I'm quite happy with them 3 choices. I would see at least FM and DM but would like to see them all lol

Will these three headliners make it easier to get tickets (no crazy rolling stones fans who have to go)?

So that's 2 certain and one unsure?

no, that's three uncertains. None are actually signed and sealed as far as i'm aware.

I believe that all three have verbally agreed to do it. Whether they're still game when the time comes to sign contracts is another thing.

I'd be over the moon with all 3

Depeche Mode headlining pyramid? I would do anything to be there (shame my parents probably won't let me take time off school for this) :'(

Looking forward to the backlash from this. People are daft enough to not try and get tickets based on the headliners.

Personally, Elbow and Fleetwood Mac excite me.

[PDAD]

It would be such a disappointment if DM dropped out and someone like Kasabian were signed in. Kasabian/Fleetwood Mac/Elbow vs Depeche Mode/Fleetwood Mac/Elbow looks so poor in comparison!

Rumors IMO mean easier for me to get tickets next year. Personally think DM are other stage headliners but that's because i'm a nineties kid and know nothing about them.

[sadimmock]

Not a bad set at all. I utterly detest Fleetwood Mac, but I understand that lots of people disagree with me. Also suspect that 2014 may have especially strong headliners on some of the other stages.

On that note does anyone else think that Massive Attack have a shot at headlining the Other Stage one night? They appear to be a functional unit again and are doing a very ambitious show with Adam Curtis at the Manchester International Festival. Plus the response Portishead got can’t have done them any harm. Just a thought....

I'd go see all three. Hearing "Shake the Disease" sung by MLG from the Pyramid pit would be something.

[pedmills]

Let's be honest, every year the headliners are 'okay'. Or one is inspired and the other two unimaginative.

All this talk of "oh yeah it's got to be Led Zeppelin, Prince, Daft Punk or something has gone wrong" is all bollocks.

This is a very 2009-like set of headliners - doesn't really appeal to the kids, but who cares.

This about a good set of three as we are ever going to get.

I'm probably a younger 90s kid and love them. I'm in love with their latest album.

Ha, we are getting the annual "the lineup's shit!" thread a year before the festival.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

For me, I don't care about Elbow. I can take it or leave it with Meetwood Flac.

But Depeche Mode. Depeche mode! That's sweet music to my ears.

[Wooderson]

The virtual shock at T Blair's lack of interest in the 'Mode is palpable.

[mungo57]

I find it amazing people actually care about DM or fleetwood mac, in europe DM makes sense and dont people only care about fleetwood because of glee?
