2013 Headliners

[mattgimmeshelter]

No, not kasabian

They're the dullest band in the world.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

I don't mind Kasabian, but it seems like they play every year. I'd love it to be 2-3 headliners that noone has mentioned, there's nothing like a surprise!

[howlin_pete]

I bet you they've approached The Cure

[BlackHole2006]

Of course there are, that's the brilliant thing. You can either have a year like 2011 with all known headliners, or Eavii might go all out with three pushes like '08, or pull a wildcard like Stevie in '10.

That's what makes Glastonbury so special.

I'm going a bit off topic here, but it really helps how good the rest of the site is away from music, because it means Eavii can constantly innovate headliner/line up wise, and people will always come back.

You can tell I'm well up for it at the moment can't you?!

[BlackHole2006]

Brilliant band, but at reading last year I really didn't think they were that good/wanted to be there.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Deffo agree with this. I'm well excited to see what the headliners are this year purely because there is so much speculation about it. I reckon it'll either be some one up and coming or it will be someone who will absolutely blow our minds, like Prince or Bowie. I genuinely can't wait for the whole line-up to get announced actually. Really exciting year in terms of speculation of the Line Up/Headliners.

[FloorFiller]

I found them to be incredibly dull when I saw them at Bestival. I had to leave after 5 songs. Might have been to do with the fact that I was surrounded by bored hipsters who were only there so they could tell their friends. Ahh well. Live and let live.

[BlackHole2006]

Neil's explained the apparent difficulty of booking him and he's been rumoured to death on here for years, but how amazing would it be to have Prince close the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night?

prince would be fucking incredible.

I would prefer prince to the stones, but I wouldn't admit that till i'm actually watching prince, only thing that keeps me reserved is that I know how much he hates glastonbury

[FloorFiller]

I don't really know much about Prince, so just out of curiosity, how come he hates Glastonbury?

[mattgimmeshelter]

Prince would be an amazing headliner, kinda breaks my heart to hear that chances of him playing are very slim.

My perfect lineup for this year would be...

Arctic Monkeys - Prince - Gaga.

Good set of equality, with something fresh and new, WTT would be good but I think the sunday would need something like Gaga to pull alot of attention

Plus gaga would put on a fucking good show!

[Wooderson]

Huh? Prince is all about the cash. Write a cheque for 2.5mill and he's yours. He'd play yer back garden if youve the money.

I've a funny feeling Bruce might make another visit.

[FloorFiller]

Not if its more than six weeks before. He has also had a go at the fest before as mentioned

I don't think its much to do with the money, its more the timing. I don't think its realistic for any major festival to wait until six weeks before.

[Wooderson]

Give him enough wedge and you get the confirmation lads. C'mon.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

yeah waiting six weeks before is ridiculous. i know when he was announced for Hop Farm a LOT of people were pissed off as it'd been advertised as a two-day festival, and then all of a sudden BAM, Prince is headlining a third day out of nowhere

money definitely has something to do with it, but him being an awkward bastard has more to do with it

[beau1]

i enjoyed The Cure, but there were definitely moments of 'fucking hell what is this fucking ten minute song they're playing!?'. i looked at their setlist when i came home and i swear it was like 30+ songs but half of them blurred into each other. but when they played the hits, it was fantastic. still pissed off beyond belief that they didn't play Pictures Of You, mind

[mattgimmeshelter]

Why? Play the songs is what they basically do. They don't do the jumping around 'sing this' crap. What you got was a cure show at a festival, its well known that is what they do.

I'm not sure how you can say they didn't want to be there when they practically played the longest set of the weekend. :S

Not being good is a opinion I can understand as they don't do the festival thing...but people should know that by now. Another problem is that they have too many hits to some people and too few to others. Ask anyone who knows The Cure what their favourite song is and you're never going to get a consensus.

[Guitargeek]

I'm starting to thimk Gaga might be one of the one's that's refused.

Surely we'd have had some sort of whispers if she was in the running? Neil's been saying he thought she might, yet hasn't added her to the lists......

[dancelittleliar]

Didn't speak to the crowd once (from what I remember), set list was pretty dull, the order of it was pretty annoying. They just cranked out song after song. It wasn't like you were seeing a band perform. Okay it may not be in their persona, but that's probably why I don't think they are a good live band.
