2013 Headliners

[gazza_20]

a year off from the festival, perhaps. but he is, i believe, releasing a new album later this year or early next. in terms of his career, he's just had his year off.

and as much as i'd love it to happen, i just cannot see Daft Punk playing Glastonbury. even if they eventually do release some new stuff, there's no reason to suspect they wouldn't repeat what they did in 2007 - ie play for the biggest pay cheque.

if they don't release any new material, then what would be the point for them or for us really?

If Punk already had big money shows, why would a tv coverage show for not a lot make difference as it'll sell out anyway? They could still easily do RockNess/T and Wireless.

[gazza_20]

Cos they get more money for not doing other festivals

What with a new album/tour going later this year... anyone else see Animal Collective subbing the Other Stage or headlining the Park?

[chriseede]

I can see them playing.

Headlined The Park in 2009. Seem perfect for that stage.

Love their new song and seeing them in November for the first time.

You still have Stevie Wonder for ex that did Glasto and HRC. They would still earn enough while getting glasto coverage imo.

Like Bruce? I think if it means that Glastonbury can get a legend status artist that they otherwise couldn't afford to book to come over just for the festival, so be it. What makes a gig is the crowd, the people watching, as much as the performance. An artist can play the same songs in the same order with the same energy at G and HRC and they be 2 very different gigs (I imagine).

[gazza_20]

Have you noticed how its the older acts suited to HRC that do that and wouldn't get that pay day else where in the UK?

To save me reading through all 110 pages can someone who has followed this thread from the beginning summerise who the likely acts that are rumoured to be headlining please?

Cheers.

For me its 3 out of....

Arcade Fire

Radiohead

Stone Roses

Rolling Stones

Lady Gaga

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I think it's impossible to rule anyone out to be honest. However, if we are going narrow, i'd definitely add in Fleetwood Mac.

[gazza_20]

Going to have a alternate guess.

The Stone Roses

FATM

The Vaccines

Plan B

Arcade Fire/Lady GaGa (my opinion is after her uk dates, a fest run then end of year uk arena tour)

Noel Gallagher

Mumford & Sons

The Black Keys

The Rolling Stones

Jack White

Tinie Tempah

Suede

What about Suede as Other Stage headliners?

[rexclark]

Suede definitely have the pedigree to headline The Other stage and are well due a return to Glastonbury.

[GlastoSimon]

The main belief is that three out of:

Arcade Fire

Fleetwood Mac

Lady Gaga

Stone Roses

Rolling Stones

Will headline. However, The Prodigy have been mentioned, as have the Killers, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam and Metallica.

[Whittick]

As Pyramid headliners?!

[GlastoSimon]

Earlier on in the thread I saw their name mentioned.
