2013 Headliners

[mattgimmeshelter]

I would personally love kanye west to make an appearance, whether its just him or watch.

[Seanoooo]

Fleetwood have ruled themselves out.

I think that they either have the third headliner booked already, and will reveal at a time when they are looking for a boost in ticket sales, or they have two options for third headliner - one with bigger draw, but pricier, and one with less draw and less expensive to book. They can see how ticket sales go and book whichever suits their needs.

Interestingly, this is a huge step up in scope of line up for Governor's Ball, which is only in its third year.

Yup guys, just seen. They aren't playing.

[Diva Sam]

Is it just me that reads that Governor's Ball poster as saying it happens near the beginning of June, about three weeks before Glasto, not two weeks after? Which also means it's further from Kanye's baby, doesn't it? Isn't she due in July? Plus, isn't it in New York, near where he lives and thus near where the baby may be born? Personally I don't think the baby comes into any decision making much but if it does, that tells us nothing about Glastonbury.

I don't agree, Glasto would sellout without having to wait until you released any headliners, it's just they way it is ans we have to get used to the fact.

"They can see how ticket sales go and book whichever suits their needs.", This is wrong

King's Of Leon back on the cards?

[mattgimmeshelter]

I wonder of there was a chance and Glastonbury stalled & now it's gone!

Correct. If you look there it says TBA

[Wooderson]

Pretty likely. I do think they have put alot of their focus on the stones, they may of felt abit secondary.

Actually re reading that I don't think that's true at all. I think they probably declined because they wanted to tour america more.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Is there anything actually ruling Mumford & Sons out of being able to be announced?

If and only if it was Daft Punk, they probably need Coachella to announce 1st for the biggie on it.

I think he was talking about that Festival in New York, not Glasto.

Swap chase and status with Noel Gallaghers high flying birds, and you're probably pretty close :')

[Englishdragon]

Yeah maybe, but I thought they might be a bit too similar, I'm sure somebody said the other day that generally a different genre act subs - for crowd movement or something?

[shae]

They do but Noel is playing the Friday apparently.

Actually change Dizzy to Someone like Jack white and Id be happy with that
