Because only a setup of such grandeur would do justice to such a high point in Glastonbury, nay, musical, nay again, human history

I think it was symbolic of how we all look down on such garbage music ?

The last Glastonbury dream I had was a few weeks ago. The book arrived. The middle pages had a picture of me in it with "DO NOT LET HIM IN" across the top.

I was then trying to get in the festival (which was walking distance away for some reason) & they wouldn't let me in.

That's kinda terrifying.

Anybody had a dream about whether or not the Foals are big enough to headline?

Some people just want to watch the world burn

A had a dream a few weeks ago that Lizzo and Foals were booked as co-headliners. Lizzo then came round to my place and we drank some tequila to celebrate and discussed what she was doing to do for her set. 

Need to stop eating Stilton before bedtime.

My dreams are usually a garbled mess so I can't remember it all, but Hard Fi opened, then Ordinary Boys. The Pyramid also had weird amphitheatre seating?

Big enough: Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Band of Horses.

Not big enough: Foals, New Young Pony Club.

I did have a dream Coldplay headlined. But it was quite pleasant, I ran into Chris Martin and he said to me "I'm going to change your mind about Coldplay" and he didnt but he seemed really nice.

I've only just listened once, but that Coldplay songs 'I wanna know where I can get drunk with my friends.... something something about coming home' - Absolutely made to be pumping out the Pyramid Stage in 2020.

I still quite like them, and really enjoyed them in 2016, but every few years is getting annoying.

That said, not got a ticket.

Where do people think Foals and 1975 will play IF they play?

Oh man, this one keeps coming up.

Neil's current leaning is Foals to sub the Pyramid with a possible bump to headliner depending on what pans out.

If 1975 play I think it's generally agreed (if not popular) that they'd headline.

Taylor Swift on social media uses some interesting words: 

"I said in an interview 13 years ago "I'm just hoping that I have a second album that does as well as the first & someday get to be a HEADLINER, & always be the same person that I started out as.” Scrolling through your posts has me feeling all the feelings & I want to thank you."

"Because of you, there was a 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th and 7th album. You guys made me into a HEADLINER because you wanted to see me play. And your support all these years is what’s helped me stay true to that kid I was when I started out."

Will they ever book a bigger trio than U2 / Coldplay / Beyoncé?

 

I don't think it's possible.

Martin has to be a good 70/80 Courics.

Most of my dreams are weird and slightly disturbing.

In my opinion Neil Young/Bruce Springsteen/Blur is the biggest trio of headliners in my 10 years at the festival, but I suppose it depends on our measure of big. U2/Coldplay/Beyonce certianly sell records, they sell out bit venues etc but in terms of "star power" I think Bruce trumps them, with Neil being the "credible/vintage icon" and Blur being the comeback kings.

I guessed, that's why I gave you a proper answer!  Those of us that have actually followed this thread couldn't in any good conscience advise anyone new to wade through it all

U2, Coldplay, Beyoncé looks stronger now that they are three acts which other festivals have no chance at getting on their lineup. 
 

Muse, Adele, Coldplay is close. That’s three bona fide stadium acts there.

[Thunderstruck]

Coldplay with a new double album. Fingers crossed for me as they are a banker, put on a great show, reminds me of being young etc etc.

Thought they announced they would be in Europe in 2020? No dates but pretty sure they confirmed that. Might have dreamt it

Nothing on ten club that really comfirms that... Just lots of rumours.. Imo Eddie's been doing to much solo stuff for them to have even got down to the nitty gritty of doing a new album.. But hey ten was done in ten days or less so who knows..

Disagree, think this was based more on your musical opinion of the artists (I love both Bruce, Blur and Neil too.)

What do you mean by star power?

 

EDIT - this actually come across as quite snobby and I apologise, but I think to say they sell out venues, records etc is probably a bigger factor than you’re making it out to be
