Headliners 2015

[ericlered]

Here we go....

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

yep, Emily's kept everything hushed up this year by telling any tom dick and harry who the headliners are.

Stop avoiding my comment about Florence & Bestival... It's time to pay up!!

I've never experienced déjà vu before...

I'm buckled up and ready for the ride TechGuy83.

Let's see what you've got...

hey guys, finally made an account after monitoring this chat for weeks. Under strong impressions that the roses will play. Some joker in here was banging on about an interview? Turns out something like that did take place. Will be announced next week along with the rest of the line up.

Here we go...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Starting to hear Whispers about the Roses again

At what point does this thread implode in on itself?

[st dan]

I think it's often underestimated on here how big of a booking Foos are as well. With them and Kanye there's no need whatsoever for the Sunday headliner to be particularly huge.

Its a tough one to judge. On one hand, they are a huge band who have been going 20 years with continued success and a large collection of hits whi haven't played since 98 .. But on the other hand, they are 'festival fodder' who play UK festivals what seems every year .. So it's hardly a coup for Glastonbury to have booked them as headliners.

I think it will be a strong surprise booking along the lines of Prince/Roses. I think Kanye would have been announced last if he was the 'main' headliner .. Why announce it when they did? It wasn't immediately before the album release or tour details .. So looks like Glastonbury themselves chose to announce it rather than Kanye.

I think they've left the big one until last .. Otherwise why not just announce it if it's not 'special'.

Just my views/hopes on the whole thing.

Several hundred pages ago.

When it reaches a 1000 pages, it will be like Y2K and e festivals will collapse.

Just don't say anything offensive or fake a bet on it...

[TechGuy83]

That guy knew something and added a load of bullshit into the mixer. (Photoshop etc). A pre recorded interview took place and discussed the line up along with the headliners. The roses were spoke of. Thats pretty much all there is to it.

Here we go again, what have you got for us then?

[FrancisH]

But what's Bob Harris got to say about all this? He's the most connected man in music.

That doesn't really tell us anything, though.

It's not going to be the Stone Roses FFS!

• There is not a shred of credible evidence
• They are not active as a band
• There has been no 'leaks or strong rumours'
• No band has ever headlined the Pyramid Stage 20 odd years after their last album and with no new material and only 2 albums in total.

I appreciate that for a lot of people it would be a dream but it's getting increasingly tiresome that we keep getting this rumour based on nothing else than new posters and self confessed trolls.

This point is irrelevant.

[dentalplan]

Yeah imagine Glastonbury turning Led Zeppelin, The Smiths or Talking Heads away over lack of recent material.

[Matt42]

Was it Mike that was the first person to outright suggest that the stone roses were headlining?

Arctic monkeys did it on 2 albums, it can be done whether it's been 20 years or not

Really? I get it all the time, I love it.

You really are adamant about this aren't you? Look, at this moment in time The Stone Roses are perfectly capable of headlining the Pyramid Stage, that is literally it. There's barely any room to dispute this, it's just fact.

[Brave Sir Robin]

This point is irrelevant.

Absolutely. Pretty sure no band had ever headlined Coachella, Sziget, Isle of Wight or V "20 odd years after their last album and with no new material and only 2 albums in total" before the Roses.
