Of course not but it’s a worry isn’t it, when people are considering the 1975 for glasto headliner something is very very wrong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briddj Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I agree on the The 1975 musically, but in the modern era where it's almost impossible for guitar bands to grow an audience to the size it used to, you're going to struggle for other bands to headline who aren't just from the old rotation / heritage. The 1975 are as big as it gets for bands who have emerged in the last five years or so, with Catfish having the potential to do similar. Other than that? You're looking at bands that people who are into music might suggest (Tame Impala, Foals) but really aren't known to the wider public.

Hugh Jass Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Their new album has reignited my interest in Foals so it's a real shame I'll be missing them. The prospect of guilt-free Smiths tunes is too good to turn down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't think it'll be anybody quite that big - just maybe a slightly bigger than usual Park opener, if that. I mean, they're getting five minutes less than Black Peaches on the Sunday, so can't be anybody that special, surely? You say that but the Proclaimers will draw a pretty substantial (for that time of day) crowd to the Pyramid so it's possible they could sneak someone significant into that slot. Wolf Alice don't seem beyond reasonable, they turned down a headline slot on the Other according to some intel on here. Maybe they said "not this year, but we'll swing by and do a little set for you". This is all speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithy Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm still gonna cling to a hope that with a new album out and a history of great sets at Glastonbury and some absolute bangers, that the eavii are going to ring the Charli XCX hotline. Tbh though, if the new album goes well, I think she's going to get a high slot in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a guest during Ronson's 5 hour set at Stonebridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, they have no gigs for a couple of weeks so no need to rush off site.

I'm well aware of that however its clear that Glastonbury are making a conscious effort to have female headliners right across the board this year and rightly so.

Divein Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Y’all wanted to reduce overcrowding in the SEC. Booking Annie Mac to DJ Pangea at 2am is one way to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind guessing. Diplo absent from lineup + Guardian listing him as being in that slot + Ronson being on site that night has lead to Silk City being the front runner, but could be way off. Guessing it won’t stay a TBA before the night though - having a mystery headliner seems like too big of a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there’s a thread on this somewhere but seems bizarre to me. Putting an act on a lineup based on anything other than talent and how exciting the show will be will surely mean less exciting acts have more time and bigger sets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexj Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I still think Jarv Is must be up for something, he's always there, he's a Glasto chum, he's doing new stuff, is he too big for the early Park slot? I'd be there for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be there for sure! Not a bad shout for the early Park slot tbh - big enough to justify a TBA but not too big that it’ll have people flooding in once word gets out. I’d be happy if it was him.
