Headliners 2015

[Martin Ashford]

Just to let you know, Mum is recovering well in hospital. Phew! Now then. Out of curiosity I posted on the FB Glasto forum, how would you lot react if Taylor Swift was the headliner. I expected a stream of abuse judging by the Kanye comments. Instead there is a generally positive response from men and women which really surprised me. Quite a few peeps saying she would be great, etc. Just saying like

Yep I think she would be great and go down well with the crowd

[JoeyT]

3rd down on the pyramid Saturday isnt ELO I know that for sure.

[Boopickledaddy]

That's because people don't predict Leftfield on the stage predictions thread.

I predict Billy Bragg for the leftfield. Mystic Meg would be jealous of my powers of prediction

[Jakkkkobz]

Don't think West Holts will look like that as they said "West Holts Stage Bit late for requests but 24 bands from 15 countries. Should be something you like."

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Yeah that's the one I made in the prediction thread.

Cool, I looked through that thread but couldn't see who made it.

Out of curiosity, why roots manuva and cypress hill? Any clues to that, or purely as they are touring at the time?

[Matt42]

Florence is at Glastonbury this year.

No idea where she's positioned whether it be sub or headline, but she is definitely there.

Good news about your mum.

Wouldn't want to see Taylor Swift myself, but like others on here I have noticed that you quite like her and so would be pleased for u, I would just be having my fun somewhere else on site.

Nah they're in there just because they're around at the time.

[mb23]

3rd down on the pyramid Saturday isnt ELO I know that for sure.

Is that because you know who is 3rd down Saturday/know where ELO will play/know ELO definitely aren't playing? Really want them to be there.

[Andy0808 v5]

I can see I still haven't woken up from this lineup free nightmare.

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Nah they're in there just because they're around at the time.

Damn, I was hoping for something a bit more concrete

How do you know?

[sime]

Stuck at work till 3 but the systems have gone down. What a shame... I like the look of that line up even if it is fake. Still hoping for his purple highness for Sunday but be happy if Stone Roses did play.

[Matt42]

How do you know?

2-3 things on top of what we already know collectively on this board.

More the fact of, I can't see those 2-3 things being lies when they are all coming from people who aren't connected to each other.

You saying you're ITK Matt?

[efcfanwirral]

Bimble inn's facebook says 'probably Wednesday' for their initial lineup

1. 2-3 things on top of what we already know collectively on this board.

   More the fact of, I can't see those 2-3 things being lies when they are all coming from people who aren't connected to each other.

   I do like your optimism but be honest, you don't actually know do you. None of us do. Still, please keep posting Matt. I enjoy your ever changing headline confirmations

I don't know why Matt just dropped it in to conversation like a bombshell but yeah it's been widely assumed for a few weeks now. There's three fests that could actually announce Florence now and the bosses of two of them have said they haven't booked her and one of those bosses have said that she's just playing one festival this year, so it's likely to be the other one, which is Glastonbury.

[Matt42]

And those 2-3 things are?

- Something from a forum user here whom I'm trusting is not lying.

Two other bits come from people who attended Flo's surprise london gigs, and hung around with a crowd to see flo after, from what they said when fans were asking Flo about Glastonbury she was responding with "I can't say anything" or something along those lines.

With that on top of everything we know on this thread, wanna bet to water aid she won't be there?

[Homer]

I don't see why not, it has before

When?

[Homer]

It could happen Monday as you would get the same press as you would on the Tuesday

No it wouldn't.

Assumed yeah. I think she will play somewhere on the bill. I just can't help but like Matts total conviction with every band he says will headline or play!
