2013 Headliners

[justperfect]

Id have more confidence if id read it in the daily sport than heard it on that shit of the airwaves

[fatyeti24]

this thread is crazy.

it's gone beyond speculation, through fantasy and is now just surreal. i'm going to go and smoke a massive joint to see if i too can make sense of some of those messages that Mick Jagger is sending us.

I think the new output from The Strokes makes them a contender for Other Headliner.

[Trebor]

Hmm, if this is true, it's considerably more than they normally offer people isn't it?

[Sketchead]

from what I've heard, I think it disqualifies them from any stage, at any time

[evilduck]

Whenever I hear it I keep thinking they have accidentally played it at the wrong speed.

£1mil thats a large offer from glasto? Dont headliners normally get offered around a quarter of a million?

On another note the strokes new song is just awful

yup, that's a massive offer, which will no doubt impact onto the amount that's expected by headliners in future years, to the loss of the good causes.

Sadly, I think it's probably true too. I'm guessing that there's now a feeling at the farm that they just can't lose the Stones else they'll be stuffed for headliners.

However, it's still only around one quarter of the normal Stones fee, so whether it's going to be enough to swing it I don't know.

3rd stones tune of the day being played right now on xfm and it isnt even lunch time yet. Coincidence or not? ????

This is exactly why (apart from them being cack) I don't want them to play. They end up getting overpaid and it impacts on the rest of the lineup and future festivals.

Do you think Eavis has got a bit blinkered in his mission to get them, knowing it's probably his last chance? I'm surprised he'd go to these lengths to get anyone.

Whats the normal fee for headliners

[Trebor]

Yeah, it's going to leave a bad taste in my mouth knowing the greedy fuckers have swindled charities out of money and perhaps permanently changed the festival. Any desire I had of seeing them is fast dwindling.

I'd guess that it's a combination between his lifelong ambition to get them to the fest, along with the position the fest is in this year for headliners - cos if they don't have the stones then it looks like the 3 headliners overall might be thought as as far weaker than normal (on the basis that it appears they're having trouble getting a 3rd headliner).
