2014 Headliner predictions

[Zoo Music Girl]

Obviously they'd be subbing for Arcade Fire.

Also have you heard the new song? Fucking brilliant, and about 5 times the length of your average Pixies song. Sound like a completely new band, over the moon that they've rejuvenated and not just rehashed old stuff without Kim.

If (and it's a very very very big if) Led Zep were to be a strong rumour / possibility for 2014 then ticket sales day could be interesting.

It is generally accepted - reference Guiness Book of World Records no less - that there were 20 million applications for their O2 Reunion gig back in 2007.

I know that the Glastonbury pre-registration system would probably curtail that number somewhat but if the rumours strengthened we could reasonably expect a noticeable proportion of those same peeps to consider applying.

To put it into further context we were fortunate in getting tickets for the O2 gig. Having gone through the ticket collection process at the O2 we then camped outside the arena (with 100's of others) for the best spots inside (standing tickets). There were peeps from all over the world in that Q with us. Some had spent £1000s to ensure they were there. Americans, Australians, New Zealand, Japan, ..... We were next to someone in the Q who had flown in from some pacific island somewhere. What's more a lot of these people had paid for travel / accommodation twice because the original date was cancelled when Jimmy P injured his finger.

Im convinced The Stone Roses will headline 2014 - 14/1 for me are massive odds,

Ive just put a little £10er on it. Hopefully ill be getting a nice little pre Glastonbury 2014 windfall

Yeah, the start where you just here the electronic bit I was thinking 'holy crap I'm not gonna like this' but it was great! Glad they kept the classic Pixies' droning guitars in the new sound too so it's different but still unmistakably them.

Also as much as we all love Kim; they seem to have done a brilliant job replacing her. Can't go wrong with a female bassist called Kim.

Some of these lineups are lackin the heavier bands. I really hop that next year does feature a dollup of alt rock metal. I think it about time.

[Big Vern]

I thought this website had been sold to a company?

[greenArmy12]

does anyone else think that if the headliners are released/leaked then it could make Tday far far worse?

I quite like the surprise, the headliners don't make or break the festival but it would be nice to think that people who want to go to Glastonbury for everything the festival is stand a chance of getting tickets first time round as opposed those people who go for one headliner only.

[sinhala]

I don't want to know the headliners until next June.

I want the people who buy tickets in October & April to be fans of Glastonbury and NOT Band A or Band B etc ....

[mrtourette]

I dunno, is it better to have people specifically interested in the music or people just interested in saying they've been to Glastonbury and getting fucked up on ket?

[Kizzie]

He probably is eventually. Think he's biding his time and/or deciding whether it's worth doing yet.

metal at glastonbury would flop like a pancake.

It takes alot to get the crowd to jump to a regular act, let alone a metal act because metal with a silent still crowd always fails.

I just don't see all this "metal makes evert festival better attitude", not everyone fucking likes metal. If you want metal go to download it doesn't have a place at many other fests just accept it.

It's like me posting on downloads forums, 'THIS FESTIVAL NEEDS MORE DUBSTEP, EVERYONE LOVES DUBSTEP'.

One question can't remember...... Were the headliners for 2013 announced before T Day? I know 2011 was pretty much a cert with U2 and Bono's glass back from the year before!!

[When Jokers Attack]

I want Pearl Jam but it will never happen.

My guess is...

Kasabian

Fleetwood Mac

Lady Gaga
