As per the title, why are some bands more suited to headline Glastonbury than others? I have been watching all the threads and I notice that when Take That (for instance) are mentioned to be a possible headliner there are a few who say they are not really a Glastonbury headliner act.

2011 is my first Glasto for me so was just wondering this!

they must be human with a big following. (and not metal!)

I think it's just a bit of music snobbery coming out there to be honest from people who would rather an artist / group that say, play their own instruments or have a 'legendry' status headlined.

Take that are certainly big enough to headline in my opinion with a huge back catalogue of well known songs. I'm sure they would go down a storm with all that went along.

Personally though, I'd rather cut off my own ears.

I suggested on another thread that no member of the band should have been on Strictly Come Dancing, either as a contestant or guest performer.   Ampersand then expanded that to include the X-Factor.

To be fair I'd probably expand even further to include any reality tv show at all.

Will Youngs performed a couple of times, in Avalon(?) and always seems to go down well.

Yeah, but would you be front and centre if he headlined the pyramid??

To be fair, this is how we should describe it, but if we're including guests, we had have to say no Paul McCartney ever again either?!
