Sub Coldplay when?

If saturday is the bigger slot why did someone say why didnt Stones close the fest?

2014 its the 2014 thread...

Thats what im suggesting that the stones didnt close as the saturday is the big headline slot, stones headlined saturday? Imnot saying im right but a suggestion.

I thought you maybe meant at Glasto next year or something. If Coldplay and Mumfords are the headliners I dont care there The XX play I will be buying a ticket. They would maybe be too similar to headline at the same time though but it would sell good I think

I didn't know that, why is that the big headline slot, surely bands want to close the fest? like at Reading the big slot is the Sunday, obviously not at Leeds though

Not sure why it is the big headline spot and of course theres exceptions to the rule through scheduling.

Would Stevie wonder not be bigger than Muse in terms of Glasto? Muse played the saturday, and I think muse are better than Stevie but im usually outvoted on alot on matters such as that

To be fair cant ever see xx playing v, can see them headlining bestival.

Yeah you coukd be right, bowie played the sunday aswel if memory serves me right.

Like I said its only a suggestion.

[daniel.k]

And in 2007 The Who played Sunday. Maybe its down to who Eavis thinks is the bigger act whether they want to close or not. Looking back on past years, U2 opened and I would have said they were bigger than Coldplay and Beyonce (at the time)

Yeah Bowie played sunday in 2000

[daniel.k]

Why couldnt you see XX playing V? they surely arent too out of the demographic

[Muppetmark]

Mick said he didnt want to play on sunday because it always rains on sunday.

If the xx play V ever im there.

[daniel.k]

Hasnt rained today, bet Mick is kicking himself now no he wont care he wont remember being at glasto

If Mumfords play V then im here, so if XX are there two they have sold two tickets, only a few more to go

I thought the Phoenix would come out to close the show, and a fair bit ago I thought it would breathe fire, so I was close. Fire came out of its feet maybe??

Mumford killed that performance, I hated them before that set, they can play R&L now if they want, bugger off V

still praying they go to v myself... .

[daniel.k]

Im praying they go to V too. They were great and I know anyone who says otherwise is just in denial and doesnt want to admit that they were wrong. I thought the closing song was good, I wasnt expecting so many extra people

[Com Truise]

Hahaha I won't be bothered either way if they play R&L or not, but if it's between them and Paramore... I know who I'd rather have

yeah definitely, anyone who says it wasn;t good is just saying it because not liking mumfords is deemed 'cool' - especially on twitter it seems

[daniel.k]

I think if Mumfords do R&L then people will start to say its a bad booking because its cool not to like them as you just said. I want V to already have them lined up to play 2014 because after that performance their fee would have risen

[Com Truise]

for R&L something like..

Arctics

QOTSA

Mumford

Jack White

Metallica

30STM

would look incredibly strong, there's no way anyone could complain about Mumford (I'd complain about 30STM though)

Or for V

Mumford

Dizzee Rascal

Lady Gaga

P!nk?

Would look quite decent

[daniel.k]

I think for V, having Mumfords and Coldplay would be a big ticket seller but alot of people would complain about there not being a big pop/rock/indie band beginning with K. I would want Coldplay over Lady Gaga but I would have Gaga over Kasabian. I think if Mumfords dont headline next year it will be a bad choice unless Mumfords decide to take a year out

[Com Truise]

They won't take a year out, they love touring too much haha

[Muppetmark]

Hahaha I won't be bothered either way if they play R&L or not, but if it's between them and Paramore... I know who I'd rather have

after Skrillex? Be more like DJ Fresh won't it?

[Muppetmark]

hahahhaa i would cry but thankfully dj fresh aren't big enough. Though thinking along those lines itll probably be example, then knife party in 2015. Maybe avicii?

Have to say I was very sceptical of M&S pulling it off put they were truly sensational.

Me and my mates decided to sit high on a hill and watch it and overlooking Glasto as they closed the festival, well there was something very magical about it.

The Arctics were very good, was hammered for that one so in all honesty don't remember too much.

And the biggy, The Rolling Stones, well was certainly a you had to be there moment, 1 of the best things I have witnessed. I know people have said it wasn't good on the TV, but trust me its just not the same.

In summary V would be in safe hands if either M&S or the Arctics headlined.

[daniel.k]

I dont think V would have Arctics as I think R&L will get them,but I think V having Mumfords is a pretty good shout
