Are you trying to troll or are you being serious?

I’m being serious.

Im absolutely amazed anyone serious thinks that out of all the artists queuing up to headline Glastonbury 2020 that anyone thinks Taylor Swift will be one of the 3 that gets chosen.

if I’m wrong fair enough and I’ll be the first person to alllow the piss to be taken out of me. But I’m really surprised it’s a serious rumour.

No way that Billie Eilish is successful enough to headline. Dumpy's Rusty Nuts on the other hand have a new single that's a huge return to form and they deserve a shot at it.

Yeah, but it's no 'Boxhill or Bust'

Just been at an acoustic night at Pilton Working mans club. One of the acts does a cover of stairway to heaven.

i go over to Michael Eavis and say: so will we hear stairway to heaven on the farm in June?

micheal giggles

micheal: did he play stairway to heaven?

me: yes

micheal : really?

me : yes it was his second song ( me thinking, I know he murdered it but even I could recognise the track)

micheal: oh I didn’t recognise it, really? So how are you?

 

take from that what you will......

Absolutely nothing to take from that...

 

 

... but cool that you spoke to him.

If Tay doesn't play Glastonbury next year, it'll be because she chose not to, not because the festival didn't choose her.

Glasto HQ would kill to have Taylor Swift headline. She's one of the most successful singer songwriters of the millennium.

Disagree. Massively.

like I say, I’d she ends up headlining I’ll still be on those forums and I’ll be more than happy to admit I was wrong.

For me she’s not Glastonbury headliner material.

she may well be successful but I think she’d get a lukewarm reception at Glastonbury to be honest.

I 100% back you on this, totally agree. Either it’s some weird form of groupthink in this forum or I’m out of touch with music. I just don’t think she’s a credible enough artist to headline Glastonbury, especially for the 50th anniversary.

Why would you post this. It's clearly wrong and it's not even funny bait. Try harder!

She would be no different to Jay Z or Metallica or Kanye 

massive booking.

personally, I’d pass but she ticks all the boxes

Wow that’s caused quite the stir.

At the end the day it’s just an opinion.  

Taylor Swift is obviously a massive artist and if country pop music is your thing then I’m sure she’d be a good headliner. My own honest feeling is that she’s not on the level of last year’s headliners.  I know someone quoted me further up the thread saying it’s no different to signing Jay Z, Metallica it Kanye, well maybe not but they were hardly some of the most successful headliners were they?

last year was,, I think, one of the most successful headliner blends I’ve seen at Glasto. Stormzy was amazing and unique as the first grime artist to headline, and the Killers and the Cure drew on considerable wealth of experience to make two fantastic sets.

I’m just not sure Taylor Swift singing about her past relationships is quite on the same level.

I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind

Based on what tho? 

By sold albums she's way up there - and she's only been around for 14 years. More sold than Beyonce, or Jay-Z, definitely more than Mumford and Sons or Kasabian, let alone Florence and the Machine or the 1975...

If it's international appeal, there's not many artists who could land in Europe, North America or Asia and garner massive interest in her concerts... 

I don't get why you would think that. I'm not even a T. Swift fan, I find her a bit bland to be honest, but to say she's not a headliner is either trolling or rooted in some kind of will to be a contrarian.

Sorry, didn't see this post. I can see why you don't like her - and I tend to agree that her songs are pretty underwhelming - I'm not Adele fan either as all her songs seem to be about her ex-bf, but that's the thing, there seems to be millions of people who enjoy that kind of crap. She's still a headliner and the festival would love to have her - and so would 60% of the punters I'd guess.

This is just a classic case of “I don’t like them, so they shouldn’t headline”.

He has said he will be recording a new e-street album in new year so supposedly touring. If that is the case he will play a set  based on that. Did not see him in 09 at Glastonbury but did the next day in Hyde Park, the Working on a dream album was unfortunately one of his weakest so live show not his best. Saw him at IoW however and that show based around Wrecking Ball was excellent. So if he does which I think unlikely it will depend on the album quality. 

Big fan as you can see and would love to see him at Glastonbury but I think that boat has passed.

I agree. Wrecking Ball tour was brilliant, Manchester was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. I’m optimistic for the new ESB Album but I can’t see him doing Glastonbury again. I’d love to see him do an out-and-out Greatest Hits set on the Farm but yeah, I agree.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
