They've said in the past that they'd be willing to play, seem to have their reunion dates pretty well embargoed (unless they're not happening at all), and, depending on how you look at it, could fit either description of never played before or in prolonged negotiations. Just a thought, given that we're still really in the dark here. Yeah AC/DC is an outside possibility I guess. Would definitely require extra room in the pyramid field and satisfy a lot of people. Kendrick Lamar AC/DC Taylor Swift would be a very strong trio. Maybe Aerosmith don’t mind subbing AC/DC?

Add in the other stage with decent headliners and it would be an incredible 50th! Oh, and add in beans on toast on the Avalon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've been rumoured for Graspop which is the weekend before Glastonbury and as you say, fit both descriptions for our headliners.

Matt42 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) @SomeoneListeningIn I think you’ve actually put forward a really good shout there. A really big headliner that would require prolonged negotiation etc. Also it’s not guns and Roses which is great!

mufcok Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I'd be surprised if the 1975 headlined the Pyramid, going off Emily's comments. Obviously they aren't 1 of the 2 as they've played before (I'm taking the quote as two acts who've never played the festival at all) and I can't imagine they'd be negotiating; I think they'd jump at the chance to headline.

In my opinion it didn't, I thought it was poor and didn't look good on tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Stormzy's bigger-than-the-cure crowd demonstrates he was a suitable headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
