Mumford and Sons

[JoBalls]

That was me... save them for next year when the new album is done

[Sketchead]

yeah ignoring my previous comment, let's just have it be Kanye alright? that'd be just darling

[MrHew]

Can we have James please? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

[justperfect]

Is anyone actually upset that Mumford might not be playing? Doesn't look like it. They must be one of the most unpopular headliners ever.

[Janaka]

Give it to the chemical brothers

[hawkzred]

As much as I love the Chems it would not work right now. Their show needs a revamp (as good as it is), although can't wait for the next album.

Wouldn't argue with Chemical Brothers or Stone Roses.

Roses may be more likely after 1995, and the chance to appear 'heroes', increase the PR etc.

Alternatively, kick Arctic Monkeys off too and officially re-name the festival GlaSTONESbury, in which every night the Rolling Stones headline.

I am, one of the bands I'm most excited for, will be gutted if they pull out! This forum seems like a vocal minority thing, I'm sure they'll still have a great crowd.

(and no I'm not a posh tory farmer boy who wears tweed and all that, just a normal guy who happens to like M&S)

[Spindles]

I'd be really pleased if they make it. I've really enjoyed both albums and don't know or care about who they are or where they are from, only the music they make.

I'm still enjoying reading the rampant speculation however and REALLY hope that if they do pull out it is someone that Russy hates even more. Florence isn't busy, is she?

[davefrompompey]

I agree. The crowd for them would be vast

[sinhala]

I don't care one way or the other as I'm going to see The Beat and then Bobby Womack and then Mundo Jazz.

[DeclarationOfWar]

Will be a bit gutted if they pull out, I'm probably one of very few who was looking forward to see them play!

Hope Ted gets well soon!

We're still waiting on official stage times, I wouldn't be surprised to see stage times and confirmation of a pull out or that they are definitely able to play being made at the same time.

I've never believed the theory that Mumford will get the most massively enormous crowd, they're huge in the actual world, but that's because they've tapped a market that doesn't buy music, and ergo doesn't go to Glastonbury. I have no faith at all in humanity as a species, but I do have faith in Glastonbury goers, however this faith may be shown to be massively misplaced a couple of weeks on Sunday... when Mumford and Sons play, because they're not pulling out.

Killers are playing Wembley the weekend before and IOW this weekend so are 'ready' - not sure if they have another booking though !

[davefrompompey]

yeah this is pretty much what i believe. they'll have a massive crowd, no doubt about it. aren't gonna be any gaping holes in the crowd, anyway. but it's not gonna touch the size of the Stones crowd like a lot of people on here seem to believe. Mumfords are massive, but as you said, mostly to an audience who don't particularly care about music - they just hear something on the radio and buy the record. i think the majority of Glastonbury goers really do love music - you'd have to to bother going through the stresses of ticket day, which other fests don't have to the same extent. at T In The Park there crowd will be absolutely ridiculous. at Glastonbury, big, but not much above a usual headliner

[Zoo Music Girl]

You guessed my implication! :-D I just didn't know times!

[Guest]

I get why, but I think you overestimate, along with a lot of people here, the average Glastonbury attendee. It doesn't take a lot to decide you want to go and then sit at a computer for an hour in October.
