2020 headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

Frank's shows sound like fans only affairs that maybe aren't likely to win over doubters and sceptics. So not ideal Pyramid fare.

[jyoung]

Frank would go down like 2017 Radiohead minus Creep.

a sign of getting old...

As far as I can recall, in 35 years of unbroken Glastonbury Festivals attendance, this will be the first year where i've never knowingly heard a full track by two of the headliners.

You’ve never heard Hey Jude?!

that's why I said *full* track.

Yes, I've heard it, but not the whole track (as far as I'm aware, anyway).

To be fair we got really lucky where we were stood which made the experience feel really intimate. Heard a lot of complaints from people who were stood further back who thought he was shit. I don’t think his live show is suited to big outdoor spaces.

Depends on the space. He did really well at FYF Fest, but thats a hometown show. It felt like you were in his living room watching him do his songs. Its hard to balance that kind of intimacy with a large crowd. He has to have something up his sleeve for Coachella or else theres gonna be 75,000 people  wondering what the hype was about.

That’s how it felt at Parklife where we were too. Like I said though, it seems like that didn’t translate well to the larger outreaches of the crowd.

McCartney was in this band called the Beatles. You should check them out.

Is this a subtle way of confirming Kendrick? TBC job?

him being announced for BST just about confirms it, doesn't it? 

[Doug85]

Not sure how much (if any) truth there is to this but a couple of people have sent this to me.

If Kendrick or Eminem played surely they would do it themselves. 

Kendrick would deserve it himself.

This sort of superstar tour gets rumoured every year, never comes into fruition. Here's a random one from 2016 (first one that came up, I'm sure the same line up was rumoured in at least 2018 as well)

I don’t think I’ve been this pumped for a headliner since the Stones.

Ha, of course not. I was just factoring the times I didn't read it, when it could have been honest behind my back.

there's no exclusive and I'm certain he'll be at Glasto - but without info specifically saying it I'm not changing him from a TBC.

entirely fair, i was aware i jumped the gun a bit after the excitement of not seeing the dreaded 'exclusive' had subsided 

[Doug85]

No exclusive, happy days. 

[jparx]

Nailed it. Hopefully they shift a good chunk of tickets ASAP and we get an announcement in Feb. 

IMO this is the best trio of headliners the festival has ever booked.

See you on the farm king kenny

my life is now complete

It's incredibly strong. Maybe on a par with U2, Coldplay and Beyonce in 2011.

Glasto gonna be mother fucking COMPTON
