Headliners 2015

[DomDom1984]

Blur, Foo Fighters and Coldplay would be a ridiculously strong set of headliners. Most festivals would kill for that.

[The Nal]

Mastodon were killing it in the NME tent at the time

They're playing Dublin on the Friday....... Other Stage please!

i'd be all over that!

[LaurieReid]

Phonics subbing Foo's on the Friday?

[Wooderson]

Emily: "Chris. I need a massive favour."

Chris: "Sure, you know I'll do what I can."

Emily: "We have a big headliner this year but he's temperamental and if he leaks he'll likely cancel. We'd like to use Coldplay as a cover to throw journos off the scent."

Chris: "I'm not sure - we can't be publicly aligned to a festival we're not playing."

Emily: "We won't release your name publicly, we'll leak it to sources - you know, eFestivals etc."

Chris: "That sounds ok"

Emily: "And you know we love you. Let's set something up for 2016 or 2018. We definitely want you back."

Chris: "Sure thing, go for it."

Jesus, this is worse than One Direction fan-fiction.

Heh I posted something v similar to this week's back. Neil G is a slippery eel.

I can't watch this just now but going by the title seems like The Libertines were asked about Glastonbury at the NME Awards.

Saw this too. How do you watch it? It's just a picture?

[FrancisH]

They say 'it's a great festival' and talk about another time they went and didn't play but got hammered instead... not much to go on!

"I really like glastonbury, but I don't think we are going to be playing"

Seems direct enough

Stereophonics? No chance

[Matt42]

Neil watch this you are going to have a huge laugh

"We don't know who feeds all these rumours of who's headlining"

[Space Shanty]

So we're now dependent on Blur saving the headliners lineup by usurping Coldplay

[DomDom1984]

Stereophonics? No chance

Why not?

Nope because emily just dropped a huge hint florence is headlining, and she said HEADLINING so put them blur straws away

[Filthy]

Why not?

I think it would rip a hole in the space time continuum if that shower of shite were anywhere near the top of the pyramid in 2015

what did she say...verbatim?

[DomDom1984]

I'll ignore the "because I don't like them" argument from you and wait to see if Matt - Ed Banger has a better explanation.

[Space Shanty]

I didn't mention Florence.

I've accepted she is doing it and therefore I'll be elsewhere.

But one night at the Pyramid wouldn't go amiss and if the third headliner is definitely Coldplay that's not going to happen

[WS_Jack_III]

You didn't see Black Eyed Peas did you?

no but you could hear them while Prodigy were playing.

[Matt42]

what did she say...verbatim?

"we'd love to have florence, on the pyramid, she's definitely big enough to headline - but I don't know what she's doing this summer we will have to see"

That's the closest emily gets to confirming something.

[Mezhyp1]

I wonder if there is anychance Neil isn't correct on Coldplay? I know he is TBC but I wouldn't to hear if he has any thoughts on whether it could potentially be wrong

[FloorFiller]

there's always a chance he could be wrong - there have been the odd one or two TBCs in the past that have proven to be wrong (Pet Shop Boys last year, for instance). but for him to put a headliner as a TBC and it be wrong would be slightly damming of him. he must've had some solid info for him to go all the way to TBC and not just SR

They're nowhere near big enough to sub the pyramid. Half the attendees wouldn't know who they were

[JBarbour]

Neil watch this you are going to have a huge laugh

"We don't know who feeds all these rumours of who's headlining"

She mentions florence being big enough to headline and talks about her a bit. I would think that means she's not been asked for this year. Seen as she avoids speaking about booked headliners near the beginning of video.

Also adds more weight to Coldplay.

[DomDom1984]

The Black Keys and Elbow are no bigger than Stereophonics were when they finished touring their last album, subbing major festivals and selling out arenas, and it's been where they've been for absolutely years.

They're a big act and would warrant no less than subbing main stages.
