Headliners 2015

[feline]

You need to be more worried about the eFestivals April Fools' along with the actual lineup reveal if it were to happen on the 1st.

I'm probably being really naive, but what sort of thing do you mean..?

[ghostdancer1]

don't know about the initial one, but last year the full lineup/stage breakdowns/confirmation of Metallica came on 8th May at 7pm on Zane Lowe's show:

7am by the look of first post?

[Festiboi69]

ah, in 2009 they would've almost had all of Springsteen, Blur and Young by now, and we're sitting here with the Foos and Richie.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Goes to show, there is no real pattern. The "main announcement" can come after the balances are paid.

[willutalk]

Surely Radiohead it is then!! all the main rumours have been dismissed, and Radiohead are another band who have an assumed Glastonbury connection. Supposed new album etc

I'd love it to bits!

Blur, Kanye West, Taylor Swift are all still in the running (with outside bets of Madonna, Rihanna, Elton John, and even Florence & The Machine)

The joys of having 2 million people registered for 135,000 tickets

[kalifire]

The March 14th 'few names' was just confirming self-confirms, wasn't it? People like Lily Allen, who'd already mentioned they'd be there.

[dentalplan]

I'm probably being really naive, but what sort of thing do you mean..?

Something like this:

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/14/140401a.shtml

but on lineup day.

[Gucci Piggy]

If Radiohead were announced and it was confirmed to be them playing The Bends in full I'd be massively pissed off.

[kalifire]

Spring starts on 20th March, two weeks today. I'm expecting an announcement like last year with a bunch of names but not the full thing, either in the last week of March or the first of April.

[ghostdancer1]

nah, everything is an hour behind due to forum settings/daylight savings time.

Oh no. Whatever it is I'm totally going to fall for it.

You not a fan of The Bends?

[dentalplan]

You've been here long enough to know not to mention any thoughts on any Radiohead albums in this thread.

[The Nal]

Thankfully Glasto is 100% a Radiohead free zone this year.

[FrancisH]

The idea that Radiohead would play any album in its entirety is laughable, this is a band who refuse to play some of their most 'popular' songs even for a festival crowd, in favour of the more interesting or most recent material

[Gnomicide]

Thankfully Glasto is 100% a Radiohead free zone this year.

Apart from all the acts that cover Creep.
