2013 Headliners

[pyramidsong]

Kasabian (Friday 2007) - Headliner Arctic Monkeys/Played after The Fratellis - Saturday Sub Other Stage 2005

The Kooks (Saturday 2007) - Headliner The Killers/Played after Paul Weller - ?

Kaiser Chiefs (Sunday 2007) - Headliner The Who/Played after Manic Street Preachers - Saturday 6th Pyramid Stage

Is it me or in 2007 did they not want anyone to move from the Pyramid or Other Stage at all on the Friday?

[Chazeboy]

Go back even further, same "rules" apply, you find yourself going really?

But as others have said, it fits in with the "scene" at the time, they are popular so why not, generally it's always in retrospect that folk don't like bands, and remember the limited number of us on here do not make up the majority of folk at the festival

[FloorFiller]

it's the same way you look back at bands like, say, Stereophonics headlined. seems unbelievable now but i'm sure it made a lot of sense back then. The Fratellis that high up, though, must've been bizarre even then, surely!?

[FloorFiller]

i know they were high up at most festivals they played but it still seems bizarre to me... i mean... didn't they just have one popular song!? and i know it was a ridiculously popular song that was used on almost every television advert at the time, but subbing Glastonbury off of that... hmm

Sub Sub ate subs after subbing Suggs. They were famished.

let's hope they never come near worthy farm again

Just to link info from various threads, Neil says he thinks the Stones are out. I'll keep dreaming that Bowie'll fill in until they announce it's Radiohead.

[Justiceforcedave]

Complete with Kings of Leon tantrum!

[zero000]

Yeah I really regret seeing Kings of Leon that year. Should have gone to see Soulsavers with Mark Lanegan instead. Though on the plus side the tantrum does make for a good story.

[mrtourette]

When they were announced I was really looking forward to KOL but made a last minute call to go and watch FNM instead. Great move even if I do say so myself.

[FloorFiller]

so are people thinking Arctics / Radiohead / Fleetwood Mac as the logical headliners if the Stones pull out then?

and i'd grown sick of KOL by then so went to see FNM. the tent was so empty, but it was fantastic

[mattgimmeshelter]

ugh kings of leon can fuck off. Shit band.

[MEGABOWL]

Arctics still look pretty likely. Based on no evidence whatsoever I've always though Gaga will do it. So in my evidence-free world that leaves one slot that was meant for the Stones but if they aren't doing it opens it up to all sorts of possibilities - Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, Blur, Springsteen, Neil Young + Crazy Horse, Mumfords, Paul McCartney, Jay Z/Kanye, or even something none of us have seen coming

[mattgimmeshelter]

Arctics, Fleetwood Mac, GaGa is fine by me two nights to explore the other stages. I kind of don't want radiohead to play just so it takes a decision out my hands.

[FloorFiller]

every time it seems like we've got the three headliners spot on something comes along and throws a spanner in the works fucking it all up. if the Stones have in fact backed out, then i'd be very surprised if Fleetwood aren't one of the headliners (whether already being there as the Sunday headliner or replacing the Stones). as for the final one... i'd like to think Radiohead or Watch The Throne
