2013 Headliners

[Guest]

He was awful. You'd have to really, really love him to be happy with the dreadful show he put on. Such a shame. I'd always wanted to see him and by the end I just regretted skipping DLS v SP.

I don't really love him. He wasn't awful... what was awful about it? The band were good, he did a fair few of his hits, it was sunny.... he did what he does. Anyone disappointed must have had unreasonable expectations. What were you expecting?

[weaz]

Just watching the end of The Pixies Acoustic on Sky Arts 1. It would make an outstanding headline set. Remarkable how well both the playing and singing hold up without the effects and noise - truly great band with truly great songs.

I expected him to sing reasonably well (he didn't), to seem bothered about being there (he wasn't) and for there to have been a sense of excitement, which unfortunately entirely dissipated the moment he walked on stage.

It probably wasn't even the worst performance on the Pyramid Stage that afternoon.

[jimmyt]

I think I probably tried too hard last time. I expected one of my top 25 or so artists to be one of the top 25 or so favourite artists I'd seen live. He wasn't. I was disappointed. My opinion; your opinion. Thems your onions. I'd give him another go if he cropped up, probably.

From the reactions of lots of people on here, Paul Simon was a disappointment for many

I know... all I can think is they all had unrealistic expectations. Apart from bringing out Art, and doing a load of S & G songs, I can't imagine what would have made them not disappointed.

Singing well, doing any S&G songs, giving a performance that wasn't just meh. Based on having seen him before.

[MEGABOWL]

Why, thank you very much! If I've managed to trump the other 401 pages of posts then I feel I have achieved something! Maybe Branson'll chuck money at Glasto as well to preserve the V-branded festival?! In fact, if all the promoters of all the other festivals got together we could get almost anyone at Glasto! Eminem, Bon Jovi, Kings of Leon - what an event it could be!!

[thewayiam]

Unfortunately it is back.

personally I think it will be mumford & sons

seeing how they are pretty much ruled out of R&L would be surprised if they did only one UK fest appearance this year.

They will most likely play oxygen, (if it comes back).

I just think it's strange seeing as T haven't booked them as exclusive, thought they'd be the first on the booking list for many festivals.

Mumford could be at V festival, they love that sort of shit at V.

Singing well, not making Laura Marling seem interesting, not boring me to tears, not being surprisingly devoid of charisma, not looking like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world.....

[DJL]

[Bisque]

Fuck it... give it to Bloc Party.

Or please for the going without sex for a month let them play!!!

[PDAD]

If they werent doing another festival, surely T would have marketed Mumfords as 'festival exclusives'...?

[Matt42]

But they aren't festival exclusives,

that's what makes it suspicious to me.

[MEGABOWL]

but he is, always, totally devoid of charisma. Have you ever seen him exude charisma? I've seen him 3 or 4 times and that's what he's like.

but then I liked Laura Marilng too

[thewayiam]

Exactly...Not playing Reading, Efests seems to think not V either....they may not have been marked as festival exclusives for a number of reasons but Glasto certainly seems the most likely option is they are doing another festival
