2014 Headliner predictions

[CHRLY]

you're forgetting elbow

i agree that the 3 you have listed though could all be in contention to fill the other 2 slots.

[GlastoSimon]

Said it before, but I can't see Radiohead being in contention at all. Atoms For Peace are touring till November, and they'd have to get a new album out and be on the road in six months....

My prediction (which no doubt will be completely demolished after tomorrow's announcement) is Elbow - Fleetwood Mac - Stone Roses or Kasabian

[PDAD]

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

[PDAD]

Hahaha, forgot about them! I personally dont think them and Arcade Fire in the same year would work ether though

[Anarion]

Led Zeppelin was mentioned in The Guardian on monday. How strong a rumour is that?

Emily Eavis said something about how Led Zeppelin and Adele were at the top of her list of dream headliners. I may be completely wrong, but to me, that sounds like she doesn't have any of them lined up for next year but instead, is trying to increase her chances of getting them in the future.

[CHRLY]

Yeah i'm not convinced. Shame, i really want Arcade Fire to headline!

[PDAD]

Yeh same, saw them when they were touring the suburbs, Wake up would be truly epic at the pyramid

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

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

[CHRLY]

People who are saying Led Zep I seriously can't see it happening, i think Emily was just saying that they were a 'dream'. Would be surprised if they ever ended up doing it, only if they made some sort of comeback

In that one hour program with Emily just before the festival on 6music did she not say something along the lines of "they got to do it haven't they?" in regards to led zepp.

After missing out this year, excitement is rising for next year now... If its someone like led zep (who are mentioned pretty much every year it seems) it would be amazing but I really hope it stays out of the press until after ticket day. Same for seeing pink floyd reforming.

Tom waits at the festival would be great too, although I seem to recall reading on here a few years back its very unlikely.

On a separate note, why does everyone get so worked up about predictions and wish lists on these boards? Sure, everyone has their view on what Glastonbury means to them, and should be about, but why does this mean endless discussions about who is right or wrong for Glastonbury? (Glastos general connection with efests aside) It's not as though Emily and Michael are on this website every day saying "oh, some random person said online we should have cannibal corpse, lets do that!"

'The Rolling Stones will never play Glastonbury.' - Countless people before 2013.

If - massive if though - Led Zeppelin reformed next year, then I don't see why Glastonbury wouldn't be considered by 'em. Wasn't around the first time or for many of the reunions as a matter of fact, so how big do people reckon the crowd would be if they did do it?

Slightly smaller than the Stones, the same?

Biggest ever, unquestionably.

[pjadnoo]

simply because it is a pleasantly distracting way to pass the time until the next festival starts.

[GlastoSimon]

Wow, obviously realised that Led Zep were massive but I thought they'd be on a par with the Stones in terms of crowd. If they played, it'd be a serious health and safety issue then!

Can't see it happening though as much as I'd like to, I think they've already quashed rumours of a 2014 reunion in places. Also, Glastonbury probably wouldn't be #1 priority.

[howlin_pete]

They might have to find even more space in the pyramid field if Led Zepplin played.

[CHRLY]

Led Zep is a massive no, looks like Fleetwood Mac are on for the legends slot
