2013 Headliners

[justperfect]

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.

the more they pay the Stones, the less they have for other bands or to give to charities...ticket prices etc may have gone up, but so have costs

What I'm trying to say is; I doubt that Eavis is like "Right, in order to get the Stones, we're going to be taking 250k from Wateraid and 250k from Oxfam...who's with me?!"

True. But next year when Eavis is on the phone to Mick Fleetwood, Mick is going to be saying "But didn't you pay the Stones a million? We want that too".

[mrtourette]

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.

THIS IS THE REASON WENGER WON'T BREAK THE ARSENAL WAGE STRUCTURE. DO YOU WANT GLASTONBURY TO BE THE ARSENAL OF THE FESTIVAL WORLD? HUH?

To me it seems like they've been playing poker with the Stones and Glasto has blinked first.

Bet they get booked and Mick pops his cloggs first week of June

Re: Rolling Stones. Basically it's now or never, so in Eavis' eyes it's probably worth the £1million. Love them or hate them, it will be an iconic headlining set for the festival.

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

[TheSeventhOne]

Could it not still feasibly be Arctic Monkeys, The Stones and Lady Gaga? Not the best, but it'd be far from the worst trio of headliners they've ever had.

[monkey1989]

im sure it will all be fiiiiiiine

[abdoujaparov]

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

[Matt42]

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!

If one of the Rolling Stones perishes within a year after playing Glasto then the money spent would be worth it. Great advertisement

[Wooderson]

Are there any clips of their "performance" at IoW? It was a fucking train wreck. That ham Paolo Nutini made a meal out of "Love In Vain" if I remember correctly.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nutini was fine - it was Amy Winehouse who botched Ain't Too Proud To Beg.
