Headliners 2015

[ghostdancer1]

Nah. As mentioned, was being discussed as a potential co-headliner for V and headlined Wireless last year. He sells out arenas in a flash, Lily Allen plays academies.

yeah, i edited it as he's probably a bit bigger than Lily Allen these days, but he's certainly nowhere near headlining Glastonbury level.

potentially co-headlining V is certainly a step below headliner.

Yeah probably. Sub-level at the moment for me too. A new album could (probably would) push him up to the next level but with him not appearing anywhere this summer I don't think its imminent.

[JoBalls]

Good Grief! We don't need to make this thread any worse, its bad enough

Just trying to rack my brains for people we haven't already discussed!!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

no, he's not big enough.

he's a 3rd last on the Pyramid act, maybe sub in a weak year.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Currently he's at that level where he could be a massive sub or a weakish headliner. Another successful album & he'll undoubtably he a headliner.

Whether or not Glastonbury would book him is another matter.

[fatyeti24]

Let him stay at V or Wireless then.

Christ you'll be touting for Iggy Azealea next.

i watched her at Glastonbury '13. never seen so many blokes with their cameras out!

We need news soon. Really soon. Bruno Mars and his plastic soul conveyor belt piano pop is the last straw.

[The Placid Casual]

Lulu to headline

I agree, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a massive international act.

So many people seem to struggle on this forum to differentiate between their own subjective taste & the objective size of an act.

It is the pyramid stage she's down for on the rumours, but surely wouldn't headline?

shes big enough to headline, but will have to perform 'shout' 7 times

Well said

[Mezhyp1]

This is really what it's coming to Wessex isn't it, absolute desperation, I'm enjoying it personally

And both of his albums were UK number 1s. And hes had 3 UK number 1 singles. But his last single got to number 83.

Hes still fucking terrible though.

It's going to be somebody out of the blue, isn't it?

We've pretty much discussed, and dismissed, all but a few 'expected' ones now.

EDIT: And by 'expected', I now mean the likes of Kanye and Swift. Even those are a little bit tenuous as guesses.

It could actually be Blue?

The size of an act should have zero bearing on their worthiness as headliner.

Can they cut it live and can they carry the traditions of the festival forward.

Westlife, objectively, meet your criteria for example - but not mine.

[GlastoSimon]

You might be right there. Given how desperate people are for reunions these days, it won't be long before the hoards are calling for Blue to headline

EDIT again: That reminds me, Blur haven't been ruled out. But again, probably a little bit tenuous.

About four foot seven isn't he?

Obviously subjective criteria comes into it on the festival bookers terms, which is why I said 'whether or not Glastonbury would book him is another matter'.

Don't try to be a smart arse when you knew exactly what point I was trying to put across.

maybe it is a year for one of the much rumoured acts to headline. P***** / daft punk

Doubt it mind

[Fivefingerjohn]

They wouldn't do Robbie Williams to us would they. Surely not

[CaledonianGonzo]

As a longstanding member of #TeamBarry, of the people still about who had familial relations with Maurice Gibb, Lulu isn't the one they should be summoning.
