Only one way to break the cycle:

Was it actually Interpol he was watching?

Where did you read that , thought Coldplay had stopped touring 

They never said they will stop touring only that they would tour in a sustainable way so just boats rather than planes I guess.

So damaging the environment is bad but damaging people’s ears is good.

They’re doing all future shows from their own permanent stage erected smack bang in the middle of the Pyramid field.

Wrong thread. That’s not around Glastonbury.

Opps, sorry was in a hurry to post it as a small venue and thought likely to sell out and must have misread the title.

They had a Finsbury Park show arranged for Glastonbury weekend in 2020 so I can imagine that'll be the plan again.

Prob some close proximity filler fests around all that. Lolla Stolkholm and the like.

I’m certainly up for it, love the current album, best in ages.

Yeah quite likely.

Alternatively, they could be leaving it free as a backup - I'm sure some artists do that, based on the frequency of 'Glasto shaped holes' - which is about their level now. But either way, I'm pretty sure they would not be booked to headline 10 months out.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Could they take Mumfords place if they're out of the picture next year?

Billie Eilish support acts for London. Jessie Ryez, Arlo Parks, Jungle and Girl in Red

If it hadn't been for the QOTSA news, I'd have said Royal Blood and Biffy could have subbed or headlined the Other.

Let’s not forget Biffy are playing download… which explains the June dates.

Think Royal Blood are a big shout to sub.

Them, Lorde and Noel.

[Matt42]

I still think Foos were due to be a surprise for the 2020 festival. Their random EU tour right around the festival with no release and no UK date was highly suspicious.

In my mind they would have to guest on either other or pyramid. They’d get a massive crowd if it leaked.

Any bigger than the Killers?

I still reckon Biffy will be there. I thought that though when Download was announced. Download don't have a hold on them not to, Glastonbury is essentially sold. 

It will also will also have been 4 years. My guess now is Biffy Clyro, Noel Gallagher and Dua Lipa to sub.

Royal Blood are playing too many gigs this year of those smaller to medium festivals with Victorious I guess being classed as a large but they don't get main stage headliners.

I don't think the festival need to get Haim or Wolf Alice to sub when bigger options are around and Reading haven't given Wolf Alice a slot big enough for them to demand higher. Haim 3rd down I agree but they still haven't sold out Nottingham yet or a second night at Manchestet Victoria.

I think Lorde maybe a perfect alternative to Arctics on Saturday on Other. I'm not kinda in the thought Fatboy Slim may not Other but I'm touting him for WHs headliner. Not your usual type but the gigs he's doing on tour are big enough to be above JP easily.

I'm also going for Architects to play 3rd down Other stage.

I think AJ Tracey subbing Other under Lorde works. His tour dates aren't flying out either even on the standing. I think it was premature to be playing those venues for him personally.

So maybe like.

Billie, Dua Lipa, Catfish +TBM

QOTSA, Wolf Alice, Architects

 

Arctic Monkeys, Noel Gallagher, Aerosmith, Mabel, Crowded House 

Lorde, AJ Tracey, Blossoms

 

Elton or Macca, Biffy Clyro, Haim, Diana Ross, The Specials

Pet Shop Boys, Anne-Marie

 

I think Mabel flows into AJ and Lorde for the youngsters.

Swap Dua and Lorde around and you might be on to something.

Do you think they'd repeat a killers situation again? Sounded a bit like a logistical nightmare 

[Matt42]

@thewayiamnot quoting as it's very long but I do agree that there are lot of potential sub options now so the chances of Haim / Wolf Alice getting it seems less likely. Agree they are both more likely for third down.
