Then yer probably a nub for going to see somebody purely to tick them off a list.

Or perhaps just wanting to see an artist and keeping an open mind before finally deciding somebody is shite?

[Badlands]

I think people are defo over egging the Roses situation. When I went to V to see them they pulled in a smaller crowd than both Noel and Example (the Example crowd was mental). Add to this the fact they've already toured the reunion and been at V, T and IOW. I'd guess they wouldn't even draw a crowd the size of the Foo Fighters.

[Big Vern]

My mate was at that gig, who's opinion I value. Reckons it was the greatest thing he's ever seen.

horses for courses

[Wellyboot]

Think a few of us on here might actually go crazy if we have to wait until May!

[Wooderson]

I have to say it's on course to be the least inspiring set of headliners I've ever seen (obviously from my personal opinion). I'm a massive Foo's fan, but seen them a number of times and would like to see somebody else! I can't stand Kanye, and if it's florence or prince I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

I'll Look back at previous headliners like REM, Radiohead, Neil Young, macca, blur, oasis, Bowie, white stripes etc thinking what could have been.

Although part of me is glad as it gives me a reason to be elsewhere rather than glued to the pyramid.

Agree with you about the Food. But Kanye and Prince are tier-one headliners in keeping with that list you posted. Eyes of the world fixed on Pilton kinda performances.

And my most uninspired was last year. Metallica, Kasabian and Arcade Fire, on the back of that stinker of an album they released. Opinions innit.

[Stone_Love]

I'm 31 and the Stone Roses are my favourite band. Again, I found them on my own.

Second side of Reflektor is the best thing they've done since Funeral.

[thewayiam]

I love how we have had about another 20 pages and no information.

Think it's clear now it is coming after the window closes.

If I'm right in saying the resale is the Sunday 12th then I don't think we'll get the 1st poster until after then. It's not going to be Flo, not that I defo think it is Prince but he's the only reason to let any potential ticket window pass 1st.

[TheSeventhOne]

I can usually get a fair handle on whether or not I like an artist's music before spending £50+ on one of their gigs.

Except for the second half of Neon Bible.

I'd have no complaints with this. He'd undoubtedly throw a few new album tracks in there, but this is a great mix of hits/songs the majority of people will know, covers and songs more seasoned fans will appreciate.

I'd be happy with that one

[neil999]

yeah in popularity terms this years headliners are an obvious step up..

[Bisque]

You might be right but I'm going to give Kanye a shot. I can always leave.

which they played barely any of (in fact, only Afterlife wasn't it?)

also, if Prince does turn out to be the final headliner, this year's will be incredibly strong (especially coming off the back of last year, which i loved, but definitely didn't have the same wow factor)

I wonder which one you mean here.

I presume you mean Fools Gold. But Manchester United come out to Thus Is The One.Millions of peoplehear that tune before every single home game.

I didn't know that. I just looked up the song and I didn't recognise it. But that's just me and I've never willingly watched a Manchester United game in my life.

That said, I don't think hearing it being echoed around a stadium through your TV is really listening to it.

[Winslow Leach]

Except for the second half of Neon Bible.

Nah, I hardly ever get the urge to listen to Neon Bible. The run of songs from Awful Sound through to Supersymmetry is perfect.

[festhead]

yeah, this isn't more ridiculous than Spinal Tap, is it tony?

that is fucking amazing. God I hope he's our final headliner!

it didnt cost me anything and an artist live can totally change your liking or not of their music

They also played It's Never Over.

[Fivefingerjohn]

Kanye west is far from uninspiring. U might think he's crap Ye. But not uninspiring. Foo fighters maybe so, as much as I love them. But they had to do it some day, it should have been long before this year

[justperfect]

I've just forked out £1.50 for an e- ticket.....basically just someone pressing the send button

The world's gone mad

[Spindles]

Surely this must have been proved true to every one of us who goes to festivals.

Bands I'd had a half interest in on record who blew me away live, bands I'd just been passing and liked what I heard and stayed, bands that mates liked that I'd tagged along to. Dozens of times over the years I've had these experiences.
