2013 Headliners

[Dukeeyyy]

Arctics, Stones, Jay Z/Kanye maybe?

[Johng0404]

im gunna stick my neck out, and go for Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Rolling Stones. But I also think Daft Punk may be there, and I think if they were they would be there instead of Gaga.

I can see Kasabian headlining a night. Never headlined before and headlined pretty much every other uk festival + they have a good relationship with glasters and its the one they really want to do.

seems as though glastonbury are possibly going to have 3 festival exclusives

[Johng0404]

that's the problem though - they've literally been at every other festival for the past few years, so Glasto getting them after the rest would make them a really unimpressive headliner

[FloorFiller]

Muse and Coldplay are considerably bigger (in terms of their status in the music world) than Kasabian. and in the same year, yeah, but not after the rest. Kasabian will probably headline Glasto once they've got a new album sorted and are on a new tour

Muse and Coldplay to name just two have played Glasto in recent years, while playing other UK festivals in the same year

Please not Kasabian!

Would Mumford really get given the closing Pyramid slot?

[thewayiam]

depends how you mean?

the Sunday is the least favourable of the three.

[FloorFiller]

yeah when i heard that Mumfords were a possible headliner i always pictured them headlining the Friday. would be an incredibly underwhelming end to the festival if they headlined the Sunday. i thought they were pretty much nailed on but what with this talk of the Arctics being there i doubt Mumfords will be there as well

[fatyeti24]

i think the 'end of the festival' concept is relatively new though. many people have gone home/ready for leaving or are just tired by that point.

(i do think if they play Mumford would be best on the Friday)

to me at least, Friday and Saturday are much bigger nights. Friday you're all up for anything, Saturday is the main night and Sunday you're thinking 'how much longer, my feet hurt'.

that could be just me though!

[FloorFiller]

a lot of people seem to think that Arctics and Mumfords will be at either Glasto or Reading/Leeds, so yeah, Mumfords being at Reading/Leeds and Arctics being at Glasto makes a lot more sense. too soon for Arctics to be back at R/L.

and i agree that Sunday is the dying down day, but it's also the grand finale of it all so to have an underwhelming headliner would be crap (although to be fair, there shouldn't be an underwhelming headliner at a festival anyway, especially not Glasto, hence why Mumfords shouldn't headline)

if it's Arctics Friday and Stones Saturday then i'm pretty excited to see what the Sunday act is. both hard acts to follow. a part of me is thinking Gaga is just too similar to Beyonce for it to be true. years of not having a female pop singer headline and then two on the run? hmm

Lots of people said that Muse weren't big enough to close the festival in 2004 after Macca and Oasis but they smashed it and played one of my favourite headline sets. It's good to give new bands a chance and whether you like them personally or not, who's to say they couldn't nail it! Having said that, I probably won't watch them, but as everyone always says there are plenty more stages. Finishing Glasto 2011 with Queens of the Stone Age was simply stunning!

Arctic Monkeys

The Black Keys

[FloorFiller]

Example headlining the Other Stage!? what a bizarre, and i hope never-going-to-happen, prediction

can't see Black Keys subbing to Arctics either. far too similar

[dancelittleliar]

I don't get where the whole Gaga rumour has come from. It's not like there has to be a pop act - just look at 2009/2010. There doesn't seem to be anything behind it apart from that it is physically possible.

[EighteenSixty7]

What's the 'criteria' for a sub? Do they have to be anywhere similar to the headliner they're playing under?
