Headliners 2015

[Winslow Leach]

There better be somebody pretty bloody spectacular on one of the other stages that night.

[Mr November]

They were awesome when I watched them on TV last time BUT only when they were playing the first 2 or 3 album's stuff. I've never seen them live and love the old tracks but the idea of standing through the utter shite of the more recent albums will make this a tough choice to make for me. If it comes to pass, I'll still be disappointed they were booked.

What in the world... this has proper knocked me. I'm in shock.

[the wonderwhy]

I can take or leave Coldplay.

They've always been a band I thought would be decent live but I've not liked enough to shell out to see them in a stadium.

[Gucci Piggy]

Florence and the Machine, Foo Fighters, Coldplay.

Well that'd be depressing.

[Badlands]

That's got to be the most unimaginative booking they've done in the history of the festival. And that's coming from a Parachutes/Rush of Blood era fan who's not in the least bit offended by them.

I mean, 2011 wasn't it? 4 years ago?

[SloopJohnB]

I reckon it could be a whole lot worse!!!

[Chris E]

West Country born singer Chris Martin has hinted at the band undergoing a conscious ‘unrockulating’ and a farewell tour possibly putting band into hiatus afterwards. Last year he told BBC Radio 1, "It’s our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it’s like the last Harry Potter book or something like that. Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something. I have to think of it as the final thing we’re doing. Otherwise we wouldn’t put everything into it."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FFS. The positive I suppose is that I couldn't see Coldplay AND Taylor Swift headlining.

Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and??????

[LondonTom]

Bloody hell....

I think I might forgive the #TeamSwift lot and join them.

Michael and Emily right now:

Why, was it the only artist you didn't predict?

[Jakkkkobz]

This is karma for me moaning about Metallica last year, did not realise how lucky we were.

[Matt42]

Why, was it the only artist you didn't predict?

beyond prediction, I didn't see this coming at all

[eFestivals]

You taking the piss then?

No. I believe Coldplay is right, but I don't know for certain. By the nature of things I only get to find that out when it's announced.

I'm responsible for what is done with my own money. I'm not responsible for what you might do with your money.

[Badlands]

That'll teach us for mentioning Prince and Madonna as potential headliners again!!

[shineongas]

Numb

[eFestivals]

beyond prediction

I'm almost tempted to put that in my sig. :lol:

[ToeJaylor]

[Slugworth]

This is terrible news. We will be the laughing stock of the world.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Well I suppose the good news is that Coldplay will be cheaper than many as they love the festival and want to do it so leaving loads more cash for the epic headliner we have yet to hear about.

[Matt42]

How much do you wanna bet AC/DC proper pied glasto off and they had no one to turn to.

[Bignews]

This is terrible news. We will be the laughing stock of the world.

better or worse than mumford at reading?

[CHRLY]

Fucking hell.

[dentalplan]

How much do you wanna bet AC/DC proper pied glasto off and they had no one to turn to.

That's what they apparently did to Sonisphere. I don't believe it but it's been said.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No positive spin to put on this news. A proper bummer in the summer.

[A Guy Called Matt]

How much do you wanna bet AC/DC proper pied glasto off and they had no one to turn to.

If it were likely we would ever find out I would have a massive bet with you as that is utter tosh.
