2013 Headliners

[gazza_20]

at the moment it looks like it could just be pheonix headliners booked for glasto the following year

[LondonTom]

I don't think we would get Kasbian thrown in with the now inevitable Radiohead/Stone Roses headliners now, 3 white boy indie bands?! heaven forbid!! (not these days) Chuck GaGa in or maybe take out radiohead altought I read today they are planning to tour next year to, so that would stretch to glasto.

Dreams of Pulp and arcade fire getting another headline slot are dying by the second.

Oh hum, hopefully west hotls /other stage will provide brilliant alternatives again.!! (More west holts i think. As other stage could turn to pop against the pyramid indie as things stand:P)

So this is my betting:

Pyramid

Friday: GaGa/Dizzie Rascal

Saturday: Stone Roses

Sunday: Radiohead

Other

Friday: Arcade Fire

Saturday: Florence and the Machine

Sunday: Some sort of big dance act

The other thing is ...

Given this will be a year after the reunion, won't the buzz have died down to the point that this won't impress people as a headliner. Everybody who will have wanted to see them would have done so already in 2012 and by the time 2013 rolls around then this will all just be old news and just another reformed act living off past glories - which basically is just one excellent album, and one mediocre album. It won't be special anymore.

Unless of course they become an active band and start releasing new material, in which case things will be different. But while they say they are going to do this, I'll have to see it to believe it.

Bit of a weird statement. The only act who seemed to be in with a shout (Radiohead) have not had any links to Glasto yet. With regards to Roses, Eavis likes many bands. There's nothing at all about Kasabian etc. etc.

[LondonTom]

Radiohead are the 1st band up on the Glasto rumors page and more than likely with a new album, will finish it off there.

The Roses, you put two and two, efestivals believe there is a high chance and it'd be huge for them to do that.

Kasabian have been approached and R&L have been very reluctant in the past to give them the slot others will. Not since o5's NME headline slot have they played.

The one universal constant in life is that Radiohead are rumoured to headline Glastonbury every year

[gazza_20]

My apologies, I meant Phoenix. Correct me if i'm wrong, there's no links as of yet to Phoenix with regards to Radiohead? Considering they've said they're arena touring UK & US Feb-Nov, I'd say it's looking pretty unlikely for them to be at Phoenix.

With regards to Roses, again, there's no links to Glasto, other than Eavis saying she was looking forward to it?

Kasabian, no links to Glasto, pretty sure Eavis would tell them where to get off with regards to headlining. Remember they were a stand in in '09, I doubt they would have got that slot anyway. Has there been any links to Phoenix? I know I read someone the other day saying they believed Kasabian had been approached for Phoenix but i've only seen that.

Ignoring all that, and taking the recent discussions on here about the synchronising of bookings between FR/Glasto and others, do you really think Glasto would think "I Know, for our big comeback year, let's book exactly the same headliners as a fest had last year"?

I'm rather concerned it may be Florence and her fecking ubiquitous Machine.

corrected for you.

Only came into my mind today... maybe Arctic Monkeys will return? Either for this circle, or possibly the next.

[Bisque]

Dizzee Rascal? Or is that too mainstream?

[worthyraver]

Orbital have a new album and UK tour ( ) so maybe they will headline the Other Stage like in 2010

[swede]

Stone Roses, Radiohead, Lady Gaga.....thats my 3. Although it does depend on the roses staying together, id be suprised if they even make it to the Heaton Park gigs.

[NeilVJ]

The Arctic monkeys have really reinvented themselves over the last 2 albums, this seems to have lost the 'Football Crowd' fans that followed them after their first 2 albums, not a bad thing. I think Florence & the machine must be an outside shot. I've seen her be brilliant (09 Glasto) but also be awful (2010 Glasto). The new album is very good and getting very good reviews. The problem she has live is that when presented with a large crowd she tries to belt out the songs and a lot of the notes sound as Neil said very like screenching. When reeled in and her voice a bit more low key and controlled she is very good live.

Agree with this, i think in some ways they been kind of brave to not just become the next Oasis. I didn't care for the 3rd one but can see why they put it out and about half the 2nd was bit meh. But the 3rd is growing on me. They still seem bit boring live from TV though :S

[NeilVJ]

I really enjoyed their set at T in the Park this year. 2nd and 3rd albums were a bit hit and miss for me but I'm quite impressed by their new one. Glad they didn't try and just recreate the first album over and over. Could easily have become the next Oasis like you said, but very glad they didn't.
