2014 Headliner predictions


Guest Matt87

Recommended Posts

it's a very VERY slow news day anytime any news-based publication writes a story off the back of a betting company's press release which is designed only to attract mug punters. I've gotta say that, even so, I'm amazed that something like that got thru NME's editorial process.

*SURELY* they've got someone with half a brain and a smidgen of proper journo skills working there? Apparently not tho.

Haha no seriously it's nothing to do with status or etc.

Glastonbury doesn't have metal headliners, it never has... why would it just change now when it has a good supply of headliners that suit it already.

it's amusing as Foo's were top of the 1st one for act to headline sunday lol and so was kasabian.

i would say though if anyone has £20 going spare to put it on FM, you know they've no clue when lilly is 20/1, if it was to play 3rd/4th down i'd do it lol

while it can do, it's very much the darker side of light by the time the sub starts usually. I only remember The Black Keys being really too light for them to start but I don't imagine it will be them.

Has anyone while we're on this subject seen Pendulum announced a date with Pro Green and Mista Jam somewhere?

Edit: Dj Set at Leeds control

hmmm. maybe. I think they'll hit it hardish in 15 with sub equivalent slots where they can. I'm sure R&L will give them it, hell don't even bank on them not bigging it up and going headline but I think the band will get offered Glasto other stage or sub again and take it comfortable.

I'd imagine Bestival will go for them to headline though.

I still say they'll sub The Prodigy in 2015 at R&L. They have so many options for next year but IOW would do well to secure them, DM and Blur.

But also, a lot of the problems occur between sets when people are moving out and others are moving in. If you had Pendulum and Prodigy as a top two, the fan bases would be similar and the people on the main stage would generally be people seeing both, meaning there is less trouble between sets...

I'm inclined to go for Elbow, FATM and Plan B as subs. Noel if he's around is a contender. Plan B looks to be coming back with new material - he'd take a sub spot on return.

I would potentially go for Example as 3rd Pyramid and maybe Jessie J in the same spot. I think there is an outside chance of Jake Bugg coming back too and playing this slot - he had a huge crowd this year.

Looking at something like:

Depeche Mode

Elbow

Example

Jack White

Fleetwood Mac

FATM

Jessie J

Basement Jaxx

The Stone Roses (There might be something in that Eavis saying defo not this year, maybe already has them on a yes with a new album next year and it's perfect for that slot. I thought year after was more chance but if it's out by next year then I don't see why not.

Plan B

Jake Bugg

Bryan Ferry

Pixies

I think Foals could go where Jake Bugg is if he isn't back.

Not quite a headliner but I will stick my head out and guess Tool for Other Stage.

New album out next year (early according to their drummer, Danny Carey in a widely circulated interview in June I can provide links for if needs be) and I chat to the webmaster of the toolshed fan forum from time to time on their site.... He seems to reckon so too (new album that is).

If they get it out by April/May time I reckon they will be a good shout for the new 'alternative' band they seem to be booking now for the Sunday.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

(They are my favourite band and I am suffering from withdrawal.... Been 7 years since last album and me seeing them 6 times on the tour that followed lol)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
