Don't let @dentalplan hear you say that or he'll spill hot chocolate everywhere again.

I think I've said enough on the last few posts on this thread to justify that it isn't fantasy.

[priest17]

I honestly think the talk of them not being headliner worthy is just delusion whipped up from a choice few on here.

When this thread gets hot I think Tay or Macca have been confirmed

Really?

In all all seriousness I didn’t know about that. Who did they sub that year? I can’t remember. 

Oh, only Muse. I was hoping you wouldn’t ask so my point still had some credibility.

I think there are arguments for and against, and neither side is delusional. Dental has put some convincing arguments forward why it's not a fantasy prediction, but there are some solid reasons to argue they aren't at the headliner level as well. Part of the fun of this thread init.

Very fair way to look at it. Equally, part of the fun is seeing people suggest Elton John for the legend slot once every four pages.

Elton is getting in on the Simpsons gifs (1 min 10)  - he's my lock of the week. Swift is my Shoe-in.

£2.50 and a packet of monster munch would seal the deal.

Could probably get them to clean a few long drops and pick up some litter

Bringing it back to Fleetwood Mac, at the end of one of their Auckland gigs a few weeks back, Mick said something along the lines of (in relation to the band) "we're not done yet, we still have to play in a field somewhere".  I instantly thought Glastonbury but it's also a weird comment to make to a New Zealand audience if it is Glasto related.  This was also before I knew he had made a similar comment at Wembley.

Side note, as a biased kiwi, Neil Finn was an amazing replacement in the band, and I couldn't help think the entire time how good this would be on the Pyramid stage.  Counting my lucky stars I got a ticket,

This made me laugh more than it should have.

To be honest that looks a bit rank. Impressive crowd, but it looks uncomfortably overcrowded. 

I was there and it sucked, and I like foals. Honestly, having been there for Elbow in 2017 now I've come to the conclusion I don't want to see a big act on the park stage, it's an awful stage for it, it sits at the top of a hill so if you aren't near you can't see s**t,  there's no screens, the sound tent is bloody wide and right in the middle of the thing, all the walkways get completely packed out, and if you up to the crows nest you can't really hear anything. John Peel is a much better location.

[Mouseboy11]

For what it's worth I mentioned at the time I'd heard from someone in at their label Foals were 'in the frame' for the headline slot when I was backstage at their Ally Pally gig. Pinch of salt and all that.

This is a video i took from right at the front. It was very squashed and i nearly fell over and lost my hat a few times but was also fucking epic!

Anybody know or have a decent estimate of how many people were at Foals (not very) secret set at the Park this year?

I was up at the Crows Nest and the crowd nearly reached back up to there. 

Yes this was all of us Efests mega fans!

First evidence of him saying this more than once?

?

Did we hear anything else on that scurrilous bit of tittle-tattle regarding Dhani H's mum and the bloke off of Dancing In The Moonlight?

So just to clarify people are touting the 1975 or Foals to headline but Elton John gets a legend slot? Riiiight.

That's about where we're at. incidentally, did you catch The Cure on the Other stage this year?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Supported by Adele?

In other news, looks like Lady Gaga's Vegas residency ends late May........

[Mash011]

Any word yet on what kind of venues Foals are playing on this to be announced tour?

Nope, he said it in New York at least, too.

He's going around the world saying "we're almost done, just a certain concert in a field left to do"?
