How you gonna put me in naughty kid jail for having a haircut you don't like, Mr Watson? How short I have my hair affects nobody but me. "Those are the rules" he would say, "if you don't like the rule then you can go to another school". You're just avoiding meaningful discourse, Mr Watson! (I never said that to him). If you dont like rampant late stage capitalism then go and live in North Korea and see how you like it, hippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesh992 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 So two of this year's headliners I could have seen at the last Glasto on smaller stages and still seen all three Pyramid headline sets if I wanted? Pretty poor effort if true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid level festival stuff. I think The Killers headlined most major fests last year and The Cure are doing the same this summer. If anything, it’s too unadventurous. If you think it’s too weak, your expectations were way too high and you were gonna get hit with this eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South America maybe Latitude, I was there. LG did a secret set in the BBC tent earlier on the Saturday and then he came on with The Killers and mumbled something about being too mullered to perform and went off again, from memory leabing Brandon to sing an Oasis B side (badly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I'm at peace with the state of play on the Pyramid, when you look at it rationally there really aren't too many options to pick from. Heritage acts: Macca - Active but seemingly happy to play US dates instead Fleetwood Mac - Active but asking a fortune Madonna - Rumoured to be active soon, but very, very expensive The Eagles - Active, expensive, most people only know one or two songs U2 - Not active, shat the bed last time The Who - Three times in twelve years would be taking the piss Stevie Wonder - Any need to have him back? Reg - In Switzerland Prince - Too dead Contemporary acts: Gaga - Seemingly happy in Vegas Arctic Monkeys - Back in hiding after TBHC bombed The Strokes - Active, but haven't been a GF headliner since 9/11 Arianna Grande - In America Taylor Swift - Not active Kendrick - Ditto Led Zeppelin - Not a band Oasis - Also not a band The 1975 - Doing Reading/Leeds Foals - No chance Kings of Leon - Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Florence - Done it too recently Blur - Damon has 429 other projects going on Edited February 11, 2019 by Hugh Jass 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoptildrop Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well I'm not sure I'd bother watching The Killer myself as they were a festival staple at V (when I used to go), so seen them so many times now.... Casual crowd will love the singalong, especially with Liam subbing those Oasis hits too.. I have still to get a ticket yet, wonder if this trio will make it harder or easier??

Username taken Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 If they are the three headliners, my boat will remain unfloated. That said, I'm excited for a lot of what may be on away from the Pyramid headliners (Chems, Streets, Wu Tang, Vampire Weekend, Iggy, Foals, Weezer? Even the Gallaghers tbf). I just don't think there's too many A-list headliners floating about this year if I'm honest, so this is a year where Glastonbury's strong variety and sheer size should make it come into its own. Its the place to be kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm understanding this right the killers info has come from a different direction to the normals from the same source... but as a well connected source his source for the killers should still be sound. "Confident" is what he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
