Headliners 2015

[Matt42]

it'll be more than just the ancillaries in May.

Oh... I see what's going on here

I understand now Neil... I see what's happening.

I feel like Neil thinks it's p***** and will get released as late as possible. Maybe after resales

[Squonk]

So there will be a tba(possibly a certain purple headliner?) that will not be announced till may?

what is happening?

[Matt42]

We'l get a slither soon i'm sure of it.

But if Neil is saying what I think he's saying then yes, it ain't coming till May.

If it comes up as TBA it could only be p*****

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

At this stage, is anyone actually arsed about the 3rd headliner if they were to get a poster with a lot of the main stages on there? I certainly couldn't give two hoots.

[Mouseboy11]

In regards to Prince, wasn't the he 'he only announces dates late' a load of rubbish anyway? Thought he's announced festival dates way in advance before?

Not at all, would much rather know 100+ acts than one headliner.

Be he doesn't like glastonbury using his name to sell tickets??

2nd that

In the past he has announced festival dates months in advance... But then he has also been known to leave it until the last minute (Hop Farm 2011 for example) So basically, nobody really knows.

Can't help but think at this stage that it's not even going to be a high profile act like Madonna or Prince - but more likely to be a band or act drafted in at the last minute who are barely headlining status - e.g Kasabian

[GlastoSimon]

So only now Thurs or Tues, otherwise it's outside of the balance payment date.

Pretty exciting, but infuriating at the same time

Strange that Kasabian were your go-to example

Yes, I am aware they headlined last year. They're one of the headliners in recent years I never understood - they played a bingo hall in Galway a few months before.

They've headlined every UK festival going! God what does a band have to do to be called a headliner nowadays? Play on the moon!?

Kasabian have headlined every major UK festival but they're not headline status.

FFS.

Could you fill me in please?

[shoptildrop]

or special guest - I think this is likely as surely 3rd headliner warrants a separate announcement

[michael eavis' beard]

It's 100% accurate.

it'll be more than just the ancillaries in May.

So it took 2 posts from Neil for people to understand my post?! Come on people!!

Headline Glastonbury. Not even kidding I think that's what it is.

[efcfanwirral]

I dont know if the balance window closing with or without a lineup would be a good thing for those of us who care solely about resale tickets?

[russycarps]

I'd say its just the equivalent of speaking about work to your missus over lunch. Y'know, the old "Oh work is so stressful, I've just had pull out of the Sunday so now I've got to push Florence up and get it all announced tomorrow, fuck that Purple bastard"

hold up, how did you do that prince symbol? What wizardry is this??
