I certainly agree with this presuming you mean Other Stage headliners, not that I would not want them playing the Pyramid but I just see them being booked for that stage. They were superb this year on West Holts and I regret leaving 10 minutes early to get a good spot for DJ Shadow, had it not been for Kool and the Gang they would have been my festival highlight.

I regret missing this, thinking I'd go get a decent spot for U2. Field was empty for ages up near the sound booth to :(...but agree, Other stage headliners, could see Pyramid as a real outside chance! (Plus if they brought guests ..but then it could all go a bit Gorrilaz, nah just have headline either John Peel or west holts :P)

Just saw this :P We are going ahead of ourselves :P was thinking more of ideal world so they don't get people going on about them being on rotation :P (I could also see 2013 happening but just think they might wanna step back a bit, but we shall see. They looking likely for TiTP at either 2012 or 2013 I think).

Would like to see 2 strong headliners and a band that have never headlined a festival. A bit like it used to be with the likes of skunk anansie, muse, coldplay given a chance to headline festivals.

arcade fire

radiohead

daft punk

can see it being

stone roses

biffy clyro

and a legend, although I cant think of one that hasnt headlined glasto.

Example I can see being high on the other stage but not headlining it ( in my opinion) but of course we are talking about something which is over 18 months away.

Now possible headliners:

Stone Roses I suppose are likely of they haven't imploded by then

Arcade Fire, certainly big enough and a little bit different

Radiohead, people seem to think this is a dead cert.

Lady Gaga, I can just see this happening.

Kasabian, well they have put themselves out there to do it, wouldn't be as expensive as some

Biffy Clyro, certainly big enough in my opinion, although I can see them more as a other headliner

David Bowie, will he ever come back?

Rolling Stones, will it ever happen?

Anyway. My guess is

Main - Radiohead

Other - Dizzee Rascal

Main - Stone Roses

Other- Chase and Status

Main - Lady Gaga

Other - Biffy Clyro

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
