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.

seeing them this saturday, avoided seeing the tv footage so it would all be a surprise, glad to hear they were good

I thought (from TV) Arctics were the best headliner. Alex Turner was on great form - Jo Wiley kept saying he seemed to be channelling Elvis - but did anyone else see the resemblence to a young Joe Strummer?

I was brought up with the Stones and would've seen them 100% although I have to say I would've probably split my time with Public Enemy.

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

They were good but they weren't as good as they should have been IMO.

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

Arctics show at Glasto kinda had a R&L feel all over it. Mumford is a tough one - it's them or Kasabian.

i actually think after all this album possible at number one again that v will chuck everything into it and kinda agree with someone the other day with reading having one of glasto but not both.

But i guess thats if arctics actually do reading

you may be right mate. i did think they would do reading, i still don't rule kasabian out though, they wouldn't be the 1st band to return after only 3 years, both the killers and KOL were. would they return to the likes of 07, 08, 09, 10 and even 12 in some aspects? when you look at it, V headers since 2007 at least have tended to be rock bands except for one in 11 and 13. would they go for Kasabian (if glasto don't offer) - exclusive and KOL (T sharer and maybe Wireless too?)

dont think KOL will do T next year.

Kasabian bombed at HRC in terms of ticket sales. Unless their new album is great i can see them taking a year off festivals.

Coldplay and Mumfords for Vis what I think. If its them I may even go

I hope your right as I guessed the same, but I dont think V would go for them both I think it would be one of them and a Kasabian or Killers type band but I hope im wrong

Go into one of the 2014 threads in the glasto forum and say that. I wouldnt watch them if they headlined I would find somewhere else to go, but they are seen to be strong enough to headline by a mile. Didnt they sub Glasto last time and performed well, having an album out soon apparently and are close to the Eavii

i don't go into the glasto forums and say anything, they're nutters

i'd be surprised if elbow did headline glasto but i guess it's not that farfetched, i doubt they would headline v though, i reckon most teenage v fest goers hate them/havent heard of them. they're my nan's favourite band lol and if it was down to her to choose the lineup you'd have hall & oates, take that, phil collins, elbow and adam lambert ;)

Yeah I get the impression they are very into 'proper music' :P

I think Elbow would headline Glasto but V wouldnt want to go for them as now they are changing their demographic to be alot more pop which suits me :D I think for V they would either go Mumfords and a heavier band, or Mumfords and a solo act but I cant see it being Coldplay and mumfords (as much as I would love that)

Elbow are rumored to be at Glasto, does V usually share a headliner with Glasto? Doubt V would get Elbow

Not as much as Glasto share with T. Glasto and V haven't shared since 08 I don't think and then random odd years before that.

Glasto and T, defo since T has been 3 days don;t failed to share - in 07 and 11 there was even two although 1 was subbing at T and was due to at Glasto too.

Coldplay do what they want, they don't need festivals like V. They won't accept.

They'll have their album out next year which makes it less likely, then the 2 years after they'll have a world tour.

    • Orbital opening the Other stage is a bold choice!
    • Great start for them 
    • Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...
    • I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.
    • After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare
