Bold statement:

 

Other than dedicated fans of the individual artists, your average festival goer could not name 5 songs by any of Olivia, The 1975, or Neil Young. Further to that, they could not name 5 songs between them.

 

I really don't know what naming songs has to do with whether an act could or should headline Glastonbury or not.

 

Most attendees couldn't name 5 Cure songs, 5 Springsteen songs, 5 Radiohead songs, 5 Kendrick Lamar songs, 5 Billie Eilish songs or 1 SZA song - the list goes on. It doesn't matter.

 

He is who he is, and he has the status he has. 

Although i fully agree with a majority of the above, he has been mentioned in the same breath as Bowie and Elton John over the past 10 pages or so,

 

I'm pretty sure most people could name multiple songs by Bowie and Elton. You only have to go through the list of acts on the top 40 list above (in terms of "Legendary acts") and Neil Young is likely to be close to the bottom in terms of "well known songs" despite his rightful "Legendary" status.

 

It doesn't change the fact he will and should headline if he is there..........its just simple facts that people generally do not know his back catalogue or "hits" as much as other "legendary acts" or current artists. 

 

Hopefully if he does headline  -  it gets people listening to his albums which are all pretty much superb.

Has Azealia Banks hired Dr Evil as her lawyer?

There are some wild shouts on that list. Lennon's solo work at 38 ahead of Bowie?!

Very US-centric too, 30 of that lot from over the pond.

i know! I Nirvana is probably my favorite band, but in no way are they better than Bowie.  

I suppose these lists are made to generate conversation and clicks

Bad enough I get a celebrity gossip video widget on this site that repeatedly includes things about that arse and his family, including one today from his visit to the Notre Dame re-opening over the weekend.

yeah, but if he did headline you'd be there right? I know I would. I'd have to see him doing weird sh*t dance rather than that brat charli person gyrating and smoking under a shower. If it's Neil Young then I might have to go with Ms xcx.

I'm not going Glastonbury so if it was on TV, I'd just watch something else.

OK, again, Olivia, Sam Fender, 1975, Fred Again, what you've said applies to them too, word for word.

 

I don't think you need to labour this point specifically for Neil. Noone was comparing him as an equal to Bowie or Elton.

[NorthernSoul52]

Where are we on the Other headliners again?

[steviewevie]

Is Nick Cave not a rumour?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Don't think there's been any word on him.

 

Loyle Carner and Charli XCX however seem fairly locked.

[Goel Nallagher]

Apparently, according to the other place beginning with a d (wink wink), my bloody valentine were supposed to headline the other stage on the Friday but for whatever reason, have since dropped out so yungblud is now replacing them.

wtf. The 1975 or Yungblud?

I think I'll be at croissant neuf.

[CaledonianGonzo]

MBV are more at JPT sub or Park headline level, surely.

[steviewevie]

or Pilton Palais if there's anything decent on.

Of course not! He's better than both.

Completely fake news I’m afraid. 
 

We’ve never had any into on MBV and whilst we do have Yungblud listed as a rumour, that came from efests in the first place and is stated as such

 

Had a Quick look through your posting history and all you’ve done is post incorrect rumours citing OOF as your source. @Alvoram might be worth looking into this poster as incorrectly trying to stir between the two platforms

Absolutely, on it, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Yes, that’s pretty much the consensus at this stage.
