The Non-Headlining Acts 2013


Guest GlastoSimon

Recommended Posts

While it's possibly a little early, I felt that a speculation thread for the non-headlining acts was necessary.

Who would you like to see? Just watched Jack White and thought he'd be brilliant at Glastonbury, not only for the catalogue of songs from The White Stripes, Dead Weather, The Raconteurs etc. but it generally looked a very good show. I thought it'd be ideal if he headlined the JP tent. Is he too big for that?

I think it'll be interesting also to see if the bands that have dramatically moved up the R/L line-up (The Vaccines and Bombay Bicycle Club stick out) will do the same for Glasto in 2013 and play a decent position on the Pyramid.

The White Stripes headlined the Pyramid on the Friday of 2005.

Jack white would be too big for JP, but could easily see him headlining the Other Stage

Not really my cup of tea though

deffo see the Vaccines playing quite high up next year.

Elbow will headline either Other Stage, or maybe even the Pyramid as a long shot. Could also see Sigur Ros headlining other stage

I can see bjork sub headlining main next year, perhaps below radiohead.

Would kill for sigur ros, ed sheeren will get another big push and maybe garbage will get a very high slot on the other stage and maybe headline it.

I'd been thinking about this for a while and decided as long as Justice, Hot Chip, Julio Bashmore, Joy Orbison, Shy FX, Toddla T, Jack White, Jesus And The Mary Chain, Foals, Max Romero, Stephen Marley, Bob Dylan, Best Coast and New Order are there, I'll be relatively happy. There was definitely one more I'd decided on but can't remember : /

The Vaccines will defo get a good slot - they're playing this year's Pilton Party, and the 'reward' for doing that is a good slot!

I'd love to see Elbow headline the Other, and would in particular like to see Garbage, The Duke Spirit, Vaccines, Bombay Bicycle Club get good slots on Other / Pyramid. Can definitely SBTRKT getting a decent slot somewhere in Dance or John Peel, along with Example. Grimes is excellent too - she'd be great in John Peel.

Away from the music stages I'd love to see some more comedians - Sir BIll of Bailey, obviously, but also others too. Probably not Jimmy Carr though... :sarcastic:

JACK WHITE JACK WHITE JACK WHITE (at least headlining the other, utterly brilliant!)

Franz Ferdinand/Bloc Party/The Vaccines/Mumford and Sons/Two Door Cinema Club for some prominent slots across the main stages.

and hopefully The Hives/Django Django/Marina and The Diamonds/Lana Del Rey/Band of Skulls will feature at some point!

i didn`t think there was a pilton party this year , they were due to play last year i know ,but im sure eavis mentioned there would be no pilton party this year as its usually a thankyou to locals for putting up with the festival each year.

there wasn't a Pilton Party last year, so that's why it's this year.

there is only one pilton party is`nt there? usually first friday in sept didnt go last year but it definetley happened.

now I'm mightily confused, mostly by my own stupidity I think. :lol:

I of course knew there was one last year, which is why Plan B and The Vaccines have been in the efests rumours since last summer.

A Pilton resident has told Scott that there's one this year, tho I'm now doubting that a bit cos you're right, they don't normally have them for one of the years when there's no festival. Then again, as they've said The Vaccines it would make sense for them to be invited to play to make up for not having been able to do it last year.

    • They had it last year too, between 3 and 4 pm.
    • I've been told beer will be cheaper until 6pm. Anyone can confirm?   Not like i'll drink more than 1-2 in 38 C degrees.
    • This!   Biffy Clyro I don't think would ever get asked, I just don't think it us their scene and it certainly wouldn't be a wise move for them after how the Finsbury Park show went. If they ever had a chance of regaining or staying a bit higher up taking Slam Dunk isn't how you do it. For the cost of it now I think being into the main headliner does make a difference though. 
    • Sabrina I actually think is alright, but as an overall thing including Fontaines in the mix it does look very boring. 
    • I went to the O2 show as had cheap NHS tickets. I did love the whole Machine Gun Kelly vs MGK Emo/Pop Punk stuff amusing and could see that show going down well. I thought it was so funny watching the video skits of a die hard old skool fan gradually morphing in to an Emo Kid. That show with less old Machine Gun Kelly tunes and more MGK Pop-Punk would be ace.   Pair him against a heavy act on the other stage and jobs a goodun,
