2013 Headliners

[neilloggie]

I'd be very suprised if Michael has offered £1Million for The Stones. That sort of amount would surely impact on the total given to WaterAid, Oxfam etc and I think people underestimate the importance Michael attaches to the charitable aspect of the festival.

[Gnomicide]

That's it!

Deadline day is over. If they haven't signed them now, it's not happening.

Peter Odemwingie is your Sunday night headliner!

Wish somebody would video Odemwingie's return to training in the morning.

Sorry to throw conversation off. But I had to ask somewhere. I attended OXEGEN festival last year, was planning to do glasto and that again. But i've been searching and it's like the festival doesn't even exist/ever did exist? Has it been cancelled or something? Or are organisers keeping things secret for a while.

I'm sure it's older than most festivals. I still think it's a pretty young audience though.. Florence, Lady Gaga, KOL, Dizzee... Jessie J ( ) even.. I think most of the punters would be happy with them

[eoinca]

Oxegen was cancelled last year. Don't think it'll be back this year tbh.

Oxegen wasnt a festival. It was a walled carpark where people bought copious amounts of overpriced lager and saw some underwhelming bands play.

[Matt42]

You did well to go to a festival that wasn't on last year ha I am guessing you mean 2011 though! No word on what's happening yet other than gossip its not on, my gut says it's not though.

And set fire to tents, got into knife fights and raped young girls.

[Matt42]

Does this rule muse out? if they were ever rumoured?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Likewise presuming that Robbie Williams is ruled out by only having the Friday free.

[sisco]

Muse were never rumoured. Guess too soon.

Personally think it will be:

Arctic Monkeys

Dizzee Rascal

The Rolling Stones

Suppose other possibilities out there, Radiohead (personally think this is who it will be if Stones don't play), Mumford and Sons, KOL (they are in the country at the time).

Obviously there are 100'a more acts that could, but IMO it will be from those 6.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

If Dizzee was going to do it, would he not have been announced somewhere else in the UK, let alone Europe, let alone round the world?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Maybe he wasn't going to do it originally?

Maybe he will be announced for V

Maybe he will be doing HRC or Wireless?

Lots of maybes for u!

[sisco]

They won't be turning to back ups yet.

And none of those explain why he's not been announced elsewhere.

I'd argue the maybes are for you. Why would an act who's never headlined a major festival, with nothing to promote, who has a history of playing tens of fests every summer but has not been announced for any yet, be booked to headline?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

That still doesn't explain why he hasn't been announced elsewhere? Unless of course Glastonbury have paid a ridiculous amount to get him on a worldwide exclusive, which would be a really really funny yet sad state of affairs.

I appreciate its just your opinion, but there's literally nothing to link him to doing it.

[Mud Dweller]

Given what the Stones have (If you believe the speculation) been offered £1 million I dont think this would be the case

Unless of course Glastonbury have paid a ridiculous amount to get him on a worldwide exclusive, which would be a really really funny yet sad state of affairs.

[Role Model]

They're more likely to go for artists of headline calibre, or potential headline calibre, Dizzee isn't that, he might have been for 5 minutes a couple of years back.
