Who can live up to QOTSA 2011?

[Simesy]

Looked long & hard - Folk a plenty but struggling to find the Rock

HELP please?

[Anderson19]

Such a good set! One of the performances of the weekend! Sounded so good.

[monkey1989]

Smashing pumpkins I would imagine your best bet

[Spindles]

Probably Pumpkins. Not going to be close, but has a strong chance of being epic in other ways.

QOTSA in '11 was something a bit special for glastonbury. Proper rock in a headline slot, hopefully not a one off. It was the perfect end to our festival, my son and I proper loved those lasers.

Hives , enter shikari and Zac brown band ( zbb do great enter sandman and devil came to Georgia covers as well as own there stuff, they are a pretty big deal in the us)

Smashing Pumpkins is gonna be the only thing this year that can even slightly be compared to QOTSA in 2011. shame it's not a headline slot, but at sunset it will be just as fantastic

[Spindles]

I'd forgotten the Hives. To be fair. They DO kick ass, any time of the day.

I'm a big fan of Enter shikari, but they are very much a marmite band for people, I have found.

ALways Pumpkins.

on a smaller scale there are some great rock bands lower down, Deap Vally, Savages, the Bots etc

really pumpkins should be headlining..if xx need the darkness they should have been on west holts or john peel and swap their headliner to sub other

[neil999]

as much as we on this forum don't want to believe it, The xx are absolutely massive and will pull a headliner sized crowd. i hate to admit it but i don't think the Pumpkins could pull the same crowd that The xx could. The xx would be dangerous in a tent

[FloorFiller]

yeah regardless of them probably not being able to pull the same crowd as they used to / as The xx, them subbing seems very bizarre. times change and all that but the Pumpkins just seem like such a legendary band to me that subbing the second stage of a festival is just odd

Queens of the Stone Age 2013 (Secret Set)

[Vieuphoria]

Dinosaur Jr. are an astounding live act, they really do sound so unbelievably beautiful.

[FloorFiller]

i think i'm more excited for Smashing Pumpkins and Dinosaur Jr than anything else. though i've somewhat grown out of the heavier side of music (well... i listen to it a lot less than i used to), i think seeing those two, at Glastonbury, will be absolutely magical

i dunno man, i saw them for a bit at dour festival last year and they didn't grip me enough to stay that long - then again it was mid afternoon, fucking rainy and miserable, on a mainstage and i was in a phase in my life where i was pretty much borderline psychotic and therefore wasn't much of a critic haha, but still didn't seem particularly thrilling as a live act, though i got lots of love for them on record.
