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)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    • I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?
    • Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.

    • Also agree, it does feel that there isn’t much between the Mercury Prize and the Brit Awards these days.   This part sums it up for me “The complaint isn’t so much about the quality of the music, but more the disappearance of spaces for outsider voices in British music. With streaming algorithms feeling increasingly geared towards big names, and social media acting as a minefield, the Mercury’s pivot to the mainstream closes another door in the face of creative independence.”
