Yeah with the 50th anniversary you'd expect that next year will be the Stones' last major tour. Whether they want to tick the Glasto box or not will probably dictate if they play or not. I'm sure they wouldn't be announced until all the stadium dates sold out, anyway.

In a way I'd like them to play for Glasto's sake, but I'd also rather see a newer band who deserve the exposure that goes with a Glasto headline slot take it instead. Arcade Fire simply have to headline 2013.

I'm going for - A classic headliner (maybe Tom Petty? Dylan?) for Friday - Arcade Fire for Saturday and then some bullshit contemporary pop act on Sunday.

The Stones have also played freebie shows before now. I'm not sure how the funding worked for SARSstock and/or Copacabana Beach and I'm sure they didn't come away empty handed, but they're not always (entirely) focussed on the paycheque. Otherwise they wouldn't still play their (admittedly occasional) club shows.

Arcade Fire are defiantly playing!!! if I keep saying it will happen.

They where in talks to sub-headline last time and then all of a sudden they had a couple of grammys and Brit awards in their back pockets and so I reckon ME said scrap that idea and you can headline in 2013 and a deal was done.

A few weeks later at Hyde park I think they said see you in 2 years, so they are deffo playing!!!

    • Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!
    • I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift
    • Christ didn't even see that! 
    • It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
