2020 headliners

[wro_lap]

Can’t believe they’re gonna wait till January 15th to announce Foals

[jyoung]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha.

[Festival Liam]

Get the fuck in! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Actual band Foals. A quote for the ages.

[incident]

So when Michael said 15th January, he meant 15th December and got confused on the month?

[Poorside]

Not my thing but she is a massive act, Other stage will be rammed on the Sunday

If you haven't already, watch Michael's Taylor swift announcement. Think he had a few too many at lunch!!!

Twitter and Facebook are a mess again 

[Bennykill]

I’m stunned at the level of excitement over Taylor. She is a massive star but I’m shocked she is so popular amongst non 15 year old girls.
 

Shake it off is a fun track.

Taylor confirmed.

Fair enough, not my thing and probably won’t be there. But can’t knock her as a huge booking.

Exactly this. Not into her at all but that’s a huuuuuuge headliner booking especially next to Macca.

[SophieCornish]

How anyone can think Taylor is a bad booking is INSANE. She's the cream of the crop for pop music, and her, plus a Beatle, plus the biggest hip hop artist of modern times is an absolute home run from the Eavises... I SAID WHAT I SAID

Possibly, or he wanted to honestly throw people off the incoming announcement. Im ok with the switcheroo, nobody expected this right now.

I wish he was my grandad. Entirely for non-ticket related reasons.

[gfa]

Didn’t go down great in my groupchat, but luckily saying about Kendrick and how the other stage headliners are massive seemed to raise moods. Might see her, probably not based on my friends reaction hopefully she is against Foals/PSB or someone

[Hotchilidog]

My lot are happy. I think mostly they just want to have a laugh at me losing my sh*t though.

Before everyone starts crying “if you don’t like it go see someone else”

This is how you get crushes at smaller stages. Foals on park, fat boy slim at glade and the streets are obvious examples of this from this year.

The festival are responsible for ensuring the majority of festival goers are where the most room is. Other stage is going have to have someone huge.

Depends on how you see someone as the biggest. Despite his shortcomings the last couple albums, Kanye still moves the needle in a way no other rapper does. Drake is in that same air and people flock to him, but thats more due to constant output and is able to keep having hits. Kendrick just isnt a loud mouth and does what he does, which is a nice change  of pace compared to the rest of his peers. You could say one of the most revered and respected for sure. One of the biggest names currently yes, bigger over some others, thats a stretch. Dont think Kendrick couldve sold out 7 nights at The O2 like Drake did this year.

Er......you realise Taylor is going to be pretty damn busy?

 

[jyoung]

Mad how an actual living human with a brain can post on Facebook saying "Bad call, needed a legend to close the 50th" when Paul fucking McCartney is playing the night before.

they have had much quieter acts than Taylor will be at the pyramid and the rest of the site has been fine ...  its a perfect sunday slot for the locals I would say

It's really not.

Foals at The Park was busy because they played 4th from top, and most of their set was pitted against empty stages.

FBS was busy because someone who could (and has) legitimately headline stages of 10+ thousand was playing to maybe 2,000. The Streets were also booked in a much smaller stage than they should have been. Both of those were bugger all to do with who was on the Pyramid.

The Pyramid will be plenty busy on the Sunday night, don't worry about that.
