Sold out date

[cagetheginger]

When do people think weekend camping tickets will sell out? Will they?

[Toon Army]

I'm guessing they probably won't. Nobody knows though

No.

I'm excited to see the undercard for Glastonbury given how much money they've saved by getting such small-time headliners.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I reckon Ed Sheeran, Lily Allen and Paolo Nutini will all be there. Not much of a huge surprise, who do you think would be a big name for the undercard

[daniel.k]

Of course they'll be there. Not only are they everywhere this summer but one of them is already confirmed. I meant the less predictable bookings. Someone like John Legend would be good.

[Boris The Spider]

Dolly Parton was pretty unpredictable

Glastonbury won't have saved money, they don't pay much.

And Arcade Fire are better than any V headliner since 2007 (IMO of course) and Kasabian have been doing constant headline slots since about 2010 so hardly small time. I doubt the overall Glastonbury lineup is going to appeal to many people who roam this particular area of Efestivals

No international superstar this year though. Rolling Stones got 750k last year, no way any of the three who look like headlining this year are getting even half of that.

[mattgimmeshelter]

No one knows how much the stones got, so every rumour is bollocks.

I reckon (and this is my guess) they got the bogstandard fee, but got alot of dictation on their placing and who played before them etc.

Such as the bird on the pyramid, primal scream warm up, setlist length etc.

Doubt they got a normal fee, I would guess more than any other headliner previous to them. They would know they would headline so they wouldnt get to choose that, and I doubt the bird was down to them. Set length would probably be in the contract negotiations somewhere, and I dont know if they would have any control over primal scream subbing

[Prat.]

Could be a big saturday headliner?

[sisco]

It has already been confirmed by Michael Eavis that the Stones got the normal fee. (He would say that of course)

And like someone has pointed out, saving money on headliners doesnt happen as they all get such a low fee. When Coldplay waived their fee in 2010 it was all donated to charity.

And Primal Scream supporting and the bird were their choice i believe

There are many reasons the headliners play Glasto and a payday is not 1 of them.

[sisco]

Nobody actually believes that though, right?

Exactly.

Who said it was? (Although arguably given that one of the reasons is the jump in record sales thanks to the TV coverage it actually is but never mind.)

I've got little idea about how Glasto dilute payments depending on timeslot and stage et cetera but my point was that if you're saving 300k by not having a real 'wow' headliner then there's surely a better chance of the undercard being improved just slightly by having just that slightest bit more to spend on the rest of the Pyramid all weekend.

It's not like Glasto are facing a 2008 sitch here, where the bill is so weak that there are going to be tickets left on the door, but if people are stupid enough to take the view that last year was a 'peak' (and lord knows that'd be such a very British thing to do) then it could have a negative impact on demand for next year's fest, which is something Glasto really can't afford. Could. That's why I'm excited for the Glasto poster.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

I doubt someone like Bastille last year in the JP tent got paid much. Probably got a free bacon butty from a vendor and a couple of I.O.U bar tokens.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Just spotted your be at your first Glasto. U missed a phenomenal year last year but honestly you will love it. Makes V fest look like a visiting traveller fair when u could go to Alton Towers. Trust me even if you dont like some of the acts there is so much to do. Presume u have seen vids on Shangri La and Arcadi?
