Who would I consider 'proven' headliners? Cept for Radiohead I would say the likes of (and this in no way represents who I would like to see - or even who I think will play for that matter!):

Muse

Coldplay

The Who

Arctic Monkeys

KOL

The Killers

Morrissey

Foo Fighters

That I can think of of the top of my head..

As I said I think Elbow would pull it off but I guess I'm just thinking of Neil's comments about the locals reaction when Muse headlined in 2004 (well when they were announced - not so much afterwards!) and I take that as they were wanting a more well known band and judging by some of my friends, colleagues etc they wouldn't consider Elbow that big.

Maybe if the other 2 headliners were more well known names then it wouldn't be an issue...

Agreed. Well, the Killers just spent the last two years playing every city and every festival in the world, as did Kings of Leon. And I know KOL is supposed to take a break next year, so maybe the Killers will too.

I just hope the Eavises (Eavii?) keep working on convincing Jarvis to get Pulp back together.

Looking at that list of suggested (speculative!) headliners above, I really can't see Morrissey being included realisticly -- he's had so many health scares and cancelled shows of late ...

Also, you just have to include Radiohead (subject of this thread!) on that 'realistic headliners' list, surely. I can't understand (whether people like them or not!) why their chances are being downgraded.

Unfortunately Coldplay seem realistic prospects too :P:P

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
