The not on tour acts are American. Glastonbury means jack shit to Americans so an artist isn’t going to come out of their holidays/hiatus to do it unless they have touring plans already also re Rihanna, her name has been thrown around a lot in previous years but I truly think she’s done with music / being a major pop star. She makes way more money with her make up line now! Edited January 16, 2019 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but you'd expect them to do at least a few warm up shows, needed not just for the band but for sound, lights etc. It's a risk to do a massive, probably televised show when not fully match fit.

Gucci Piggy Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 And regarding The Killers playing Latitude, they were clearly making an exception and playing a festival way below their level. They also headlined IOW the same year. Whilst on the topic of The Killers, they're w*nk and I'd rather watch an empty stage whilst Is This It plays over the PA.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Although I can't remember the last time they pulled a huge surprise out of nowhere, the Eavis' have never let us down before and I'm still of the opinion that they've got something closely guarded up their sleeve. #Beleavis 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She makes way more money with her make up line now! That's just not true. To say Taylor or at the very least, her management are not aware that it's the biggest festival on the planet in terms of importance would be naive at best. Springsteen played it because he learned of its importance. Jay-Z, Beyonce and Metallica were actively pushing to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Again, with FM, Emily said they weren't booked last year when Macca was very much on the cards. There's nothing to say they haven't gone back to them since the Macca deal fell through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sold last night it was the strokes but now i’m seriously doubting it. I imagine there will be plenty of numbers in Glastos phone book before they take that big a leap. if the two other headliners were stronger I’d probably get onboard with it - but I think this years Glastonbury could be the first festival where the undercard is technically “more popular” than the headliners. I think this is a bit of an exaggeration. The Strokes are a safe headliner; they headline festivals all over the world that are as big as Glasto when they're active, they have the songs to do it, they've never done Glasto before and they're a rare enough live proposition to make it at least a slightly interesting booking. They'll also satisfy the "real music" mob who threw a fit over Stormzy headlining. The fact they'll be replacing a rock act probably works in their favour, too. Glasto may accept booking a slightly weaker headliner if it means keeping the genre spread that they initially wanted (which may have partly been the reason they took a punt on Stormzy as the third headliner). They may see it as "Yeah, we could go for Gaga or someone instead who's a bigger act, but we've already pissed off a lot of our core demographic with the Stormzy booking and can't afford to do it again". Plus whoever they don't book is then available to book in future years. Like with The Cure they may be a "book em while we can" element to it.
