How can you be 'expecting big things' from a band with 7 albums?

I worded that wrong. I mean expect them to become more widely recieved. Much like elbow have over their last 2/3 albums.

Surely they'd headline the other stage / sub on the pyramid?

If I were to guess three now it would be Pulp, The Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga...

Pulp:

Pros - Absolutely nailed it on the Park. Jarvis giving hints about doing a 5th. My guess is Emily will have a big say in this

Minuses - Can't see them doing new material. Will they still be back together in 2013? Maybe it's already the plan to do it as a farewell gig?!

The Rolling Stones:

Pros - With a succession of HUGE acts doing it (U2 being the most recent example) recently it feels more likely they'll say yes.

Minuses - They'll only do it if they fancy it, that year. I think they came close this time and it didn't happen. ME once said they were the one band he didn't think would ever play...

Lady Gaga:

Pros - Would give the line-up a bit of diversity. My guess is she'll still be huge in 2013.

Minuses - Can't really think of any; maybe too many costume changes...


Other names I think will be in the mix:

Green Day - Feels really unlikely, but I think they'd do a wonderful job

Foo Fighters - I think they'd be wlikeful. I'd guess they'd likee to do it. I think it's more likely after QOTSA doing such a good job

Arcade Fire - I think they're less likely; made it well known they didn't enjoy it in 2007. Maybe the sunshine of the last couple of years will persuade them otherwise.

Eminem - Still seems a little unlikely to me but if he gets his stuff together I think it would be great (and make Jay Z look like less of a one off)

Radiohead - Mixed feelings on this one. I suspect that they're much happier doing sets like the one they did at the park rather than the idea of doing a crowd-pleasing headline slot. A 3rd straight fest (even with the gap) might be a bit much too

The Smiths/ Stone Roses/ Led Zep etc. - Never seem in any way likely; if any of themthet back together it would be for teh cash; they've had lots of opportunities to do it for Glasto

Pleased to see that my tips here have lasted longer than my picks for the grand national usually do!

Obviously The Stone Roses getting back together throws something into the mix. Not sure why I didn't mention Adele but I'm fairly convinced she'll do a guest slot on The Park stage (doesn't like big crowds apparently)

The fact that ME says the headliners are sorted out (he always bloody says that!) seems to make the Stones less likely but I guess we'll see in less than a year...

Pearl Jam is not that heavy, personally I like their ballads best Just the ticketmaster incident.. Gotta love those guys, but I don't think they'll play Glasto, even though I think few bands would kill it as they would've.

Ahh I prefer their ballads too And I thought the reason Eavis doesn't book heavier bands was due to the Roskilde incident? If so I can't see him booking Pearl Jam. And yep, poor choice of words at the end there

I'd quite like to see Benjamin Francis Leftwich - although not really headline material imo - would like to see him somewhere ? not sure where he'd fit in though

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Midway up JPT, low to mid other. Definitely not headline. Maybe low pyramid.

Adding to my Fleetwood Mac wish/prediction:

Fleetwood Mac
Mumford And Sons
Santana
Bob Dylan
Noah And The Whale
Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Ben Howard


I dislike quite a few on that list, but thought i'd make it reasonably realistic.

yea I didn't think headline at all, pyramid seems too big too I think? I was wondering if perhaps an even smaller more intimate stage than the JP would be better for Benjamin Francis??
