If they honestly couldn't put on a show without some big platforms and a lot of lights, surely that says more about Jay-Z and Kanye as performers than anything else?

The best live artists can do it without a massive stage show and lighting, they create the atmosphere themselves!

anybody who saw Jay Z at the Radio One Big Weekend will know that Jay Z and Kanye don't need all that stage show bullshit to put on a show, although i'm sure they'd bring more with them if they played Glasto considering Kanye was only a special guest at the Radio One thing

i don't think they'll play, but if they did i have no doubt in my mind that it'd be incredible

Thinking back to who Neil was talking about turning Glastonbury down. Really hope it was someone we hadn't considered so people aren't disappointed. On the other hand I really hope they didn't get turned down by someone who would've been amazing like Arcade Fire, though they were probably asked ages ago about playing so it probably won't be them. Likely to be Bowie isn't it considering he's only just come back into getting some attention?

I personally hope it was either Radiohead or Fleetwood Mac that turned them down, as from a selfish point if view I don't want to see them.

In all honesty though i really was 1 of the people who worried about headliners, now I'm more excited by the few performances in the day from bands I like. (I also like the Arctic Monkeys so I'm happy that they should be doing 1 day)

I know of more than just one act who has recently turned Glasto down for 2013. Glasto have been doing the rounds lately.

Quite surprisingly they're acts that have been barely mentioned in these forums this year.

I won't be naming the acts. They're entitled to make their choice on their own basis, and that basis is not necessarily a snub to the festival.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
