Who's going to own 2013?

[Midnight Man]

2009 was Blur (sorry Bruce), 2010 was Stevie/FLips for most (PSBs/Jerry Dammers for me), 2011 was probably Pulp.

So who's going to own Glastonbury 2013?

Chic? Stones? Fuck Buttons? Monkeys?

Mumfords?

For most I think it'll be Portishead or The Stones

Portishead for those who go, Stones and M&S for the headlines.

[eoinca]

For me Janelle Monae stole the show in 2011, I think Chic will do it this year.

[Jackmypie]

Radiohead

[dave219123]

damon albarn

[Rich14375]

Daft Punk

[Memory Man]

chic.

but everyones opinion is different! for some people it could be a tiny band on a stage in the greenfields, thats what makes glastonbury so great, it is different for everyone and people value different parts of the fest differently to others.

focusing solely on the main stages is somewhat short sighted and something I think this forum suffers from in general.

The Eavis family and Glastonbury Festivals Limited (2013).

Just you watch.

Bruce Forsyth.

Arctic Monkeys are seriously going to smash it. I imagine Bastille will be the media darling act of the festival.

[JackyBoi]

I can honestly see the Arctics nailing it this year.

[WillyVWade]

Chic. Guaranteed.

Dizzee is clearly just warming up for a headline slot.

Arctics will nail out the hits, and the fan-tracks will sound great, but if that don't get the mix and pacing right, could be another Gorrillaz.

[sunnyshoes]

Foals. Going to be amazing.

[Wooderson]

Gas how a festival so powerful and imposing as Glasters is relying on Nile Rodgers' humble band to define 2013. Find that baffling.

Jagger all the way, there'll be comedy strutting and lips everywhere I betcha

I think the Artics will pull it out. They've come a long way since the Friday night slot in 2007.

[mr gumby]

I suspect Nick Cave will surprise a lot of people and steal the show.

I'd say it's clearly going to be the Stones. For some reason a lot of the regulars on here seem to have got really blasé and forgot how big a deal it is. They'll be the main subject of conversation in the build up and, if they're decent, after. To the outside world it's still big news.

Hardly blasé, it's just that they are at the very top of my list of bands whose music I never want to hear again. I do accept that booking them is a big deal and I will quite understand if they pull a record crowd - in fact, as I was with U2, I'm hoping they do. U2 disappoint in so many ways.

I don't understand this thread at all - is the idea that a popular band will be unexpectedly good? Obviously, unknown bands cannot have much impact as there will be few people in their audience, whilst big bands suffer from the weight of expectation. Is the OP asking which hugely popular band, who everybody expects to be mediocre, will actually be entertaining? Odd question.

[JBarbour]

The Hives, Seasick and Foals never fail to impress but don't know about owning

The Stones will be the biggest let down, have you guys forgot the recent videos from live shows? Utter shite.
