2013 Headliners

[BlackHole2006]

Reckon Dizzeeeeee is worth a punt for the Friday. Rolling Stones Saturday and someone unexpected on Sunday. I have actually seen Dizzeeeeee live before in Hyde Park at some shit olympics thing that my parents forced me to go to and he was surprisingly really good. Looked at the crowd and there was young and old people enjoying themselves and the atmosphere was quite nice, he has a lot of hits and can keep the crowd going. Saying that I won't be there if he headlines, but still he'd be a great punt in terms of Glasto headliner.

Or perhaps he's bored of replying to all the bullshit guessing in this thread when there's no information to reply with?

Do you think the arctic monkeys aren't playing or something?

[Matt42]

Only time will tell or something.

[Andeeroo]

That's right, he must be sick of all these idiots coming on to his website and discussing the things that the forum was designed for. It wouldn't surprise me if he just closed the whole thing down in disgust!

[BlackHole2006]

Personally I think they are incredibly likely. I could give three reasons I think they are most likely to play out of majority of rumours

[Matt42]

1) Tour dates make it very possible and very likely.

2) Drummer has let it slip to fans.

3) It's been 6 years since they played, Eavis is a fan of them, would see it as a friendly booking. Plus if he's friends with a band, he's very likely to book them to re-headline may a time (COUGH) muse & coldplay.

[Matt42]

Added two more for good measures.

4) New album in june/july (promotion).

5) People have heard information they are playing (other websites have reported it)

Point 5 isn't as strong as the others but it's still a point, they could of just read efestivals.

Nice one. Wouldn't be there but nice one. I might consider it but we'll see. Nice one on the other two as well.

[BlackHole2006]

So yeah, I think this is pretty good evidence.

Most likely someone will comment.

"DIZ IS NOT PROOF, THEY AREN'T PLAYING" or something, but it's very likely they are.

We have know that it's very likely the Arctic Monkeys are playing.

We know that they want The Stones

We know they have struggled to get a third.

That's actually where we are at according to Neil (well a week or so ago).

[Matt42]

Sorry mate but this is not proof and they aren't playing.

[BlackHole2006]

Had a feeling you'd put this.

[Matt42]

Why?

someone unexpected on Sunday. I

[sisco]

Sorry not good enough I need opinions from "The Man"

[thewayiam]

Mumford are ruled out of Reading and in America the week after V festival.

So it's clearly between Glasto and V for where they'll play. I'd say each week it looks more likely they'll be at Glasto. They might even do both tbh and play below the headliner at Glasto because V will have sold out by the time theyre announced.

after only one Glastonbury for me so far, I'm quite excited at the prospect of the rumoured line ups so far (arctics, mumford, stones, gaga) as a noobie to glasto in 2011 I was camped out at the Pyramid pretty much all weekend and although I really enjoyed the majority of what I saw, did feel I missed out on so much more because I took it as an opportunity to see some "big" acts I would not normally see without spending a fair few quid.

Those rumoured so far, will very easily allow me to explore other stages and hopefully see some classic artists from days gone by that are probably a lot more fun.

I never got the Arctics, all of their songs just sound the same to me in their Sheffield accents (although I did like Don't Sit Down), Mumfords were a novelty act to me that are still managing to kick around, Stones would be a box ticking exercise so would probably stay for 30 mins or so and Gaga is actually the one who probably intrigues me the most, but they'd have to be absolute shite on everywhere else for me to stay for her entire set.

Just read this about Mumfords...

I know it says UK and not English but could have been a typo. They must have got that info from somewhere

'Gentlemen of the Road' is a dubious title if ever i heard one. it brings to mind those chaps that loiter at truck stops offering certain services.
