TKOCF Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) The Foos are one of the biggest ticket shifters and one of the most famous live bands on the planet, with probably the most famous frontmen in rock of the 21st Century. Not saying they’re an inspiring booking but they’re still a good one nonetheless for sales. Edited March 13, 2019 by TKOCF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieaslee Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Saw Foos last year and they're not that hard to catch tbh, but the best thing about them headlining for me is i think it's resulted in the rest of the bookings that day to be pretty decent Edited March 14, 2019 by jamieaslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Connolly Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Foos are an unbelievable pull and certainly a bucket list band. Those suggesting they’re boring are mental however The 1975 are the most exciting booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably the best rock outfit you could ask for to headline the fest as well as a massive ticket shifter. Not moaning though the fest has done extremely well this year for headliners.

Saying that I do love this years lineup for reading to me there aren’t that many “wow” bands on the glastonbury lineup and i think that should come with Glasto. If it was released as an r&l lineup then i’d be dead impressed but it seems to lack the wow factor Glastonbury usually has. Stormzy, The Cure and The Killers arent hard bands to see and i’m not sure many others on the lineup are hard to see either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cure, Wu Tang, Streets, Idles, Santigold and Lauren Hill makes for a quality line up imo and there's loads to be added still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Foos always put on a huge show regardless of what you think of their music. They're also one of those acts that seem to have a real affinity with the festival. We've got three other headliners making their debut this years so they're a very solid choice in terms of balance.

We for me personally there is only Idles at Glastonbury that I want to see but there is loads to be announced yet. R+L usually have better bands for me personally but still have a great time at Glastonbury so aren't too worried about the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1000 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Does Dan Carter have complete creative control of that’s stage? Cause I highly doubt he’s into most of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yeah, the Pit on Saturday is a nightmare. Ironically it's not too bad on the Sunday when it doesnt matter as much due to the main stage having plenty to cater for the fans who would normlly be in the Pit I'm struggling to find anything to get me through the gates on Saturday at the moment.

dum surfer Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 The 1xtra stage is laughably bad as well. Also finding a lot of the currently announced Festival republic lineup pretty disappointing too (bar Jap House and Peace), there were some really great bookings on their last year like Spector, HMLTD and Hinds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Brown and FBZ headlining too? yes please, it's always going to look weak for me compared to that, but you're right. It's terrible this year lmao.

It's terrible this year lmao. 2016, the first year I went was pretty insane too. Anderson Paak>Bugzy Malone>Logic>Section Boyz>Stormzy was a ridiculously good run in, even though I only saw half of those. I don't think it's ever looked as good as that since 2016 and the better acts seem to be pushed to R1/Main which is a shame but leads to less clashes I guess. Also what's your opinion on ENSWBL p.1 mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
