Headliners 2015

[SteveTLizard]

I love this topic, I do need a new F5 key, rest of the keyboard as new though.

I think Chris Rock said it best... "Remember back in the day when we all would argue who's better, Michael Jackson or Prince...well, Prince won!"

Yes that was after the paedo allegations. Using that criteria, Milli Vanilli "won".

Wonder if the words 'I am the ressurection' are relevant to anything else going on this weekend??

Would be very surprised if the first people to hear about the return of Jesus Christ were XFM Scotland though.

Prince is the best live artist i've seen

you should check out some of those pavement artists in that there London, then.

Have set up a notification if the Glasto lineup page changes.

Checking every 30mins or so will be the end of me!

What is this witchcraft?! How is this possible?

[Stokesy10]

Is Prince any good then, I've not seen him live but for me it seems he's just a handful of half decent nostalgia tunes from the 80s.

Not that there's anything wrong with that if he puts on a good show mind.

If you don't know too much about him (like me) I'd imagine he's the kind of act where you don't realize how many class tunes he has. He's a superb guitarist too, he'd put on a great show.

[SteveTLizard]

A joke, surely.

One of the most prolific and best hit-makers of the eighties (a handful?! half-decent! nostalgia?!).

One of the greatest album-makers of the same era, who has amassed a body of work only very few have equaled in all of rock history.

A musician of unparalleled talent and creativity,

And... One of the most thrilling and unpredictable live performers ever to take to the stage.

yeah, he's 'good'

I think Chris Rock said it best... "Remember back in the day when we all would argue who's better, Michael Jackson or Prince...well, Prince won!"

Not a joke. I'm honestly asking the question, I've been looking at recent gig setlists, all the hits there.

The missus and a few mates went to see him at Wembley and were raving about him.

Might just be me then what with music being subjective and all that. Would go and see him if he headlined on Sunday, see what all the fuss is.

best? You're having a laugh. Duran Duran had better tunes and were more musically innovative, fer christ's sake.

[Fivefingerjohn]

He'd be one of the few artists that would undoubtedly be brilliant to 99% of the crowd. The people that call his performance crap are the ones that won't go

[eFestivals]

He's a superb guitarist too

if you like bad heavy metal guitarists.

people said the same about Springsteen before he played, too.

If you have Twitter, go on settings on the page you want notifications for and press "turn notifications on" eg the glasto Twitter feed

[JoeyT]

Getting my haircut at 12 so would be great if they could hold off any announcement until 1.

If you appreciate good musician and showmanship, which I'm sure you do, you'd be blown away.

[Mouseboy11]

Haha, load of rubbish.

I refuse to rise to this obvious tomfoolery.

That was

[stuartbert two hats]

people said the same about Springsteen before he played, too.

And the Springsteen fans still believe it. I managed to escape the Pyramid field that year, but had to crawl over other poor punters who had fallen asleep trying to flee.

Well said

I'm suprised how narrow minded some people are.

But they could just be joking

[Wooderson]

Neil on a rant about Prince AND Springsteen?

As a massive Springsteen fan, this is tough, but I will admit this was perhaps the least inspiring performance I've seen him give (of 12 shows I've seen).

A few factors such as he was touring undoubtedly the worse album of his career (WOAD),and he made absolutely no concessions to the casuals, playing the same kind of set he always plays, plus the weight of expectation was huge.

That said, it can hardly be classed as a 'bad' performance, just somewhat short of the mind-blowing event that us faithful had been promising.

Did anyone see him at IOW in '12? - I thought he killed that one.

[Jakkkkobz]

I think the respect that Prince has received from quotes and collaborations with the likes of Miles Davis, Eric Clapton, Beyonce, Noel Gallagher, Dave Grohl, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lemar, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Nicks etc ad infinitum really speaks of his influence and musicianship(not his personality, ego and mental state cause that they are obvious issues).

[SteveTLizard]

If you appreciate good musician and showmanship, which I'm sure you do, you'd be blown away.

I do indeed my friend, if the man is headlining Sunday night I shall now be there, with what sounds like 99% of the festival.

This Neil character will obviously be at west holts watching Kool and Gang. ...... "get down on it"
