Headliners 2015

[dentalplan]

Course we could, she's no less likely to sub anyone than she is to headline the same year as Coldplay

Huh, what?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Despite all these comments, wouldn't bet against Coldplay getting the biggest crowd of the weekend by a distance - another example of the efests community not representing Glasto as a whole

[craigyb31]

This isn't a problem for me and the missus as slways liked them but not enough to shell out cash for one of there own gigs, can imagine the disapointment of people who have seen em before though tbh

[Festiboi69]

I am not bothered about the headliners really if it is the 3 that are being bandied about. I would rather watch Taylor Swift than Foos or Coldplay. McGee had it right about Coldplay, "bedwetters music".

I am more interested in the talk of Hot Chip and the Chemical Bros.

If the rumours page on here about V is remotely true then that will be a pretty strong lineup.

Yeah, I'm not going to watch coldplay so it doesn't bother me but the current way it's going i'm not going to be seeing any pyramid headliners, and would like to catch one really just for the sake of it. If chems get put up against coldplay i'll be very happy.

It's quite remarkable Glasto has bagged two absolutely huge stadium selling bands in one weekend.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Huh, what?

I don't think she'd headline the same year as Coldplay, and I don't think she'd sub anyone - I see her as as unlikely to do one as to do the other. Would stick a tenner on her not playing at all now tbh.

[EighteenSixty7]

Neither a lover or a hater of Coldplay. Just never been bothered about them at all. I'll be elsewhere.

[Badlands]

Imagine being genuinely arsed that Coldplay were booked?

I'm genuinely arsed. My favourite festival regurgitating the same old shit is annoying.

Better be clashing with Nas playing Illmatic at West Holts or TFC headlining the acoustic.

You're right, but let's not forget the majority of people like shit music.

Would be interesting if Swift/Florence played below them, or maybe if they all played on the same day. Sort of 'shovel the shit in a big pile' kind of attitude.

Hang on. Foos aren't confirmed yet. This could be instead of Foos or something until we know the whole picture.

But why wouldn't she?

[Matt42]

Couple of years down the line this is probably gonna be seen as the strongest pyramid trio ever..

(providing foos are correct)

If it is Chems vs Coldplay isn't that a repeat of 2011?

Had to check it earlier but yes it would be a repeat

[Rose-Colored Boy]

No idea, just a hunch.

Or perhaps the weakest.

Providing Taylor Swift is correct as well.

'Tis indeed, at least I'd be able to rectify myself this time around - positive there I guess.

You don't half talk some utter shite.

It wouldn't even be as strong as the trio of headliners last time Coldplay headlined.

[giantkatestacks]

Right, my straw clutching is that the eavii needed to offset cheap friends of the festival against someone expensive.

[Little Andy]

Coldplay were down as a rumour months ago on the rumors page, but got removed again! Why?

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Same arguments erupt every year, it will have almost no impact on your festival at all will it? Just makes me laugh the amount of hyperbole that spills forth at times like this

[pedmills]

Wow. The only way this would be vaguely justifiable is if this is going to be Coldplay's last ever gig.

Otherwise, this decision looks truly baffling and completely goes against everything Michael and Emily have said about liking to take risks etc. It's not like they are desperate for sales, so there is nothing to stop them giving somebody smaller a chance.

What can Coldplay possibly do on stage in 2015 that they didn't do in 2002, 2005 and 2011? The performance will just be indistinguishable surely?

Can't believe JoBalls' phone died for this.

I've just charged it up. I think I might just turn it off again.

I think they're shite and would be nowhere near the mainstage if they play BUT they have released 2 albums since last playing

[FakeEmpire]

Coldplay

Elton John

Foo Fighters

Florence + the Machine

Taylor Swift

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

That would be a pretty strong set of headliners/subs for the masses, wouldn't it?
