I dont know how they will perform at glasto or T, becuase most of their songs that I would have thought were suited to a festival or stage performance would be off the first album and less off the second, but we shall see

Justin Timberlake is not a headliner. He will not headline V. He isn't popular or big enough, and definitely doesn't have enough big songs. He's a sub, tops.

Look forward to you all disagreeing with me. Quote me next March.

You probably only wrote this looking for an argument.

If Mumfords can get headline slot at Glasto, anything can happen with festivals now. I think he would be big enough to headline V. After taking a while out the hype for him will be even bigger. I agree that the two songs he released as singles were big, and he will release more. I didnt know about the new album thing, it will be interesting to see where he plays and what fests he plays

Glasto has had a lot weaker headliners than mumfords.

Wireless festival always struggles to sell out, JT headlines and it sells out very quick. To me tyat suggests there is a high denand for him to play somewhere like v. Will he be asked? Will he be around? Will he want to is another story.

On here mumfords arent popular, and people on here also claim to have a wide range of music so I dont know why people dont like them. I think there would be high demand for him and V would certainly pay enough to get him

I quite enjoyed mumfords set when I saw them last summer, people say there songs sounding the same but it didnt stop oasis having a great career for 20 years.

Any Oasis fan who doesn't admit their last 3/4 albums were all the same regurgitated bollocks is in denial though. Their first couple were brilliant, but then they clearly lost whatever originality they had

Oasis just got lucky with there timing of coming out and the same with blur. All the britpop bollox we all got sucked in by, ladette culture, festivals getting popular etc etc.

Erm, have you seen how successful The 20/20 experience has been? Suit and tie and Mirrors are both huge songs, and that's two of many hits he's had. I'd argue Justin Timberlake is most definitely headline material.

Without a doubt! He's one where people buy not even being big fans. Why sub when he could sell headline shows out that would mean fests needed to give him a headline spot. 8 years out the uk scene I think, he'd be a massive pull and V and T will gain a lot from it. He could do T & Glasto but I see V

I think he would put on a good show wherever he plays, but I think he will do somewhere next year. I rule out Wireless or anything smaller as he would want to do the bigger places and bigger paydays, so thats V and T and Glasto. I still think either the first two or Glasto

You don't get big paydays at Glastonbury.

You surely do in terms of music sales post-event. I've seen no statistics, but I'd hazard a guess that Glastonbury headliners make more money through the post-festival music and ticket sales alone than the fees V's headliners get paid for headlining - which more than makes up for Glasto offering a third of what V offers to headline acts.

Pretty much spot on, especially with the coverage they get on bbc. It's also the prestige of headlining Glastonbury, certainly looks good on the cv.

Thats what I was meaning. The overall package of exposure at glasto would help anyone sell more. Does anyone know if the Rolling Stones are bringing out a new album anytime soon?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
