2013 Headliners

[sisco]

Kanye was meant to sub U2 last year (or have I just made that up??)

[fightoffyour]

I thought Emily Eavis ruled out Arcade Fire on twitter a while back, much to my disappointment

[Guest]

Kylie?

[FloorFiller]

they tried to get Kanye to sub Coldplay (i believe) but it never came to fruition (more than likely, yeah, because of his ego)

Neil's info on both Kanye and The Strokes had them as Pyramid headliners and that's it. i guess the info could've been a bit wrong (Kanye has supported the Stones at their own shows so it makes sense) but i can't see him taking sub

[russycarps]

why does everyone assume the locals have such abysmal taste? Who says they would want kylie or mumfords?? Surely even those country bumkins would prefer roger waters to those naff acts

[FloorFiller]

the thing with Roger Walters is, i can imagine a similar situation to The Stone Roses at Coachella / Ben Howard at the Brits, with Twitter filling up with 'Who the fuck is Roger Waters?' tweets. it's not going to happen, but if it did i'm sure a lot of the younger generation would have question marks over their heads

[Vanderlyle]

The country folk are clamouring for Ed Sheeran.

Is this serious?

[Ed209]

dead serious. do you seriously think a lot of average festival goers (baring in mind the demographic of festival goers has changed from 'mostly alternative types' to 'fucking everybody' in the past few years) would know who he is removed from Pink Floyd? my sister and all of her friends scoffed at The Rolling Stones headlining. they wouldn't have a clue who Roger Waters was, a long with a lot of people (not saying my sister and friends are a good example because they're idiots, but there you go)

[sisco]

Seeing as it wasn't even on last year, yes you probably have made it up

[Guest]

Yeah, u know what I mean?! I'm sure there was an article on it here a while ago.

[FloorFiller]

I don't understand why whats being written on twitter by brain dead morons is of concern to the festival though.

anyway, I should add that I think booking the Stones and Waters as 2 of the three headliners would be a risky move for the festival, but I don't get the twitter remark

[FloorFiller]

as for the Kanye thing, i believe the organisers had their eyes on him to sub Coldplay, but it never panned out, so they moved Elbow from subbing U2 to sub Coldplay and drafted in Morrissey to sub U2

Someone asked her on twitter about chances of Daft Punk and Arcade Fire playing (same tweet) and she replied directly to that person saying something like "doesn't seem likely".

I take these sorts of things with a pinch of salt though. And she didn't even say "no".

This is just because I really want AF there, but I expect them to play in 2014 now.

i'm not downplaying his artistic merit, or merit as a headliner. he'd make an amazing headliner. i'm just doubting the youth of today, especially (as i said) with EVERYBODY jumping on the bandwagon of festivals these days. maybe that doesn't matter to the organisers? i'm not sure. i'm sure a lot of the young'uns didn't know who Neil Young was to be fair

it ain't gonna happen anyway as has been said, he doesn't do festivals

Yeah, hopefully they play this year but it is probably more likely 2014, which sucks for me as i can't make it

[sisco]

He was meant to sub I think. Sure Morrissey replaced him instead (hence why he moved a gig around to play).
