Haven't read all of this topic. Actually, none of this topic.

But Kendrick Lamar - Paul McCartney - Taylor Swift then ey?

All based on next to nothing really though. Swift makes sense with dates (and the likely booking of a female headliner), Kendrick isn't based on anything much as far as I know and McCartney just on comments from him/Michael.

It’s more like ‘best of the names we’ve heard’. Working objectively, there is no reason to keep Kendrick Lamar and drop Aerosmith from that single rumour.

I guess. Subjectively that for me is probably the best trio we could hope for (if they give me someone somewhere else on the Sunday). I don't think Kendrick will happen coz of dollar, I can't trust the Macca rumour (the Glastonbury one, not the Paul is dead one) because of last year though.

We're gonna go round in circles with nothing to go on and find out the line-up the same as everyone else in the world. And then we'll do it again next year. 

Bothers me how much I enjoy it to be honest.

We'll get some indication soon I think. Lots of knowledgeable and connected users here, and the big man himself Neil, so I'd imagine we'll have an idea in the coming months. 

If Macca didn't pull out last year, we'd have known all the headliners for 2019 well before they were announced!

Huh, never noticed that. Any idea what made them change weekend? (i.e. do they have a reason or could it be miving for a large headliner ir something?)

I think it's normally the weekend after Glastonbury. They moved to the same weekend in 2015 for Foo Fighters and I'm sure I read that they moved last year because it clashed with the Tour de France, but other than that I think it's usually the first weekend in July.

I'd love this!

But the guy on pearljam.com who seems to know his stuff is dismissing it:

Really can't imagine that Taylor Swift will be the headliner to close the 50th anniversary of Glastonbury. Am I right in thinking she's performing elsewhere on the Friday and Saturday?

The 51st still sells out even if they have Jedward announced to close the Pyramid.

As much as they’ll celebrate it and they’ll pull some names out the bag, I think the punters put more glamour on the fact it’s the fiftieth than the Eavii.

I hope it is real.

Pearl Jam, Macca and Taylor Swift would be magical

Yeh, this definitely excites me more than the other names floating around. And a very big rock slot indeed!!! (Although presumably one that would occur at headliner time!)

I started the PJ murmurings last week on here and even I think this is bollox, unless they want to play the East car park on Wednesday

[Brave Sir Robin]

It might seem strange but it's not unusual for tour dates to list the first day of a festival rather than the actual date the act is playing. Note they've put 2nd July for Werchter, which is also the first day of the festival.

That was pointed out earlier, which I hadn’t noticed when I posted, but it was also pointed out that it may be just be the start date of Glastonbury and not the specific day, so who knows

The dates in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam (6/18 and 6/20) would put them on both before and after Eric Clapton (playing 6/19), which I suppose is theoretically possible but would make no sense at all.

So I'm going with fake.

Not all that unusual, Queen are doing the O2 on June 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 9th and Barry Manilow is playing there on the 4th so could easily be possible

Fucking hell would actually die of excitement if it was Pearl Jam.

Thanks in advance for the disappointment-induced coronary

So you’ll die either way? And I thought PJ were all about still being... alive?

time for this ungodly sight to be brought back into the eFestivals realm.

Dammit, yes I do! But at least one way will be happy. (Good PJ pun tho)

I'm not doubting Pearl Jams credentials but out of curiosity is there many on here who have kept up with all their output since they exploded in the 90s?

Should they be lined up to headline the Pyramid (which I just can’t see happening), I suspect they’ll not be playing to a capacity audience for the duration.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm familiar with their song about a Porch

[Hugh Jass]

I know Alive and that one that was on the GTA San Andreas (Even Flow I think) but that's as far as my Pearl Jam knowledge extends.
