Metallica 2014

[FloorFiller]

If Panic At The Disco can headline the Other, anyone can!

let's just forget about that bizarre turn of events. christ knows what the Eavi' were thinking with that one

[Riggins]

Quick look at his tour dates suggests it took him a couple of dates to sell out a reasonable sized comeback tour, could probably pull it off but then again so could James Blunt.

[dentalplan]

Paolo Nutini isn't headlining T. The coheadline was bollocks.

Also for what it's worth, Skrillex can't play Sat or Sun.

James Blunt and Paolo co-headline? That'd be exciting

oh right i thought they were making out like he was a second headliner?

and yeah Skrillex vs Arcade Fire seems to make more sense anyway

[VCK]

I don't know how anyone could think Metallica would play anywhere other than Pyramid headline. Sure, Glastonbury may not be their target demographic as much as Sonisphere or Download, but they're one of the biggest bands in the world, absolutely massive. They'll headline, no question about that.

Are you calling Neil a liar?

as Neil pointed out earlier, they were almost definitely lined up to headline Other, and only Prince being a no-go has allowed them to step up to the Pyramid

[Wooderson]

Do you mean they are shit or good??

If they werent so downright offensive they'd be funnier than Spinal Tap.

Neil's already said they were down to be on the Other before Prince fell through..

Of course they'll headline now we know they're booked for the Pyramid but it was by no means as certain as you're making out before yesterday.

edit: getting silly now..

Yeah but Neil could say anything, we're not in the know. we'll just believe him.

[VCK]

Ah, well I've not read through all this topic I just saw a few comments from people talking about the possibility of them playing Other.

Still, if they were originally booked to headline the Other Stage, that's madness.

Well he wasn't announced as a headliner but I suspect he's getting a special guest deal or something. I don't think he'd sub at Glastonbury, unless he's subbing at V, then I suppose it's possible.

[howlin_pete]

Recon it will be Manic's to headline the Other, something a bit more conventional

don't reckon they're nearly big enough to headline Other now. people are talking about them headlining John Peel which seems much more realistic

[mb23]

I wouldn't expect Metallica to do anything other than headline Pyramid, but has Neil actually specifically said they would be headlining? Or that they will just be playing on that stage (maybe as a sub)?

As I've said they deserve to be headlining it and probably will, but just asking for clarification really.

Metallica won't be subbing anybody

Elbow are subbing AF and I could never imagine them subbing Kasabian.

Can't think of anyone who could've been booked for the Saturday headliner who would be able to appear above Metallica on the bill.

Still debating in my head whether or not I want to go and see Metallica, I'm not a fan but I can imagine they'd put on a hell of a show. We'll just wait and see what's going on on the Other .

EDIT: PLEASE GOD DON'T LET EXAMPLE BE ON THE OTHER ON SAT.

...could be Lorde?

[JGP]

Why just the other?

Surely he would never get to the pyramid? The thought makes me ill.

[Wooderson]

That odious berk nufc has gone all quiet hasnt he.

[GrowlerPhil]

Was that the OP who said The Eagles were nailed on for the Saturday?

[Brave Sir Robin]

EDIT: PLEASE GOD DON'T LET EXAMPLE BE ON THE OTHER ON SAT.

I'm actually hoping that he's there. He's the sort of poppy, dancey (shite) act that would certainly provide a real alternative to Metallica, and would probably attract a lot of the younger crowd. And let's face it, he's bound to show up somewhere, so if he does so while I'm watching Metallica then he doesn't waste a slot

[Rose-Colored Boy]

...could be Lorde?

Why the fuck would Lorde even headline The Park stage? She's got one song!!

[Yesiamaduck]

Why the fuck would Lorde even headline The Park stage? She's got one song!!

Her album was fairly well received among the circles that you'd associate with The Park's target audience, but yeah I think she'll play a slot on The Other Stage

[cwaite123]

She has Grammys and a Brit too, not like that tells us how good she is, but goes to show she is known and popular so could play a high profile slot!
