2013 Headliners

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

What's the feeling on Depeche Mode? They are playing in Ukraine on the Saturday and Sweden on the Thursday, is it possible to fly over for the Sunday? Unfortunately I think it's wishful thinking, but it's possible. Probably more likely to be an Other headliner than Pyramid I think

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Been ruled out.

As have a million and others. We are currently down to Chas and Dave. Should be good

[thewayiam]

No I read most people's comments longer than the 2 lines, just some lose my interest very quickly!!

You corrected me? Really. Worrying!!

And if you don't know what talking in the 3rd person is!! Very worrying. Enjoy talking between the 2 of yourself!!!

Anyway:

Dizzee

NGHFB

Arctics

Pink

Rolling Stones

Chase and Status

There's a lot of talk about headliners who are currently touring. Does the act always have to be touring to headline?

Maybe someone with a little more knowledge about past headliner history could advise if this has happened or not.

Would be great to get someone that nobody has suggested.

*cough* Pearl Jam

Three (festival) dates penned in South America in early April and two in America but that's it. Come on Michael and Emily, make it happen!

[JBarbour]

After watching the Sound City doc last night. I wish they would just book Mr Grohl and let him run wild with special guests!

Unlikely I know!

[JamesT977]

Unlikely but it would be amazing! I know Stevie Nicks is ruled out but still plenty of others who might be available?

I can't believe we are still completely in the dark over possible headliners, it looks like most people think Rolling Stones are more or less going to be there but aside from that it seems like we're taking shots in the dark. I'm not going to frequent this thread again until we have some real information!

I'm not 100% the stones are nailed on. I guess it's under negotiation, but they may be temped by the corporate-fest. Perhaps hard rock calling, Olympic stadium etc which will bring them the readies and the publicity. All while the rumour mill turns, it keeps them in the spotlight

[MEGABOWL]

I'm not a Stones expert but based on what I do know about their normal behaviour, and my mate who is a big fan of both the Stones and Glastonbury laughing every time it gets mentioned, I'm not confident they'll do it either. There may be some serious brain-storming of names going on at Worthy Farm in the next few days

I think national brit rock reads efest forums.

This was a good festival guide (major festivals) this is, definitely worth a read!

Her name has probably been mentioned earlier in this thread, but how about Kylie Minogue? She's had a recent album with another rumoured for this year. Not touring apparently but was due to play a few years ago (2005) so is due a second chance. Ideal for Sunday headline.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

There's a great bit on the wiki page, which lists East Dance headliners as Leftfield, Rightfield and Centerfield.

no one can get right what hasn't been booked.

In the words of someone who knows only last week "... they've not booked anyone".

Those words are a bit of an over-statement (cos at least one headliner is booked), but things haven't progressed as much as some people are thinking.
