2013 Headliners

[fatyeti24]

There's 3 headliner slots to fill each year. They can't all be Bowie/Prince/Stones/Pink Flloyd/Smiths Reunions

It's a very quick rise to the top though isn't it

[Alan_C]

I think Kasabian will definitely be playing their next album in a headline slot on the Pyramid. Whether thats next year or the year after, I think it'll happen. They deserve it and they'll no doubt put on one of the best shows of the weekend.

[Justiceforcedave]

I'm quite aware of that thank you, I'm hardly expecting all 3 to be mega stars. I'm just saying that the festival can surely be a bit more imaginitive than a meat and two veg guitar band who have played every festival under the sun.

[Justiceforcedave]

I suppose it's better that if they do headline, it'll be off the back of a new album and not the same old, same old.

[Matt42]

they are a great act and i'm sure they could nail a glasto slot, just I don't think now is the right time.

I think it will be Headline or nothing for them from now on.

yeah, i'm personally sick to death of the bloody Smiths reforming!

(actually i never could stomach their music)

[FloorFiller]

No need to worry, much like Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhall, they're never ever ever getting back together, and I'll go the full Justiceforcedave and bet a bollock quiche on that.

Putting aside my hatred for the individuals that make up Kasabian, I see them as more of a sub band than a headliner. In size they're a headliner, but in ability, they've been summed up perfectly a couple of posts back as "meat and two veg". Indie rock tunes with singalong choruses, they're able to play their songs live perfectly adequately and have a frontman with that fucking asshole persona that passes for charisma in the society we live in, but is anything about their show anything other than just fine? Take Oasis or Arctics, remove what makes those bands stand out and you have Kasabian.

[Guest]

pretty much agree with everything you said there. to me Kasabian will always be that band who were born to sub Oasis, and that's it. i'm sure they'll make headliner in a couple of years, but christ will it be uninspiring

[sisco]

I thought your mate who rapped was opening the Pyramid Sat?

I'd go with that. 1 day at Pyramid, 1 day at Other and 1 day elsewhere for me, and a good amount I actually want to see on the pyramid. Be very surprised if Plan B subbed though - 2 hip hop subs in one year? Swap Plan B with Chase and Status and add in New Order and looking good

[dancelittleliar]

Isn't Plan B guaranteed a pyramid slot this year?

I'm very worried about chase and status, great act... but they are a big act now! they are gonna take up a big slot! Could well be a sub slot knocking a contender out.

[Sketchead]

Can I ask, why would he be guaranteed a sub slot?

[sisco]

By he do you mean Chase or Status?

[FloorFiller]

Plan B is probably big enough to sub... but i'd like to think that if he is playing it'd be third again. Chase and Status are subbing at Reading/Leeds so i think it's safe to say that if they're playing that's where they'll be at Glastonbury (unless, of course, they're a Other headliner)

[dancelittleliar]

Think he's doing smaller festivals this year, he's at 5 which is quite a big bunch. Played Glastonbury last time so don't think he'd play again, especially with Dizzee Rascal also in a sub slot. (he wouldn't accept any lower)
