2013 Headliners

[FloorFiller]

yeah i think he more than likely turned it down last time as he thought of himself subbing as ridiculous so i doubt much has changed

it's a shame that all these speculations of 2011 didn't happen. U2 subbed by Elbow. Coldplay subbed by Kanye. Prince subbed by Beyonce. would've been quite a year

just had my hair done.. and the hairdresser went to see Kanye the other night... said it was awful, boring, wished she hadn't gone... one of the other customers overheard us, and she went too, and thought it was rubbish

having said that, I don't 'know' them, and they might have the worst taste in the world (lovely head massage though... mmmmm)

just sayin'

he's like a 10 year old

Pink Floyd are one of those few bands that crosses generations fairly easily. I expect any discerning music fans from any generation have the up most respect for floyd, probably much more so than The Stones.

Mr Tony Blair you have your hair 'done' rather than 'cut'?

[FloorFiller]

Floorfiller - this is partly the point I was making. Pink Floyd are the type of band that people go back and explore. Some might not like them, but they are almost universally acclaimed as one of the most innovative and classy bands in history.

And I don't want to be lame about this - but Glastonbury does have a slightly difference audience to T, or Oxegen, or V. I really can't see any self-respecting person with Glastonbury tickets going around Twitter or anywhere questioning him as a booking.

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

That's the Prodigy ruled out for a possible Other slot then http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/13/130227d.shtml

[Mardy]

I'm going to get a lot of grief for this, but I'm quite pleased that the Prodigy won't be back this year. Frees up the Other headlining spot for someone new, maybe someone who's not played as a headliner before.

what!? Glastonbury comes before everything else.

[Sam92]

Can we all just chill out and accept that it's Wham!

[Englishdragon]

This thread goes on some absolutely bizarre tangents at times.....

[LondonTom]

i used my sister as an example as in previous years she's only been interested in the likes of V etc, but (and i think Beyonce headlining had a large part to do with this) this year she just wanted to go to Glastonbury (although she didn't get tickets and now upon hearing that Beyonce is at V has lost all interest)

[ghandi]

I am afraid we are going to have too wait for at least another 3 or 4 weeks until we get a sniff or all the headliners, unless the Stones come out and announce something to the press beforehand. So, more weeks of pages of nonsense on this thread then!

[Justiceforcedave]

...Smashing Pumpkins.

[Vanderlyle]

but the point i was making is that Glastonbury is now THE festival of festivals for EVERYBODY. people who usually wouldn't of ventured to Glastonbury and would've gone to Reading/Leeds/T/Creamfields/V for their lineups are now going to Glastonbury BECAUSE it's Glastonbury and it's just well known that it shits on all of the other festivals, and so whilst a majority will know of Waters / Floyd, there's definitely an increase in recent years of people who wouldn't have a clue. i used my sister as an example as in previous years she's only been interested in the likes of V etc, but (and i think Beyonce headlining had a large part to do with this) this year she just wanted to go to Glastonbury (although she didn't get tickets and now upon hearing that Beyonce is at V has lost all interest)

Its not the worst news, it would have been the exact same setlist from when they last played

to sum up... most people would know who he is, but some might not?

[Guitargeek]

.......Smashing Pumpkins.

[Guest]

more that there's a rising amount of people attending Glastonbury who wouldn't, regardless of people seeming to think that Glastonbury attendees are the height of music intellectuals

[MichaelsBeard]

Imagine if the Stones say no... (quite plausible). From Eavis's point of view this years festival really does rely on them playing IMO. A potential trio of Arctic Monkeys / Mumford and Sons / Kanye West etc would be the one of the poorest set of headliners the festival has had. I imagine they're pinning everything at the moment on the presumption they are playing.

But then, it's not about the acts Glastonbury right?
