2014 Headliner predictions

[PDAD]

you maybe right going by the in between fact but i have kinda agreed that's what they are. but if they are one of 3 lined up i'll be surprised.

I've thought Fleetwood Mac since it didn't happen this year, the only thing that stopped it was seemingly the fact of their own tour plans but they still wanted to do it. Mick and Stevie have said they want to, Eavis has not ducked away at from his liking for them.

but if that's two of them, i think there will still be a radio chart friendly header there, elbow pull in a massive amount of older fans. they'll need an arctics style booking and if arctics can return to play the friday, so can kol.

that's gives you young crowd, old crowd, split

[thewayiam]

Yeah, i think you could be right about FM and the subsequent need for a more current 3rd headliner. But KOL? I think they're a bit of a bland booking and it's not overly difficult to see them so would they really draw that much of a crowd? Then again, i dunno who else..

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

the end of this says it all? who else? exactly the issue that the rest have, who is current and can headline? it's AF, Kasabian or KOL really at the minute and we already know that IF it's FM them 1st two won't appear as the 3rd. and based on that, it might be a AF rule out

[PDAD]

Or it could be hundreds of hundreds of other acts that we don't know about that they've considered.

[thewayiam]

Haha exactly. Before we get too carried away with FM, KOL and Elbow being nailed on, let's just wait until tomorrow

hey, no one is nailing them on. just suggesting relevant reasons for them

[greenArmy12]

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?

[CHRLY]

My first post here but has anyone considered Biffy Clyro, doing R&L this year?

If Elbow did play, i think having Biffy and Elbow both in one year would be awfully weak. As much as i think they'd smash it.

[PDAD]

Sorry have i missed something, Are elbow no a strong rumour?

[PDAD]

Ahh well I suppose it would be quite weak to have them both, I saw Elbow in 2011 and i enjoyed them but I would have Biffy over them anyday

[arcade fireman]

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

[CHRLY]

How about Muse? touring their album now, went to see them in manchester and they were great

Headlined in 2010. Is 4 years too short a gap? I think so, personally. You may disagree.

[music-fan4]

if elbow headline, arcade fire won't as well, having two bands that are not particularly well known headline (say what you will but I reckon more than half of my facebook friends have no idea who elbow and arcade fire are, yet all of them know the stones, mumford, arctics, u2, beyonce, coldplay etc.) is unlikely.

Hence,

Elbow

Fleetwood Mac

Daft Punk/Gaga/Rihanna/JT (someone very radio 1 and pop. with mainstream)

I also think a jay-z and/or kanye headline slot is not out of the equation

[PDAD]

I thought this but then remembered that Coldplay did 2002 then 2005

True. It's not unheard of but on the same level, it's not normal for a gap to be that small. I'd consider it unlikely but i guess it can't be completely ruled out.

[CHRLY]

It's different as between those years, Coldplay dramatically rose in stature. Muse haven't, they've remained at the same level.

[PDAD]

Yeh, I do think that there's something about Coldplay that Eavis likes aswell.

My dream would be three out of:

Arcade Fire

Muse

Radiohead

Stone Roses

I think it is unlikely that Msue and Radiohead would play together and, as mentioned, Muse only headlined 4 years ago. Also, I can see there being a pop/charts act in there somewhere.

So my actual prediction would be:

Arcade Fire (very popular at the moment with a new album out this or next year)

Fletwood Mac (alot of talk about them and they are Legends)

Kanye West (Jay-z smashed it in 2008 and Kanye has an album out soon)

[Jackmypie]

Anyone else noticed Arcade Fire have gone up to 16/1 on william hill? Were previously 25/1.

This is looking out to be a good bet
