You're seriously responding to someone talking about a massive band headlining a festival, when sources have suggested it's happening, with this vile nonsense? It's not stinking up the forum, it's what the forum has always been for. Your strange dislike of one particular band is making you extremely irrational and even nasty on this. 

If there's anyone out there who Neil trusts, please step in. 

you trust me enough to have used my website for many years.

All the stories are based on the same source I.e. The Sun.

They also came out with Eminem few weeks ago to, they must be bored and just throw a new name in to help the bookies!

Do they? I love my music but wouldn't say my fingers on the pulse so apply pinch of salt to the below... But 2019 had the killers and the cure. I don't think they're that big a deal but am more than happy to be wrong 😊

I agree with you to an extent! The Cure are cultural touchstones though, even though they haven't had a hit in ages.  And even though I don't really care for the Killers, more people than I would expect show up to their gigs. Baffles me to a degree, but your average person just adores them

I won't link to the article, but it also says Eminem is also still in talks and that Monkey and the lads are signed up to do it.

Hahaha it's like your in my brain!

I don't know why I'm so invested in the headliner announcements when I hate big crowds so if anything bands I don't like would be preferable so I can more easily justify seeing smaller headliners.

I guess it's just because they're almost definitely going to be the only bands we get confirmed until next March, right?

He's got the  added-extra evidence Haydn mate, i really believe that

Yeah, this is all just outlets reporting on outlets. I’m sure Glasto would love to book Rihanna, but I doubt anyone reporting this has any credible info.

Arctics

Florence (if only so I get 130 quid)

GnR

I notice this is your first Glasto too, you'll have the best time ever but just mentally prepare yourself that this is very hard to avoid even away from Pyramid! Early doors West Holts for a bit of Jazz and cider in the sun is your best bet for some relative peace 🙂

Have you seen the price of the tickets for the DM tour next year?  Front standing at Twickenham would cost more than Glastonbury!

Come to Dublin! €79 (plus fees)…tickets still available and no golden circle, just wander up front if you want!

Saying someone is "in talks" leaves a load of wiggle room.

Could suggest headliners aren’t as sewn up as we believe

Well this thread is as fun as the last one at least.

Calling it at Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Rihanna.

GNR are not playing Glastonbury based on nothing more than a gut feeling. They feel like a real ill fit, offer nothing at all.

 

I feel the festival would see Artic Monkeys and Blur as too similar to book both on one line up

Yeah I mean I was at Primavera Sound this year and that was 95,000 capacity with significantly fewer stages. I was fine there other than at their main stages during the evening so I'm hoping i can handle most of it. Luckily I like a lot of smaller bands and newer music so I'm hoping there's plenty on the smaller stages to keep me happy and away from the big surges.

Download festival leak. Usually weary with leaks but this has all the stylings as their most recent insta post and leaked the same way as the pilot was last year so think it’s reliable.

someone on the last thread seemed optimistic about slipknot headlining so guess this rules them out

I'm praying too but I suspect for different outcomes.

[Xeph1995]

Pendulum on that download leak means they might be available for Glastonbury too, I'd love Pendulum on the Other Stage or John Peel. 

Put on a banging show, saw them at leeds when they first got back together crowd was bopping.

I'm in the fairly unusual position where - Arctic Monkeys aside - I'd likely go to check out all of the rumoured headliners. I'd be fine with two from Reg, Riri, Roses and Realslimshady.

There's only one cloud on the horizon, the evil of whom we dare not speak its name (lest it start singing)

Do agree, though I'm wondering if they fell back on them as friends of the festival and past headliners though if rumours of other acts pulling out are true
