2008 says hello

compared to arctic monkeys, the rolling stones and mumford and sons

I can't see arcade fire, the eagles and kasabian getting the same reaction.

[coma girl]

I'm not fussed either way about the Eagles, but are they really so unpopular that it would prevent the festival selling out?

A woman I work with was saying how she was having a tough time trying to get tickets for their Glasgow show(s) which I took to mean they must still be pretty popular as a live act. Mind you maybe a lot of people who'd see them at an arena wouldn't dream of attending a festival though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I...would....probably....go...to.....see The Eagles.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

I dunno. The Eagles could have mass appeal to some of the older end who were umming and arring as to whether or not their bodies can hack it anymore.

[FloorFiller]

it won't have people scrambling over each other for tickets like last year, but Glastonbury has become such a monster in the last few years that three absolutely awful headliners still wouldn't prevent it from selling out in a matter of hours

The Eagles are still a HUGE act. maybe not for the typical festival crowd, but their being at the festival is hardly going to put off people from going

[Matt42]

I was only kidding really however I can't see this being a stand out year

I think the only headliner i'd actually want to see is Arcade Fire, even if I went i'd have an amazing time to be fair.

[Guest]

have I missed something...? isn't the festival already sold out?

[Mardy]

I won my bet with myself.

(That you'd be on here within 30mins. An hour at a push).

People buy the deposit tickets just because they can, and will decide if they're going when the time comes to pay up.

If the headliners aren't so appealing to people, then people are less likely to pay up their their tickets than would if the headliners were (say) The Rolling Stones x 3.

[Matt42]

That's the only headlner I want to see but I'm not writing the year off.

Although, I can see the point that there are gonna be many that criticise the line up with expectations seemingly through the roof after last year with people's 'WOW Scales' and what-have-you.

Plus, the resales aren't gonna be as heartbreaking as last year, I think the resale tickets will be gone by lunchtime still though.

[eFestivals]

and people seriously think the few thousand that will be available might not go because of the headliners..???

The perceived quality of the headliners will certainly affect how many decide follow thru 9or not) on their ticket purchase when they have to pay the rest in April.

How big that number might be I wouldn't like to guess, but there'll defo be some.

[FloorFiller]

If you been to glasto before i'm sure you don't have a reason to be phased.

I could of enjoyed glastonbury last year without seeing an act, and seriously it ruined it abit rushing around alot!

I enjoyed the stones alot though... and I do feel you need one big act to see...

[Guest]

yeah the fact that The Eagles are the 'biggie' this year will definitely have an effect on some people, as they're very much not your typical 'must see' act for people like Stones, Bowie etc were / would be
