Headliner poll (but like an actual poll)

[rzwodezwo]

Who would you like to see headline in 2020? Three acts max!

[waynewdk]

Oops picked more than 3, how do I edit, I’ve just woke up for a airport run

[anditmakesmesmile]

Erm, depeche mode aren’t on that list. A) rumoured to headline. b) over fifty top twenty hits c) sold over a million records, making them bigger than half the acts on that list d) culturally more important than half of that list. 
What is that saying about a prophet not being honoured in their own house?

You can’t please everyone

The question was though, who would you like to see headline? Not, who do you think will headline? 

[Avalon_Fields]

I can’t help but choose the biggest rock acts, knowing full well there’s no chance of it happening

[Matt42]

I chose Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift - the trio stated by the BBC in the Diana Ross article.

[Hugh Jass]

REM

Kendrick

Reg

[Crazyfool01]

REM

Elton 

Daft Punk 

[circus92]

The 1975

Fleetwood Mac

Taylor Swift

 

The 1975 really don’t seem to be rated round here - they are one of the favourites to headline but yet not on the poll?  I get that they are perceived to appeal a certain demographic, which doesn’t “fit” with most of the others acts on the list, but just curious as to why they are overlooked so much?

Oh so is this why there’s sudden talk of McCartney again? Completely missed that.

Ah fuck, they really should have been in this poll. My bad!

Lowdown is that his name has been thrown around so much that Neil is doubting whether it’s still the case that he isn’t playing (I think)

Also re my point of view 

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/entertainment-arts-49997124

Scroll down the article and you’l see it says Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift. It’s the first publication I’ve seen which has put Taylor as the Sunday headliner (theoretically the only day she can do).

Also that trio has only recently become the bookies favourite. 
 

Also there’s something about that (difficulty of FM aside) that just feels “right”. That trio would explain a lot - it would also fit the bill of Emily being in talks with two headliners for a long while and why the 1975, Foals et all are vague about the question of whether they are really headlining.

[jyoung]

Out of the above - Taylor, Kendrick and Fleetwood. Big trip!

[Freddyflintstonree]

I love that the 1975 were completely omitted despite being one of the favourites 

 

 

EDIT: Apologies - just seen your comment on this

I thought we were just saying who we wanted to headline out of those.

And I was just asking a reasonable question why all the favourites are there except one

[Brad2434]

The 1975 are absolutely tragic, tried to give them a chance when they headlined R1 big weekend in my hometown this year and he was unbearable. Would hate to see them headline but then again it would free up a slot to go do something else.

Someone is trying to piss on my parade! ???

Fleetwood Mac

Daft punk (obviously)

Elton John 

... that'd see me at the Pyramid 3 nights in a row getting tutted at for standing on someone's picnic blanket

Macca, Acca Dacca and GnR.

Preparing myself for it being none of them.

[Smeble]

Have to say I find the popularity of daft punk utterly baffling.
