2020 headliners

[chazwwe]

Honeslty, I think Coldplay opening the pyramid would be fantastic way to start the weekend.

People suggesting a legitimate headliner opening the pyramid as being a “fantastic way to start the weekend” is absolutely brill. Keep it up guys!

Kendrick, Taylor booked, Macca still in discussions. Other stage: foals, 1975, Noel Gallagher.

None of those Other stage acts will be Other stage I would doubt. It's a poor set for 2020 imo but I think most of use believe they'll smash it out due to occasion whereas it ultimately comes down to who is free and says yes to play....the 50th to many probably is just one more year, it's still going to be aired on tv.

Perfect opportunity for a lie in.

Not mentioned before I think, but she just appeared on my random playlist so I looked up what she's doing these days...

*** Alanis Morissette ***

To quote from her Wikipedia page:
In June 2019, Morissette went into studio in Los Angeles. She said that she had written all the songs, and "Smiling" will be included on the new album, likely to be released in early 2020.^[82] On August 8, 2019, Morissette revealed that the new album is produced by Alex Hope and Catherine Marks.

Obvs not a headliner but a good shoe-in for a late sunny afternoon slot.

Arctic Monkeys instead of Noel

Madonna instead of Macca

I'd be well pleased with Arctic Monkeys and Noel. People saying The Foals/1975 aren't big enough to headline? The Arctic Monkeys headlined with just one (admittedly hugely massive at the time) album to their name. (I know nothing of The Foals or 1975's music).

Would prefer Macca over Madonna but again fantasy festival line-up brain wants both, even though I'm not particulary a fan of Madonna.

Wouldn't it just. Traditionally though, isn't The Other Stage the place that starts things off on the Friday?

Would possibly be the best opener since The Hives (Get Me A Ladder) opened (but didn't Beady Eye play unannounced first? If so, I'm not counting them).

I wasn't particularly a Coldplay fan, but that whole wristband, and bringing on Barry Gibb, and doing Stayin' Alive thing they did absolutely slayed me... (I grew up with Saturday Night Fever).

We've big expectations as it's The 50th haven't we.

I've recently dug out and have been wearing my 40th anniversary T-Shirt.

We had big expectaions a decade ago didn't we.

And looking at the back of said T-Shirt. That was a great fucking line up.

I'd be well happy with that amounts of acts I like again. Can't believe it'll have been ten years since Slash played (to a half deserted field 'cause England v Germany).

Can we have a T-Shirt that glows in the dark again please?

so now we await a report from @Brave Sir Robin think he was in attendance tonight ?  or do we look for any updates to the playlist ?  

A lovely event, on which I will report in another thread, but the discussion never went anywhere near headliners for next year.

She did reference Neil Young  (& Dylan) among headliners of significance to her family, but without any hint he may be reappearing.

Madonna’s way too expensive and her performance at Eurovision didn’t go down well. Why do you think she’ll play?

Emily has said she wants her, she is touring so is ready, she understands British culture so may recognise the importance over pay, Emily stopped following her on Instagram to throw us off the scent.

 Ok my reasoning gets less and less sane but you get the gist 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Madonna's Madame X setlists are still mainly fan only affairs.

[FloorFiller]

Only way I can see Madonna popping up is in either a guest appearance with another headliner (possibly performing two or three of her own songs along with whoever she’s on with) or even some Coachella like mini set. Was championing her for headliner myself, but her fees + constant new album heavy setlists just make it seem unlikely she’d do a full festival headline set (at Glastonbury, at least).

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Madonna will play the hits if she headlines Glastonbury. She gets it, that’s how she became Madonna. Ignore recent set lists.

IF (big if, might’ve already proven to be bollocks) that guy talking about a Taylor/Madonna collab was on to something, then this certainly seems like the most likely outcome. Though the chances of Madge shoehorning a new song of hers in to the set seems pretty likely.

Favourite Worst Nightmare came out 2 months before they headlined...

They need to get Fatboy Slim to open the Pyramid , as part of his playing every stage thing. Not a huge fan (plus I, er, don't actually have a ticket), but that would be great fun and go down a storm.

So has there been any discussion  on above article?

If it’s true that they have some very big Other stage headliners next year, would this not confirm the lineup being even more special for 50th?

Could Foals be a pyramid sized headliner that actually headline the Other?

Also why do I still care about the lineup, when I didn’t manage to get tickets and so not going?

So early in the morning and so many questions that need answering

Really like that idea.

Madonna is not playing. That's not something that happens in real life.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They said the same about the Stones doing a Mick Taylor-assisted Can You Hear Me Knocking.

Even this story features a special guest appearance from Chris Martin!

Emily said the following in that interview, has this been picked up on before? Two "new" headliners are already booked.

“But you know the rest of the stuff is really great and for us, it’s amazing after kind of 50 years to be able to almost pick and kind of choose who you want and who – and in a way interestingly actually the two that we’ve booked have not done the festival before and I don’t know if now that creates…I hope now you don’t narrow it down and guess!”

we know she wants Madonna and she is touring, anyone got the odds on her? I reckon it’s nailed on.

Glastonbury isn’t real life, it’s a little slice of Heaven

Fatboy used to be my absolute fave mainstream DJ, but I recently saw him in Singapore and utter dogshit would be too kind a description.  He was absolutely dialling it in, obviously not playing live, totally awful.  I think his time has been and well and truly gone, unfortunately.

And relax.

There's no Glastonbury-shaped hole in Westlife's stadium tour.
