2013 Headliners

[mandolin]

His tour looks likely, plus those are a very strong set.

However (people will disagree) the stones and macca are both the same sort of act right?

[CiderJames]

Hope Arctic Monkeys do have a headline slot, seen them a couple of times and always enjoyed it. Not fussed if Rolling Stones do or don't play, would prob go and watch them if they do though. With Beyonce playing in 2011 would they put somebody like Adele or Rihanna as a headliner? Not my thing but just trying to think who has been popular recently.

Adele was asked but said no, think she has stage fright issues. Rihanna always seemed a possibility but is only free the Friday which seems nailed on as Arctic Monkeys

[pyramidsong]

A Beatle and the Stones at the same festival? I can see why people might think they're similiar (as they're from the same era) but that would be beyond a coup. Add arctics, mumfords, dizzee, chase and status etc (for anyone younger whose not impressed by those two) and that's still a balanced line-up. Alternatively Macca would be one of the few artists who could replace the stones without it seeming like a step down in size.

Adele recently cured her stage fright after attending countless and countless therapy.

She had this therapy because she nearly pulled out of the oscars.

I wonder if they re asked her? then again I don't think it will be her.

Has anybody considered arctic monkeys might play on Sunday with Rihanna on Fri and stones sat?

it would also seem like a lurid little heritage circle jerk. someone `a bit fresher please (i say this with absolutely nothing against either mccartney or the stones, it's just boring seeing the same old men topping festivals 40 years after their prime)

[Trebor]

Stage fright is a terrible terrible thing. There are no positives to gain from it. Other than the possibility it may stop Adele ever headlining Glasto

Hopefully nothing gets announced this weekend as ill be in London all weekend. My local team in Grimsby have got to Wembley so I will not be in a state to check. UTM

Saw Kasabian on Wednesday at there Teenage Caner Trust warm-up gig in Plymouth,

I'm sorry, and this may not be a popular opinion, but Mr Eavis is mental if he's not asking them about headlining 2014. They are just phenominal live.... probably one of the best live bands in Britain. The only band I've seen in the last year or so who could compare are Blur. (and trust me, I've seen a lot of bands).

They do play a lot. I've seen them twice and don't even like them.

[coma girl]

Kasabian are good live but as others have said they have played the festival circuit to death, after having names like Prince, the Stones etc mentioned Kasabian would be a pretty disapointing headliner imo.

[mrtourette]

I don't think Eavis can control wild and unrealistic expectation and rumour.

[Matt42]

I'd be well open to kasabian playing after another successful album! As long as they play glastonbury first!

[formed a band]

I'm not sure how mumford and son got themselves to this stage

[neilloggie]

Whilst I don't disagree that they are top live act (seen them twice), and they probably do deserve to headline at some point, there is the fact that they've headlined more or less every major UK/European festival in recent years, making them quite a predictable and dull booking (something Eavis probably wants to avoid).

Also every year we get rumours of the likes of Bowie, Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Daft Punk, Radiohead, Prince etc, meaning a lot of people would always see them as a bit of a 'mehhh' booking.
