Headliners 2015

[Likearollingstone]

Last few pages pages everyone appears certain it's either:

A) Prince, and everything will be great.

It's supposed to be Prince, and Florence is gonna have to step in when he can't be bothered?

Anything else need to be added to this or should I not bother reading back?

[The Nal]

A great solo has to fit with mood of the song imo. if its prince just shredding as many notes as possible in a ridiculous solo, then i cba with it. the songs called while my guitar gently weeps ffs! but havent seen it yet so just assuming!

Its mainly that yeah, with a few Hendrix moves thrown in. Great guitar player though.

He is a massive Prince fan, so maybe they can sort something out. Eric's Favorited ever song is Purple Rain http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009mdm4

Wow cool cheers!!

Edit, also saw John Lee Hooker below that one!

Haha great..

yea i have heard hes a great guitarist! and i am intruiged!

[Likearollingstone]

Bowie......

One can only hope then. I read a few years ago that his health is no longer much of an issue? Obviously I'm no doctor.

Bowie would be brilliant.

[FloorFiller]

i can't tell you who it's gonna be, but i can sure tell you it ain't gonna be Bowie

[Memory Man]

TBH anyone who thinks it could be bowie is kidding themselves.... there is no way that is happening. don't get your hopes up.

prince or florence is about right i think. I would be very surprised if its anyone but one of those 2 now.

[Spindles]

I can't tell you who it will be, but I can sure tell you it won't be Limp Bizkit.

[The Placid Casual]

I can't tell you who it will be, but I can sure tell you it won't be Limp Bizkit.

Have some faith man.

Pun not intended.

[Spindles]

Yeah, until Matt42 tells me it's official I just can't get my hopes up for such behemoths of modern music.

[Keithy]

Obviously Prince divides opinion but he is arguably the last of the 'big headliners' that are left and never played. He would undoubtably put on an epic performance.

Errrrm, are we forgetting about Madonna...

[Chazeboy]

has anyone else noticed that 6music is playing a hell of a lot more Prince in the last week or so than is their normal?

I've been saying the same about pulp, not that I think headliner but maybe somewhere? Who knows

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's a few big fish left for them to land, but there's not very many of them.

Prince isn't quite the Moby Dick of Led Zep, but of he's certainly of a Jabberjaws sort of size - along with yer Madges, AC/DCs and so on.

[dentalplan]

I can't tell you who it will be, but I can sure tell you it won't be Limp Bizkit.

Hmm. Is this something you've heard?

[CaledonianGonzo]

If Prince is Jabberjaws then Fred Durst is one of those wee candiru fish.

[SteveTLizard]

Errrrm, are we forgetting about Madonna...

I am

[Spindles]

Hmm. Is this something you've heard?

Only if you count the voices in my head. Which I do. There are seven.

I reckon Madonna and AC/DC are both in prime position next year at the back end of their tours.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Reading really isn't your strong suit is it

i was comparing the fact that there is no reason why an active act cant do 60s covers

Difference being, of course, the Mumfords needed to pad out their set with a cover because they only had two albums to pick from. Prince has no such trouble.

[Keithy]

Errrrm, are we forgetting about Madonna...

Well I don't think she'd ever play and I don't think Glastonbury would approach her to either, which is why I said arguably. The rumours on here didn't really have any foundation.

[st dan]

I still think Foos / Kanye / Prince are too strong to all be booked in one year.

Especially with the number of available headliners reducing by the year.

[LondonTom]

We got the first selfie and thought "Not really my type but I can see why I've been paired up here", then we got the second selfie and thought "Oh heck! It's a right minger AND it looks like a horrible person" but we're going to our favourite restaurant so we're going to suck it up, go and hope there's someone much more attractive at another table?

Following on from a post someone made yesterday. ...

Seems early this year! (Maybe not, but all this sort of thing seems earlier than other years while the lineup is later. Curious!)

Errrrm, are we forgetting about Madonna...

Trying to...

yeah, i'm not usually one for fret-w*nkery, but i really enjoyed Prince in that. certainly livened up what was a fairly dull cover otherwise.

[Matt42]

If they get prince I wonder if Led Zeppelin/Bowie will now be the act they ask every year and promise acts a 'bump up' if they say no.
