Q Magazine - "Kasabian New Album in June so Glasto..."

The Vaccines will never, ever headline Glastonbury. They've got about as big as they'll ever get now, their demise is upon us.

I wouldn't be surprised if they came back and subbed most of the big festivals next year. Although interestingly, the more likely to top the bill is Two Door Cinema Club based on the size of their crowd at the O2 (almost sell out) compared to The Vaccines who only sold out the lower tier. Saying this, I probably agree and don't see either topping the Pyramid, but maybe the Other Stage.

From acts which came out last year I think Disclosure could make the step up in the next couple of albums, certainly have enough to be able to headline the Other Stage after their next album, and I can only see them getting bigger.

Yeah but you made it seem like someone was forcing you to see them!

I find people complaining about festival lineups so pointless, if you don't like a headliner, don't go see them. If you don't like a lineup, don't go. Some people do love the vaccines and would love to see them! They impressed me in 2013, and i'd be open to (a few more albums down the line) to a headline set. However they'd have to bring out something rather big.

[Matt42]

I wasn't complaining about a whole festival line up....?

I purely expressed my distaste for the band and said I don't know what I'd do if they headlined Glastonbury meaning that it would worry me as I've no idea how people like them..... (what I wrote but slightly clearer maybe) I think you've read the first line of my post and just argued with that.

Glad you like them though, I'm sure there's a lot of bands I like that you don't and it would worry you if one of them headlined Glastonbury.

I also agree with your point that people hating one headliner and choosing not to go or moaning about it when there's so much else to do is silly. But that is not what I meant

Some bands are just "of their time" I guess.

For example the killers. They captured peoples imagination with their music for whatever reason. I saw the killers play the tent in 2004 and it was brilliant. I thought their first album was ace. There is no way I would ever play it now though, and each album since has tried and failed to repeat that success. There is no longevity in their music, the first album sounds very dated now.

Whereas I think the likes of radiohead have evolved as time's gone by and so have repeat value as headliner.

If the killers headlined now, the best received songs would be those from their first album. Radiohead could play now and not do any songs they played in 1997 and it would still be well received.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It would stand to reason that an album that was ace in 2004 should still be ace 10 years later.

For it to no longer be ace suggests that it never was in the first place.

[suzie sue]

It is ace and I think the killers have better tunes than radio head overall

[Matt42]

No no they aren't headliners yet.

Another 2 albums with the sucess of settle and they are headliners.

Blah blah blah

[russycarps]

But The Killers were always shit. And you liked them.

2004 killers in the tent was brilliant.

1994 oasis on the pyramid was brilliant.

I wouldn't dream of listening to either band now

[suzie sue]

Ok I'm just a fan of 80s indie which killers are rooted in, radio head more proggy ad lib experimental stuff not my bag

[Yesiamaduck]

What does it mean??? Lol

I remember seeing The Killers supporting Stellastar at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth a number of years back. I'd never heard of them before, they were brilliant. Still not as good as Stellastar (then or now!) but you could tell they were on the up.

i don't wanna read into things too much..

but the smiths are on their 30th anniversery (on the front of q)

morrissey or johnny marr have no tour dates this year ... could be a potential reform on the cards?

I'd imagine Moz will be back touring by next summer as well, possible Bestival headliner...

The Smiths reunion rumour has never been deader. Looking forward to the albums though and, with a bit of luck. a Morrissey tour if he's up to it.

[arcade fireman]

The Smiths reunion will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever happen.
