Lineup 2015

[dentalplan]

I hope arcade fire are in the mix next year, doubt they will be but it will make the premise abit less depressive. Already seems like a year where we are scraping the barrel.

I think Hyde Park is their last UK Reflektor show. Babyquack may be able to verify that.

hehe, yep it is. The band want to come back at some point to do some larger Scottish/northern shows and it's thought that winter may be a time to do it but as of the start of this month, nothing had been done to work this out in any capacity.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah, think I saw an advert on the tube the other day that said it was their last UK show of the year

[VCK]

N.W.A won't reform because Eazy-E is bloody dead.

Wu-Tang still continued without ODB. But yeah, you're probably right. Even if he was always inferior to Cube and Ren as a rapper. But anyway...

[theshapeofpunktocome123]

SOAD should ! (but probably wont ...)

[Gucci Piggy]

So who would we lineup as likely then? I bet the list is around the same size as we had last year

Literally anyone could be available next year, we don't know at all.

Blink back with a new album.

[thetime]

fun fact, I know someone from the UK who's never heard of Kasabian

I don't know why I thought i'd include it but anything to not discuss terrible prediction lineups.

Lucky bastard.

[Muppetmark]

Arcade fire need to be booked off the back of this

[Yellow_Fellow]

... that doesn't make sense

[the wonderwhy]

... that doesn't make sense

Well it sorta does because this set is very good (bar the lack of Neon Bible of course...)

But then I think we all knew that would be the case anyway

But like. They're already headliners here. This set hasn't changed anything - they're proven at Reading. It's hardly off the back of it, rebooking them wouldn't be a response... it's hard to explain.

[justanothername]

Please book Arcade Fire FR for R&L please

The set is great but the only problem was they teased My Body is a Cage and not playing the full thing but apart from that it's great!

Err, I think he was just saying he wants them to headline, rather than trying to justify their size...

[mrtourette]

Yellow is right, why would R&L book them 'off the back' of their Glasto performance? If anything it's the other way around.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Err, I think he was just saying he wants them to headline, rather than trying to justify their size...

No no you've misunderstood. It's hard to explain. If Glasto hadn't even happened they'd still be a booking option for next year, see.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Its the reading way to book a glastonbury headliner of this year for next year.

Its either arcade fire or metallica, pick your poison

[the wonderwhy]

I think you're reading too much into it, it's just like me going 'Oh, I like the new Arctic Monkeys album, I hope they headline Reading next year'

[mattgimmeshelter]

To be fair, if the arctics didn't get so much hype from glasto I imagine reading wouldn't have jumped as quickly to book them.

Arcade Fire are cracking but I doubt they'l be back next year

lucky has already alluded that download aren't after metallica next year - which may point to reading being in the frame. Or no UK festival at all, never know.

[Tobieski]

Hopefully the latter

[mattgimmeshelter]

Hopefully the latter

Could you imagine Metallica making no UK appearance next year?

[lightning1000]

Could you imagine Metallica making no UK appearance next year?

I can imagine them not doing any festivals and just doing a large arena tour for a change off the back of a new album. The only fest I could see them doing is reading, but I'd say it's still pretty unlikely

It would seem very excessive, as they were only drafted in for glastonbury as they were in the area at the time and hadn't done it before. No special reason they were booked at all

Them being at reading next year would really feel like they were over doing it.

I'd say Metallica's booking is the most special reason out of all three of this years headliners though; they've always wanted to do it, first heavy rock band to play and they're one of the biggest british bands of all time.

yes but if that's the reason why, then there's no reason for any other festival to book them off that performance
