Apart from Emily saying another headliner might be out before Christmas. I mean anyone could be announced at any time. Exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperTea Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Did we ever get to the bottom of that guy on Reddit who worked for a record label and said the festival were going to do something they'd never done before with a different type of act? Because Elvis Presley played Manchester Arena this week. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/18060445.review-elvis-concert---live-screen-manchester-arena/ Michael's a big fan I believe. Maybe he could sub Paul? Edited November 27, 2019 by ProperTea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad enough for new acts to push past the nostalgia forcefield at the best of times, but if they're having to complete with corpses for billing places.....

I'd be shocked if it was anything other than a Pyramid headliner announced yet. They don't tend to do big individual announcements outside the Pyramid headliners and legend. Sometimes Emily might let a name or two drop during an interview but you're not going to get a formal announcement for anything else I'd wager. Although it's still not too late for them to go with my advent calendar idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I heard a band at Glastonbury & I wasn’t too keen on them, I’d move on to something else, not stand there & continue to criticise it. Sorry to wade in unannounced on this. I'm sure if it was alright to drink a beer with breakfast we'd all get on a bit better on here. We're approaching the furthest point of the fest, the weather's miserable, we're still hunting for line up scraps, if anything we should be arguing more.

chazwwe Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I swear I saw something the other day saying we might get an announcement before the new year? Or am I making shit up? I think announcements wise it'll go Taylor > Drop a few names in an interview > Kendrick > poster a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still not class it the same as a headliner announcement, this is only in response to EE mentioning it in an interview. I'd say it was different if it was just randomly announced like Macca was for example although his was after his own little spoiler on twitter.

Matt42 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Kendrick just announced a July date in the Netherlands. Just in case some were counting him out because he had no european festival dates announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
