Headliners 2015

[Badlands]

I remember being on here in 2013 and we were speculating where Mumfords would play as everyone felt that they werent big enough to headline. Starting to get a serious sense of Deja vu.

[neil999]

remember those incorrect bristol dates on micks facebook page many months ago.....

[neil999]

If Taylor subs for anybody, Fleetwood Mac would make the most sense, given her love of Stevie Nicks... although Fleetwood Mac definitely aren't headlining, not after all that, it'd be outrageous.

have you seen micks meet and greets?

Standard 'I may have missed something' disclaimer but would FM playing explain Giddings quote about not being able to get one over on Glastonbury?

it would, but them being billed as a 'world festival exclusive' for IOW would seem awfully odd if he knew about them also being at Glastonbury. i know all these exclusives are getting thrown about willy nilly, but i'm guessing a LOT of people have bought tickets for IOW on the basis of Fleetwood Mac being there. it'd be pretty scandalous

So the comment on Florence 'not headlining but she could' was maybe a hint at her subbing Prince .. Who may yet still not happen for whatever reason?

I think the Eavis family are simply watching this thread and waiting for it to hit 1,000 pages before announcing Kanye will be headlining both nights

is the assumption, yes. tbh, it'd be an odd thing for Emily to say - 'Flo ain't headlining but if our headliner falls through,she will be' - but who knows

Erm... If the jiggling about on the rumours page was due to a story about FM playing after all, wouldn't we expect that FM were added to the rumours page?

Reads to me that there is a story about FM that lends credence to the royal one playing.

I'd guess FM could change their mind and say 'look we want to do this show as well how do we make it happen'. I don't have a great sense on how valuable or meaningful these exclusive labels are.

All fun and games this not knowing anything beyond scraps of conjecture

So last year Prince doesnt commit and we get an odd poster and then Metallica in his place as they were going to headline the Other but not announced as a back up?

And this year we think the same thing is going down but with Flo as the potential replacement for Prince?

Sheesh!

Yeah that's what I thought Neil meant. Hearing about an act agreeing to sub with a bump up if Fleetwood Mac dropped out or something.

Even if you disregard this 'world exclusive' which is still holding true, they've got shows on Friday and Saturday and I don't think they're doing three shows consecutively.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

That's certainly what I got from Neil's statement

[TheRedSeat]

I'm not really sure how news / rumour / BS about Fleetwood Mac could relate to any other acts playing / not playing either...

In as much as if they're not playing it seems unlikely this would be new information to the Eavii

Yeah but if we didn't have Metallica desperate to play the festival then it could have been Elbow couldn't it?

This is what i gathered from Neil's post. Not sure how anyone could jump to the conclusion that FM were back in the frame.

prince/fmac/swift supergroup

[Lovethatsht]

after eliminating most of them, is Radiohead still on the cards?

They're completely not on the cards.

[ThomThomDrum]

For those who said it may be Rihanna.................

It could be you know!

never were on the cards - not touring this year

[justperfect]

Would anyone be surprised if, after the third headliner announcement it transpired neil and Scott knew all along and we're "gagged" by the powers that be, maybe in a trade off for info on future events.

Not surprised but would be odd to be so adamant they have no idea instead of just keeping schtum

[st dan]

If it all goes tits up with the booking of a huge headliner .. Chris 'Mr Glastonbury' Martin is going to swoop in and save the day. I can feel it.
