Celebrating 50 years of Glastonbury by insisting the headliners are named after farmyard animals:

Foals

Drake

Lamb of God (Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs on standby)

For real though P7gs deserve a good spot, I'd love them to play on the park. Me and the other 6 fans can all write pigs on our bellies.

They're just a bit... not very good. That's all.

Wasn't commenting on their musical ability, just the idea that they may headline. 

I think what you mean is that you don't like them, not that they are 'not very good'

I know very little about drake other than his insane priced concerts and that he's acquainted with a woman who used to call him on his cell phone so my instincts say he won't do Glastonbury. Kendrick's were pretty pricey as well so I have no idea why I think he's more likely, I just think he's a bit more artsy fartsy so would be more up for being on a big bill like this and not just his own thing. Plus he's already done R&L so he's got festival form.

 

Spot on with Foals though, ignore the neysayers.

Agreed on the concert price tag thinking, but Kanye would have been a similar sort of price, yet they still got him to sign up. 

Who knows.

If you ever get worried that you're going to say the wrong amount of Pigs; say it along to the rhythm of the syllables in 'Old McDonald had a Farm' and thank me later

Just a quick comparison for 2019 headliners at this stage we were at page 421  with a total of 837 pages ...obviously now on page 438 .... what can we take from this ? people are slightly keener on radiohead lists ... and the foals discussion takes up a few more pages ... would like to have gone back further but the search function is not playing ball ...

Dark days indeed. Struggling to think of a less worthy headliner for a major festival in the past 20 years

 

Offspring, a full decade after Pretty Fly for a white guy.... oh.....

This is utterly mesmerising...

That's bloody amazing!  I'm at work but look forward to watching properly later on.

Amazing.  Jackson never pulls it back after his fall from grace in 97/98....but would we have since seen him at Worthy Farm?

No Foals or 1975 - frankly this really hasn’t helped solve anything.

But is Luis Fonsi big enough to headline?

I can't imagine he would ever have played festivals but I could be wrong.  Just doesn't seem the sort of thing he would do, his show was huge and he was a complete perfectionist and control freak when it came to his performances.

And having watched This Is It, i doubt he'd have even got through those O2 shows, let alone anything else

except that its not accurate. N Sync sells 2 million copies in one week but doesnt show up on this chart? They confused artist names for sure with their respective sales.

It's not a thesis mate, just a bit of fun.

I’d rather have Foals than RHCP.

I had a chilli con carne last night and the red hot chilli peppers were the headlining ingredient to a great meal.

Cannot remember the last time I actually listened to RHCP, but did enjoy their earlier stuff back in the day. I saw them headline Reading in 1994 and really enjoyed them and then saw them years later in Cardiff and that show didn’t leave any impression- well other that the fact they had James Brown as their support ?

They're responsible for the best modern Christmas song. I'll give them that at least.

Appalling. Much better bands lower down those orders... Weird.

And Lostprophets. Ouch. 

[jparx]

I went to that Download and it really was one of the most odd lineups I've experienced. Jonathan Davis was banging though in the tent.

[Matt42]

Got a new job. Got a new house. Got Glastonbury tickets. Got Taylor and Kendrick somewhat in the frame for Glastonbury.

Its all coming up milhouse!

What were Plain White T’s thinking taking that slot? ?

That was the year I done GCSE’s, biggest regret is not attending that year. I remember watching Bloc Party on TV.. unbelievable live act those days.

There was a massive, & I mean a massive, mosh pit for Hey There Delihah.

Shame Slipknot pulled out.

Edit: Bloc Party were brilliant. Lots of smoke kicked up from camp fires, weed & dust, the lasers were brilliant.

Edit 2: a pigeon flew into Lethal Bizzles set in NME tent & died.

Edit 3: highlight of the week...
