While we're passing the time for Glastonbury 2014 to start, maybe I thought it'd be a good time to start up a thread discussing who'd headline next year.

I saw that last year Arcade Fire were a strong prediction to headline very early on. And it turned out happening

Wonder whether there are any bands we predict are almost definitely set to headline next year's festival.

I'm gonna go and make a prediction myself which could well be completely and utterly wrong

Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Florence + the Machine

Let's hear everyone else's!

Change Radiohead or Foo Fighters for Fleetwood Mac and you've got my bet. Foos will probably do Glasto in 2016 on the end of their tour of the new album.

Fleetwood Mac, Foo Fighters and Adele and my predictions.

FM seem stapled on, both FF and Adele have new albums coming out and we know Emily wants Adele to headline at some point

This is a good shout. Whether Adele will want to do it is another thing but I reckon they might try. Would also like to see the festival get more female headliners so would be happy to see another woman headlining.

Why would florance and her machine headline????????????? Maybe the other stage at a push but surly not the pyramid.............

it's gonna happen in the next few years. her new album will no doubt push her to superstardom and then will come the festival headline slots soon after. but what with Fleetwood Mac headlining next year i can't see Florence doing it as well (not because they're both female fronted - just that Stevie Nicks is clearly a massive influence to Florence so would be a bit samey)

You're suggesting this after we've had Mumford and Sons do it...

I'll too suggest FM plus F+TM, plus one other which I can't be arsed to think of right now. All these predictions will be about 100 miles out by the time next year comes around anyway.

Still time for her to deliver a Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie-esque clanger.

her last album didn't exactly set the world alight (not in the way Lungs did, anyway) but i don't think it'd matter if she did anyway - she's already cemented her popularity. it'd take a fair few albums of weirdness and shite before people stopped buying

Fleetwood Mac and Muse, if you pushed me for a third I'd probably say Foo Fighters.

Not think it's too soon for muse?, haven't gotten anymore popular in the last 5 years. I'd think they'd go for Foo's or another band that hasn't done it over them.

i always see Muse as the same level as Coldplay, i.e. a band Glastonbury made huge by giving them a headline performance, so it's not totally out of the realms of possibility, although their last performance does seem far too recent for them to do it again. hope so anyway as their 2010 performance was shite and the final nail in the coffin for my love of Muse

    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never been the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them after Thursday & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
