2019 Headliners

he said next year, gonzo.

Nope, it's not easy enough. Essentially it's it's down to luck on whether you get thru to the buying page or not. The only way to find out is to try and keep on trying until the tickets are sold out.

What's the likelihood of The Strokes headlining one night? Rumoured album out early 2019 and theyve never played glasto before so fit into this not played before category 

Strokes would be a sub at best these days.

Guys, quick question on Glasto, so ive actually never gone to glasto but i really want to next year. I know tickets are hard to get but how hard? Like, if i was on the website ready, do you think its easy enough to get one? Any tips? Thank You 

I've managed to get tickets each time I've tried. There's no real trick to it, just persistence and luck. Just make sure you're on the ball and ready to go come 9am. I tend to try for coach tickets in the first instance so you essentially have an extra swing. And the coach is ace.

It's much easier when less people do it, so make sure you spread loads of lies that it's rubbish so there's less competition.

Incidentally, I wouldn't bother if I were you, it's rubbish.

Really beginning to hit me there's no festival this year.

Usually i'm gearing myself up for some line up news and preparing to put myself through watching the Brit awards with the faintest hope someone reveals they're playing the festival.

Oh it hurts.

Same here! Been watching some vlogs on YouTube, found a God awful one from Spencer and Alex....

I’m sure they’d get better paying headline slots elsewhere though. If you take out Glastonbury, I don’t think very many festivals would be turning their nose up by the looks of the headliners around the place.

Besides, 2000’s are pretty en vogue right now and I can see Stroke and the lads being bigger than they’ve been for over a decade when they eventually come back.

They subbed the Pyramid last year so I think their fall from headliner status is already cemented. They’d need to make a pretty triumphant comeback to end up headlining any time soon/ever.

Completely forgot that this happened! Wasn’t able to attend the Sunday of last years festival so it kind of escaped my attention.

Strokes returning again and getting a Pyramid headline slot; me getting so excited and forgetting how shite they were at Leeds 2011; me watching them and it being awful and ruining my night.

Lovely stuff. Get it done.

Didn’t you watch Muse on the Pyramid two months after watching them be shite?

That post up the page wasn’t me suggesting the Strokes could headline the Pyramid, by the way. I don’t see them ever being given that opportunity, just that other festivals will have them headline so they won’t have to take the William’s Green slot they’re tipped for around here.

Yep but I wasn't really excited for it and knew it'd be no better than what I'd seen a few months earlier (was seeing Sigur Rós 3 weeks later and didn't care about any of the other alternatives, anyway).

And yeah they're not gonna struggle for headline slots elsewhere so I agree they won't show up at Glasto. R&L, BST and IOW would all take them in a heartbeat for starters, I'm sure.

I don't get this whole The Strokes being crap thing. I've seen them twice and I thought they were really good both times. Maybe it's just me?!

What venues were they in? I've heard they're much better in smaller, indoor venues but they were so ridiculously dull and lifeless when I saw them at Leeds Festival. Only band that's come close is Kings of Leon (also at a festival).

Headlining Super Bock Super Rock In Portugal at about 2am (Julian still wore sunglasses) in 2011, and at Hyde Park (I did only pay £2.50 for my ticket admittedly).

Saw them a couple of years ago when tickets were ridiculously cheap and thought they were good in all fairness.

Hyde Park with Beck?

On the subject of them being rubbish, didn't Julian go through a 'trying to headline festivals while being totally loaded' phase?

I paid a bit more for it but still was very happy with the performance. Wasn’t mind blowing, just good songs performed well in front of a receptive crowd.

They don’t do a lot on stage so I can see how people tune out which might affect areas of festival crowds, but at the same time it’d be really at odds with their style of music if Jules was jogging about the stage and climbing up shit.

I think The Strokes lost it when they dropped the Interpol look and went Friendly Fires / Bondi beach bum.

That’s the one, they were good (although Beck was better).

When did The Strokes ever perform in shirt and tie?

I've only just seen this brief interview with Emily Eavis on NME and I haven't seen it mentioned on here yet. Re: headliners, there's one booked for 2019 (which voids what Michael said a few days prior ) and it isn't Theresa May. Furthermore they have more in place for 2020. It's more interesting for the talk of site changes tbh.

site changes are always more interesting than band speculation, as evidenced by the many-hundred-page thread that (i imagine) appears on efests every year
