2020 headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or it could be that the bookies and papers who're talking about groups - when a male solo act has been confirmed by the festival - are the ones in the wrong.

It's funny how Kendrick Lamar isn't really mentioned outside of this forum, not by the bookies, papers, other forums etc. They're all talking about Guns 'n' Roses, 1975, Arctics and a few others.

Now, I know Neil has a fantastic track record and the bookies...err... don't.  Fully aware of all that.

BUT, I'm just not really feeling this one, at no point has it seemed to me that people are right about KL for some reason, and not just because I'm not a fan.

So who else fits Emily’s clues then ?

They're probably not any more, haven't checked for a while as I don't bet, but I still get articles all the time on my news feed and it seemed to me that only this forum was talking about KL.

Erm... All it says in that article is that the other headliner is male. Very very far from a confirmation of anything.

It confirms it's not a band, as per your post.

Must be Kendrick then, only person it could be 😂

Look, this wasn't supposed to start an argument, just my opinion. I'm not even saying it isn't him, it very well could be.

But, we don't know it's him and even if it was him we don't know it's still him so my personal feeling is that people shouldn't be assuming it's him.

Or maybe I'm still annoyed that people on here insisted that Orbital were playing last year, even after the lineup poster came out

They'll be there this year, hopefully on Sunday night. Otherwise I'm gonna lose it!

It's him mate and I wouldn't think too much more about it.

Just look at his tour schedule if you're still unconvinced for some reason.

No one's saying he's confirmed. Just he's way more likely than any bands these other forums are talking about.

I am largely convinced - but to be fair his tour schedule is the one thing that puts a small doubt in my mind.

The BBC article when Taylor was announced said Kendrick was expected to be the final headliner

Friday's headliner is still to be revealed but festival organiser Emily Eavis recently said it would be a male artist, playing the festival "for their first time".

Many Glastonbury-watchers expect the slot to be taken by US rapper Kendrick Lamar.

Edit: just read the following comments and this isn't really relevant, ignore 😂

He was great with Hot Chip on t’other stage in 2008

I seen him after Liam Gallagher on Other. Bloke was just talking shite over some guy pressing play on a cd deck. At least play an instrumental and rap over that.

I am a bit apprehensive in regards to criticising artists as 99% of them are better than me. Yet I am a better dj and can scratch better thsn anyrhing than Wiley could serve up. Reckon I could produce better using Ableton and Behringer synths.

He was the biggest pile of shite I have ever had the misfortune of listening to. I would rather listen to a Scouser do the frog chorus with a sore throrat.

While everyone is questioning Kendrick - found this on the Sziget thread

2/17 is the US date for 17th of February - would explain why Sziget is holding back so long too..? Was there ever anything to rule out Eminem??

Hes a racist, homophobic bigot, I hope that would rule him out.

And more than that, that fucking excuse of a beard. 

That's the bigger crime.

What better choice for the first post-Brexit headliner?

Kendrick was the odds-on favourite on Paddy Power, before they closed the market.

like 1/4 or something ridiculous like that.

Why him in particular though? Somebpody must have something more concrete than "Male and hasn't played Glasto before" to make him favourite? Bookies don't just work on complete guesswork.
