2014 Headliners

[ThomThomDrum]

Why are people thinking the Rolling Stones again? I know its for fun but thats very odd..........

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Daft Punk. With Prince as the elusive fourth headliner.

2014 is the year.

[willutalk]

MUSE + PRINCE + LADY GAGA

[GlastoSimon]

You forgot Dolly.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Arcade Fire, Fleetwood, Roses.

Daft Punk won't play stop kidding yourselves.

Radiohead are shit. (come at me bro)

Muse are gobshites,

Prince hates mud.

[eFestivals]

It will be very interesting to see what efestivals says post this years festival........

what will be said will be what Michael has verbally lined up, which came my way from a number of different directions. I was quite amused to get next year's names when I couldn't get firm info on this year's.

What normally happens tho is that one or more of them change between Eavis making a loose agreement long before that year's festival and time to sign on the dotted line - so while I'm very confident in the info I've had, I'm far from confident in all three names being right when the festival makes its official announcement.

Having said that, I think two of them are far more likely to happen than not happen. The other is much less likely, I think.

I do think speculation will get wilder seeing as a band which has always been an impossibility is playing this year.

unless the Eavis's have recently acquired the power to raise the dead*, it can't get wild.

(* if they have: Bob Marley, please )

As far as big names go, the only way is down.

Can we please not have wild speculation without remembering that Robert Plant has said, when asked about whether he would play with Led Zep again, that "he hasn't got much on next year" implying he's open to the possibility and Emily has recently stated that they're her dream booking. Having said that, when Neil raised this a couple of months ago, before we knew this year's headliners, he replied to my LZ speculation that they weren't one of the acts lined up at present.

Fleetwood Mac are a given. It won't be Daft Punk (uncertainty over how they're doing live) and seems unlikely to be Arcade Fire (hate Glastonbury, which everyone seems to forget) at this point, Radiohead seem much more plausible. It can't be Prince (doesn't commit that far in advance). We also know Bowie isn't committed to ever playing live again (yet), so it's not him.

So, the likeliest in place verbal agreements are Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead and The Stone Roses (who owe Glasto a performance).

Haven't been on here all day. Neil, are you back properly or is it just a day-trip?!

Had a dream last night that Bowie did two hyde park shows in 2014 and turned glastonbury down last minute.

I'd love to know how you came the the conclusion that Radiohead are "likely". Other than the fact Thom Yorke seems to love Glastonbury.

[MEGABOWL]

Arcade Fire, Stone Roses, Fleetwood Mac. In that order.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

There you go, answering your own question! They're the only band being bandied about with a significant relationship with the festival who might even possibly have verbally agreed yet. There's no evidence that any of the acts suggested will be playing next year, apart from Mac because they've said their tour will go into 2014.

I was also at the show wearing a onezie whilst the woman next to me was dressed up as ziggy stardust, his opening song was Bring me the head of the disco king.

[Dead throne]

HANG ON A BIT ! The Big 4 on the Pyramid would would absolutely rule!!

Maybe slip Machine Head and Exodus in there as well and then you have a blood good day of metal !!!

[the wonderwhy]

As if Fleetwood Mac will still be around.

The Stone Roses, Radiohead (or Daft Punk), Arcade Fire
