2014 Headliner predictions


Guest Matt87

Recommended Posts

I think the XX thing was a one-off. TSP were true headliners on the Sunday this year (you'd imagine anyway), but the XX wanted to play in the dark, and also it reduced the crowd movement a fair bit.

Not so much a prediction, more a genuine, heartfelt hope. Would be the best headliner ever in my humble opinion. She Deserves it, just to sing X-Factor alone. The voice ain't what it used to be, but it still has the power to inspire and humble.

Fair comments. I'd like to see the there but I'm not going to be devastated when they're not announced :P

How about Biffy? Perhaps not as headliners but I could see them being pretty successful headlining the Other stage opposite a more pop/rap act on the Pyramid?

I agree with you mate, last time I said about Biffy headlining next time they play though I got shot down. Kasabian is a strange one - it's almost like they are happy to play wherever Glasto want them, which for them is fairplay I guess, it's just whether or not Eavis takes up their it'll only take a phone call.

But when are Kasabian due a new album out?, I reckon if they don't head it off the back of that, they won't and yeah Biffy probably need another mainstream album and I can see Glasto booking them off the back of that. We could it being like one one year and the other the following.

My predictions and reasons for choice

Pink Floyd - Due to a cancellation back in 1971

Boomtown Rats - Never done Glasto

The Blockheads - reformed but without Ian Dury

Flying Pickets - Touring next year in May

Other Possible's

The Police

Simon & Garfuncle

The Monkees

Don't think Arcade Fire or Manic Street Preachers. due to being there before

Was announced earlier this year that 3 bands had been booked and none of the 3 bands had ever done a gig at Glastonbury before

Kasabian are my favourite band, so I hope they do headline!

But one thing I can tell you for sure, they won't have any slot other than headline. They turn down any slot they are offered in the UK unless they are headlining (I know they didn't headline Hackney Weekend- That was odd), because they believe they need to keep new music coming through at the top, and not have all reformed bands headlining all the time... They even turned down supporting The Stone Roses at Heaton Park!

In regards to their album, it'll be out in March :)

    • So, that Survation poll...Reform have replaced the Tories as the main right party, and Restore are where Reform used to be as the fringe extreme right party gaining support. Grim. What happened to one nation liberal tories?
