Sub to be added?

[Hugh Jass]

Nah they wouldn't clash Courteeners and The Charlatans. Somebody who specifically isn't a lads band most likely.

I really want Oasis in that slot now just to make fans of the Courteeners' heads explode.

[briddj]

think it will be an indie/rock act to keep the average fan happy, strokes?

 

I'd have thought they'll want too much £.

If I'm right in interpreting Emily's comment as to mean it's now sorted out, there must be a reason they're delaying the announcement, so Kylie would be my bet.

EDIT: I apologise if someone's already put forward this idea, been hard to keep up today.

The Strokes would make sense in the way that they would appeal to a fair amount of people who are angry about Foo Fighters, Faithless anyone?

[briddj]

I just thought "Faithless?" too.

[Northern-Monkey]

According to James management the guys would love to do Glastonbury again but haven't been asked.

Feel free to badger Emily to try and make it happen.

[Andy0808 v5]

I don't think I can handle Glastonbury 2015 anymore.

[Wanderlei]

Lily Allen?

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's time they bumped up Fishbulb and the Catwomen.

[dingbat2]

Dare I say it but Elbow again. I know they are still doing a few gigs here and there at the moment, include Wercheter the night before and they haven't got anything else the rest of the weekend. And they love Glasto and the Eaviis love them. habitual subbers, including last year. They will need to mix it up wih some older stuff if they did it, otherwise they'll just be repeating last years set. Nah, probably not

[paulmuchmore]

I would hate if Elbow filled the gap. Well, actually, I wouldn't care. I'd go elsewhere.

 

I just hate Elbow so much. Such a dull band.

Elbow aka 'Pyramid Sub Squatters'

[MEGABOWL]

Bring back Sheriff Lobo

Brew everywhere!

This made me laugh. Blunt and to the point! 

 

And I actually agree too.

[rawaudioinput]

Elbow would be a fairly safe but also fairly poor choice

 

From what I saw the crowd didn't seem that in to it last year

[kingcrawler]

I enjoyed Elbow last year but doubt I'd bother seeing them again given it'd be a similar set.

[thewayiam]

Save them for the Foo's sub next year

A lot has to do with who goes on before/after a band too.

I don't think FatM would have gone down well with many who had just watched Motorhead n were waiting for the Foo's...

So it is almost definitely a 'band' emphasis on one. Booked and slotted before Florence.

I'm hoping for foals, but elbow are about and can play... It's erm... Hmm...

This guy also said he'd eat his hat if he's wrong..

[incident]

And if he doesn't have a hat, he can borrow one from Paddy Ashdown.

[Franky]

Please be Faithless !

hmm i know it's a last minute thing but it seems pretty stupid to get an act who subbed last year and has had no new material since to do it again, especially when other acts like Stereophonics and James (regardless of what you think of them) are offering their services

[FuzzyDunlop]

Surely not?

They only bored people to death 12 months ago.

[willutalk]

Elbow would be a massive turn off. I'm sure Guy Garvey is a nice guy but he's really hanging onto the success by their one hit wonder. It's exactly the sort of music that Glasto need to leave behind. Getting Elbow would really be rubbing my wounds of losing FF.
