2013 Headliners

[Ted Dansons Wig]

hopefully radiohead will get given the slot and show that dinosaur how to put on a festival headline slot that is remembered with awe for decades after.

Top Tip: dont play 25 songs that all sound the same

2nd Top Tip: if you are going to rip off other bands, pick someone better than KISS!

Blur, Neil Young and The Boss may well all be waiting in the wings again and I'd be happy with any of them.

Well - I meant more as last minute back-ups should any of the first choice artists fall through. And only one of them, not all three.

Does being announced for Coachella make Blur more likely?

only problem is he is dung and failed utterly when last given a chance

nope.

Nothing that is announced for Coachella makes anyone likely for Glasto just by the fact of them playing Coachella. It makes them possible for Glasto because they might still be touring when Glasto happens, but nothing of that is firmly related to Coachella.

I love the idea that Glastonbury is a kind of audition.....

I just dont see the logic in inviting someone back just 3 short years after they put in a turgid performance that was widely despised and ridiculed for being desperately dull.

Doesnt make a lot of sense to me

[russycarps]

he was ridiculed by some. Have you seen the footage of the performance? Do you really think it looks like the punters aren't enjoying it...?

Nick Cave should be banned for life if turgid performances count for anything

[jimmyt]

It was the most dull and tiresome headline performance I've ever seen. I am sure a tiny fraction of his superfans who would climax if he walked on stage and farted down the microphone loved it, but I am talking about the normal people. The people who were bored rigid.

There is absolutely no demand for bruce springsteen to headline again so soon whatsoever.

As for nick cave, not sure anyone is demanding him to play again so soon are they? So what's the relevance of your point?

Springsteen's A-game > Everybody else.

Erm....yup. If I was ever going to go as far as "demanding" anything I'd demand that Nick Cave was back again this year in a better slot.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I know it's all great to say "A Band that no one has noticed"... but there aren't alot of people around at the time that aren't

a) Touring overseas

b ) Booked to other festivals

c) Not doing festivals.

It will most likely be who they can book.

I reckon if radiohead headline the saturday, it'l be between Gaga, Mumford, Prince or maybe even blur.

[jimmyt]

tony doesnt like nick cave though :-(

[redmosquito]

Am I the only one that enjoyed Nick Cave then? I can't say I knew all that much about him before but I really enjoyed and it made me go out and buy a fair few of his albums. I'd love to see him again.

Springsteen on the other hand bored the shit out of me, such a massive disappointment!

Nick Cave was incredible in 2009 and has a reputation as a briliiant live performer.
