2013 Headliners

[FloorFiller]

QOTSA, The Gaslight Anthem, Jimmy Eat World, The Hives would all fit in nicely

Did you mean that reply to me?! I have never suggested any heavy metal bands for Glastonbury

And my comment about heavy metal was a personal opinion, I wasn't implying that heavy metal misc IS shit, I just personally think that sort of music is shit, from my own personal opinion. Not a criticism of anyone or any breed of music, just expressing my own personal opinion to that form of music

Looking at a post quite a while ago, by december 2011, It was pretty clear who was playing, seeing as Coldplay & Beyonce were both SR and U2 were TBC.

If rumours are true that stones have dropped out. We now have one SR, one R and anyones game

We are very in the dark.

yeah but those have all played before (and recently) so they're a given. of all the other bands on the lineup there really aren't any that could do Glasto

[mattgimmeshelter]

As I said, the last two years are anomalies. It was never like that in the past. I don't see why we "should" know more than we do.

Have The Hives ever played?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Because the last two years efest had a good connection with glasto rumours.

I just would expect we'd know more than this.

I think they might have been miffed for a day but really it doesn't matter all that much

They've already sold all the tickets, so in this situation self confirmation only means they don't get to announce it when they want. The other reason they hold back (I imagine) is on the off chance it doesn't happen and they pull out. And anyone who pulls out after self confirming is just sadistic

EDIT: Completely messed up this post by trying to edit it, how embarrassing

No, I'd argue u2 and Beyonce have been responsible for the majority of our early knowledge.

How do you know the headliners aren't already listed? There's several acts rumoured by efests, and its quite possible they are the headliners.

As I've said, the last two years have been a very specific set of circumstances, very out of the ordinary. U2 were obviously going to play, and Beyonce announced herself, something I can't imagine Glastonbury were happy about.

It's really not out of the ordinary to be in this position, if you look before the last year.

It may not be out of the ordinary, but the possibilites are growg larger every day- whereas closer to the festival, we are supposed to be forming more educated predictions. As ellie goulding says, "Anything Could Happen".

Someone mentioned Depeche Mode earlier, they would do, never seen em.

Are they around this summer?

[Purple aki squat]

Thanks. I suppose that would leave them free for the Saturday. Like I said, never seen em, loads of good songs and a band who I can't recall playing before. It would make a change.

[JBarbour]

[FloorFiller]

They could do with signing them up. Absolute fantastic performance at leeds festival last year. One of the highlights, if not THE highlight of leeds

[mattgimmeshelter]

If I had to pick three dream headliners/subhead liners. I think I'd put.

Muse, watch the throne & Bowie

With elbow, daft punk & queens of the Stone Age subbing. That would be ace!

[salvador wali]

You think there is any chance of Moby headlining the OS? or is he that waaay past his prime now?

On thewayiam's lineup, change Black Keys to Smashing Pumpkins and i'm on board! Not that I dislike the Black Keys, they're amazing.

If we're talking dreams

Realistic dream (as in if they were coincidentally touring on the same year they could all be booked)

Arctic Monkeys- Radiohead - David Bowie

David Byrne - Prodigy - The Libertines

Unrealistic Dream

Talking Heads - David Bowie - Led Zeppelin

James Brown - The Prodigy - Last Shadow Puppets

[dancelittleliar]

My unrealistic dream.

Led zeppelin - pink floyd - David bowe

Prodigy, Bob Dylan, foo fighters, pulp & a reformed oasis!

[Vanderlyle]

I had to pick a line-up

Pyramid

Friday: Bowie (Fleet Foxes)

Saturday: Fleetwood Mac (The XX)

Sunday: Leonard Cohen (Nick Cave)

Other

Friday: Dat Punk

Saturday: The National

Sunday: Sigur Ros

Now... back to reality.

People keep saying about Watch The Throne but isn't Kanye due to have a kid around that time? I'm doubting he will be over here. Could be wrong of course but surely it makes it very very doubtful
