Crowded house are the perfect fun band to get the crowd going

Kasabian!!!

They rarely play Glastonbury (2004, other stage perhaps?) and I think they would fit in well before a 'legend' artist. I'd love the mix of Kasabian fans and 'legend' fans in the in-front-of-barrier area from about 8pm onwards...they even had a #1 album last summer, and when has Stevie last had one? so i reckon they could even get a bigger crowd than stevie (and if they do get a big crowd don't try telling me that all them people were there trying to get 'positioning' for br...err stevie)

there simply isnt a face palm big enough to do that statement justice.

if you really want to see them, go to V, but enough with the Kasabian for glasto 10 shit, its not going to happen, it shouldnt happen.and thats that!!

Some of these posts are absolutely rediculous. Rage against the machine before Stevie Wonder? Come on guys that just wont work!!

Sometimes I don't think people actually think about weather a certain band would work before a certain act clearly specialises in a genre, Machine Head and Rage just wont work! You need something like Earth Wind and Fire or Smokey Robinson before Stevie Wonder.

:P I can't believe I put Kasabian.

i like your thinking but im not sure we need a total motown night

its an important slot so it cant be taken lightly, but it doesnt need to be too heavy, it needs to be an act thats great live, with a repotoire big enough to fill an hour & 15 mins, with big numbers that can get the crowd up for the night and most importantly it needs to have a real big feel good factor.

i wonder if russycarps knows a band that meets the given criteria

    • I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
    • And all (or all but one) of the secret sets repeats though?
    • 1. Coming with my sister (our 4th Sziget together) 2. 3 days (Thursday-Saturday). Would rather do Tuesday-Thursday but not enough AL 😞 3. Wednesday evening  4. Apartment  5. FATM (will be my 10th Florence’s gig) 6. Parcels/Paris Paloma
    • Temperature was the main issue - luke warm at best
