2013 Headliners

[Justiceforcedave]

are people falling for these 'leaked' posters, still?

It's massively more likely that any 'leaked' poster is more likely to be a fake than it is genuine. There's even templates floating around for many of the fests now, so that anyone can easily make their own.

It doesn't get to mean that every poster is a fake of course, but there's absolutely no reason to put any belief in them unless there's something else along with the poster to give it some credibility.

[Justiceforcedave]

not 'added'.

They've been changed to give the day as Sunday, because I've had some info which gives their day as that. However, what I don't really have is anything solid enough to put them as anything stronger than a rumour at the moment.

[eFestivals]

Would that not fit in nicely with the Arctics/Stones info you have thus making it more likely?

not really. We know that *someone* will headline the Sunday. That's about all there is right now.

I do have some info which puts Fleetwood Mac as headlining the Sunday, but I've no idea how much it can be trusted and I've yet to make the checks I make over info I get.

I'd be more likely to believe a leaked poster/lineup if an announcement was imminent (Like the reading 2011 leak in the morning). Why would a festival put a poster togther so far in advance? Short answer is they wouldn't!

sh!t. a part of me was really starting to believe that The Throne might actually be headlining, but Fleetwood Mac seems a lot more realistic. i'm really torn on whether i want to see Fleetwood - on the one hand, seeing the likes of The Chain live would be incredible, but on the other hand, bar Rumours (and a few other select songs) i couldn't give a f*ck about what they do. hopefully they'll do some shows beforehand so i can get an idea of the setlist

[Justiceforcedave]

Rumours (and a few other select songs)

[FloorFiller]

i think, along with Arctics, Fleetwood will have to be another 'who else is on, what i feel like at the time' ordeal. will more than likely end up seeing both but if i miss them (and even if i hear they were incredible) i'm not going to feel too bad

[ian_sw]

From a purely selfish point of view that is an awesome set of headliners .... Pyramid 3 nights in a row it is !!!

[TheSeventhOne]

I'll definitely be watching Fleetwood Mac (unless they happen to clash with somebody like Daft Punk, Kraftwerk or Sigur Ros). Not a massive Stones fan - they've (unbelievably) passed me by over the years and I've never really been able to get into them. Arctic Monkeys would be excellent for a bit of nostalgia, but if there was somebody better on, I'd give them a miss.

[Avalon_Fields]

I hope it is Fleetwood Mac, not too fussed about seeing the Arctic Monkeys unless they have a knock-out new CD on the way, more than happy to have time elsewhere at east one evening....

[ghandi]

I would have to see the Stones, Arctic Monkeys intrigue me depending on the set they do, would i take the gamble? Now as i used to love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood mac do have some good tunes and do like them, i am not that inthused if they headline and would probably choose somewhere else. The problem is our group would want to be together for a last night bash/ singalong this would split the group as one of us has already said they are going to be at Fleetwood if they played. If thats the case i hope they don't headline on Sunday.

Rather have Gaga, feel weird saying that, but one old timer headliner is enough for me.

I do think people put to much focus on the whole 'old timer' pyramid headliners. When there are dozens of stages full of younger stuff.

[mattgimmeshelter]

I'm quite disappointed about fleet wood being in the running to close the festival, definately won't be at the pyramid that night! Could of booked someone much more interesting and saved them for next year! Wtt/gaga would of been a much more ballsy choice! Let down

[FloorFiller]

Fleetwood Mac will do a good job of closing the festival, no doubt. a more 'classy' end to the festival, but a good one none the less. but just how incredible would it've been to end the festival by bouncing around to N*ggers In Paris like seven times!? here's hoping for a really good Other headliner the Sunday night - as much as i love the smaller stages, i just love ending festivals out in the open, with thousands of people, everybody losing their sh!t

[TheSeventhOne]

How exactly could booking three of biggest the artists in the world (Kanye, Gaga, Jay-Z) be considered ballsy?

[Role Model]

Because as people on this site prove, many punters think they're apparently "shit".

[Guest]

Really don't have so much interest in Fleetwood Mac, I'd actually rather have Gaga, even though I think her music is shite, I reckon she'd be more fun. She's popular because what people want out of pop music these days is meaningless toss they can get tanked up and dance to. I'd rather be tanked up and dancing to Gaga than bored shitless at Fleetwood Mac.

[grinny2010]

Think The Strokes as other headliner would be a great booking with Gaslight Anthem subbing maybe. Also Jack White on the bill somewhere

[Justiceforcedave]

I fail to see how a very recent headliner is a ballsy headliner.
