Honeybane Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think we are going to get Taylor and 2 complete surprises Kasabian (unfortunately) have a new album coming out next year FYI A LOT can happen in a few months (The National and Massive attack for the Other!)

a6l6e6x Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 There's never been a year of me going where I would love to watch all the pyramid headliners. 1975, EJ and Tay Tay would all be fairly high priority watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsbyuk Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) My guess is that Saturday night should be party night so Taylor Swift will play then. To end the festival, on the Sunday, the band they've been trying to bag for decades - Fleetwood Mac. And the Friday should start with a bang so I'd have Half Man, Half Biscuit (or, if they're not available, Arctic Monkeys). Elton as the legend is nailed on as far as I'm concerned (90 mins slot of hit after hit) and Coldplay opening the Pyramid stage on Friday lunchtime. Pretty sure there's not a cat-in-hell's chance of Kasabian ever headlining again. Their popularity is on the wane. Also, wouldn't Swifty playing BST be classed as her gig, rather than a festival? I thought she was playing festivals only? Edited October 7, 2019 by swelsbyuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re finishing their 18/19 tour next month, seems unlikely they’ll get back in the road so soon in 2020. They won’t play one offs. Half their touring band are going back to their day jobs. I’m being pedantic here (and I’m not a huge FM fan particularly) but that does say ‘finale to their 2018-19 tour’. They could start up again in 2020.

JoeyT Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Surely Elton is to big for the Legend slot? Would be absolutely rammo for it. Probably even more so than Dolly, Lionel and Kylie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Doug85 said: The other thing that adds to the Swift rumour is that i'm sure she was spotted at this years festival, must have been scouting it like Adele did. The gap in her tour dates for next year could be so she can attend as a regular festival goer again. Did she manage to get a ticket yesterday? She’s also rumoured to be doing Sziget next year but they’re not sure if they can afford her. If it comes down to Glasto only being able to afford FM or Swift I hope they go for FM.

I am getting the Taylor Swift references.... I have been on here too long!! That's the 2nd best tune on that album after Lover in my opinion. Very nice.

ogriff Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I might be overestimating their popularity (as I don't much care for them), but having a band as big as Coldplay open the pyramid when there is no competition on other stages is a recipe for starting the festival with a horrendous crush...

Think you're overestimating it. Everyone is sick to the back teeth of Christ Martin, and there was competition on the Friday this year (Tame Impala on the OT was incredible.

windy_miller Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 After playing with every single act on the Pyramid Stage this year, Chris Martin should be banned from next year's festival. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be speculation as it’s known she’s doing a lot of festivals next year. A lot of last year’s commercial festival acts did Glastonbury in 2017. Similar headliners, I can’t see Glasto having the same headliners that are doing R&L, Sziget etc in 2020. They normally seem to do something different to the usual bands on the festival circuit.

Been a bit of overlap with Sziget, historically. I don't think that factors in much. Though yes they don't tend to share headliners with R&L - they're the two biggest festivals in the country, it'd be daft if they did.

MaxPower Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think if Fleetwood aren't playing, Emily should squash the rumours (no pun intended) and nip it in the bud ASAP - every person I know going will be devastated if they aren't playing, so better to get that out of the way.
