2013 Glasto Alternative Acts

[Whittick]

If I'm honest, I think Glasto is getting quite predictable. None of the recent headliners have stood out particularly (except maybe Blur), and there seems to be a lack of good alternative acts performing.

When I say alternative, I'm referring to QOTSA type acts (their 2012 set blew me away).

Personally, I'd like to see Phish play. I've seen them numerous times in America and they've always been fantastic. They deserve a chance in the UK. I also think that Jane's Addiction should play. A late afternoon, early evening slot would be fantastic.

Who would you like to see ?

The pixies

Placebo need to play again. They haven't played in over 10 years I think...

I think they'd be good to headline the Other Stage one night.

Booking UNKLE would be truly innovative.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols.

[TimmyP's Mobile Disco]

I'd like to see someone like Aerosmith - that would be great

[Spindles]

They've played several times? At least twice.

Metallica, Foo Fighters and Iron Maiden would be great alternative headliners I reckon. Not for 2013 but for future Glastos.

[Ulysses]

Get UNKLE and/or Chemical Brothers. Also Roger Waters would be awesome.

I'm very interested in how you'd qualify this statement.

The last two Glasto's have had

U2 - One of the biggest bands in the world, who sell out stadiums around the world, and sell millions of records worldwide, playing their first, and probably only ever festival headline set.

Beyonce - Her first ever festival headline set, the first ever woman to headline Pyramid

Gorillaz - Playing full band, one of their only large scale UK shows, featuring members generally viewed as legendary

Stevie Wonder - World famous musician playing his first ever UK festival headline set.

Don't think any of those are what i'd call obvious.

It was somewhen around the mid-nineties.

I would love to see Phish.

Another shout out for Phish here. Massive fan. Would be a dream to see them.

Ween should play a set at West Holts. Now that would be something.
