2014 Headliner predictions

[CaledonianGonzo]

Saw beady eye at Heaton park with the roses and they were excellent. This is on the back of me hating oasis when they were about.

[Wooderson]

I'm all for encouraging broad debate on here, but this is really something else.

[russycarps]

I'm far from their target market, but I thought they were almost parodically bad at Heaton Park.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I walked through the other stage when they were playing this year. I had to go immediately to the medical centre to have my ears syringed.

Appalling, dreadful stuff.

To be fair, I was absolutely buzzing from the wailers, along with various other items, but were better than I expected

wonder where all this Oasis stuff is coming from. i really didn't think they were even a slight possibility. they only split four years ago! give them some time to be missed (if that's even a possibility). gathered with the fact that their last Glastonbury headline slot is remembered more for Liam's ridiculous white coat than the performance itself

i'd say it's coming from the bookies.

There's a lot of Oasis fans - and they'd be the ones making the bets. And the bookies odds don't show them as very likely in the bookies eyes, but good enough odds to sucker some mug Oasis fans.

If a bookie is offering anything better than double then you KNOW that they don't think there's a chance in hell.

Saw Oasis at Main Road 95, GMEX 97, The Reebok 2000, The Etihad 2004 & Heaton Park in 2009. The first 3 of those are amazing gigs. The last one was a great nostalgia trip, but the last time I'd ever see the gallaghers together.

If liam was on I wouldnt watch him. His voice has been shot since 2001 ish and now it is a complete mess.

Noel however I saw at manchester apollo promoting the high flying birds album and was superb.

if he did a slot on a sunday afternoon, playing the oasis stuff and his own, it would be a highlight of the festival. I think he would feel "sunday legend" is beneath him though.

Definitely maybe is a classic album: Rock n roll star, supersonic and Cigarettes and Alcohol are 3 amazing tunes. C+A is a great piece of social commentary. Slide Away wasn't even a single.

Whats the story is a classic, but after that it was very average, with the odd bit of quality mixed in with the average a guff stuff.

They were the supposed 'Fourth' headliner a few years back (Regardless of what Neil says I remember a few blatant hint after it didn't come off it was them - also that they didn't play because they didn't think the other bands booked would bring in the right crowd for them)So the Eavii seem to think they are of the right size too.

You're 100% wrong.

first that bowie comment and now this, you've caused chaos with your first 13 posts

You've told me that loads of times!

Either I have created all of that stuff in my head or you said it and later deleted the thread haha

in your head.

(I've never revealed who the 4th was on here)

But is does seem that DM are likely this year, no?

I honestly don't know. I know convos were had about it and a loose agreement was made. Whether that comes to fruition is another thing, and i've already had some bits and pieces which suggests it's not happening.

Having said that, Michael's comment about "the biggest bands" certainly puts them a decent possibility in my mind. While they might not have got as big in the UK as they did in much of the rest of the world, they can't really be excluded as not fitting those words of Michael's.

Are people seriously lobbying for Oasis over Depeche Mode?

[The 38 year old virgin]

I thought they were dogpiss. Chose to stand in that horrible bar queue instead.

[plaskins]

Everbody calm down. Oasis WILL NOT be playing.

Just my opinion, but I would put a fair amount of money on them not to play.

I agree with Neil, there isn't much to base this rumour on, other than fan speculation, and if you believe articles like this then you is a mug

Oasis may play. Liam may need the cash to pay for his divorce and the kid he has after the splash and dash with that journo bird.

Gone for a mixture of realism and hope for headliners of the Pyramid/Other/WestHolts

Pyramid - Arcade Fire -- Daft Punk -- Fleetwood Mac

Other - Moby -- Pixies -- Sigur Ros

WestHolts - Ice Cub -- M.I.A -- Earth, Wind & Fire

Rushed off the top of my head like but wouldn't mind something like that at all, maybe a bit too much wishful thinking

[theDandy]

Ice Cube of course

Jeez - FM and SR clash would be horrendous for me.

If he needs cash surely an exclusive get together with a ticket price of say £100 at somewhere like Knebworth for 300,000 would pay the bills better than Glastonbury?

My brother got back yesterday from seeing fleetwood mac in Amsterdam. He's a massive Rolling Stones fan but he said they were better than the stones at Glastonbury and if they are confirmed they will go down a storm
