Eavis' Wishlist

[StonedProphet]

Just wondering what people know about who is on the Eavis family's wishlist /favourites. I know Emily Eavis wants Adele and Led Zeppelin.

[Buff124]

At one time or another in the past 20 years, ME has allegedly been unsuccessful in getting these acts as headliners

The Stone Roses

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Zeppelin

Floyd

Madonna

He's a persistent bugger, so reckon they are all still on his radar to a degree (some less than others)?

[Matt42]

Adele

Led Zeppelin

Prince

The Stone Roses

Pink Floyd

The Eagles

Madonna

Dolly Parton

[stardustjunkie]

I know Emily said she'd want Bowie again one day as he was the best headliner they have ever had (this was before the Stones played as I'm guessing they have topped the list now ).

This isn't true. They really dislike the Chillis apparently.

Just as well I put 'allegedly' . Phew !

However the BBC seems to think they were down to headline in 93.

'Six main stage headline acts have pulled out in the festival's history - The Kinks (1970), Red Hot Chili Peppers (1993), The Stone Roses (1995) Stevie Winwood (1997), Kylie Minogue (2005) and U2 (2010).'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23048669

Four of these acts have subsequently appeared. Ray Davies in 2010 ; Steve Winwood in 2013; Kylie made an appearance with Scissor Sisters in 2011, and U2 headlined the same year. ME doesn't give the impression of closing the door on people.

For what its worth , I don't think they're Pyramid headline material these days, but not too shabby judging by last year's headline set at Coachella

I think RHCP could only headline, an enormous back catalogue of hits, very absolute radio now but were a great band back in the 90s. Mothers milk, BSSM and californication are all great albums

[The 38 year old virgin]

That misses out 2004 Supergrass replace The Libertines, 1997 Kula Shaker replace Neil Young, 1992 James replaced Morrissey, and of course 1971 and Pink Floyd (unable to play due to poor stage access - apparently)

I always wonder with bands like the chilli's, what happens to them when they decrease in popularity, but not so much that they accept anything other than a headline everywhere they go?

Do they just fade out when no one wants to book them anymore?

[Monkismo]

Kula shaker replaced Neil young.......I'm astonished. That's like somebody shitting in a carrier bag, handing it to you, and you giving them a £50 note in return

[brettredmayne]

they get booked right at the last minute when all other options go to pot like they were for Coachella last year

be interesting to see if they headline a UK festival again. Reading and Leeds really does seem to have put a permanent black mark against their name. maybe come their next album people will be willing to forget

[alframsey]

Of all the bands mentioned there is only one I'd get genuinely excited about, the others are just more of a fleeting interest.

[5co77ie]

Good job it's wrong then eh? From me memory it was Steve Winwood who dropped out. Kula shaker were massively popular and played the other stage at the same time as radiohead so they played again the next night. A double kick in the balls for me who chose them over Radiohead the night before.

[Monkismo]

I think you'll find Ash replaced Steve Winwood.

[Monkismo]

Either way, Neil Young wasn't supposed to play and somehow Ash and Kula Shaker played twice.

I see the Chilis are joining Bruno Mars for the Superbowl half-time show.
