2020 headliners

[nikkic]

You’d think he’d have learnt after bashing The Killers last year. 

Still eating humble pie on that one .

[ThomJG]

I don’t want to have to go in hard on the Foals defence again, last time was stressful, but I will if there’s too much more bashing! ?What went down is a popular one as well

Soz no.  Wake Up is easily available by osmosis. Wouldn't be able to hum My Number with a gun at my temple.

Of all the totally subjective things that have ever been discussed on efestival, the relative reach of one song "into the wider community, beyond the measure of top singles and the fan base" compared to another has to be up there. How do you know?

[Matt42]

Would Arcade Fire headline Glastonbury again?

[CaledonianGonzo]

When you're roasting Foals and the responses start playing the man and not the ball

I'd say My Number is definitely more well known in the UK than any Arcade Fire songs. Maybe Mountain At My Gates too.

Really? In Belgium pretty much everyone will recognize Everything Now.

The rumours Matt42 just started. He’s worried himself.

He does that a lot.

I don't see why not, if The Cure can headline multiple times and they're not threatening rafts of new headliners. Alas, they appear not to be touring next summer so I'm not sure it's a relevant subject right now.

the Belgians know what's up, hell yeah

[Mash011]

am I remembering wrong or was it pretty widely speculated after their last performance that Coldplay would be back in 4 years for the 50th? were y'all just taking the piss back then?

Aren’t they too busy listening to the Editors?

She's been desperately trying to sell them over he last few months .... getting in mentions left right and centre ... it might annoy the farm though .. but if they say they'll be there there's a possibility

The feel like the sort of act that do it once and exist as a curio. Of course it’s impossible to rule them out headlining again 10-20 years from now, but the lukewarm reception to the last album makes me wonder if they’ve had their time at the top table.

I think they would headline the Other Stage or sub the Pyramid if they are playing 

[Mash011]

Arcade Fire in the 'won't play if they can't headline, so they just won't play' space for the foreseeable future.

[Amy Lawn]

And the last tour was still big comfortably big enough for a headline sized band, even if the album was shit.

[Mash011]

that last tour was fucking incredible tbh. one of my favourite gigs ever. Arcade Fire on top form playing a packed setlist, Florence out of nowhere bringing the house down with Dog Days, then when you think they can't have more surprises they bring out Boy George (??????) and do Karma Chameleon, then everyone comes back on and packs out the stage to do Wake Up together. I know Glastonbury won't book them again any time soon but there's no way that band settles for lower slots at festivals.

[nikkic]

Yeah last tour was off the chain. Best gig I’ve ever been to. 

I’d love to see them headline again but think it’s a few years and a couple more albums away, if at all. 

[dentalplan]

If we're hankering to talk about acts that headlined in 2014 who peeps don't think will headline again but probably will; Kasabian might actually be touring next year.

Get loose get loose.

That’s one of your IOW headliners sorted then.

I expect they would if they were asked nicely
