2020 headliners

Oh yeah I don’t presume to know! But there’s evidence to suggest it was them. For example Elton was about to announce his three year final tour which would end in June 2020, and Fleetwood Mac simply needed so much convincing and negotiating that they had to book three years in advance. But could have been other maybe someone they had to convince to reform

50th doesn't change too much unless you are somebody who cares. Macca was supposedly due to play last year. He would've been a bigger headliner than anybody who will play the 50th. It simply isn't as simple as, this year we'll get Fleetwood Mac instead of The 1975. As @Hugh Jass says, it still comes down to availability. Some artists rate Glasto as the be all and end all, others see it as another gig.

My prediction:

We spend the next few weeks arguing about who is / isn't big enough or should / shouldn't appear based on whether they are "right" for the festival, musically brilliant but a bit of a dick, or past it / not proven enough.

The first acts gets announced and we spend the next couple of months re-stating all of the above points but now about someone specific.

Repeat until June.

We all go, have a wonderful time, and find that most of us who were most vocal about headliners had no plans to go anywhere near the Pyramid anyway.

Reset for 2021.

Anybody reckons Foals would do it over The 1975 is more out of touch that Hall and Oats.

The 1975 are a bigger band on paper but - to most folk - it’s much of a muchness. Foals would likely actually be more popular among Glastonbury clientele because their fans are, on average, a little older and their booking wouldn’t provoke a strongly negative reaction.

The 1975 look nailed on to me.

Their manager seemed to indicate that they weren’t booked about two weeks ago.

Three commercially and critically successful albums, another one due next year, sell out arenas with ease, recently headlined Reading/Leeds....

The above applies to both Kendrick and The 1975, yet for some reason people have no problem with the idea of one headlining but not the other.

Also Fall Out Boy.

Yeah because we're all snobs and one is a generation defining artist and the other is a kiddie band.

The elephant in the room with regards to Kendrick could be the fee, which I assume would be considerably lower than he has become accustomed to.

Wasn't he the highest paid artist to headline R/L?

I think so yeah. Saying that, I'm sure Emily went to see him when he toured last year, so you would think they're keen to get him. I suggested Foals, Kendrick and Elton a couple of weeks ago but I think Foals, Kendrick and Fleetwood Mac would be a good set of headliners. With those three you've got a big British band who will go down well with the Glastonbury crowd, the most critically acclaimed artist of this decade and a legendary act they've wanted for years.

If we assume Macca won't be there due to solid info ruling him out/refuse to get hopes again after last years heartbreak, Kendrick is the best headliner we could possibly hope for.

Does his interview on radio 2 the other day not change things?

Maybe. As I say, it was so annoying/hard losing him as a headliner last year when it might not have even ever been a possibility I don't wanna build it up again when Neil seems so sure its not gonna happen. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised further down the line than disappointed. And my dad still takes the mic out of me for being so sure he'd deadline last year.

Conversations go round and round and round here to the point people get so sure things are bound to happen. People thought Arctic Monkeys were nailed on this time last year for no other reason that it was in so many other people's predictions.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
