2013 Headliners

[gazza_20]

I still think Radiohead and Arcade Fire are pretty much nailed on.

With David Bowie headlining with The Cure subbing on the sunday

even neil agreed that example could headline the other stage by that time. sell out arena's, get number 1's, big albums, huge popularity, he can do it. Panic at the disco bloody did.

[gazza_20]

Yes but thats based on other solid reasons not saying his 3rd at IOW so is bound to headline other.

I used his 3rd IOW spot as that's what he'd been announced for, and I don't think it's that bad a reason.

Since when did bound to and not too unrealistic that he could mean the same thing?, Think you put an unused term in there.

The fact that reason was used isn't really the point. Where I stated he could play is. IOW is a major festival.

[gazza_20]

Even though they had Prodigy headline in 09, while at Glastonbury they were on the other stage, as well as plenty of their headliners subbing.

I do think Example might be big enough by 2013 but I don't think him being 3rd down at IoW helps your case for it.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I don't think it needs to bud, selling out multiple arena's tours helps my case just fine.

That was a bit of a weak year though for IOW barring Neil Young and Pixies, they also had Sterephonics headline with Razorlight under them which is pretty weak. They are still a big band but are not a headliner. Take 2010, Jay - Z, The Strokes (big comeback), Paul McCartney.

[gazza_20]

So what you're saying is IOW line-ups cannot be used to help predict other festival line-ups?

With regards to Example, he has a while to go yet. Of course he could do it in 2013, but there's a lot more acts, who have lots more to build on, that are a lot more likely.

Lady GaGa new info about a record breaking 450 date, two year world tour. Surely that will include a Glasto headline show?, I'd be shocked if it didn't.

if kylie can headline im sure gaga can, of course im far to cool and be in the acoustice tent listening to miss vega.

Well then 2013 is what I said so you've agreed. It is a 2013 thread afterall.

[gazza_20]

But there's hundreds of artists who could headline Other in 2013?

You said that that line-up was a weak year, so that couldn't be considered. Which is exactly what I said you said, otherwise there'd have been no point of you saying it was a "weak" year.

[thetime]

bjork to headline other stage.

doing alot of euro festival, next year and and can see her finishing of the current tour at glasto 2013. With bjork doing bestival theres only latitiude and glast I could see her doing in the uk, which probably says more about uk fest bookers than bjork herself.

but to be fair she should be headlining the whole thing.

[chickenfire]

A curveball idea for Other Stage headliner... Weezer.

Simply amazing live band, would just be a brilliant booking.

Thoughts?

[Bisque]

I've only heard great things about Weezer's live performances, especially Reading '10. I couldn't see them headline Other currently, I wouldn't say they were much bigger than Jimmy Eat World (wrong?) who played about half way up this year.

arcade fire

radiohead

daft punk

[gazza_20]

This would be my fantasy line-up but...

A I can't see daft punk headlining the pyramid (though they'd be great)

B I think they'll have a true mainstream pop act one night, maybe gaga or Florence?

So.. Radiohead one night, AF another and then Daft punk headlining the other stage against a crowd pulling pop act will do me nicely.

[JIM-182]

Reverse your headliners around so Radiohead play Friday and it's a good shout, though I still reckon that The Stone Roses needs to not happen for Biffy to be back so soon and headline. It's quite clear even given Melvin Benn's latest R&L statement that The Roses surely would take a headline glasto spot over R&L, they will have cashed in heavily next year so couldnt' see their appearance there until at least the following year after.

[gazza_20]

Sorry, i didnt put them down in day order, i just stuck them down agreed about the Biffy/Dizzee clash.

Just come back from seeing Kasabian at the 02, I know there bit everyone's cup of tea and frankly they were poor at the isle of wight this June. BUT, they smashed it tonight, perhaps not 2013 (I mean there's no place for them what with the Rolling Stones, Smiths and arcade fire) but 2014 perhaps they deserve at shot at headlining, If it's like tonight then most will enjoy it, hard not to get caught up in the sing-a-long moments!
