Headliner predictions 2017

[CaledonianGonzo]

I was meaning as the main event.  Ed's obviously the likeliest suspect, but if he's *not* doing it then there aren't dozens of other likely contenders.

I don't have time to read through umpteen posts....

 

HAS THE THINGY BEEN UPDATED?!!!!

Who are the likely contenders? Ed and Gaga are two (although I still think Gaga is a sub). Rhianna and Daft Punk seem less likely. Don't think it will be the Foos as they've already got two guitar bands and they won't come back just for GF. Who else is there?

Maybe they've thrown a curve ball and got someone like Madonna? Someone who hasn't announced any plans yet?

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's it - there's not that many, unless they're planning on really squashing our expectations with the likes of Kings of Leon or Biffy Clyro.

[Gucci Piggy]

The Stone Roses, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar (if he is indeed headlining Coachella), Beyoncé, U2, other random returners like Paul McCartney, probably some more I've forgotten before you move onto the likes of KOL.

Edit: but it's obviously gonna be Sheeran and the Roses

Rihanna will never do it now, past her peak

I dunno if I'd rule her out entirely.  She's in a bit of a dip at the minute, but she's not completely flatlined.

[karaseen]

Can someone remind me what info Neil has about Lady Gaga?  I'm too hungover to scroll through 112 pages of thread.... 

[CaledonianGonzo]

We've forgotten about this cheeky scamp being active at the time.

IT WAS HIM ALL ALONG

So, with Neil's Radiohead info having come from the same source, the Roses are looking even more nailed on than ever then.

Yep.

I've actually got two of the same sources for that as I had for RH, but for different reasons (and no offence meant to the sources) I don't quiet feel i can take either as certain - tho I will be hugely surprised if Roses turns out to be wrong.

@eFestivals more confident than ever about TSR given that Radiohead is confirmed? 

I was pretty damned confident anyway - from as soon as they announced dates for next summer - but it definitely helps.

I hope not.  I've got £270 quid riding on your info being good!

Does this give a green light to Lady Gaga?

I listened to Perfect Illusion the other day because Lars from the Black Keys was ripping Homme's guitarwork and it's just baffling. She sounds like on Eurovision when they try to sing in English, even though it's her mother tongue. That shit's gonna brick.

Be happy if you're not spending every night at the Pyramid!

I now don't think there was anything good about the info I had.

If you want to hang your hat on any other the other rumours out there, go for it.

I wouldn't mind it as it`d be a nice change of pace for me, since I started going in 2013 I've only seen 1 headliner at the pyramid in all that time, (Metallica)

This makes me soooo happy! 

[Madyaker]

Any other non Ed fans hoping he's the third so we don't have to spend 3 nights at the pyramid?

[Calvin Klein]

Yeah. Seeing a pyramid headliner takes more time than others and it's obvious there's gonna be other great options in many stages.
