Headliners 2015

[Fingerbobs]

1993 - The Black Crowes · Christy Moore · Lenny Kravitz (replaced Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Why can noone remember The Kinks headlining the Sunday? 1993 definitely had a British Headliner!

Madonna fits the paradigm I posted a few weeks back. Every Glastonbury in the 2010s has fit this pattern; one headliner I love, one I can't stand, one I can take or leave. We have the love in Kanye form, I hate the Foo Fighters, and I have mixed feelings on Madonna. We've cracked it, efests, great work.

I don't know if it ever was around. I went on seconds after it was posted about to try and see some Flo or Prince odds but it came up as closed.

this makes me want to cry.

It's pretty shit but I think it was back from when she was an indie darling and covering Beirut and Cold War Kids and stuff. Any The Rat acoustic cover is gonna be woeful.

There is a band we may get in the line up. I really hope so but their best output in recent years is their side project French Style Furs. Brilliant album that.

Foo Fighters

Florence and The Machine

Kanye West

Pharrell Williams

Madonna

Taylor Swift

Just seems ridiculously strong to me, I don't think I've ever seen a top 6 that strong at any festival ever - would rival big weekend in terms of getting massive acts to play lower than headline.

Why I can't see that happening, because that would massively exceed 2011 in terms of super stardom bands and headliners.

That certainly looks like a Radio One big weekend set of acts.

Gonna listen to bows and arrows now to clean my ears

oh god i'm away for a day and now Madonna's name's being thrown about again. let this madness end (although i've had a nagging feeling in the back of my head for a few weeks now that it'd end up being her and flabbergast us all). would be an amazing booking anyway (even though the performance may not...)

Big names but that'd go down like a lead balloon

[The 38 year old virgin]

Madge would be ace, and if it was a greatest hits set, it'd slay em

What has been said about Madonna?

To me that looks absolutely dreadful, aside from the foos.

[dentalplan]

What has been said about Madonna?

Nothing. She's got a Radio 2 interview on Tuesday so she might be talking about doing Glastonbury but probably won't be.

Shes like a virgin

would be massive, but id be an ecstatic if pharrell and TS are nowhere in site of the lineup

on here only

[brettredmayne]

If it's Madonna that would be a very strong set of headliners

[zero000]

I keep hearing that promo 6music are doing for Matt Everitt's interview with Florence and I can't get out of my head the idea that she's been bumped up to headline.

Awful.

[Wooderson]

Matt you never took me up on my 20 to Wateraid to bring your inane and distasteful predictions to an immediate halt... Offer still stands.

Wooderson based on what Neil said earlier, do you know who the Sunday headliner is or not?

[suzie sue]

Making 2014 look like a good year and that only had 1 good pyramid headliner

[FloorFiller]

it being Madonna would also lend favour to the 'more females on the lineup' thingy. what better way to promote such an idea than getting THE female musician icon at the top? (although i suppose Flo would do the same to a lesser effect)

i'd love it to be Madonna (in greatest hits form) but can't help feel that it has the potential to be a huge disaster (or at least, very underwhelming), whereas with Prince there's almost zero chance of that, so yeah, still Prince please

[Wooderson]

He was referring to Blur at IoW.
