2020 headliners

[priest17]

Richard Ashcroft was back on morning telly this morning, nothing announced though

[scrippit]

Just read through last 15 pages to see if anything interesting or new has cropped up.

With the honourable exception of @Keithy's post, its an hour I will never get back.

I love Biffy, but their early stuff is relatively naff.

edit: Courteeners are always somewhere south of naff

Vertigo of Bliss and Infinity Land were their creative peak. They haven't released anything remotely as interesting as those two albums since. I don't begrudge them going for a more mainstream audience starting with Puzzle, fair play to them, but musically speaking Vertigo and Infinity are easily their finest hours.

I'd agree with this, although I quite enjoyed Puzzle - was definitely the perfect age and listening to that music at the time though.

The enduring popularity of The Biff is another one of those things I am destined to never understand.

The best thing to come out of Kilmarnock since Johnnie Walker whisky!

Why does this sound like a scene from American Psycho? 

I’m hoping you don’t have a polished axe at home.

Get Biffy Clyro topping the Pyramid 

Mon the fucking Biff.

Puzzle was alright, yeah. Some decent stuff on it. I think it annoys me more in hindsight, but when it came out I had all the picture disc singles, posters and all sorts. Get Fucked Stud and 9/15ths were belters.

That's one of the nicest things anyone has said to me on here!

I see the The Biffy Clyro fanclub got their 15 twitter followers to come in here and talk about The Biffy Clyro headlining

[jparx]

I'd love to see Biffy headline just so Mike Vennart can forever claim he headlined Glastonbury. Should have been with Oceansize, but we'll take what we can get.

But who's bigger?

Biffy or Kendrick?!!

Kendrick is 1.68m so probably Biffy

Don’t think anyone mentioned pyramid headliner just maybe another stage   Oh wait, I recollect Emily mentioned them as a possible future headliner a few years ago?

Either that or Piers Morgan has taken his 'well I identify as... ' to another level

Interestingly  Biffy  played a few gigs in their formative years in the village of Dunlop.

Citation needed. They're the audio equivalent of angry wee man syndrome.

So last year the first post to mention all 3 of the headliners was in October but it wasn't until January that somebody first suggested them as a trio. Technically it was @sisco a few posts before Matt who threw out The Killers when we where fairly settled on The Cure and Stormzy had already been announced but Matt was the first to mention all three(which is easier to search for).

I've a long bus journey later so might do this for previous years.

I’m proud of myself for mentioning it but prouder of you for finding it!

I for one welcome our new kilted overlords

Anyone mentioned Queen and Adam Lambert yet? Pretty sure they are touring in Europe at that time and even though it’s Queen lite, that’s still bigger than most

Been discussed to death, but their dates effectively rule them out, and even if they didn't then they still wouldn't be likely for various reasons.

I believe Brian May is currently writing a song called badgers are bastards in a vain attempt to ingratiate himself with Michael.
