LeeGalvin Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I don't buy that line-up.But y'know, I've recently been having second thoughts re: my attitude towards Adele playing. I was always against the idea, but actually I wouldn't really mind it at all. Sure, I'd rather have Radiohead, but I'd certainly rather see Adele than Coldplay. The more I think about an Adele headlining slot, the more I believe she'd do a pretty fantastic job of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 All 3 are realistic indvidually, but I can't see them as a combination.. What I found more interesting in the comments."When Glastonbury first started there were terrific rock bands such as Traffic , Hawkwind and Fairport Convention rather than the corporate rubbish we see today. Glastonbury has become a middle class, middle of the road capitalist sell out...."Says the person registered on the Daily Mail web site.

Terence Fletcher Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 0/3 headliners I will be watching then if the Daily Heil is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 If that line up is true then it will be the first time ever that I will not see any headliners at the Pyramid. I have seen Muse and Coldplay headline festivals a few times and although Adele may possibly deliver a Glastonbury 'moment' I just find her too beige. Still, it would then free up time for other things. How right has The Daily Heil been over the years!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 How right has The Daily Heil been over the years!?I don't think that's necessarily relevant. If they have a source - which might not be the same as any previous source (so past performance isn't necessarily relevant) - it's all about how accurate the info is from that source.Unfortunately, tho. Glastonbury have plans about what they're wanting to do, and those plans sometimes get leaked out into the world ... but it doesn't mean those plans actually happen.So the info can be spot on because it's what Glastonbury are hoping to happen, and yet still end up being wrong for what is announced. As this year got to show, it can be into April before the actual headliners get signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Interesting point Neil. So they could be right then.for a number of different reasons going right back to the beginning of the year I'm pretty sure that Glasto are trying to get Adele for next year. Whether or not she's prepared to do it tho is another thing. If we take what she says at face value then she's too scared to do it, tho there's a few reasons why that idea shouldn't necessarily be taken at face value.Other acts who might be top of the bill I've got less idea about, tho I've a few reasons to favour Foos over Muse - tho I wouldn't be too surprised if it were Muse.The thing that's a little confusing about these two names tho is that I think one of them being mentioned is being mentioned by someone who is wrong and always was (as opposed to plans having changed) - as I'm of the belief that Glasto will have known if Foos were in or out by about the beginning of Sept.

musky Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I really can't imagine Adele playing, given her announcement last week and her dislike of large audiences. Glastonbury may well want her to do it, I just can't see her saying yes. That comment about Traffic, Hawkwind and Fairport Convention made me chuckle. Out of all the rock bands in the seventies he's singled out these as examples of terrific bands, as compared to some of the acts (both large and small) booked in recent years.

sime Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks Neil. It does seem more and more like Adele is going to be one of the headliners (nerves aside). I am hoping for Foo Fighters as they always put on a good show. I must say, I really liked how the festival made all their stage announcements last year and hope they repeat this for 2016. Still, some leaks would be good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it about Foo's that made you reckon/believe it was them? Your last response I remember seemed to be fair sure they sre in one of the nailed spots.I just don't see Muse doing it next year, surely if they wanted to do it on this album and knowing how it usually works then they wouldn't have agreed to play Download as a sole exclusive.

brettredmayne Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Would not belive the mail if it told the date , I doubt all headline acts are booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'd personally be happy if Muse played but it does seem like a very pointless, boring booking. Combine that with Coldplay back for the 50th time and it looks very week. Personally I'm going to call BS on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Traffic or Fairport actually played back then, did they?They played in 71. Both appear in Nic Roeg's film of the festival but gallingly there's not a single second of Hawkwind.

It's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 i can believe Coldplay and Adele, but not Muse - that would be a shite booking that would lessen those headliners significantly imo (and that's saying something). only way i can see it being them is if plan A fell through, but it seems a bit early for that - surely there are other better options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
