Not metal but I can see Enter Shikari popping up on the bill... JP headliner?

[TheSeventhOne]

yes please

I'd also like Harvey Milk and Liturgy

[Guest]

Unless we're all going to agree that Download is shit until it has Girls Aloud headline?

[abdoujaparov]

Plus, bands like Liturgy, Mastodon etc are acts that tend to appease as many leftfield musos as they do metalheads, which'd suit Glasto perfectly.

[SOAD]

As far as heavier bands for Glasto I think they should go for Biffy Clyro (subbing pyramid or headlining other), Deftones (somehwere on Other) and Mastodon (pretty low on Other) and leave it at that... adds a bit more diversity to the lineup... three bands who are arguably at their peaks as well... no need for more heavier bands at Glasto... it's not what the fest is all about.

[sisco]

Biffy Clyro subbing on the pyramid would be perfect!!!

[SOAD]

what nowhere else on any stage? No Fucked Up on the JP, for example?

Slightly silly suggestion...

Edited December 27, 2012 by SOAD

[abdoujaparov]

I was more thinking of the two big stages... as far as John Peel I could definitely see Twin Atlantic, Enter Shikari, Blood Red Shoes and Fucked Up hitting it...

[willutalk]

Sorry for all those funny comments a couple of pages back. Foruming on a four hour car journey during a chaotic Christmas time = a lack of concentration.

So:

Enter Shikari

Deftones

Mastodon

The Prodigy

Biffy Clyro

Placebo

Pulled Apart By Horses

Are the more likely heavy bands we can really expect.

Just to chuck in a couple of others Much less likely:

Bullet For My Valentine ?

Bring Me The Horizon?

SOAD?

BFMV and BMTH being British (British bands tend more to be booked by the booking team) up and and coming bands are the only factors I can think why they'd play + they were on BBC rock week, possibly another factor.

SOAD could be a possible QotSA type band for the Other headline. They're a popular band, with great live sing alongs but I could see Biffy Clyro take that role in being an alternative to a Mumford esque headliner. Biffy did play in 2011 though, too soon return?

Just a few of these bands scattered around the lineup would be nice,.among the Indie and pop which are the real relevant genres at Glasto.

[Filthy]

If biffy Clyro ceased to exist I'd be happy for any metal band to play glastonbury

[LondonTom]

Deftones and Mastodon are one thing - respected bands who are good at what they do, but i draw the line at anything like Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon or any other bands who's names are often abbreviated to stop their ridiculous names being printed. those bands won't.

[dirty_dog]

Biffy Clyro are total dogshit, if they didn't have such a cool name then they would have disapeared years ago

[Justiceforcedave]

I doubt SOAD will ever play Glasto now, regardless of the types of band they have. They've reformed for nice big paychecks which they won't get headlining Glasto's other stage. Simples.

[FloorFiller]

Why?! I'd say BFMV and BMTH are respected in what they do amongst their fans.....plus are more likely to have more younger fans willing to go watch them than those two. Seems a very odd line.

If they would accept slightly smaller slots than say they would get at Reading/Download it could work really well! (Unless of course the eavi don't want any acts of that sort, then fair enough.)

Biffy to headline! Mid Afternoon > Missed 2008 > JPT Headliner> Secret Slot > 3rd Pryamid > Fallow> Headline makes sense in my fanboy eyes

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Biffy Clyro = poor man's Foo Fighters

[Vieuphoria]

Foo Fighters are a very boring band.

[fatyeti24]

Foo Fighters are a very boring band.

[mrtourette]

it's hard to believe Grohl was actually once in Nirvana. he must have really disliked Cobain.

Edited December 28, 2012 by mrtourette

[fatyeti24]

What a silly remark.

Edited December 28, 2012 by fatyeti24

[Guest]

yes it was.

but come on, to come from witnessing close up the abilities of Cobain, to (presumably) take from that experience, and then start Foo Fighters?

i'm not suggesting they are comparable as songwriters, but Grohl didn't even try to do much beyond bog standard meat and potatoes rock for the kind of crowd Cobain wrote songs to ridicule.

[fatyeti24]

Dave Grohl, who is alive, successful and happy is the lesser being, compared to Kurt Cobain who became a heroin addict and shot himself

and I think to myself... what a wonderful world...
