Without necessarily wanting to whack the hornets nest (okay, I kind of do), now that Foals have been announced as not-even-first-on-the-headline-line for Kendal Calling, I think that "yes they are definitely big enough to headline Glastonbury's 50th" argument has probably been put to bed.

Good few weeks of civil war fun though, eh

Doesn’t their placement on the poster just suggest they’re the Sunday headliners?

Still though... headlining Kendal Calling, where bands go to admit defeat.

It was a nice few months of thinking Foals might be able to pull it back (cue Gazza popping up promptly to say they were never gonna pull it back and he was right all along).

Wiley...? The whole Stormzy vs. Wiley thing going on right now feels like a publicity stunt to me. Could be like a year apart battle. Who can do the Friday night Pyramid UK Grime headline slot the best? Or could he do a similar Other sub slot as Stormzy 2017 and Dave did. 

Wiley is the biggest pile of shite I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing.

I think the lineup looks decent, but it does have an air of once you have headlined Kendal calling you are not going up anymore, I am not sure why that is ??

Foals misheard headline 15th anniversary headline slot and agreed excitedly before realising they didn't say 50th.

Everybody knows Emily only goes to the gigs of acts she’s buttering up for Glastonbury so we can add Madonna as a TBC for 2021 right here and now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Are they big enough for the Other Stage?

Quite. Similar vibes to her gushing Kendrick post last year.

For sure. Will be rammed and going off, no matter who they're up against.

Lest we forget Alt-J did it only a few years back (!)

Whooosh.

You’d be gutted if you were still in the bar as she came on...

I know that festival cannot and should not place any mandates over what their artists actually perform up on stage, but surely any booking of Madge has to be on the understanding that she brings the hits.

I wonder what emily was doing during that show ? posting on instagram ?  ... what bits of it did she enjoy ?

If she brings that shit she'll have an empty field for her encore.

no chance that Kendrik has fallen through and she's going for Madge for 2020 ? ... has she been ruled out by her dates ? 

[august1]

It would be the ultimate we'll give her one more song and if its not a hit..

[Memory Man]

2020 is clearly booked by now but maybe madge could be in the frame for 2021

or alternatively emily is using her industry connections to get to see a living legend in a reasonably sized london theatre for free. not like this stuff happens every day.

Just imagine standing up on that stage knowing that you have Like A Virgin, Hung Up, Holiday, Express Yourself, Papa Don’t Preach, Material Girl, Ray of Light and plenty more in your arsenal... then choosing not to break any of them out.

[WestCountryGirl]

At least she opened with Vogue. Whenever I consider the possibility of Madge headlining Glasto I just can't imagine anything better to start the set than that.

She'd have an empty field by the middle of the set. Reckon it would rival the Great Mumford Migration of 2013

[henry bear]

Her European tour ends in March and seemingly has no dates beyond that

Apparently the gig started an hour late so "Act I" was cut to meet the curfew. Act I contained God Control, Dark Ballet, Human nature and Express Yourself (A Capella) the night before.

It sounds like Act I being cut just saved the audience a little more pain (and no bangers)

A blessing in disguise?
