Hope Arctic Monkeys do have a headline slot, seen them a couple of times and always enjoyed it. Not fussed if Rolling Stones do or don't play, would prob go and watch them if they do though. With Beyonce playing in 2011 would they put somebody like Adele or Rihanna as a headliner? Not my thing but just trying to think who has been popular recently.

A Beatle and the Stones at the same festival? I can see why people might think they're similiar (as they're from the same era) but that would be beyond a coup. Add arctics, mumfords, dizzee, chase and status etc (for anyone younger whose not impressed by those two) and that's still a balanced line-up. Alternatively Macca would be one of the few artists who could replace the stones without it seeming like a step down in size.

Adele recently cured her stage fright after attending countless and countless therapy.

She had this therapy because she nearly pulled out of the oscars.

I wonder if they re asked her? then again I don't think it will be her.

it would also seem like a lurid little heritage circle jerk. someone `a bit fresher please (i say this with absolutely nothing against either mccartney or the stones, it's just boring seeing the same old men topping festivals 40 years after their prime)

Saw Kasabian on Wednesday at there Teenage Caner Trust warm-up gig in Plymouth,

I'm sorry, and this may not be a popular opinion, but Mr Eavis is mental if he's not asking them about headlining 2014. They are just phenominal live.... probably one of the best live bands in Britain. The only band I've seen in the last year or so who could compare are Blur. (and trust me, I've seen a lot of bands).

Whilst I don't disagree that they are top live act (seen them twice), and they probably do deserve to headline at some point, there is the fact that they've headlined more or less every major UK/European festival in recent years, making them quite a predictable and dull booking (something Eavis probably wants to avoid).

Also every year we get rumours of the likes of Bowie, Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Daft Punk, Radiohead, Prince etc, meaning a lot of people would always see them as a bit of a 'mehhh' booking.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
