2013 Headliners

[dingbat2]

Obviously we're talking about personal perspective now, and from a fans point of view, but The Cure and Radiohead (you love it really Nal) would be two. I'll try and think of more when I can actually think of acts with enough consistently good material, i.e 7 or 8 records.

Im still thinking its been 10 years since Radiohead last played on the main stage

Yeah, for me, it's not just about quality of material, if you're determined to play a long set you need *variety* within that material.

and that's kind of where the cure fell down for me. There wasn't enough variety in tempo, in sound, in styles.

If it were to be the roses, stones and gaga (with someone like daft punk on other stage) I dont think any future festivals could ever top them headliners.

Very pleased that the Stones rumour has been quashed so quickly.

There is already enough pressure on getting tickets!

Personally I would be happy if the bands were tucked away in a quiet corner of the site that you had to queue 2 hours to get into while the rest of the site was turned into one big Shangri-la.

Seriously though I would be happy with

Elbow

Kasabian

A surprise

It will be less than a year to go from the 26th June!

[The Nal]

Serious question, think of a band, any band that you last listened to for 3 hours without any break, without stopping to do something else, without wandering off for 10 mins.

[grumpyhack]

Never thought The Stones were a possibility - greedy bas*ards

[Andre91]

When do tickets for Glasto go on sale ?

[cov boy]

I meant to say for daft punk to be on the same day as gaga on other stage, radiohead dont really do it for me i know its cliche but i find them so boring, have tryed to get into them as alot of my friends like them but just cant!

Easy, replace Gaga or The Roses with Radiohead.

I know Cure fans who have been bored by their live shows

I'd say it's pretty clear that members of The Cure get bored with their live shows.

[sisco]

Not going to drop like that. They are a still a big festival band.

[eFestivals]

as you say, he is an exception

and thank fuck for that I say.

[zahidf]

I saw the Cure a few weeks ago at primavera.

I thought they were brilliant, and the 3 hours just sped by.

[LondonTom]

[Mouseboy11]

Foo Fighters played near enough three hours when I saw them at MK Bowl and it was absolutely brilliant.

[Vieuphoria]

No, just doesn't work like that for me, even a band with a decent back catalogue, even a band I truly love.

This raises the possibility of a Stone Roses - Daft Punk clash. I just couldn't take that.

[gazza_20]

I don't think it will happen for a few reasons, but logistically it makes really good sense, will split the crowd nicely, choice of different acts, I think it would be a well balanced thing to do.

Still not convinced that in a years time, the Stone Roses will be that big a draw, though.

[eFestivals]

Efests know enough to move The Roses from the date to be said page to the sunday, still only an R mind but no reason surely to do that unless info.

Doh!! That was me reading 'stone' and not anything else.

That was meant to be me making The Rolling Stones as rumoured for Sunday. Despite the denial, I can't and won't take that denial as being believable. On top of that, I now have a bit of extra info.

Meanwhile, I also have some new Roses info. They're now marked as a strong rumour.
