything anywhere near the size of Glastonbury. You won't find them headlining anything bigger than APE. That's like me saying Solange couldn't headline Glastonbury and you replying "Didn't Solange headline Latitude last year, where The Killers ALSO headlined? Therefore, by your logic.... " Just because two acts headline the same festival, doesn't mean one is as big as the other. It's quite clear Chemical Brothers aren't as viable a Glastonbury headliner as The Strokes are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not gonna be headlining the Pyramid so if they wanna play, as I guess they would, then Other Stage is the most likely by far. And what they have on other candidates for that slot is no other UK festival shows, just like when they played in ‘16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tame Impala had been offered Other stage headliner then would the Wolf Alice info not suggest that they had turned it down? I'd be surprised if they went for Wolf Alice ahead of Tame Impala. I guess it's still possible that they could end up playing, especially since they seem to be ruled out of everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett_Salas Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Looking on the APE forum it seems that it's likely to be Mumfords on that last day there, which would have fit Tame Impala perfectly. It is a bit curious that they have no UK festivals or even shows up yet - how many more biggish festivals are there still to announce? TRNSMT? Lovebox/Citadel (They played last year).

Yeah I thought about this before and I reckon it's possible they went for Wolf Alice first if the bookers were intending to push another up and coming (I know they've been around for a while but had a big boost recently) British act, with that recent Mercury Prize coming into the thinking too.

Gucci Piggy Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Wolf Alice are probably also cheaper so maybe they would see them as a better value option? Dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 The quote from Kevin Parker about headlining Other was from last summer though wasn't it? I know things probably aren't as linear as this but given the Wolf Alice info didn't appear until much later in the year it would make more sense for them to have approached Tame Impala first.
