I am commenting. I did add Dua as a rumour for a moment but then thought better of it. The story seems a bit too sketchy for me overall.

Cos i reckon they'll try and have a female act as one of the Other headliners. I like Dua but I'm not exactly up to date on her - is it looking likely that her next album will be out by the festival? I reckon she could smash an Other headline slot with two albums. She's already got a good number of hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Wolf Alice will sub? I've had proven right info on them (including a few festivals) for last few years and they were asked for 2019 (sub or headline I am not sure now), but would make sense to be deferred now with a new album, confirmed for Mad Cool as well.

I think headlining is quite possible - as the reward for Pilton Party tends to be a higher slot than they might otherwise get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really fit in with 'pyramid headliners ' level though. Saying that, wolf alice could be a good John peel headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the Manchester gig. So assumed she would be doing the same set and went for Janelle. That gig in Manchester had me in tears. It was incredible. So feared it being let down as well as being on my own for it. I have no problems seeing acts on my tod but I would imagine most would agree you want to spend Sunday night with your pals. It was the right decision on the night. I've no regrets this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadcast information is negotiated separately by the BBC I believe and can go right up until the event (I think the Stones weren't going to be broadcast at all and then struck a deal) so don't think that is a motivating factor.

Wolf Alice's billing is pretty difficult to put a finger on, though. They'd definitely be a good headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I feel like Wolf Alice don’t need to be headlining a stage if stronger options are available. They are a great band but I don’t think they can pull a major crowd against a big hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon they'd be perfect performing as the sun's going down - Two Door Cinema Club and Dave did a great job of that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yeah I pretty much agree with dental's prediction. Probably a bit soon but Major Lazer are playing Mad Cool, I guess they could work as a big electronic headliner. I think Pet Shop Boys would work for that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
