Headliners 2015

[FloorFiller]

coldplay?

I'm guessing.

ah of course. nah. it won't be them

[zahidf]

why on earth can i not figure out who CP is..?

so Foos, Kanye, or... i'm drawing a blank at who the female popstar could be (would've said Gaga but just can't see it)

edit: not that i believe you. i just like to mull

Rhianna for the female popstar.

You were telling people you had a family member working on radio that said Coldplay were headlining T and R+L this year. What do you get out of people thinking Coldplay are playing something?

[eFestivals]

ah of course. nah. it won't be them

I don't think so either. Too soon for a start, plus if they're doing stadiums it's unlikely the promoter of those shows will be willing to allow the competition.

Mind you, I doubt the whole thing that was posted. "A family member of mine works for one of the promoters" suggests that to me.

Ahh we get our Mike99 or NUFC bloke early this year. Good news

[Winslow Leach]

A family member of mine works for one of the promoters....2 of the 3 headliners are booked - one old school act ahem FM and one to be touring act for the friday night ahem CP, the sunday night is likely to either be Foo's, a rapper or big female popstar

I sense that there is someone in the audience called... John.

[5co77ie]

I'm sure, hang on, I'm sure .....

....one of the acts will say, "Hello Glastonbree!"

I feel that, because my name starts with 'nufc', I should come up with wild statements and predictions for who is going to play based on little or no evidence, as others like myself have done before.

However, I am not a fool...so I won't

Ha, i do apologise..... ur clearly not all the same

[kalifire]

Didn't ME announce the headliners have already been booked? So why would he be "discussing" anything?

It sounds like either Eavis was talking rubbish (something of a tradition) or FM were being coy.

It is well known that Eavis' post-festival comments should never really be taken seriously!

Eavis always says they are, and his later words always prove they weren't. Generally, it's the difference between a loose verbal arrangement that often doesn't actually happen, and something signed and sealed.

Added to that was some 100% bullshit from his gob about this time last year, about having booked "3 of the world's biggest bands", when I have it on the best authority that no one was booked at the time or even close to being booked or even lined up.

(if I'm stating so very clearly that I know Michael was talking bollocks, believe me that I know it for sure)

PS: it's been suggested to me that I should never again trust anything that Michael says as truthful. That's how i'm going to play it from now on.

[ghandi]

Apparently I've been told that the Who have a 25 years celebratory album out next year and are touring?

What about a Pyramid headliner ?

[dentalplan]

It's certainly true as they have a *50 years hits album out next month and a tour not long after. Don't reckon they'd play Glastonbury but must be nailed on for some self congratulating IOW Festival gig.

[ghandi]

Ah * 50 , sorry, but why not Glastonbury? could happen.

[FloorFiller]

i reckon they're far more likely for IOW than Glastonbury. haven't played there in eleven years, will no doubt go where the money's at, and are just the type of headliner that IOW would throw money at

[Matt42]

The Who have been discussed for IOW for ages, I think they are much more likely for that then glasto again.

[dentalplan]

They're quitting after 2015 so there's really one UK festival left in it for them and you'd think IOW because of history and they haven't really done anything since last headlining Glastonbury other than announce retirement.

[russycarps]

I still cant believe I didnt bother seeing them at glastonbury in 07. The walk from the other stage in those weather conditions was just too much to contemplate so we saw chemical brothers. I know it was the right decision at the time, but looking back it seems a daft thing to do.

please forgive yourself, a decision within the festival cannot be compared to a decision outside of it..especially when the weather has such an effect

[giantkatestacks]

Russy, it was a perfectly sensible decision at the time. I was rocking foetally in my tent by that stage.

Coldplay playing..... ;-)

I like the number of people the band or artist has with them in brackets, interesting reading.

anyone know if http://indscene.net/ have reliable info?

[dentalplan]

I don't think it's a secret that Coldplay were doing shows next year. It's just, as Neil said, they're supposedly putting together a stadium tour so it might lessen the chances of Glastonbury if they have stadiums to fill.

That leak is probably there or thereabouts though; the details from those South American festivals do tend to leak quite a bit. Most of those bands were at Glastonbury last year though so it doesn't benefit us much.
