Be careful. Fests are sniffing around them. It will happen eventually.

REM have never struck me as a band who’d come back just for the money, but if they were to return I could easily see BST throwing a massive wedge in their direction.

Whenever I've heard them interviewed since they split it's obvious they still get on, which makes me think they'd not forever resist playing together again.  I always imagine it'd be at a mates birthday party or something though!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Can't imagine they'd need the money.

FFS, the annual REM story reads its head to fuck with my inherent optimism.

Yeah i'd be well up for R.E.M to be honest.I think they are going to have to get past AM, FM and Elton as things currently stand though....I'm leaning towards the latter probably having to headline. I did disagree originally due to smaller outdoor venues but you can't really argue with 2x Hydro, 2x Aberdeen, 3x Liverpool, 2x Birmingham, Manchester x2, Leeds and 7x The 02 I believe it currently stands. Dolly's tour was a decent size but not that big.

Foals addressing the rumours. Yannis says “not to say we’ve been asked yet” - do we think this is a good or bad thing for them?

I’m liking the amount of talk surrounding them. Reminds me of Stormzy this time last year.

[uscore]

That interview makes me believe 5% more than I previously did that they are headlining.

[Amy Lawn]

Slaphead Mick and the boys could do it on the grounds that they could travel around in a solar powered recycled sandal and use the considerable moolah to cure the environment.

Imagine them closing out shows with a fucking haunting as balls rendition of I Remember California with footage of all wildfires and environmental destruction on the screens.

It points towards that they'd jump at it, well of course they would but the sub spot Neil mentioned it much more likely.

Yeah fuck it let’s have them.

EDIT: Imagine if it’s Foals, the 1975, Elton John/Fleetwood Mac

Surely no one is surprised Foals are headline material.

They wouldn't have 4 headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

Foals fans:  Foals new single is a huge banger, an enormous return to form that will see them embraced as the headliners they were born to be

Rest of the world:  OK?

Foals:  * release Black Bull *

Rest of the world:  Has someone trapped a wasp in a biscuit tin?

How would you all feel about;

Foals, Fleetwood Mac, The 1975?

Would you love it, or would it look like one headliner got all the money?

Don’t see those headliners at all.

IMO it’ll be one of Foals/1975 - 1975

One of FM/Reg - Reg

A big female pop star - Tay Tay.

I’d love it. Something for everyone. Hungry young British bands and cash-hungry old fogies for the box-tickers.

Would prefer Kendrick Lamar in the place of Foals/1975 but he gets paid way too much and does about 70 minutes max so that might have to wait.

Swizzle was on the farm, so obviously  checking it out. Foals were only spotted at Bristol Airport.

Agree.

[Matt42]

I know I’ve slated Foals before and whilst I may disagree they are the best choice for a headliner it definitely looks like they are there in 2020 and they are expressing the view that they want to headline. Can’t really argue with that.

Whilst I think the 1975 are now big enough and probably a stronger choice it seems like they genuinely haven’t been asked. It’s very peculiar imo. Perhaps the festival isn’t that bothered about them.

Whilst there are lots of talk of Fleetwood and Elton both of them could easily just not do it. They’ve both skipped it before even when they’ve been in the area.

And Taylor - whilst it would be great, she’s not one to do festival shows.

Ariana isn’t touring next year, Tool wouldn’t headline Glastonbury (maybe other stage), Guns and Roses seems like a stretch. No mention that AM are on or starting another album cycle.

Back at square one really. I’m expecting a surprise reunion at this point.

How would you all feel about;

Foals, Kasabian, The 1975?

Would you love it, or would it look like the golden era was over?

I hope not. I want at least one of Foals/FM!! 

Do FM count as a female headliner...? I presume so...?
