Headliners 2015

[mr gumby]

That piece of paper in the trash, behind M.Eavis in the "Yeezy does it" pic, with two letters on it: TS.

 

 

Holy shit. ITS A SIGN

Yup! It's a sign The Smiths are reforming to headline!

[eFestivals]

when do you think michael will full on pack it in and Emily will be show runner?

my impression of Michael is that he's a very hands-on type of character, so i'm not sure he'll ever stop being involved.

Until the last day or two I was starting to think his role was pretty minimal now tho - but if what i've heard is right, he's still personally booking some acts. But mostly it's Emily and Nick now, I think.

I just don't know why they can't put us out of our misery. Do they enjoy watching us squirm? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

[Bisque]

TBC on the rumour page Couchy.. How do you feel now?

TBC already

Sweet. TBH I never check that page & come straight on here.

Edit: I feel good, at work booking my internal flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui.

Why can Florence not be doing bestival or iow?

Flo can't do IoW cos she's in the states. And because another well-known beat combo is doing it instead, and will be announced tomorrow, of course.

Rob da Bank has supposedly said Flo isn't doing bestival.

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

What's happened to the AC/DC rumour then? Who is the band Eavis mentioned about being British but not British any more or something?

That could have been Fleetwood Mac as well of course.

But don't pay too much attention to Michael's quotes. I've been warned off them.

Are you saying you know the final IOW headliner?

Ah ok. So that only leaves Glasto as her one UK festival. But as a sub or other headliner (unles things have changed since emily interview)

That would suggest the final headliner is more worthy than Florence.

Which doesn't change much haha. But I now know the lower limit of what to expect

Blur?

[home to you]

Blur reference from Neil?

[Callum_96]

Wait Neil what do you know about IOW? Come on tell me what you know. Pretty please

[dentalplan]

I just read that Kings of Leon have a European show in Barcelona in late July. Scenes would be had.

[greenArmy12]

I think you love her

I think we established that 500 sticky pages ago

BST?

Can't see Glasto ever going for KOL again.

[mb'satglasto]

Bettings been suspended in Paddy Power. Or so it says. Not sure if this really means anything, but feel free to speculate. I was just about to stick a tenner on Prince tbf.

[Bisque]

Can't see Glasto ever going for KOL again.

Fingers and more crossed

[Guest]

Carol King? *shudder

I'd love to see her at glastonbury - but not as a headliner.

why?

[Matt42]

why?

When was the last time KOL was relevant? Pretty sure their last album was the most forgettable album ever.

[Andy0808 v5]

I quite like the last KOL album, it's the one that has Sex on Fire that killed them as a band for me, and the reason i'd avoid them at a festival is because of the shower of shite that is on that album.

Mechanical Bull was a return to form after 4 years of pretty dull music.

[stuartbert two hats]

I admire Emilys professionalism - I know it's pretty much the case already but neil when do you think michael will full on pack it in and Emily will be show runner?

2020 apparently

Can't argue it's slipped under the radar though? Don't think any songs on there made any real impact?

Come around sundown was the one that knocked them from my fave band list. Only by the night had some stinkers on it mind. It also had some decent tracks. The first three albums are fantastic.
