They also stank out the whole of the 1990s.  They need to get back on the Persians before I waste my slot at the giant Yorkshire pudding place. 

Technically noughties, but Jaded is a stone cold tune

Aerosmith seems like the type of booking Glasto would go for. The issue is one someone has already mentioned.... theres no way they're booking 3 American headliners for the 50th. I dont think it's going to be Kendrick anyways. 

Aerosmith Taylor and Macca? Maybe

Aerosmith Taylor and Foals or 1975? Seems more realistic. 

I don’t think anybody with any sense is thinking Aerosmith would be booked as a headliner, so it’d be Taylor and Kendrick as two headliners, Noel G subbing, Aerosmith (presumably) in the third down Pyramid rock slot, and then a third headliner, with Elton seeming like the most likely at this point. 
 

Still seems pretty unbelievable at this point that Aerosmith would accept that slot mind, but I suppose it’s reasonable that their name is cropping up for some reason.

I have watched the videos for, I think they're called, Crazy and Crying? Watched them many, many times.

Awful, awful tunes, but I was a teenager at the time and, well, I'm sure we all remember Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler.

In yet another example of them owning Foals, Aerosmith even have their own rollercoaster

We love to see a Rock'n'Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith.

It’s very good too. Don’t remember the music bit, mind.

[Dronx]

Got some new headphones and giving Lana Del Rays latest album a listen. It’s lovely, probably not a headliner but would be high on the wish list.

Honestly though Aerosmith played a free concert in the tiny place I'm from in Canada about 6yrs ago. I have no idea what the city would have paid them, but they might do it for the glory?

They're about to be booted out in favour of Robert Downey Jr in spandex though, how does that affect their chances?

Don't forget Elton. 

Elton doesn't seem to be in the running at all.

Personally I think the only suitable test for a headliner is do they have their own rollercoaster. If no, need not apply.

[Cockney_Jesus]

Went on the Aerosmith coaster earlier this year. Cheesy as hell but great fun being flung about to Dude Looks Like A Lady!

[Hugh Jass]

So what’s the thinking on first headliner announcement?

Can’t see one anytime soon considering we’ve already had DiRoss.

MGM studios? I went on that in 99.  How is that still a ride now? 

Was the best attraction of the park though

I'm hoping as there's nothing to rule him out yet either. 

It comes in threes they say so would be quite a year for him:

1- John Lewis Advert 

2- Rocketman film 

3- Announced to Headline Glastonbury 

 

*Tongue in cheek of course but here's hoping.

They have it at Disneyland Paris too

I reckon November 14th for first headliner announcement, based on absolutely nothing at all,

 

and it’ll be T-Swizz

[kalifire]

Kendrick, Elton, and Taylor would be my dream trio, to be honest. Would mean I’m at the Pyramid every night, which isn’t ideal, but that would be such an incredible line up. 

Rest assured, though. Because I want it, the headliners we’ll actually get are The Foals, Coldplay, and Paul McCartney (featuring Chris Martin).

I don’t think Swift will be first. 

This time last year the Cure were announcing festivals left, right and centre and yet Glasto didn’t come till March/April IIRC. My money is on Swift announcing either her own show(s) in the UK or BST (which doesn’t usually announce until Nov/Dec) and not being confirmed until next year.

We almost made it a decent amount of time before Foals were brought up again.

Crazy and Cryin' sound like the exact same songs to me, but it may be intentional? Loved those as a teenager as well! Haven't heard them in a few years, but sure I could belt out Crazy with the best of them if they were confirmed.

At a guess, no. 3 isn't as important to him as the other two, given that he's only ever shrugged the topic off.

I misspoke to say he's 'not in the running' bc that would mean he's ruled out, which he's not. But with mounting late-2020 UK/EU dates and nothing earlier, he does seem to only exist in contention because he's retiring and because it's the anniversary; the former was the case this summer and probably in 2021 too, so just the anniversary really. ?‍♂️

Yeah jut put these two on and I've definitely got them mixed up before. I would have said it might be the intention to follow a formula until I realised they were on the same album. Why????

The video for Crazy is a bit fucked, and that's even when you take out the fact that one of the stars is his daughter.

They’re updating it to an Avengers or Iron Man coaster in most parks. They’ll probably keep some kind of reference in to Aerosmith. Tony Stark probably sees himself as the third ‘toxic twin’...

If I had two rollercoaster based on my music I suspect I'd not be up for playing third fiddle beneath Foals and the Courteeners.

[Avalon_Fields]

I see Bon Jovi have a song called Roller Coaster, so I’m predicting a double rollercoaster bill with Aerosmith
