i'd love to see some of these: Prince, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Foo Fighters, Rolling Stones, Eminem, Madonna.

I see Arcade Fire's name being bandied around a lot - I can't see them as anything more than a middle of the line up - am I missing something? OK they have good tunes but there are not exactly massive in the U2 Coldplay style are they. It would surely have to be a BIG leap forwards for them.

Yeah as has been said on another thread arcade fire have won the Grammy for album of the year, headlined Leeds and reading, benicassim and other big European festivals, played Hyde park and O2 arena gigs. Can't think of many acts around that can claim these things wihtout being a worthy pyramid headliner...only argument is whether they are mainstream enough judging by what was on the pyramid this year. If davis has any sense (and he generally seems to) then they'd be great booking. I think having someone like gaga on one of the other nights would balance the line-up quite well...

Arcade Fire, Lady GaGa, Radiohead/Pulp

I don't think they'll top this years headliners for purely musically massive acts but then I'll go somewhere else if not my cup of tea.

I'd have thought we'll maybe see The Prodigy back to do the Sunday night other stage headliner.

I can't see Arcade taking less than headline by then and GaGa is almost thought to be pretty much going to happen.

Radiohead/Pulp - one must surely happen as it's the same process every year.

Ideally I'd like a Radiohead/The Prodigy last night clash.

Bjork has a new one out this year, might be up for it in 2013 after a years touring.

I doubt Radiohead , they will have been touring TKOL during 2012 and will not doubt be on another break.

I think possibly Elbow might be due a shout.

A lot can happen in two years.

That's true. I just think Elbow to go up one spot from one glasto to another, I know there's a gap but still only thr glasto after. I'm more against it probably as not really a fan cuz I'd have Coldplay back next time without a 2nd thought.

What's with the big thing about Pulp? Unless I've missed something, they've got no new material from the last decade...maybe it's just me that doesn't get it. :unsure:

Foo Fighters be great I think, the one thing Glastonbury lacks is great rock music!

No I watched The Streets, but I'm sure you know what I mean, "rock" acts seem few and far between at Glastonbury these days....aside from QOTSA and Biffy this year I can't think of any others.

Looking back at old line ups Deftones, Foo Fighters, RATM + other more rock bands have all played!

    • I am as well not a fan of these side by side stages. too many people at the same places and you have always people around you who wait for the other stage... 
    • If only they could get the Bits area back (and add maximum 5k capacity) the site would feel less crowded. 
    • Blame it on the side-by-side setup. There are cases where it works well - got a great location in front of the middle screen for Bexter Dury-Big Thief-Little Simz, just had to move about 20 meters each time for a great location. But on most cases it sucks  
    • was happy to swerve the main stages on Saturday, but thought it was fine for The Cure, we just went down the opposite side & got a decent spot close to the front, everyone into it (admittedly a bit off to the side)   a festival that now books Olivia Rodrigo as a surprise set isn't going to get any smaller, for better or for worse it is miles apart from when I was first going   personally I still find the people amazing, never have any hassle & the line ups are always so strong & diverse.  We will definitely return for the 25th anniversary next year!
    • I love this festival but Mordor has got worse and worse to the point now that I dread going there. 10 years ago there just weren’t as many people, as many bottlenecks and there wasnt the need to arrive early to have a decent spot.
