right,ive racked my tiny brain for all possible headliners i can think of that are likely!

:P

Seem most likely:

PULP :)

RADIOHEAD :)

ARCADE FIRE :)

KASABIAN :)

THE CURE :)

seems to be everyones dreamy headliners:

DAFT PUNK(maybe suited for other stage headliner though?)

THE ROLLING STONES

LED ZEPELIN

PINK FLOYD members

FLEETWOOD MAC

PAUL MCCARTNEY(again,please!)

red hot chili peppers?

( i know perhaps the eavis's arent fans,but if the new album is good,and the band play the hits,it could go down well,a massive band thats never played let alone never headlined before!)they have some bad headline shows,but have had good ones too.

big acts for pyramid stage:

noel gallagher( maybe with johnny marr alongside him on guitar aswell?)

lou reed,

iggy and the stooges,

dolly parton,

elton john,

billy bragg(aswell as left field curator and performer still,need his words to get to the big stage!)

chuck berry,

robert plant,

paul weller,

some form of the beach boys appearing(remaining members with touring members),

bootleg beatles!

pink floyd cover band if not pink floyd members there themselves.

jack penate?

jamie t?,

dylan?

amy winehouse?,

Thinking about possible album cycles:

Arcade Fire

Take That

Lady Gaga

Jay Z

Kanye West

Jay Z + Kanye West

Biffy Clyro (if people saying Mumford are big enough then who knows?)

The Killers

Muse (doubt so soon after 2010)

Then there is obviously the outsider, more established headliners from leftfield such as:

Elton John

Radiohead

R.E.M.

Daft Punk

Macca

Damon Albarn in some form

Bowie

The Cure

Stone Roses

Beach Boys

Animal Collective...

I still think though that 2013 where you will see acts like Foals, Wild Beasts etc getting bumped up the lineups closer to the top of the Other Stage and Pyramid. (That is my hope anyway)

Think the xx will be back by 2013 as well, will be interesting to see where they slot in.

Radiohead just posted a video of them playing bloom this year and wrote this:

'Yes it rains at the end, and the wet smudges the lights and everything spins out nicely.

We loved playing at Glastonbury, and can't wait to do it again soon

Thanks to Polar1one for making the video.

THE ROLLING STONES

with the 2nd headliners as:

PULP (2nd to radiohead)

NOEL GALLAGHER (2nd to kasabian)

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS(2nd to the rolling stones)

For me, I would like:

Fri - The Arcade Fire.

Sat - any old shit that would attract the chair brigade and people who want to talk to their mates/do their makeup/get bothered about who is standing in 'their' space through the gig then tell everyone "oh, yaaaahh, I was at <insert bollocks> and it was, like, the best gig evaaahhh!", let's say the rolling stones, radiohead or some other predictable nonsense.

Sun - Madonna.

With the other stage hosting:

Fri - Currently popular indie landfill or dance tinged shite performed by 30 somethings trying to dress like 20 somethings to impress teenagers whilst looking like they've spent 18 months on heroin, living in a bedsit in streatham and selling mobile phones at cashconverters is their main source of income.

Sat - Pearl Jam.

Sun - Bjork.

That way I can get my pyramid fix on the friday and enjoy 2 great gigs away from the sheep the next 2 days ;)

    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!!   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 4. Gorillaz 5. MBV 6. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 7. NewDad 8. Big Thief 9. Annastashia  10. Kneecap   We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto of Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
    • No complaints about the sound. We were like 2nd set of steps facing stage right in like the middle row.
    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
