2013 Headliners


Guest shangri-la_steward

Recommended Posts

Just listened to popmaster on radio 2, one of the contestants was asked about going to Glastonbury. He said he was going and said prince was headlining and said he was very excited to see him.

Obviously he has just read/heard this somewhere but it just made me laugh how many rumours there are and how far they can reach. Also how little anybody knows this year about this 3rd headliner.

As much as we all want to know the headliners you have to admit it builds excitement and gets so many people talking.

Having said that im desperate to know the line up NOW!!

Yes it was fun waiting about a year and a half when speculation was wild.

But now no one on this forum cares that much anymore, the forum goes through stages of being very boring and I just wanna know now. It's lost it's fun.

I'm quite happy waiting, the only thing that's got me thinking is the fact that we normally have one night where we see no headliners (the last two times it's been the Saturday) and we head to Shangri La early so we can have a look around and sit in the bars before they get busy, with the speculation about headliners I'm beginning to wonder if there'll be a night where they'll be no headliner I want to see.

I have to agree that waiting has got boring now, I need some confirmations to get my teeth into! The endless repetitive discussions about who is going to play, where we just keep on saying the same thing for pages at a time, is dull as dish water

Just thinking out loud about the whole mumford and stones situation. If mumford are the back up to the stones and are subbing them in case they pull out then they can't be headlining the sunday. But if they are headlining the sunday and the stones pull out who would headline the saturday and we're back to only having two headliners.

Or is it the case that mumford are booked but there position is not yet known depending on if the stones sign and who eavis can get for the sunday.

At the moment they could play saturday sub, saturday headline or sunday headline

As I say just bored and thinking out loud

it's been Neil's best guess that Mumfords were/are subbing to the Stones and their backup, but nothing on that is concrete at all. they're more than likely playing though, i'd have thought. their positioning is all still speculation. i personally think that they're the third headliner

it's very possible that there's a totally different act subbing the Stones who were being readied to step up. Mumfords definitely seems like the most likely act, but they also seem like the most likely third headliner (imo). guess we'll just have to wait and see

Robyn Hitchcock is confirmed to play, I'm just waiting for Chic to confirm and after that I could care less about anything else.

Maybe if Prince headlines I will be chuffed to pieces about that, but, that is about as likely as me performing naked on The Pyramid stage and doing the can-can.

Out of any sub playing any festival this year. Mumford would be the strongest sub. Almost too strong, that's why i'm a little inclined to think they are headlining the sunday..

Mumford - Huge crowd.

Rolling stones - Same huge crowd with a few extra's joining.

Do they want people to be crushed to death?

Mumfords would put people in a bloody good mood...

Look as much as you hate them, i've never seen someone ever come back from a mumford gig saying they didn't "give it their all" and that their "shit live".

Maybe they are one of those bands who on record are pretty dull, but in a good setting like a concert, really connect with the crowd, for example... this definitely looks like a bouncy performance to me.

Don't deny, the crowd are fecking loving it!

Mumfords would go down a storm, i'm sure, as they did at the last two festivals. if you do feel the need to wait that long for the Stones (should that situation come to pass), and you're not drunk enough to at least tolerate Mumfords, then you're just doing it wrong, imo.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
