Headliners 2015

[eFestivals]

Sorry, but that is utter shite. As someone who wrote for the NME in the 80s, I can assure you that he had godlike status.

ahh, part of the later crew. Perhaps that's why?

You and the tabloids, you've got a lot of crimes to answer for.

I get fed up of the worship, and point out that not everyone thinks he shits gold.

If that's too much for the worshippers that they can never accept that, it's them you need to be having a word with and not me.

Yes agreed, that applies to most artists though, not least Bruce and the Stone Roses in the last 20 pages.

You do seem to reserve a particular level of disgust for the purple one that I just don't follow. There have been numerous pop acts at Glastonbury that have barely warranted a comment from you.

Hmmm. Would I be getting the 'what they think of the music' answer, or the alternatively created answer that's mostly around MJ?

I know there's more to all of this than I'm saying, just as there's more to it than I'm responding against. It's what others are saying which is the lead for my responses.

They're talking mainstream. You're not.

I'm talking Prince. He has a 30 something year career to call on, some good some not so good. But he is and has been for many years one of the great live performers around. Anyone who saw him last year may have noticed that. Did you slag the stones off two years ago cos Beast of Burden and Steel Wheels weren't as good as the early stuff?

Reading the last 10-20 pages makes me realise how desperately we need this lineup.

Cabin fever all over the shop.

The pub is highest priority at the moment

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Working on Neils earlier logic, if we don't have a line up in 10 minutes time we will be waiting until next week

Eh?

Neil was a massive Batdance fan. Told me hisself.

We were saying that 6 weeks ago!! One day ill get round to creating an efestivals headliner boom/bust circle.

[Gnomicide]

Vicky Vale?

Neil said that he thinks if nothing happens before 3pm today then it won't happen until next week.

No, my first piece was published in 1983 in the week that Hand in Glove was released, which had some bearing on why I got the gig.

Not that we didn't (frequently) think Prince was a little tosser at the NME -- but we thought that was a small price to pay for his amazing output in those days.

that was indeed rubbish. Jokerman was ace though!

The National have just released a new (very unexpected) single on the online platforms. (/LsR1t7aZuP)

What do you all think to a possible Other Stage headline slot after they were snubbed last year?

It was all very confusing as to why they were not involved last year, after that very successful record. The band even commented on the matter at there roundhouse gig, saying they were annoyed.

Best track on Infidels

I'm having a bbq sunday evening for the missus birthday and would quite like to have a playlist of a newly released lineup on in the back ground.

That idea's gone down the toilet now

[Brave Sir Robin]

Best track on Infidels

Probably, although I and I is a tune. And obviously Blind Willie McTell should have been on there.

[brettredmayne]

So if it isn't before the balance deadline, sure if we are paying without a line up then it should not be released till after resale

What did they say? Impression I got was that they weren't wanted as headliners and were too big/expensive for any other slot (although they subbed Neil in Hyde Park).

Quite like 'Sweetheart like you' as wel, I would love Bob to be given another chance at G but you cant see where he would fit in.

[Riggins]

Came on here to give The National shout. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN. I don't care what stage.
