2019 Headliners

[Doug85]

Was Rag and Bin man not a bigger crowd than LG. I was attempting to walk through and it was gridlocked everywhere.

Stormzy had a decent sized crowd too.

Wasn't watching Rag N Bone Man but trying to walk around even the back of the field was near impossible

That's because half of the crowd were sat on the ground having a picnic the bellends.

Oh you bet they do go to concerts. And not just that - they buy those overpriced lightbulbs that flash during the show and tons and tons of other merch. I even read they had to put extra restrictions on as to how early you can come to the venue because people would camp there for days ahead.

And though they need to shift 80,000 tickets, first you need to divide it by two because most of the fans will need to bring along a parent. And second they only have two European shows announced so far which could get a lot of international fans (I hate to admit it but me inclusive) to come over.

K-pop at Glasto and other major festival is bound to happen at some point, probably just not this year.

It’s great to see actual diversity in the pop scene. Also acts gaining success through singing in their own language and not translating just to have a crack at a western audience. 

For too long crowds here have neglected any music that isn’t sang in English. It definitely proves that culture is moving forward!

Don’t get me started on the barriers of chairs!!!

Yeah, Stormzy and Rag n Bone Lad also had huge crowds alongside LG.

Stormzy now headlines and I guess Rag Lad could at some point?

 

LG and his Oasis benefits though , he gets to sub The Killers

True, but his backing band are absolute dogshit.

Dogshit is harsh I think, but aye, they’re bang average. He’s been largely back on form since the album tour started though, so it’s swings and roundabouts.

I reckon Little Mix would probably go down well at Glastonbury but no other X Factor winner. I highly doubt it would happen though. 

Who wants to break it to him that they didn't win..?

I'm massively here for Liam subbing Killers if that happens

They won in 2011,

With the greatest of respect, an average band can play LG's set without too much bother.  Also, nobody's looking at the band

With the new mooted Killers / Cure headline thinking, are we now suggesting that the Strokes rumours were dud?  Or are we looking at a secret set / Other headliner?

rumours aren't dud, they're likely doing the same secret set they were lined up for in 2010

I thought that... then I saw them play.

No one gives a fuck about the songs on that album though. It’s all about him calling Noel a potato on Twitter.

This. I've not listened to a single song from his solo output but I'm all over his sub-headliner set. Not cos of the Twitter shite, but for the Oasis sing along. Never saw Oasis live and reckon it'd be a great atmosphere. Not saying he's a must see in any situation but out of all the touring acts I can't see anyone who'd be playing at that time that'd drag me away.

My bad, I must be thinking of another act that didn't win that eclipsed the actual winner. Lemar maybe..?

1D you plumb.

Although, is there any shame in losing to global sensation Matt Cardle?

[StevieGed]

Liam subbing The Killers is the counterweight to whoever was there to criticise the Stormzy booking. 

Aside from the Janet rumour which im not sold on, any ideas of who could be due to sub Friday and Sunday? Im sold on Tame Impala and Chems on the other but enjoy a good pyramid sub when the suns going down so be nice to catch someone if I don’t get a chance to see Liam due to Chems/Tame being on the Saturday. 

Cant lie but Pharrell was a proper party in 2015, weather was cracking the flags. Loved The xx before Radiohead too, it was great seeing them play Loud Places in a state of ecstasy could you say!

There you are. And of all the things to be confused for a plumb over, I'll take my memory of X factor winners and their relative successes.

There's still time for Cardle to pull it back.

To be honest, Liam solo is probably going to be a better atmosphere than most Oasis gigs for about the last 10 years that they existed as a band.

Didn't he quit and go back to his day job like 9 months in because he hit the skids so badly?

God I remember that guy being such a w*nker. He was going around saying he was a serious rock man because he had tattoos and a beard and sang a Biffy Clyro song, and all X Factor types were trash and he wasn't like them, they were all Hannah Montana and he was so credible he could maybe make it into Q Magazine one day. And then it was like well done for insulting your entire fanbase, genius, now you've got no career.

I’m still waiting for him and Steve Brookstein to have a real life Celebrity Deathmatch. Or join forces to become the ultimate reality show duo...
