Hard Rock Calling same weekend as Glasto.

Reckon that's the Stones' doing?

If Dizzee Rascal headlines (which I will put my house on him not) then I may actually get home for midnight on the Sunday

[Englishdragon]

I just think we've been very spoiled with headliners in previous years. Expectations are too high

Dizzee CV: 4 albums, (5 probably by the time he headlines), 5 number one singles (probably more by the time he headlines), worked his way up from nothing to get where he is, original artist, pioneer of UK rap scene, already supported headliner on pyramid and nailed it. Successfully headlined smaller festivals. Live band.

He deserves a go. Same people probably moaning about the same old glasto headliners on rotation. It'd be great to see someone else get a go. Rather him closing than Mumfords. At least he'd put on a fucking party.

If people are saying Dizzee is more worthy of a headline spot than Mumford and Sons then Ive officially lost faith in the British public

Dizzee f**king Rascal??? How can I get away from this chump?

Honestly, I get tickets for Glastonbury and head up to the Park to see a Franz Ferdinand secret set in 2008 and he's there with his fans blocking me in as I try to get out. I get tickets for Glastonbury again and want to see Spinal Tap and Crosby Stills and Nash and who's playing between them? Dizzee Rascal! Then, as if by magic the same thing happens the next year when I want to see Vampire Weekend and Gorillaz. Then I decide to get tickets to see Arcade Fire and Libertines at Leeds. Who's playing before them? Yep, him again. Then I go and get tickets for Kendal Calling on Glastonbury's fallow year and who's headlining? F**k off it can't be. Then I get tickets to see Muse at the Etihad Stadium and who gets announced as support? Stone me if it's not Rizzie Dascal. Then this happens. Arrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!

I hate him and everything about him but it looks like I'm going to end up unwittingly seeing him for the 7th time in June.

My main problem with Dizzee headlining is that he hasn't done a single thing since 2010 to propel him from his last slot into headline status.

Always is

[Monkismo]

Sorry, why are Mumford and Sons more worthy? Please explain

[Ed209]

Probably because they're biggest band in the world right now?

[Englishdragon]

The idea of 'worthy' fills me with fucking dread.

[russycarps]

It's not my opinion (I hate them with a passion) but on album sales I can't think of anybody except Adele who's sold more. I think they've sold something like 2m in America and they hold the record for most album downloads ever or something.

[Englishdragon]

TBH I wouldn't be surprised if he drops a few places in 2013 and goes back to the Afternoon slot.

[Ed209]

Im not agreeing with people using it I was mearly commenting on him saying that.

[thewayiam]

Arctics, (Rolling Stones), Mumford, Dizzee

If Stones say no now its going to look like a weak year for the pyramid stage headliners.

All the artists appeal to and come from the same generation

Its more like a set of headliners from V. I don't even think Festival Republic would have that lot for R/L

[Monkismo]

westlife sold more than all of them,

GET THEM SIGNED EAVIS

using album sales as a gauge of who should headline glastonbury? good grief
