2013 Headliners

With ticket prices being higher than ever and extra miney being generated by taking the pre erected tent "in house" plus the usuall vendor fees, car parking and merchandise the cash is clearly their. Get it spent. The charities will still be getting their slice of the pie when the dust settles.

I'm sure they'll get a third headliner with not too much difficulty. There are so many bands out there who appreciate how important the slot could be to their careers. Then they've also got plenty of contacts which they can call upon for favours.

I still think Radiohead would be more than happy to dig Eavis out a hole and play a one off show. Mr Albarn would probably be able to squeeze in a Blur date too. Then you've got Muse, Pulp and others. Even Take That would probably do it.

Eavis is a great man with a big heart, I have no doubts that should he not get the Stones then there are plenty of bands that would love to do him a favour.

it would be great if that were right. It's not. Not this year.

It'll be fine as far as I'm concerned...the chances of Eavis booking three headliners I want to see is so small as to be practically zero. And frankly I dont much care who he books - although I object to the Stones as a bunch of money-grabbing, tax-dodging, geriatric has-beens - the identity of the headliners matters not a jot to me

Hello! Newbie here!

I've been reading all these posts about the stones either being offered, or asking for 1mil. & I think it's a little bit extreme. I know eavis is desperate but it's abit over the top! This reminds me of when v-festival supposedly spent 2mil on eminem!

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
