Reckon this journo might read efests:

"The star is the first headliner to be confirmed for Glastonbury 2020. Diana Ross will play the Sunday afternoon "legends slot", while other rumoured headliners include Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, The 1975 and Foals."

Not to fussed I'm missing out on him, he doesn't play the Beatles songs I'd like to hear fo be honest.

Fantastic news on Macca.

You don't get bigger for Glasto's 50th than a Beatle.

[Hotchilidog]

A none too shabby start to the headliner announcements and certainly worthy of the 50th anniversary. 

[Bisque]

Wouldn’t all the Beatles be better?

[chazwwe]

The facebook comments on this are sorts of weird.

Paul McCartney: the band The Beatles could’ve been.

This.

Exactly this. 

I get people who may have seen him at Glastonbury already but even they must admit on the 50th anniversary he's the perfect booking.

Slightly encouraging to the ticketless though - seems to be a few who aren't overly excited by him

Bang on. Makes the speculation all the more interesting as well on the other two who've never played

[jparx]

Also amazing that it's the first show he's announced for 2020 as well. Huge.  

[FuzzyDunlop]

Quite a lot of negative comments and people unhappy. I am worried that this voice wont be up to it, but I will be there.

Big fan of Piggies and Savoy Truffle?

maybe the rumours of Taylor and Madge are right after all?  

[chazwwe]

For real though. Kendrick/Macca/Swift is huge. Get a good trio of Lana/Noel G/? Under them and you got a very strong top 6

"We could have had Franz Ferdinand!"

Saw him at the O2 last year and his voice was fine.

[wro_lap]

Has everyone’s mum heard of Paul McCartney?

Just checked and mine has. Looks like he’s big enough to headline.

Reg would have been bigger, imo. Fleetwood Mac would also have been bigger.

But I get your point. He’s a huge name.

Snowflakes and Boomers apparently.....

In seriousness  we could have had The Stones, Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac and people would still have been unhappy.

My nan knows him, I remember last year when I told her I was seeing him she said "I always liked him. I didn't like that John Lennon though, he was such a rude man!"

Mostly teenagers & mid-twenty types who don’t have tickets on the fb chat/group.

I’m not fussed but not going to make a comment saying it’s a crap booking if it’s not what I like. Hate out weighs love on social media these days. Let them worry about their £3k holiday to Ibiza.
