2013 Headliners

[LondonTom]

On another note Pulp just announced a Sheffield arena gig....Last one? or start of arena tour with new material leading up to them closing glastonbury next year?

[The Nal]

whhhoooooaaaaaa there a minute, why did noone tell me we are in the presence of a rock star???

[eFestivals]

that's not 'the hit'.

[dingbat2]

it was in America

[russycarps]

ha this is ace! I've actually heard of this band. And eddie and the hot rods who I've seen a fair few times!

*starstruck*

[The Nal]

Heres the UK hit then. Some shapes on the guitar player!

[Dan R]

Pulp announced a sheffield show for december, was worried itd be a farewell show but by the sounds of it theyre not calling it a day yet :-D I reckon sub pyramid or headline other.

[thetime]

I reckon after seeing some of the Werchter coverage Editors would be a favourite for The Other Stage !

[mike46]

well I would strongly disagree with your belief that the likes of oasis or lady gaga will ever be remembered as legendary. I think a modicom of lyrical ability and originality are required to attain legendary status!

We are unlucky enough to be around in the worst musical period for decades. We cant polish the turds that are currently making music and pretend that in 30 years someone like noel gallagher will in fact be considered as genius as leonard cohen for example!

Embrace the mediocrity.

[Gnomicide]

Of course I am getting old, but I dont reckon in 1982 people were saying the 70s were utter shite, and I certainly wasnt saying that in 1992 about the 80s...

[Dan R]

What proof do you have its not a last one?! (I am hoping not!!! but I've heard different things today )...I am hoping it means new material and a full nationwide tour before headlining glasto

[**claire**]

I seem to remember there being quite a bit of commentary at the end of the 80s about what a shit decade it had been for music.

To some extent they had a point but not from where I was standing. It's probably an age thing but I was between 13 and 23 during the 80s so it was I suppose 'my decade' musically.

Having said all that, there was some truly shocking stuff. Particularly anything that cropped up on The Hitman and Her.

And now its back. Have you seen that SAW Festival that's on this year? Sweet Baby Jebus save us!

[jeanpierre80]

Depeche Mode ! gives you shivers....

[Leodhas]

Aerosmith perhaps?

[Dan R]

Aerosmith perhaps?

[Ed209]

Steve Tyler's too busy collecting his American Idol paycheck to give a shit about glastonbury.

[Ed209]

Yeah, couldn't give two shits if they played. Tyler is a disgrace. Lost all cred for that stunt. Recent shows have been fairly shambolic too by all accounts.

Sure they could go whack out a reasonable greatest hits sing along set interspersed with some crap from their new album, but fairly sure they would just post it in and it would be a pile of shite.

No where near headlining material in my book

I saw them at the marquee club in 1990. Jimmy Page jammed Immigrant Song and Train Kept on Rollin with them. It was immense. Pump is my favourite album of theirs after the reunion.

[rexclark]

I love Aerosmith but I doubt I'd go see them now as they look rotten.

[gazza_20]

thinking about it. noel subbing the roses one day looks inevitable. sounds like it worked very well at T and listening to noel now at T who was good you can see why.

i don't think he'll take other stage headline, that'll put him below technically where he can been playing this year and by then new songs will probably be known. willing to almost call the vaccines below him too.

i did think plan b below the roses but change of mind, but i do think plan b will sub one day, could easily sub to GaGa to be honest.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I don't think it's inevitable at all. I don't think Roses, or Noel will definitely play. There's a chance, I'll say that, but there's as much chance as any, if not less considering both of their past relationships with the fest.

[fatyeti24]

it'd be most un-Glasto-like to have two bands/artists at the top of the bill with the same kind of audience. they normally mix it up a bit.

by the way, when is Noel's album with Amorphous Androgynous due out? i thought it'd have surfaced by now. if it's as experimental as he was hinting then maybe a late night secret gig in Shangri La would be more likely!
