Headliners 2015

[FloorFiller]

Or Alt-J

that would be the perfect outcome for me!

[home to you]

Alabama Shakes or Ride on JP Sunday. That'll do

[dentalplan]

Florence - Chems

Foos - Björk

Swift - alt-J

That'd be my guess for Pyramid and Other headliners now.

If so there'd better be something good elsewhere on the Sunday. Cribs on JP/Park.

Chems (& Alt-J) are elsewhere on Friday.

Stone Roses????

I'm listening to Stone Roses at this very moment. It's like cosmic ordering.

[FloorFiller]

are we pretty much dismissing any of Eavis' previous 'clues' ('he's British; they're not', 'they've been around for a long time', etc) and assuming he was talking about AC/DC or Fleetwood Mac which haven't panned out?

Flo, Foos and Taylor Swift just doesn't seem right to me - two acts there that a lot of people would (and have) question as being capable of headlining. i'm not saying they need an AC/DC or Prince, but it's definitely missing that Glastonbury magic and seems a bit risky

I do hope you are wrong, unless we got something like Weezer in the JP

who's to say they didn't think they'd bagged AC/DC at one point? They might of tried for them and it didn't work out?

Arcade Fire, Metallica and Kasabian are much more controversial than the biggest touring band right now, the biggest pop act right now and a step up.

This is the one.

The Fall have been announced for 6 Music Festival. Probable Other Stage headliner?

People on here have said they are not allowed to play Glastonbury any more. They are not big enough to headline really.

Nearly! That's next, Shoot You Down at the moment!

3 proven headliners vs 1?

MES headlined with Gorillaz in 2010!

[zero000]

Or Alt-J

Beds would be wet.

exactly. i'm all for Swift headlining, but a lot of people definitely wouldn't be. likewise with Flo. seems like a bit of a risk having them both headline in the same year (totally seems like i'm saying 'only one female headliner!!!' but i'm not - just that they're both currently unproven festival headliners)

[Woffy]

Swans on Park Stage por favor.

Yes, Dental. Yes.

[Woffy]

Why are people bragging so much that she's playing? Odd

And this. Very weird.

Every time i see one of Matt or Zac's posts appear I check if my teenage daughter is on her laptop.

She is.

;)

[Mezhyp1]

What the deal with The Fall not being able to play? The 6music festival line up has shaped up nicely but not really any surprising names

[ghostdancer1]

It will still sell out in minutes, just the tickets will go to even more gormless c**ts who will hang around the main stages all day and all night watching pop acts.

that's a good thing, more room at other areas.

[Woffy]

Only Radiohead can balance out this Swift thing now.

[Gnomicide]

Ian Brown has been performing in court today.

imagine being told years ago that Ian Brown would be in court giving evidence against Fred The Weatherman. Strange days indeed.

i don't think that if (and it's still a big if) Swift plays, that she'll headline.

sub before a big act like Elton John?

Well Eavis also said that Taylor Swift would be good in 'the Dolly slot' or something didn't he? I assume that's been thrown out too if people are already sold on her headlining.

I think Mark E. Smith said Michael Eavis had an upside-down head, or was that the bloke from The Levellers?

Either way, they're way overdue a return!
