Headliners 2016

[the wonderwhy]

Probably not, Sky paid out on Viva I think 

[ghostdancer1]

pretty poor, Beyonce and Bruno Mars part was utterly dreadful.

Beyonce just announce a world tour, with dates in the UK starting end of June.

Odds on her appearing with Coldplay?

[Mash011]

Beyonce has a glastonbury sized gap with UK dates starting on the 28th June. Won't be a headliner but you can bet she'll appear with Coldplay.

Balls.

Well from that, what's the Sunday night alternative looking like?

You'll have the wonders of Bring Me The Horizon on the other stage to look forward to. Personally I'm hoping Wilco do the Park on that day.

Yeah, Paddy Power just paid out for me! Touch and go there though. I owe you a pint!

What was the Glastonbury themed deal all about at the halftime show? Wasn't planning on watching any of the Super Bowl but the lovely people in charge of the Nottingham tram network decided to replace a load of track outside my apartment at 2:30am. Thankfully I got woken up after the Coldplay deal so I didn't have to sit through Bruno Mars.

There wasn't anything really. I saw some grass and lots of people. That's about it.

Isn't sounding hopeful unless Wilco or someone else is announced lower

Yeah it looks very probably with the dates announced. No one ever does more thab 1 night at Sunderland either I don't think lol. No more encouraging to go to the set though.

Personally, I'm not convinced she'll be *that* big of a draw either. I have a feeling that the Venn diagram of Glastonbury's demographic and Adele album buyers isn't all that massive.

How big was Beyonce's crowd, stu?

That aside, I happen to know that bands who have been told they'll be playing at around the same time as Adele aren't very keen to have that slot as they're worried they'll be playing to an empty field.

Does this mean you are now confident Adeles playing?

[chrislfc]

Are people still thinking Adele is Saturday night?

Personally I think she'll be Sunday night instead.

Muse

Coldplay

Adele

It would give the locals who come in on the free tickets a chance to see her though.

Help keep them sweet maybe?

True, but Coldplay appeal to those same people anyway. I think they'd want Adele on the Saturday night for the TV.

I'm a big coldplay fan but that half time show was shite, why on earth did they let Bruno and Beyonce take up valuable minutes when they only get 12 to perform!

[chrislfc]

Also I think that traditionally The Other Stage has a decent dance act on on a Sunday night which would help pull the crowd away from her.

Who are we guessing is playing The Other Stage on the Sunday this year?

I take it you've never watched the show at superbowl before, because it's always the most dreadful plastic shite that the yanks love.

Even coldplay fans think coldplay are shite. God help us!
