Headliners 2015

[Bonehead> Clapton]

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

And i feel ashamed for anyone watching them over the Stones

Wouldn't surprise me if that was a Jagger "put us on the same time as someone shit. Just enough to completely fill the Pyramid Field" type demand.

Much like Roger Waters "we're not going on before the Spice Girls, nudge them off the bill" demand at Live 8.

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

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

Game changer.

[CaledonianGonzo]

So - if Prince bails, they do a switcheroo and punt Machinery onto Pyramid and promote some sort of Jake Bugg-a-like into the topsot on the Other Stage....(?)

[Matt42]

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)

I said this yesterday but it's a myth you need two massive acts to balance out crowds.

2013 proved that.

Like Dolly and Sam Smith?

Between Chase and Status and Public Enemy it was enough.

People were going to Dolly regardless. Out of pure morbid curiosity. Imagine missing that sax solo?!

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

That's good enough for me. They're holding out until after midnight tonight, and I think it's because they want to measure the Kanye effect. After that, I don't see anything stopping them. If it's P****e, releasing a line-up with TBC might actually demonstrate to him that they're not using his name to sell the event like he stupidly thinks they did last year.

I'm saying 7pm tomorrow night.

Yeah that was what I was thinking too... Just out of interest as well (hypothetically of course) After the Prince issue last year, and then maybe he bails out this year... how would Prince fans feel about that? would that be it do we reckon, no more chances? or third times a charm?

Probably alt-J or Ben Howard or something. Although I doubt Flo is actually booked for the Other Stage.

In all fairness it wouldn't have mattered one iota who they put up against The Stones. The crowd would have still been mega.

I'm not even sure the Eavii know what to do yet, but we're still on here waiting for the line-up that'll surely not be out for a good few weeks.

[JoeyT]

Bubbling up nicely this.

[eFestivals]

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'

if Flo headlined the other on Saturday, that would please many who don't want to see kanye, I reckon.

But as I said, I've no idea if it's true.

So like Metallica last year if the rumours were true

Good point, well made!

Exactly, and the pyramid field can hold 100,000+ punters. Glasto rarely pulls dangerous crowds either, it may be a bit tight but it's rare you're gonna be subject to pushing and shoving.

There was a bit during Arctic monkeys in 2013 but that was because I was surrounded by genuine dickheads.

Feels very deja vu to last year this.

Metallica on the other stage, big headliner falls through, band bumped to pyramid headliner.

Decent shout mate.

guilty

If the guy who's claiming to know is right the other headliners this year are Rudimental, The Chemical Brothers and Alt -J

If he is right of course

[dentalplan]

I'm pretty sure the guy only claimed that he'd found out that Rudimental were headlining Friday night. Anything else is separate.

Not that I'm giving any thought to Florence playing the Other Stage.

[Fivefingerjohn]

If it's someone they've been chasing a while it ain't gonna be macca is it.

And it won't be bowie Unles he fancies dicing with death

Outside p***** who is there? (On the assumption what Neil's heard is true)

[efcfanwirral]

I watched NOBODY over the stones. Enjoyed having a near-empty site to walk around. It was brilliant.

Was thinking this too.

That 'nothing expected in the next 24 hours' e-mail above is so annoying, why couldn't they have said 72 hours or even 48, meant I could have got some work done over the next couple of days
