2013 Headliners

[Matt42]

I've done some thinking

I really believe our headliners are

Arctics

Dizzie

Stones

Florence + The Machine

Mumford & Sons.

Chase & Status.

I do however think that looking at the past lineups glastonbury is slowly opening the gates on more rock/punk/metal acts. Last year we had Pendulum subbing main stage, QoTSA as the other headliner, Biffy and gaslight anthem on the main stage, Jimmy eat world on the other stage, Flogging molly headlining Avalon and King blues in the dance village. It may not be to everyones tastes but that is a darn sight more bands than previous years. Plus Deftones and enter shikari are hardly the Stoner/ Desert rock of Qotsa and they have played before.

there have always been heavier acts dotted about Glastonbury, you just need to look out for them

i agree that SOAD are more than that, but honestly, can you actually imagine SOAD playing Glastonbury? i can't. they'd seem so out of place. despite Glastonbury being one of the biggest festivals in the world, some bands are just better suited to other festivals, a-la System to Download and Reading and Leeds

I'd swap Florence with Plan B and you could well be right

That's great news, glad you have thought about it.

Can I ask, how did your thinking come up with that?

Allow me to reply on his behalf... He's obviously used the persistent Arctics rumours for the Friday and coupled it with the fact that Dizzee obviously won't headline but has hinted at playing, has recorded a tune with Arctics, and looks like he could be subbing them at Beni. Married that with an assumption that the Stones will eventually accept the offer to play that we all know has been presented to them, threw in the fact that Florence thinks she has an affinity with the festival and recently come out for 'Gimme Shelter' at one of their shows. He tails off a bit on the Sunday but both Mumfords and C&S are rumoured to be somewhere on the lineup so I suppose it's not too ridiculous, though unlikely, that one would sub the other.

Its a terrible line up and as things stand don't be surprised if Florence is bumped up to headline the Pyramid one night, perhaps the Sunday. I've not really got anything against her and have seen her live twice at the fest and once at Ally pally, she is good live. Some here hate her but for a Sunday i reckon she'd go down well. Not the giant act people might wish for though.

Saw Florence at Reading last year and she bored me to tears almost literally. Annoying human being.

Dizzee Rascal

To the poster who said SOAD aren't any heavier than QotSA, I express how much I disagree with this statement.

I would go as far as to call SOAD a "metal" band and QotSA a "rock" band. This seems incredibly obvious to me, system are simply much heavier. Vocals, guitar tone, faster riffs chugging away on the low end....

[The Nal]

Rage Against the Machine are (maybe) planning a tour. Black Sabbath were trying to get Brad Wilk in to play drums but Geezer Butler said they can't get him because "Brads got some commitments with Rage Against the Machine".

Sabbath without Bill Ward. For fucks sake.
