Headliners 2015

[Superscally]

FFS

(Franz Ferdinand & Sparks!)

I've done that joke. It's mine. MINE.

[neil999]

the bee gees? oh balls..

meatloaf then? deffo not been mentioned

ooh a bat out of hell

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Bigger than the stones???

Have a word with yourself

If it was their comeback show then yeah it would be.

Never going to happen though.

[Armourman]

New to this thread, but its an absolute stick on to be Paul McCartney...

[jobleakley1]

Neil, you mentioned hundreds of pages ago about the possibility of a shared headliner between Glastonbury & IOW.

Was that ever ruled out, or could it be that one of Blur or FM are playing both festivals?

Perhaps they are both playing on Sunday in which case as co-headliners they are still exclusive festival headliners to IOW?

Just a thought.

What a way to end the weekend.

[michael eavis' beard]

The 'net has its quietest days of the week on Saturday, and then Sunday.

Probably because during the week we're spending hours on here while gleefully neglecting our jobs!

Has previous with Grohl and West. But seems to be "exklusive" at Roskilde.

[Mr November]

Paul Weller?

Blur have ruled themselves out.

Fleetwood Mac are a worldwide exclusive so Glasto would have to jump through hoops to find a way round that. Or not announce them until very last minute.

[Lovethatsht]

Paul Weller?

not big enough surely

I wouldn't be the first time Dave has lied tbf, seem to remember he was asked about activity in Japan with blur and flat out denied it... And look how that turned out.

[brettredmayne]

Paul Weller?

Maybe if it was the jam but not solo

[Mr November]

not big enough surely

Aye, just throwing names out there.

They haven't been doing anything in Japan.

[FrancisH]

Dave Rowntree said that they were not headlining Glastonbury.

Interesting use of words. Not we aren't playing at Glastonbury which would be clear.

I'm just relating this to Neil's previous comments about a possible shared act and Gittings comment about not topping Glastonbury.

Blur are not a festival exclusive as far as I can see and there is nowhere else that could accommodate them that has a headline slot free. IOW make exclusive claims whenever they can.

As I said, it's just a thought

[Fivefingerjohn]

After much thought on a long drive I have to say, I've gone absolute denial of madonna headlining to now seeing how it won't be her. I'm no fan but a good coup for the festival I would say.

Well BST Hyde Park seems to count as a festival so that's why they're not exclusive.

A catastrophe more like

[jamesrfisher]

from the Blur website

Blur are confirmed to headline the Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday June 13. Tickets are available now at www.isleofwightfestival.com/tickets

With BST Hyde Park on June 20 - ticket still available at www.bst-hydepark.com - this completes the band's UK festival appearances for 2015.

Blimey! ignore that then... I genuinely thought I'd read it was in Japan! I swear this isn't a slightly racist mix up :|

but either way, the point is he denied recording the album or indeed even doing anything with the band.

Edit: Well that's that then...
