Headliners 2015

[Dave1.1]

2010 was perfect weather for me, another year like that this year please.

[justperfect]

When British people are stuck for conversation..... we talk about the weather

[LondonTom]

Indeed after last year and 2011 (which when talking about 2007 seem to have not been bad at all). I'd take a 2010 all over again. Wasn't saying that after the fest, but it wasn't that bad reallly and was much better than than mud at any rate!

[Hugh Jass]

yep..the bandwagon is gonna roll on for years yet, i wonder if/when it will struggle to sell out again?

It would take a few consecutive years of terrible weather and lineups for it to become a possibilty. Cannot see it anytime soon.

[Festiboi69]

Although it's irrelevant to this year, just seen on the Coachella lineup that Kasabian are 19TH down on the poster! Seems crazy to think a glasto headliner could play that low, but then they must just have very little status over there.

[Alan_C]

What was the crowd like for Pulp at Coachella 3 years ago?

This makes me smile for some reason, they seem like harmless blokes, but after their bafta performance, its nice to see them knocked down a few pegs... apologies if that sounds a bit mean

thankfully this time around it's not going to be creating Michael a huge worry over tickets, as 2008 was back when they still sold all of the t5ickets in April. I'd hate him to go thru that again, it was clearly a big stress on him.

There might be some who return tickets because of Kanye (tho I doubt the numbers will be huge), and they'll soon be snapped up.

Are you trying to say that Glasto still sold out in April for the 2008 year? If so, they didn't. Early June time that year, the festival put tickets on sale in HMV stores and to be available by the use of credit card. If you're not, it's crossed wires.

Hadn't seen it before, just watched it. Found it quite odd tbh haha, oddly dull.

[Jakkkkobz]

Its reaching that time of the week where I can stop speculating and go to the pub

[eFestivals]

Are you trying to say that Glasto still sold out in April for the 2008 year?

no.

If i'd have been trying to say it, I'd have said that.

I think what Neil meant is that the sale didn't start until April so only a few months before the festival, rather than in October.

[stuartbert two hats]

no.

You did say that! " when they still sold all of the t5ickets in April."

What you meant to say was "when they still put all the tickets on sale in April", but we'll forgive your error

Yeah noone really knows who they are over here.

I was surprised that Phoenix headlined only the John Peel in 2013 - here they headline arenas and festivals.

In all fairness Neil, you can roll your eye's but this guy may well be right. Anyway, no harm done, I wasn't trying to dig at anyone, I just remember going on there that year in June and it still being so easy to get a ticket. I remember it being the day before that it sold out or something.

2010 was too hot. My least favourite glastonbury and it was due to the weather.

Dry will do me fine.

Seconded, when it's that hot I can't drink until the sun goes down as the heat really gets to me, Bestival 12 was similar.

Warm and dry with lots of white cloud please.

A repeat of 2013 would be perfect

[FuzzyDunlop]

A repeat of 2013 would be perfect

I didn't get a ticket and wasn't in the country... I wouldn't know

[CaledonianGonzo]

Plus it tipped it down on the Thursday night / Friday morning.

Alt-J seem nailed on for sunday other headliner, what implications does that have for our last headliner (presumably they're not gonna have acts with too much crossover in fan base clashing)?

I don't know where you're getting this from. The most reliable source you have says they believe it's not them and someone else. The info originally only stated it was thought they were asked for it, and they are now TBC but with no stage.

[TheWineguy]

I'm really struggling to understand why Swift is being considered.

[ghostdancer1]

I'm really struggling to understand why Swift is being considered.

because she's one of the biggest pop stars in the world and there has been info that she'll play on Sunday.

personally, i think she'll sub if she plays. I don't think there's 90,000 people at Glastonbury that want to see her headlining the Pyramid.

her subbing on Friday makes far more logistical sense than Sunday too.

Maybe they're Pyramid subs?
