2014 Headliner predictions

[arcade fireman]

Most of us have seen Daft Punk? The band that have played three UK shows in the last seventeen years?

[eFestivals]

Elbow certainly IMO, awaiting Neil to prove me wrong won't headline Sunday.

why would you think I'd bother to do that?

It's one of three days. Anyone guessing a day stands a chance of being 33% right. Doing as you're doing you stand a chance of being 67% right.

But further to a post I made earlier today, I'm now more inclined to see them headlining Sunday than I am another day.

dont think they sold out wireless ... i remember i was watching muse at wembley and was thinking of switching to the 2nd date as i really wanted to see Daft Punk ... could still get tickets a week before

my friend who is massively into electronic music was disapointed by them though ... thought Justice were much more impressive live

also if you rule out Iron Maiden from ever headlining surely you must rule out Led Zeppelin from ever headlining as they are technically the same genre

[Matt42]

I doubt it. Elbow would and are the mainstream act.

I think close minded forum readers needs to redefine 'mainstream'

Elbow aren't mainstream, I bet when they are announced you will get alot of "Who the fuck are elbow?".

[Matt42]

I don't think oasis will ever reform lol.

I saw about 4 mainstream bands the whole weekend. My favourite bands were Skinny Lister, Penguin Cafe and Keith Allen. And yes, I STILL heard too much about Daft Punk. Not their music being played, just people that wouldn't shut up about them.

I listed Daft Punk as one of my favourite five bands this year - for not turning up. Just think how much worse that sort of drivel would have been if they had actually been there!

I'm going to have a crack.

Elbow, Fleetwood Mac and KOL - If it's not FM then Macca is my guess

[stardustjunkie]

Maiden just headlined Download, would Eavis really want to get them after they've headlined a rock/metal festival the previous year?

My mums boyfriend loves Maiden to the point where I am sick of it being blared out of the speakers at theirs, but he says they put on a great show and I probably know a little bit more about them than a should for various hush hush reasons so if they play they play but at the end of the day, Glastonbury is a very broad music festival with the only exception really being metal music and I can totally understand why.

Are you mad? I'm pretty sure Saddam Hussein came out of his cave singing One Day Like This.

When they played in 2011, quite a few people in our grup asked me who Elbow were. Surprised me, but it seems many people aren't really aware of them.

Thats one song. Most people don't even know that was Elbow...

Bet you think it's Run to the Hills

no, that was a cover of the whole of the first album.

btw, I've seen Maiden quite a few times. The memories fade, but I saw them at least one on each of their first three tours. They were a better band with Di'Anno; They've regressed, not progressed.
