I don't have any money to put on it but I'll put my shout out for David Bowie now. :wacko:

Bjork

Kraftwerk

Boards of Canada

Some sort of opera singer like Pavarotti

CArter USM (they are working on new stuff)

Fri: Mumford and Sons

Saturday - Radiohead

Sunday - Lady Gaga

I think Arcade Fire will have finished touring by then, and Pulp may not come back after this summer. If Arcade Fire and Pulp are still around though, they'll get precedence over Mumford.

David Bowie in 2000 was the single greatest thing in existence. Yes please again in 2013. Can't see it though.

2013 is quite a tough shout - anyone who's touring even this summer could be due another album by then. I'll go Elbow and Arcade Fire, just cos I felt either should have headlined this year.

Pulp would be a dream, but unless they change their minds and record another album, it's not happening. Maybe they have based on Jarvis' comments at the Park gig?

I expect another female headliner. Possibly Gaga but probably Florence + the Machine.

The Rolling Stones keep getting rumored year after year and they keep delaying that final tour, but can't keep that up forever because they are getting older and older. I imagine it's probably 2013 or never for them.

It seems like Radiohead will finally tour again next year, but there's no Glastonbury. Will they conclude the tour at Glastonbury? Hopefully, but I doubt it.

I'd expect something along the lines of

Friday: Kasabian w/biffy OR Foos

Saturday: Gaga

Sunday: Arcade Fire/David Bowie

With candidates for the other stage being, The Libertines, Bloc Party, Daft Punk, Arctic Monkeys?

With a frank turner headliner on the John peel hopefully :)

I was thinking about this too

I reckon that if they're already sorted then Arcade Fire (who may have another album by then) and perhaps Radiohead might turn up and do a proper full set (they're pretty much Glastonbury's favourite band so I don't think people would mind it being the 3rd festival in a row, sort of). I think the last headliner will either be a pop, hip-hop or rap act (because they still face critisism for being a 'white boy's festival') or a legend ie. Bowie.

To the person who said Boards of Canada, just think how incredible a late night (long) set at the Park would be with the dim lights and their quite spooky music and oh my goodness...

and Bjork! come to Glastonbury again, you wonderful Icelandic nutjob!

I thought Pulp could be in with a shout after a. how well they went down, b. Jarvis saying it would be good do do a fifth, and c. didn't they do a new song (or was that someone else?). And watching Beyonce, I did think Lady Gaga could be a pretty great headliner in a couple of years. And someone like Arcade Fire would be great.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
