2014 Headliner predictions

[jimmyt]

What about the who in 07?

I can only assume you are mental and or blind.

Sure I read ( probably on here ) that Mr E has sussed that if you look 2-3 years down the line there will be no-one left / coming through to live up to the standard of headliner we all expect. Coming off the back of the Stones and a year that is being hailed as a great success, good weather etc, Maybe 2014 is going to be the time to take the attention away from the headliners ( a gamble ) and just make it all about the whole festival. Elbow, Florence, Biffy Clyro would let everyone down gently and instead rely on the usual strong undercard plus everything else the festival has to offer. Maybe they think that they can still sell out without " big " headliners on the Pyramid. IF..... they don`t see a conveyor belt of massive acts waiting to headline over the coming years then now is maybe as good a time as any for a slight change in priority. The Stones overshadowing everything else that happened this year may be a fitting end to the importance of the 3 Pyramid headline slots.

Could also take a bit of heat out of T day which is getting a bit ridiculous.

Elbow, Fleetwood Mac, Stone Roses

Just a prediction, not a want.

no its just that you dont need to suggest 3 if those 3 dont include elbow

[neil999]

i reckon stones performance and gains they have got from it would make fleetwood mac more likely

Depeche Mode and Fleetwood Mac unveiled on Twitter:

Elbow, fleetwood mac and depeche mode, interesting set of headliners. And 3 that have never headlined before. Wouldn't see any of them unless there was nothing against fleetwood mac and depeche mode that i liked but all 3 strike me as glasto headliners

[PDAD]

Interesting. Fleetwood Mac was quite expected but Depeche Mode is a great surprise.

[graham1030]

Wow depeche mode! Didn't see that one coming. Happy with them 3 names if it actually happened

[brettredmayne]

Depeche mode, really? ?? Hardly an inspiring choice

[rischbrit]

It says 'on the cards' so I'm guessing not 100% confirmed but I'm happy with that!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Shit. Good work Eavis if it comes off. Three very interesting headliners. I'm not a massive Depeche Mode fan, and I probably wouldn't see Elbow, but all three look interesting, better than the KKK usuals (Kasabian, Killers, Kings Of Leon).

[kh24]

Well I think they will suit the pyramid. Might also give opportunity for some slightly more risky/daring headline choices for the Other Stage or Park too.

[fightoffyour]

who the fuck are depeche mode?

[PDAD]

None of the 3 i'm ecstatic about. I won;t see Elbow and probably not Fleetwood Mac either. But unless something better is on, Depeche Mode would be a great show on the Pyramid.

[brettredmayne]

So that's 2 certain and one unsure?

[PDAD]

who the fuck are depeche mode?

[fightoffyour]

They covered that Saturdays song.
