2013 Headliners

I know for certain they've been approaching some fests about next year. I also know that those they've approached are hesitant to commit at the moment, instead waiting to see how this summer's shows go and whether there'll still be a band of the same members to actually put on a stage next summer.

So it's likely, but not yet guaranteed.

The Daily Star have got a little beyond themselves (tho I also know that's more to do with their editing process than what was originally written to be published).

I should have also mentioned that John has been to the majoirty of Stone Roses gigs so far around Europe and speaks to the band on a regular basis, he is also having a book launch for his Stone Roses book so would know if they were definitely booked to play.

then he'll know that they've not yet been booked for IoW next year, contrary to the Star story. :)

I reckon Stone Roses will crack before next year and let the name calling continue

"Ian Brown started it Sir , he called Renni a c**t ! "

Two things we should all know by now;

(1) I haven't got the sense I was born with.

(2) I have absolutely no idea about the music 'scene'.

With this in mind and the fact that I've not read the majority of this thread, is it so stupid of me to suggest Dolly Parton as a headliner. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'm going to need to get my coat! And no, I'll not need to get out of the closet first in order to get it! I just happen to like her - and those marvellous protuberances!

Last night in bed, as well as sleeping, I was thinking that maybe Kylie is set to make a return next year? After all, she owes Glasto a headline peformance, and she turned up in '10 with Scissor Sisters.

Is she still big enough to headline?

It's difficult to judge if Eavis wants her or not I reckon.

A while before the 2010 festival Eavis said something about the festival &/or music having moved on, and that they weren't wanting her.

But he followed that with something about not booking pop acts - when that's so much of what's on the major stages every year. :lol:

It's perhaps the case that he was meaning the more manufactured sort of pop, but that's there in spades as well.

So I don't know. There's no doubt that it was 'a big thing' when she appeared with Scissor Sisters.

Yeah that's what I mean, she's still relevant and is just as manufactured as Lady GaGa and Rihanna is, but at least she has some half decent tunes. Still wont be seeing her if she plays though, but at least it would be a half decent choice from the Eavii

You've got me wondering what the other DP is now. If I do a search on DP the first thing that comes up is Dorothy Perkins the women's shop. Now I'm pretty sure that's not what you were referring to! That said, I have recently bought a couple of frocks myself - but only because I'll not get into the Ladies Night disco at Shambala without one. Honest! Unfortunately / fortunately neither one actually fits (bought off ebay). I digress, what's the other DP or aren't you allowed to say?

Just seen the Stone Roses at Heaton Park and they were amazing, no doubt that they would be one of the best Pyramid headliners of recent times, forget Muse, U2, Coldplay, even Ian sounded great, listening to John Squire was only what I can imagine what Hendrix would have sounded like, Heaton Park as a venue was shit, 45 mins queue for the bar, long queues for toilets, only allowing the first 20,000 people in the arena wristbands to get in the front part of the arena.

Roll on Glastonbury 2013, hopefully with the Roses are rightful headliners.

    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
