The volume/sound quality of the WH stage that night. Was it atmospherics? Not sure i've ever experienced that stage sound as good.

Incredible. In terms of sound, up there with Blur '09 and Cure '19

Best electronica/dance live performance I've ever seen.

Here's the full set

 

Watched this set while trying to stop people knocking into my brother who had broken his arm the night before during Foo Fighters.

I think because they played in 19 & 18 it would be unlikely that they would be back. Headlining in '19 is really only 2 festival gap which doesn't seem long enough.

Brandon showed up this year with Elton as well...

I agree, but the general consensus on this forum is usually that if someone has a GSH, they literally must be playing in some form! ; )

That's among the reasons they shouldn't be booked.

Is it just me that likes a sh*t Pyramid headliner? Frees you up to do something else.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd rather be spoilt for choice with a world class line up across the stages.

When I saw the posts on the previous page about E* S*****n I was trying to remember what I saw that Sunday night... Biffy, a bit of London Grammar, spent some time at Arcadia, then caught the end of Hackney Colliery Band, some of Kangaroo Moon's set in Avalon Cafe, and finished up in the Lizzard cafe in Green Futures. Was a good one. 

As for The Killers, wouldn't be surprised if they show up in a similar place to Foos this year. That or maybe opening one of the stages.

I'd suggest that once they've announced their plans for the rest of Europe, that hole probably won't be there anymore. Those dates are partial at best.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe c**tybaws just fancies his turn at going as a punter.

Maybe, but why would they do most of UK, go to Europe then back to London? If anything, the gap would be for additonal UK dates if they sell out quickly.

Killers doing a churnups? Brandon might just say if it’s good enough for that Grohl guy then it’s good enough for me.

Would border on overkill for them given 2017, 2019, his appearance this year and now this, but also if they’ve asked the festival if they can do a Churnups then no way are the festival gonna say no.

[Avalon_Fields]

They'll have to have a new permanent name 'Glastonbury Festival of Coldplay and The Killers'

Do artists not simply have a GSH because they know a sizeable chunk of their potential audience are likely to be otherwise occupied that weekend? Seems a sensible time to insert a break into the touring schedule…also a good time to nip across to Dublin. Seeing Pulp, DM, Blur, Richard Hawley, Self Esteem and Young Fathers cushioned the blow of missing out last year…swings & roundabouts though, this year LCDSS playing 10 minutes from my house but I’ll be in a field with you lot!

Yes that makes a lot of sense.

Play a show in Amsterdam or wherever that weekend as less of your audience is off at (or pining after) Glastonbury.

Is the list of 'friends of the festival' who could turn up for a secret set and/or headline becoming unmanageably long? 

Off the top of my head you've got: Coldplay, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Pulp, Blur, The Killers (and probably some I'm forgetting)

If the Eavises keep making friends and having artists fall in love with Glastonbury, the competition for a secret slot will be almost as fierce as the scrap for tickets.
