Drake would be a better fit for the festival anyway. Kendrick for Prima please :grin:

Just hold on…

Sometimes Glastonbury is great in giving you the opportunity to see something you’d quite like to but wouldn’t pay for. Drake is one of those. Also one of the few biggest pop stars on the planet at the commercial peak of his career. Why not?

Kendrick won’t be doing it. The 1975, Muse and someone else (probably Macca) is a good shout.

It’ll be The Cure, not Muse.

Macca, Drake and The Cure would be good as far as Glastonbury goes

1975 hardly seem to have the crosd generational appeal that most headliners have for this tho?

I thought their last album was pretty good and had a few big crossover singles on it. The bigger problem about them headlining is I don’t think they’re actually very good as a live act.

Aye, like they wouldn’t just give it to any old schmuck with a loop pedal, for example

David Thomas Broughton is headlining?!

They’re hugely popular amongst teens/twentysomethings, but the Eavis’ have often talked about giving some headliners a “leg up” if they’re maybe not at the point where it’s obvious they’d headline. I think they mentioned that when Mumfords did it a few years ago, and Florence when she replaced the Foo Fighters.

Nah mate, Edgar Broughton.

(This is fucking class tbf.)

On The 1975, I’d imagine they’re more likely lined up to headline Reading, i mean they’ll surely do one or the other, but they would be a bigger value draw for Reading. Also, not that it means much, but they did announce their new album release date with posters at Reading this year.

Eh?

This has been covered above, but 2007 was a nightmarish festival experience and we vowed never to return. There was some of the glasto magic, sure, but traipsing for up to an hour between stages in knee deep glue was not a fun time. Its also not being able to sit down because its so wet and not being able to talk to anyone because your hood is up and all you can hear is the rain hitting your head. Scared me off Glasto 4lyf m8.

Did they ever do anything about the new site/festival they were talking about a while back?

So, Stormzy to headline the Friday, apaz. Yer man at eFestivals got told something, then this on the radio:

Not relevant to my musical interests particularly, but 100% absolutely the kind of booking they should be making.
