Headliners 2015

[dentalplan]

The album surely won't take that long if they've been working on it since September!

They were still deciding on where to record it two months ago so I wouldn't be too hopeful of new material any time soon.

SOLVED.....

Again I don't think anyone here is suggesting that. Plenty of speculating that if their next record does well, they smash a subheadline slot on the pyramid and continue the upward trend that their career has followed, then they're certainly in with a shout of headlining in the future.

At a time when new headliners are becoming hard to come by, I feel Foals' eventual ascendancy to heading major festivals is a matter of time (and a matter of quality new music).

shame Foals music isnt getting any better ey

[the wonderwhy]

sub Pyramid in 2016, headline R&L (or similar).

Reading will bag them on an exclusive. If they're going to sub the Pyramid it'll be this year.

[kingcrawler]

How does this seem for a Pyramid top 3 for each day...

Friday:

• Foo Fighters
• Frank Turner
• George Ezra

Saturday

• Kanye West
• Foals
• Pharell Williams

Sunday

• Whoever the fuck this 3rd headliner is
• Either Beck or Iggy Pop
• Paloma Faith

Florence will be there somewhere if she's not the 3rd headliner. Can't see Iggy or Frank Turner subbing either.

[Lovethatsht]

can't see them subbing this year.

those festivals just seem like a few quick money-makers on a quiet year in the studio

That was my initial thought with them announcing an 18 month break from touring/playing in September, but who knows aye

[Gucci Piggy]

Cassius is a banter. Hope they play it when they sub.

Meant to say banger but I'll leave it in there for the banter.

this thread goes in circles

IRONY.

[SteveTLizard]

frank turner too small too sub pyramid, pharrel bigger than foals

beck/iggy pop not big enough to sub pyramid

Iggy Pop not big enough to sub pyramid .... you waaaaaah!!!

[iPsy]

I temporarily forgot they had a gig for July 3rd. Then with this other news suggesting the lineup is imminent I gave it some more thought.

Apology accepted

[Gucci Piggy]

Iggy Pop not big enough to sub pyramid .... you waaaaaah!!!

I don't think he is tbh.

[Matt42]

Iggy Pop not big enough to sub pyramid .... you waaaaaah!!!

He isn't.

Last time he was playing festivals he was playing much lower slots. Has he done anything to warrant a bigger one since?

[T-Mouse]

shame Foals music isnt getting any better ey

Of course that's subjective.

Judging from your pic I can imagine you think their new music needs more, I don't know, SUNSHEEEEIIIIIYYYYYNE

[The Nal]

I don't think he is tbh.

Wanna be Your Dog

Lust for Life

China Girl

The Passenger

Search and Destroy

Gimme Danger

Fun Time

Lust for Life

Real Wild Child

If Pendulum and The Fratellis can do it then so can he. Probably more suited to the Other though.

He isn't.

Yeah. His shows are fucking great.

to sub the Other? yeah

[DomDom1984]

While I agree that Iggy would take lower slots at other festivals, somehow him subbing at Glasto doesn't seem bad to me. I think they could easily get away with it.

[wrongturn]

Iggy headlined the other stage a few years ago!

2007 to be exact!

That's never been how Glasto's really worked though

with The Stooges

[wrongturn]

with The Stooges

THAT.......is a good point!

[Tuna]

So for Iggy to sub the Pyramid, he'd have to play Lust for Life twice, Nal? Sounds about right

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah he should sub over lots of other candidates/past acts, but I have him 3rd down.

[gannster]

He isn't.

he's iggy. IGGY!

he's done quite enough already

yep, third on Pyramid or sub Other is where i'd place him

[neil999]

if i say(and generally others) i dont think someone is 'big' enough to sub pyramid, this doesnt mean i think they are shit and dont have a back catalogue..its just in the context of the festival..

many thanks
