2013 Headliners

If Eavis is brave enough to do it then I reckon he should get New Order to close the fest. They have the tunes and look wicked. If not headlining Pyramid stage then maybe Other or even better John Peel. Just somewhere please.

Yeah, I have always liked New Order but have never been sure of them live. I loved them at Bestival, especially the Joy Division stuff they did, it sounded great and it just seemed to be appropriate, and work. Not sure why, but it seemed very respectful and fitting (no pun intended) to Ian Curtis. They went up in my impressions at that gig. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Did not know New Order played Joy Division songs, I'm not really interested in their music, but I could pop along for a wee bit of Joy Division.

I know many people combat the kanye rumour with, "he has a kid coming late july".

Remember, even though she wasn't heavily pregnant, beyonce HEADLINED whilst being pregnant.

Not sure how that actually works with my argument, I'l just duck and run.

Are you really that bored that you criticise me for using the headliners thread appropriately? seeing as he's been heavily rumoured on here for a while!

Of course i'm bored with all the topics being spread, nothing meaty has come through for a while now. Feels like at certain stages we can be getting floods of information, then bang we're straight back into the dark.

Have to agree with the above, myself and everyone else I know who have seen the new New Order line up live have said that they're far better now. They're much more tight as a band and I wouldn't say they've lost anything from Hook leaving.

    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
    • I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise
