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 love this festival but Mordor has got worse and worse to the point now that I dread going there. 10 years ago there just weren’t as many people, as many bottlenecks and there wasnt the need to arrive early to have a decent spot.
    • Aren't they against touring?
    • If my memory serves me right, it was the other way round - when PS 2022 lineup was released it was already confirmed that she plays Barcelona in May.
    • Cheers! And yep looks identical to Green day's scheduling
    • Reading all the feedback with interest.  If there are now 75,000 tickets officially sold, plus who knows how many more people blagging in - then on the Friday evening and Saturday in particular, it's not ridiculous to suggest there's 50,000 people at Mordor, which is a stadium gig - except with much worse sight lines, an inferior PA, and far less bars and toilets. The Thursday evening in 2022 was of course infamous but on the Friday night for Beck I was trapped about 150m from the stage, surrounded by chatters, and with no prospect of getting nearer the stage.  With hindsight that was when I realised the fest had one way or another fundamentally changed.  Also noting on Reddit that some folk didn't enjoy the Cure or Gorillaz because the sets were "too long".  In future bands may be better received if they actually just play their top 10 Spotify songs then get back off the stage.
