2013 Headliners

[Mardy]

I reckon both Plan B and Chase & Status will be on the pyramid. And rightly so.

[Matt42]

I have seen on websites that he was planning to join them as a sub project.

Maybe... and this is a maybe... they are doing a slot together.

They have done songs together countless times, would be great.

[GuitarManDan15]

Professor Green will have to be high up on the pyramid, 4th maybe? He played the pilton party in 2012 so I assume he'll be bumped up to 4th/5th on the sunday?

[sisco]

So a likely selection of pyramid acts this year.

Arctic Monkeys

Dizzee Rascal

The Rolling Stones

The Vaccines

Mumford and Sons

Professor Green

Rokia Traore

Malian Act x 2

[neilloggie]

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)

I have never taken any notice of where people play at other festivals in relation to Glastonbury

Quite a few acts have played lower down,than at other festivals in the same year.

Biffy were third down on Friday 2011,but headlined Sonisphere that same year.

C&S would be a not too bad Other headliner providing they had a few special guests.

[sisco]

plus Mr Friend who raps

[the wonderwhy]

Isaiah Dreads?? Was that his name?

[Matt42]

Something along those lines. I can't believe Dreads is his ACTUAL name...

looking forward to Malian Act x 2. their new album is ace.

[MEGABOWL]

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.

[LondonTom]

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.

[Superscally]

Yeah cos the arctic monkeys are so fucking inspired?! ...Kasabian are at least trying out diffrent things than being your standard guitar band.

[Matt42]

I still just find it so incredible we are being faced with a possible lineup reveal this coming week, and we only know one headliner, a yes or no headliner, and anyone's game.

If it's true mumfords are subbing the stones we could be in for a real shock when the lineup come!

[mrtourette]

Well, they have adapted their sound more than Kasabian, their lyrics stare down from a lofty pedestal at what Kasabian call "lyrics", their singer does more than shout stuff like he was at a football match and they're far better critically received.

What different things are Kasabian trying out? Cross-stitch?

I've gone for two youngish acts The Stones day, usually you wouldn't get that but it's a double for Pyramid movement. You could have VW on Sat but then you still end up with C&S and Example.

Can't really define Weller on a different day as they are all guitar bands, but I think Arctics will separate your young from old crowd. I've also done this as I can see Damon popping up (when doesn't he?) and playing with Noel and Weller like they did at TCT. Coxon being there is another story.

[thewayiam]

Noel is most likely not playing anymore.

I'm more leant towards

Arctic Monkeys

Dizzie Rascal

Kenny Rogers

Rita Ora

Paul Weller/New Order

Rolling Stones

Mumford & sons

The Vaccines

Chase & Status

Example

Paul Mccartney

Plan B

[sisco]

Personally thought NGHFB was a weird one when they were rumoured considering they aren't playing anywhere else. Don't think they will play myself.

Agree that Kenny Rodgers will be Sunday.

Still think M&S will either sub or headline Saturday.

Can't see Plan B subbing myself

[galeforcerob]

Is everyone forgetting that plan b played 3rd on the main stage in 2011, it would be a boring booking to have home back so soon just moving up one space.

Plus I'm not sure he's got much bigger since then, Strickland banks was hugely popular but ill manors has alienated most of his fans of SB.

I have nothing against the guy, I would just like someone else to sub.
