Headliners 2015

[Space Shanty]

I seem to recall being bored rigid by air, and I was looking forward to them.

Yeah in truth you are probably right.

I think we were all still blabbering about the Roger Waters set and how we hadn't realised Isaac Hayes had such a funky live show.

That was a great day

[JBarbour]

You got this figure from where?

I have a lot of useful/less Glasto facts at arms reach at the moment. From Glasto themselves.

[ICGenie]

So 5 years ago we had Stevie and this year we're faced with Florence potentially.

Laughable.

5 years before Stevie there was Basement Jaxx. And 5 years before that, Travis!

And lest we forget (although I know they weren't planned) that five years ago brought us the glory or Gorillaz...

[The Placid Casual]

Gorillaz are far better than who they replaced

I'd be doing backflips if they replaced Coldplay this year

[monkey1989]

If Taylor swift loves Madonna so much maybe she will play before her on the pyramid

I've only left 2 Pyramid headliners. They were one. Oasis in 04 were the other.

Yeah Damon, I get what you're trying to do, its interesting and a bit different which is genuinely cool, but..... Wayne Coyne is singing on top of a bloke in a 7ft bear costume 100 yards way.......

Interesting.

I would love to know how they the know its 30% newbies each year, or is this only a new thing they could do since the registration process was implimented and thus its only relevant to recent years.

U2 on a bad night would be better than that Gorillaz gig.......It was utter pants.....One major Glasto regret of mine is going to it over the Lips..............

It's estimated / best guess. But will be based on new registrations and their success at getting tickets I would imagine

This info isn't hard to find, most of it will be on the Glasto website

But Oasis was because they were just utter shite yeah?

[willutalk]

I can't wait for the 90s legends! You know me and 90s grunge/industrial/alt rock bands!

[The Placid Casual]

Who does everyone think are going to be the legends of the 00's in 20 years time?

[The Placid Casual]

Bring Snoop on for Clint Eastwood was fantastic

But yeah, Dare was fucking shite. They should have just kept Ryder on the big screen

[Zoo Music Girl]

Why are Underworld not looking likely? Have I missed something?

[FloorFiller]

exclusive for Bestival

[Mezhyp1]

Exclusive at bestival unfortunately

Quick of the mark floor filler

[Zoo Music Girl]

Ah fuck

A UK exclusive then? As they're all over Europe

[JBarbour]

Glasto doesn't give a dam about exclusives! They do what they want if last year is anything to go by.

Would shit hit the fan if Fleetwood Mac got announced. If they delay the line up until end of april...

[Purple aki squat]

They already did U2 and Metallica

Lionel is on his way

Freddie, Whitney and Wacko are dead

Axel and Prince are fucking insane

Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, the Bangles, A-ha etc etc are shite

Pretty much leaving the Mode, Madge, the Mac, Elton and AC/DC................meh

It's Bon Jovi this year isn't it?

I hate myself for saying it.

[Bradders]

Who does everyone think are going to be the legends of the 00's in 20 years time?

Good question. Many will disagree with any answer anyone gives, but I'd say Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, Beyonce seem pretty unarguable. More speculative ones based on my taste that I think could get a bit of a reappraisal or just general building of audience in later years: Bombay Bicycle Club, British Sea Power, Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, Metronomy, The National.

Really hard to judge actually.

[Wooderson]

*Gorillaz was ace post.*

Albarn, Lou, half the Clash, Womack, Shaun William Ryder, Mark E, Snoop D O DoubleG, De La etc giving us some cod (larf!) environmental treatise in nautical gear.

Utterly mental and never to be repeated.

...and cancel FM's gigs over Glastonbury weekend too?
