I don’t think they’d be doing it for the Glastonbury money. Agree it’s unlikely but just keep half an eye out for those lemons ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need the money but might feel they have unfinished business with the festival. I reckon they would just need to talk the fella in the Brazil top in to it and it could be on. Keep an eye on the webcam for a lemon tree. Wahey! the Roses and Glastonbury suggestion has arrived. I feared we'd miss this annual discussion of something that is never going to happen. Glastonbury 2020 feels that bit closer now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Finn Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Unless I am missing something quite significant from the various interviews this week, I can't deduce anything from Emily's recent comments that completely rules out Macca. She clearly stated the two headliners which are booked have not played before. The third could, of course, still be either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing they have in common is their artistic peak has been in the last decade which admittedly puts them in a minority of headliners but the idea they should book one or the other as they appeal to the same crowd is laughable. The Killers and The Cure have way more in common with each other than Kendrick and Taylor. I am yes and obviously I though they had more crossover appeal than they do so I'm incorrect on that front. And yes you are probably correct about The Killers and The Cure although The Killers I believe were a fill in?, can't imagine The Cure were first choice either.

Yes there should be strong representation of contemporary culture, but there should be a good nod to the past as well. The two don't have to be at odds with each other and it can all coexist. Two of my highlights from '16 were Chris and Art Garfunkel. That's the beauty of it. You have to accept that whatever angle you come at it from, there's always a good chunk of the fanbase who want the opposite. And it's all good and beautiful and we love it all! Completely agree it should cater to all. I just believe headliners should be paving for the future. I personally get tired of the yearly trend of hopes for indie bands/90s reunions with the likes of Pulp, Blur, Stone Roses, Oasis(with both Liam and Noel still going and taking up big spots) etc. Where as we have a chance of getting 2 brand new headliners of 2 completely different styles and people want to bring up that they shouldn't do it because their fan cross over is too much or its too commercialised, completely forgetting that in the 90s those bands were always on the top of the charts.

Hard hat on .... Persoanlly Alright isn't my favourite song of his, probably not even top 5. I think Kendrick comes off as a whole, there's not too many single songs that I would show people because it comes off so much more real on a live performance. If you're not a fan of hip hop its not going to be for you, but god damn I love this performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenInchToenaiIs Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I can't believe in 2020 we're gonna have kendrick lamar, Rage against the machine and Taylor Swift headlining the Pymild stage. What a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still up and down vote posts? If, as someone said earlier, they've been in negotiations over the summer for the 3rd headliner, I can't see it being The 1975 or Foals as, logically, they'd jump at it. I like mention of Pulp, by the same notion couldn't it fall to Blur? Unlikely though. I really did think it was going to be McCartney or Elton John.

Matt42 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I’m gonna be respectful and say that everyone is entitled to their criticisms of Kendricks music. I personally think Alright is a fantastic song which has a real clear message - there’s a lot to pick out from it under close examination. I think what I worded awfully earlier was not that I think Glasto is for the young people - but that Glasto is at its best when it’s reflected important music for the current generation. Like Britpop and Glasto in the 90s was special because it was putting an important musical movement on the largest stage in the world. Right now Hip hop’s resurgence (if you can really call it that) is massive. It’s probably the biggest genre of music that has benefitted by the streaming generation as it’s appeal has now broadened substantially. The Hip Hop scene has produced some incredibly exciting acts which have headlined festivals all over the world - this is kinda a debate in its own but rap stars are the new rock stars. Get past the cringe and I think this video explains the issue quite well. Hip hop is an exciting genre at the moment that should get its place on a huge stage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
