Because Lady Gaga is a semi respectable artist.

Because Lady Gaga is a semi respectable artist.

that's not what Indonesia thinks.

[MEGABOWL]

Because for some reason Gaga is regarded by some as a credible artist.

Ye haha I was bit tired

Why does so many think Gaga will headline, rather than for example Rihanna? (If we are assuming they inofficially want a female heading)

[rexclark]

I think people recon Gaga will headline because love her or hate her, she's the most high profile female pop singer around today.

As for not being credible, I would disagree. She may well be quite gimmicy but she's also very talented. She writer her own songs, plays the piano and she has a great voice. She's exactly the kind of artist Glasto should be going for.

She's exactly the kind of artist Glasto should be going for.

... to keep those who like pop-pap-crap happy.

[MrZigster]

Please not Scissor Sisters. I'm kind of glad they've released their latest in a fallow year. Hopefully they'll be well under the radar again in a years time.

The Wembley Arena date had me thinking, if the beach boys were booked, where would they play? (aside from all the usual jokes of in glastonbury )

[chickenfire]

I have no idea.

I highly doubt they would be close to headlining the pyramid but I would love it if they played anywhere at Glastonbury

[larklanered]

I think the stone roses would be high on the bill for a headline act next year.

[brettredmayne]

Would love a set from the beach boys, Brian Wilson went down so well in 05

[hawkzred]

I would love to see Stone Roses as next year's headliners, but as they will have headlined V and T this year I would imagine that they will have been over exposed by the time Glastonbury comes around?

I think:

The Stone Roses: No way Eavis won't try and go for them. They would be such a huge draw and as people have said in the past, they have "unfinished" business with Glastonbury.

Radiohead: They're due an appearance at a UK festival as they seem to play one or two every 3/4 years. Plus, of course, they will go down well, as they have been in huge demand since they last played (2003)

Metallica: Glasto usually gets a "wildcard" headliner, and Lars has even said in the past how he wants to play. Might be a controversial choice but they will put on a world class show and win the crowd over.

Would be strong having Noel Gallagher, The Black Keys and Pixies as subs, and then My Chemical Romance, Pendulum and Daft Punk headline the Other Stage. Aside from that, Glasto line-ups are usually hard to predict because anyone could play, in any slot.

[Bobs]

I'd say there was a large list of bands expected to play surely. and seeing as my posts are usually mocked on here (What can i say?!).

I'd say Gaga, Stone Roses and Radiohead will headline. Not so bold.

I'd still say that they'd be looking at Macca (he won't be around forever, give him his final swansong in the UK limelight, although i saw him in March, he's still unbelievable) Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Arcade Fire, Beach Boys (surely got to be looked at, legend slot maybe?

[VCK]

If Gaga headlines then I will be praying for someone good headlining one of the other stages. Pulp anyone?

[chriseede]

[VCK]

I know this is gonna make me come across as an annoying pedant, but the last time they played was last year. Do you mean when they last headlined?

[rug568]

[The Mean Bean]

I'd be over the moon at the prospect of anybody out of Pulp, Arcade Fire, The Stone Roses, Metallica, Radiohead, Kanye West and/or Jay-Z, The Killers, AC/DC, Tom Petty and The Heart Breakers, Bob Dylan amongst others, but my one big wish is The Rolling Stones.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Hmm i think Pulp might be a bit big for the other stage.

I think if they play they would headline.

The radiohead deal was probably done last year in the park, im certain their must be a headliner 10 years after the last pyramid slot.

[thetime]

Yup, I think one of them is Radiohead will be one of them.

And as is said Eavis will surely go for The Roses, wether it'll happen or not, we'll see. Still standing firm on them two and GaGa though. The Rolling Stone as the other option.

Can't see Arcade Fire myself, not next year.
