Lineup 2015


Recommended Posts

Yes, and I've also read the Glastonbury forum all year, in which he has said (since that article) what I've been saying. He knows a conversation was had about them headlining, but later information suggested that was likely to only be the case if other things fell through.

I think we both know that Efests wouldn't publish an article on the main site not only saying that they believed they were headlining, but that this was unlikely to change, unless they were certain this was the case at the time.

He has since said that they have been considered as a potential replacement, but the fact that they've gone from being "believed to headline and unlikely to change", to "replacement headliner" to "playing the same slot they have done previously" gives you an idea to what the festival thinks of them.

Of course, it depends on to how much faith you put in efests and their knowledge, but considering the certainty of that article posted, and the certainty they were set to headline, and that was unlikely to change, i find it hard to disbelieve it.

Elbow will probably do an album tour over next year, doubt they will play & won't headline.

Mumfords will get the push after doing a decent job at Glastonbury.

The Vaccines subbing them.

Edit: there will need to have a big current band as the other headliner like Coldplay but not them

Vaccines will probably headline before Mumfords. Vaccines are jjust about ready when they release a new album, whereas Mumfords are having a long time off and would have to start work soon to have an album out ready to tour next summer. Probably won't play another show until 2016, and I wouldn't be surprised if their appeal has dropped drastically because of this whole folk thing blowing over. IOW will probably book them next.

I think there are bands keeping their seat warm- the likes of Bombay, Two Door, Kodaline, Ed Sheeran, even Jake Bugg remaining popular will help out Mumford when they come back I would have thought.

They do need to hurry up though if they want to headline as I do think their time will come and go quite quickly.

Well Mumfords are proper headliners now so I think they could get another new headliner in the same year with them.

Though nother thing I'd say would be that as they've grown, Mumfords have probably shifted outside of what R+L would want nowadays; like Coldplay, Keane, and acts like that played earlier on in their careers but didn't come back when they were big. That and them going out of style would just be my opinion though really.

I thought the band themselves were bitching about how the crowd didn't like them at Glasto tho.

Yeah, wasn't that at the Olympic park gig they did like a week later? They should be grateful they were allowed to fucking headline Glasto. What a bunch of Kanye's.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
