2013 Headliners

[elias]

How about Green Day?

I know they are not a Glastonbury band in the traditional sense, but they are in the UK at the time. Just announced dates in June 2013. Could be an outside bet.

any tour is as much about selling, and carrying on selling the back-catalogue, and promoting the brand, as it is sellling tickets, I'd have thought

Yah, Janelle Monae's sales shot up, but that's a percentage increase. Look at the actual numbers of records sold, still not that many.

[Andre91]

Lady GaGa

Mumford & Sons

Franz Ferdinand

The Stone Roses

Dizzee Rascal

The Vaccines

The Rolling Stones

Jack White

The Gaslight Anthem

Other Stage headliners:

Suede

Bloc Party

Noel Gallagher's HFB

[Mardy]

She was all the rage with the hip kids at the time too. Shes fucking useless now mind. The spokesperson for Covergirl etc.

[The Nal]

Still think the Archandroid is a phenomenal record, absolutely brilliant. She really badly failed to capitalise on it though, just never broke through to the next level. Think she's got the potential to be massive. She's played, what, one gig in the UK since that Glastonbury performance (Latitude this year). Wasted opportunity. Damn shame.

Good time at Blur I hear mate?

[The Nal]

Yeah, had a ball. Shame you weren't there. We'll make up for it next June, though

[Spindles]

It'll only happen if they actually personally care about playing Glasto, want to play Glasto. Because I can't see them taking the lower money that Glasto pays without them caring.

And being the stones there's a good chance that they don't care. It's not like they've needed it up to now.

[The Nal]

Then I saw that clip of Mick Jagger and Fergie (who I also previously had basically no respect for) and my opinion was totally reversed. In that clip you can clearly see the difference, on one stage, between people who have made money off the back of not much and people who have real talent and passion for what they do. I was blown away.

[Spindles]

More, the energy, the enjoyment, first class. Totally changed my opinion of the stones in 6 minutes.

*edit* to be fair, it changed my opinion of the frontman.

Stone Roses have (allegedly) been offered to play Coachella. When/if that's confirmed and announced, I think that's one headliner down for Glastonbury next year.

[dirty_dog]

Aerosmith have a new album coming out and easily big enough, there's usually atleast one surprise headliner so why not them.

Can you imagine the mass stampede of people running away from the Pyramid Stage when the first notes of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" ring out?

[The Nal]

yep, I fuckin hate that song, I heard their new one on the radio yesterday and it sounds very similar

[rexclark]

Ouch! Id love to hear the early stuff though. Draw the Line, Toys, Dream On, Sweet Emotion etc. Cracking band back then.

I know the The Stone Roses are heavily rumoured, but would their reluctance on being filmed be an issue? don't GFL hold the rights to the TV coverage?

[Salute]

Green Day doing stadium tour next summer - possible headliners for Pyramid?

Also Elvis Costello playing around UK at Glasto time - last time he played was 2005 and dont think he was too impressed, crowds werent great for his performance with all the flooding that year

only saw them once, but it was a great show. Aerosmith, Deep Purple and an upstart band from Los Angeles promoting their debut album, Guns 'n Roses. Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands of New Jersey, Summer '88.

[Spindles]

I think Green Day would go down well on the Pyramid tbh.
