With prince out of the equation, who's left?

[stocky3000]

Nothing in the release that indicates that they are an exclusive?

But nor does it say that Maiden are an exclusive?

No help at all really!

[GlastoSimon]

Stand by your beds time already?

[eFestivals]

the Soni press release says...

As previously announced, THE PRODIGY, IRON MAIDEN and METALLICA are headlining the festival, with exclusive appearances from ALICE IN CHAINS, DEFTONES and LIMP BIZKIT. SONISPHERE will now feature a total of over 100 bands across the weekend and has revealed more names to join the festival’s 2014 line up.

that's not all of it, just the relevant bit.

It makes it pretty clear that Metallica are not exclusive.

Elton John

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I also suggested him before. If there's nothing to rule him out then I think that he must be considered. Doubt many would complain about him headlining tbh

[Yesiamaduck]

I believe the Randomer, Kanye is going to play Sunday with Metallica playing Saturday and Kasabian headlining next year with a sudden shift in plans due to Prince declining a long negotiation process. Beck is also being booked in place of Metallica to headline the Other Stage with Pixies subbing him. Eavis sent me another doodle confirming all the above is true.

[errm]

:lol:Nope, if M do headline it's pretty clear that it's a revised plan from them playing Other.

[DL50]

He's playing a show in Stoke on the Sat, so that pretty much rules him out.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Fair enough

Does that mean Metallica, Foo Fighters and Kanye West are the last 3 potential headliners?

Unless it is a complete surprise act that we haven't thought of

I couldn't possibly hint at that. Or at anything else.

he's got a show elsewhere that night.

There's probably just enough time for him to do both shows if he was so inclined, but I can't see it happening.

[DL50]

if we're talking about Saturday headliner, just Metallica and Foo Fighters (and Rihanna and Adele if we're still taking note of the rumours page) as Kanye is booked for a festival on the Saturday

[eFestivals]

Haha, fair enough... Although anyone who woulda taken your bet offer that they won't headline the other stage would technically be owed money right ??? Lol

I guess, technically, they probably would, yeah.

(it would depend on what exactly I'd offered ass the terms of the bet)

[Yesiamaduck]

Adele would be a great booking in my opinion

Rihanna would be terrible

[FuzzyDunlop]

Rihanna would be amazing!!

Stick her on with the Eagles I say.

[FloorFiller]

When Kylie pulled out in 2005 as headliner they had a last minute scramble for a great headliner and got......Basement Jaxx.

As interesting as Metallica are I don't think they are headliners. It's Glastonbury not Download

Edited March 5, 2014 by FloorFiller

[JGP]

Possibly Disclosure could be bumped up to Saturday other headliner if Metallica have been bumped up to Saturday Pyramid headliner?

(I hope)

and yet Glastonbury's initial approach to them was about headlining, I believe.

[Zoo Music Girl]

BOWIE! BELIEVE.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Metallica have wanted to play Glastonbury for years. They have shown by the S+M gigs that they could "change it up".

Big enough to headline? Defintely? Something different? Yes

Great booking if true in my opinion
