Headliners 2015

[Bonehead> Clapton]

Macca, to do the same set again?! Would be bizarre.

But not as bizarre as Bowie.

Manager: "David, do you fancy playing live again? Considering you're a 68 year old man with a heart condition who hasn't played live in 12 years, maybe play one gig just to see how you feel after? See if you last the entire gig like"

Bowie: "Yeah, lets do a two hour Glastonbury gig live on the Beeb so".

Its fucking nonsense.

Macca could do 4/5 Different setlist and it wld still be full of hits!

[Wooderson]

hahaha, if I get myself all excited about Prince and then it turns out to be Macca. Ah man, i don't even want to think about how painful that would be.

Florence instead of Prince more likely.

[drakeyyy]

Paul McCartney is definitely worth a shout I think. Certainly more likely than Prince and Bowie I'd say.

Could explain the delay in announcing Macca as he's an exclusive elsewhere. Was why Metallica were announced late last time around May.

Don't want to wait till May time for the first big batch of names though would defo take some of the line-up next few days then headliner TBA later!

But the certainty of Florence appearing amid the uncertainty of her position on the bill inevitably means we're gonna have to wait till third headliner is fully booked before we get any announcement.

[Lucyjane83]

Still think Macca's in with a shout too.

Are tags such as 'European exclusive' always definite? Pretty sure Metallica were supposedly exclusives last year to Sonisphere before Glasto booked them.

Europe might not even include the UK (for festival bookings)?

I always think of Europe as the mainland... May just be me

[Callum_96]

Well that Bowie rumour I got might not have been complete rubbish?! Who'd have thought it, still dubious on wether it will happen though

[Icewulf]

Do REM count as legends?

Alas, I think there's more chance of us all winning the lottery on the exact same day than REM getting back together

[kalifire]

In other news, the skin of the pyramid has started going on apparently.

Really?! Wow. Last year was early, but that would surprise me if true. What's the point, so early?

Let me just check the 'live' BBC cams.

Nope, definitely not the case

Metallicas exclusive part for Sonisphere was the "by request" part of their European festival tour.

[ThomThomDrum]

Neil has strong reason to believe it's a Male Solo Artist (who will have a backing band). And the deal is just waiting to be signed and sealed.

Sealed with a .......................X X X.................Kiiiss!!

Aye, anyone expecting them to play would be mental. It was more of an answer to the question "has a legend headlined twice", and REM did it in 1999 and 2003.

[Gucci Piggy]

If it's someone they've been after for a long time (as Neil said), then that'd surely make Prince more likely than Bowie? After him playing in 2000, how long are they likely to have been trying to get him back (especially considering he has been retired from playing live for most of that time)?

I'm gonna assume that the info relates to Prince, and that we'll end up with Flo.

Bonce was a European exclusive two years ago at a festival in England.

[eFestivals]

Florence instead of Prince more likely.

someone has told me today that Flo is headlining the other stage.

I've no idea if it's true, tho.

That'd be a VERY odd placing given that Emily has come out and said she's big enough to headline. I don't buy it.

on sunday??

[FloorFiller]

aye all this Bowie and Macca talk is nonsense. i'll go ahead and say it's Prince, and if he falls through (which there's a high chance of) then Flo will take his place. fingers crossed the little shit is in a good mood regarding Glastonbury these days - the lineup being announced and Flo being up top would be heartbreaking on so many levels, especially knowing what could have been

[Bobinup]

About as ridiculous as that drummer's hat.

[Bonehead> Clapton]

I think we can all rule out Bowie. Wont happnen. as brilliant as that would be!

[kalifire]

That'd be a VERY odd placing given that Emily has come out and said she's big enough to headline. I don't buy it.

She'd be a compelling act against Kanye, though. They need somebody of headliner status to go up against him, in some ways.

[FloorFiller]

that would be a pretty odd turn of events - she may not be as huge as she was when she left off, but that's a pretty sizeable step down. subbing somebody like Prince, though not headlining, isn't something you can complain about. headlining the second stage is admitting 'well my chances of ever headlining are gone'

[TheNewUnion]

someone has told me today that Flo is headlining the other stage.

I've no idea if it's true, tho.

If it were, it would suggest a major name on the Pyramid with Flo being a device to split the crowds/manage the volumes (or it might not, but that was my initial thought)

they had bloody Chase & Status up against the Stones - it's clearly not that big of an issue to them

[drakeyyy]

Emily Eavis said 'she's not headlining... but she might be'.

So she is going to headline... but the other stage!?

[Matt42]

a 'legend' has never headlined twice have they?(bar the massive gap ones..)

Excuse me m9 but Alex turner has graced the pyramid stage more than once

- NME

[Jpw48]

GFL office this morning - 'We anticipate they'll be nothing revealed in the next 24 hours'. Mate emailed them.

This is interesting, what did your mate ask them in the email?

If he/she asked "Will we hear anything before the payment window closes?" then their answer is saying no to that but not promisig anything afterwards either, but if he/she asked "When will the lineup be released" then this could basically mean it'll be tomorrow....

Am I overthinking this?
