Headliners 2015

[CarltonGold]

Dno who this billy big bollocks character thinks he is.

[Spindles]

The nerve of some people, making things up on the internet....

[addicted2noise]

I think The Vaccines could still be the Reading and Leeds special guests. They've just become a bit generic after their first few singles, nearly every one of their songs now uses the same chord sequence. Although I thought that song Melody Calling was good and a bit different.

Current guess:

Foo fighters

Kanye West

Stone Roses

[5co77ie]

Stone Roses would be great - are they still going?

[Justiceforcedave]

That was this thread when we thought it was Floldplay

Let the events of this thread over that time forever be known as the "Floldplay Incident"

[sloseph]

my best guess is

Foo's

Kanye

Taylor

but i also think that's not right because i can't see them not having at least 1 British headliner, i can't can't think of anyone that fits the bill

Blur are the only ones i can think of and i don't think they'll be doing it

to be honest as long as Bjork is somewhere on the lineup (preferably headlining Other) i'll be happy as a pig in shit

[Justiceforcedave]

So we are back to the Mac being liars then and its:

Foos - Blur - Fleetwood Mac?!!

I would be happy bunny if that was the case but if the alternatives on other stages are folk like Beck, Chems or Bjork as headliners can see some tough decisions being made lol

The Mac are the Headliner Glastonbury deserves....but not the one it needs right now.

All has been dark on the Stone Roses front for a while. There where rumours that they had broken up again around May last year but the band and anyone close to them refused to comment, pretty much a mystery what’s happening with them right now.

Could be that they have been working away on new material and they are going to use Glastonbury to launch it!?!?

Oh yeah, that's really likely. I can just see the Eavii booking a band that's notoriously unreliable to headline on the basis of material that hasn't been heard, probably not even recorded, yet.

Who knows. New album was penciled in for this year. Michael eavis said he wanted them back after watching them in Hungary as he likes them. That was 2012 though. And stone roses are good at splitting up???

Well seem as likely as any band at the moment as no one really has a clue.

"Look Michael. Do I have to beg you? You know we stuffed it up. I know we stuffed it up. But for the love of God would you please just give us another chance......"

I'd have said their unreliability had been surpassed since 2012, much more than the Libs for sure. They still sort of 'owe' Glasto a set, and even if they just played the reunion shows of 2013/4 it would go down a storm. Add in a couple of new tracks (unbroadcasted) and everyones happy?

given their current form they'll probably just arrive and stand in front on the pyramid and play all day forcing everyone to watch them

Hmmmm. Happy to debate this with you sometime mate. They didn't stuff it up.

Also, if the highly unlikely event that Nelson shows in a few months and is met with a similar nor'easter the outcome will follow similar path. Disappointment.

I agree. Set list order was questionable but the rain killed it rather than the band.

Put them on the saturday that year, play exactly the same set but finish with new years day and it would be remembered much more fondly.

[JoeyT]

Agree with above. Rain killed it. 2010 was definitely one of my favourites and would have been even better had they not had to pull out, everything seemed to come together that year.

[DL50]

I reckon it's R&L booking them third down in 2012, banking that they had a lot of hype (when they started) and thought that they'd be the next big band... but it's all smoke and mirrors

Vaccines may have appeared big, but they weren't as big as their slots in 2012/2013.

I'm a bit perplexed at where they are appearing on lineups this year, as I too thought that they would be much higher by now, that latitude one being particularly confusing

I guess the slots they got in 2011/12 must have been based on the fact that they looked like they might go on and headline one day, and festival organisers must have realised that it's not gonna happen

[CaledonianGonzo]

"Yes, Michael.....you're absolutely right. This time we'll encore with some songs that people actually know."

Seeing ur profile pic there reminds me.. .I knows they have called it there 'year off' but I definetly recall Simon Neil saying they might pop up for a few special occasions (not sure of the actual wording) it would be odd timing and u'd have thought they'l do it later. But as we have nothing else to go on...who knows
