Headliners 2015

[JBarbour]

because they've chosen to play gigs elsewhere over Glastonbury weekend and aren't going to do 3 nights in a row.

if they were playing, they'd have left a proper space for a Glastonbury gig.

You their manager, doctor, bank manager, maybe a parent?

Who says they can't do 3 nights in a row? They have the monday off. and the tour ends about 10 days later

Not out the question

I not saying FM is happening or very likely. But its still possible.

Keep them coming kids!!!

Sorry to be a douche but can someone send me a link to where it says Underworld are exclusive to Bestival? Can't find that anywhere online. Ta.

Um, the Bestival website? http://2014.bestival.net/news/first-2015-acts-to-feel-the-love-unveiled

The only reason Coldplay are playing is surely because they couldn't get Fleetwood Mac (or AC/DC).

No chance Mac are playing. I doubt they ever will now.

Can't see Florence headlining. Doesn't have enough hits to carry a headline slot. Sub at best. If she does headline then Glasto really are scraping the barrel.

If the album sells well, can see her potentially headlining 2016. Florence is V headline material at the moment. Will grab some headlines until everyone realises they know about 6 songs and have to wait until the end to hear Dog Days.

Dinner party music.

[Bisque]

I will be so disappointed if Flo headlines, but if Swift somehow is shoved in to sub Coldplay I will be very happy & Flo can warble all she wants, I might even see a bit.

Swift > Coldplay = taking drugs

[Wooderson]

The hubris in Chris Martin going out on that stage again so soon... Tough to comprehend me hearties.

[Gucci Piggy]

I will say it again and again and again metallica is not a special case, exclusives are not necessary exclusive. Look at Damon alburn, the strokes, pulp..... or more recently bastille, festivals claim to have an exclusive for them to turn up at other festivals.

The Strokes were an English exclusive and played TITP. Pulp were a North England exclusive and played IOW.

Scraping the barrel, or bumping up a suitable act to increase an ever-diminishing pool of headliners; a move that'll probably give her a massive boost and turn her into an even more massive act, like they did with Muse and Coldplay.

She also won't headline next year. Glastonbury never gets headliners on their second Summer touring an album.

I'd have to be completely fucked on something to enjoy that myself.

Subbed R&L off two albums so unless she subs someone amazingly huge (can only think of Prince) she's a headliner & probably decent booking for most, The Sun is already hyping her off waffle they've heard. She'll be nabbed by R&L to headline the year after for the end of her album tour.

Edit: headlined Bestival too which may equate to acts around the sub size at Glastonbury or Other headliner (see Dizzee Rascal, Pendulum, The Prodigy, not Stevie Wonder)

This. Probably helps that Glastonbury is earlier on in the season, enough time to world tour for a return in August.

Plus the BBC footage will help her shift arena & possibly edging stadium shows.

Anything is dinner party music if you're open minded about it.

At the risk of creating a whole new debate, maybe, just maybe the Prince idea isn't that far-fetched for this year? Allegedly the whole reason he never played last year was because it was leaked that he was at least interested in playing. Apart from the Lionel Richie announcement it's been unusually quiet from the GFL office so far.

It's highly unlikely I'm sure but a nice thought nonetheless.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Cheers for the Underworld links - totally didn't see that on the site when I looked! Weird definition of exclusive to have them at Camp Bestival too but whatever.

Still hoping for a secret set.

I think it is what a fair number of people are pinning their hopes on. After the last couple of years of nonsense and then finding out that last year WAS a near miss in getting him, I think no one dares hope too much now it starts to seem more realistic.

You being well into books and poems and clever people shit as well as spaffing on fringes is one of my favourite plot twists on this board ever.

Who on earth goes to a dinner party?

It's what posh people call, going to their mates for tea.

Gotcha. They should give the chippy a try instead. Pudding, chips, peas and gravy

I'm at a total fuckin' loss with this Headliner stuff now.

I'm gonna kid myself that it's Daft Punk and Radiohead.

I think its going to be Elton John, Coldplay and Foo Fighters.

Eeesh.

No idea what the word is but that's a mixture of vanilla and biege.

yep, as much as i couldn't care less about Flo, i'd take her over Elton - at least it's something new, and possibly exciting

[Gnomicide]

Ooo this is exciting

One will get the headliner spot

But who will it be?
