[LondonTom]

MGMT?!

[MEGABOWL]

A lot of the mainstream and larger indie bands are releasing new material this year, wouldn't be a suprise for world tours at 2012, hopefully with stops at Glastonbury. Those who easily could headline:

The Killers

Queens of the Stone ages

Kid Cudi

The Strokes

MGMT

Bloc Party

Muse

Wolfmother (?)

Daft Punk (2012-2013)

Linkin Park

Green Day

etc etc

I've never though of Linkin Park playing Glastonbury! Would be good but they aren't really a sort of band to headline Pyramid yet, are they too big to play an Other stage headline slot? Sunday Other headline would be the only place I could really see them playing. Lets see what the next album brings us.

[Gnomicide]

Green Day could do it. Loads of hits, great live band, I'd be very happy with that..

I wouldn't be surprised to see The Arctic Monkeys do it again, think they'll be promoting a new album in the next 12 months, suspect a large RnB act may be there after Beyonce and Jay-Z going down well in the recent past. Kanye?

[Andre91]

Arctic Monkeys + Kanye + Anyone else, it doesn't even matter with those first 2- would be awesome for me!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Arctic Monkeys, Kanye West & Fleetwood Mac (Or the Beach Boys) would provide a nice variety & a very strong set of headliners.

[Andre91]

That'd be really strong! Arctic Monkeys, Kanye and Pearl Jam would be brilliant.

expecting big things from black keys so want them high up on the bill.

How can you be 'expecting big things' from a band with 7 albums?

But if Radiohead or Pearl Jam were to headline then who cares about the other two? Although I would hate Pearl Jam to be at Glasto, as I want them at R&L And Eavis said there'll be no heavier headliner next year

[Mardy]

Pearl Jam is not that heavy, personally I like their ballads best Just the ticketmaster incident.. Gotta love those guys, but I don't think they'll play Glasto, even though I think few bands would kill it as they would've.

[Whittick]

Pearl Jam headlined Reading & Leeds in 2006, so I doubt they'll play there again anytime soon.

Think they are headlining IOW this year?

If I were to guess three now it would be Pulp, The Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga...

Pulp:

Pros - Absolutely nailed it on the Park. Jarvis giving hints about doing a 5th. My guess is Emily will have a big say in this

Minuses - Can't see them doing new material. Will they still be back together in 2013? Maybe it's already the plan to do it as a farewell gig?!

The Rolling Stones:

Pros - With a succession of HUGE acts doing it (U2 being the most recent example) recently it feels more likely they'll say yes.

Minuses - They'll only do it if they fancy it, that year. I think they came close this time and it didn't happen. ME once said they were the one band he didn't think would ever play...

Lady Gaga:

Pros - Would give the line-up a bit of diversity. My guess is she'll still be huge in 2013.

Minuses - Can't really think of any; maybe too many costume changes...

Other names I think will be in the mix:

Green Day - Feels really unlikely, but I think they'd do a wonderful job

Foo Fighters - I think they'd be wlikeful. I'd guess they'd likee to do it. I think it's more likely after QOTSA doing such a good job

Arcade Fire - I think they're less likely; made it well known they didn't enjoy it in 2007. Maybe the sunshine of the last couple of years will persuade them otherwise.

Eminem - Still seems a little unlikely to me but if he gets his stuff together I think it would be great (and make Jay Z look like less of a one off)

Radiohead - Mixed feelings on this one. I suspect that they're much happier doing sets like the one they did at the park rather than the idea of doing a crowd-pleasing headline slot. A 3rd straight fest (even with the gap) might be a bit much too

The Smiths/ Stone Roses/ Led Zep etc. - Never seem in any way likely; if any of themthet back together it would be for teh cash; they've had lots of opportunities to do it for Glasto

I'd quite like to see Benjamin Francis Leftwich - although not really headline material imo - would like to see him somewhere ? not sure where he'd fit in though

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Midway up JPT, low to mid other. Definitely not headline. Maybe low pyramid.

Adding to my Fleetwood Mac wish/prediction:

Fleetwood Mac

Mumford And Sons

Santana

Bob Dylan

Noah And The Whale

Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Ben Howard

I dislike quite a few on that list, but thought i'd make it reasonably realistic.
