2020 headliners

[jparx]

I mean, Lionel, Chems, Scream, Supergrass and Dua Lipa would be a fun weekend. Snow Patrol headlining IOW though? Yikes.

And we thought they might have Taylor Swift!

[SwedgeAntilles]

Jings. 

[Matt42]

so that’s it. There’s literally no where else that can steal Taylor Swift.

I’ve seen worse undercards for sure, but that top three is a disaster. Seeing Lionel during the day at Glasto was a lot of fun, but as headliner of the whole thing? I’m not so sure. Same applies to Duran Duran. And that’s before we even get to the perennial indie bet setters.

In previous years IOW have clearly spent big on headliners and left nothing for the rest. This year it looks like they’ve gone the other way.

Oh my. I suspect that IoW may struggle to shift tickets next year. 

People have been saying that for about a decade

That’s a fair point. It just seems so uninspiring but, then again,  I’m not the target market I guess.

I mean they’ve got a few big ticket shifters.

Maybe they spent all their money paying James Arthur what he thinks he's worth?

I know you panicked because you want her so much but even you must be calm now? It’s done mate.  Enjoy

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm actually kinda impressed that they've managed to select a collection of acts from across the last three decades which, when put together, would look out of place no matter the year.

It's a musical Benetton ad

Despite being the exact same sausage party as TRNSMT it still feels a little less heinous than what Geoff Ellis has cooked up.

I’m not calm until she’s on that lineup

Probably helped by the fact IOW haven't come out and said females need to start picking up guitars...

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Duran Duran when they headlined Bestival (I don't even like Duran Duran particularly).

[Heather90]

Do we know when R1 Big Weekend info is due? It's the only other place I think she would fit that I haven't seen discussed at length

Aye thought they were brilliant myself and have become a big fan since. Gutted they won’t be at Glastonbury.

Would happily see them pop up somewhere on the Glasto lineup. But let's face facts, they're not major festival headliners in 2020.

That set was absolutely great fun wasn't it. 

[Divein]

Neighbourhood, TRNSMT and IOW's line ups are embarrassing.

 

It's 2019.

If women want a career in music they really need to start creating Proper Indie For The Lads.

Justtt for the sake of argument, if you knew for certain that it wasn't Kendrick and Taylor headlining, what would the best guess be for the other two? (with all the same clues etc being accurate (e.g. 1 male, 1 female, never headlined etc.)

Post Malone and Madonna.
