Headliners 2015

[jamiemaher]

Libertines or Strokes possibly?

The Libertines management did hold discussions with Glasto about playing (no idea which stage/position), but they priced themselves out of contention. A friend of mine has worked with one of the band members a fair bit over the last few years and this came directly from them. It could maybe happen, but from what I was told it didn't seem likely as management asked for far too much.

[Bonehead> Clapton]

Jamie T maybe for Saturday?

Good Shout!

[SwedgeAntilles]

the info I can place the most trust in for Chems is telling me that they'll be Sunday.

I'm not saying that's right, btw, just that in theory it's more likely to be right than other things I've heard.

Cheers Neil, great news

The Strokes on one of the other days (excuse the pun) would be excellent.

Upper stages of the Other Stage line-up looking monumentally pedestrian this year. At least so far.

[Hugh Jass]

Weren't they meant to play the secret slot last year and couldn't get there in time so Kaiser Chiefs stepped in? Could be a vicious rumour but that's what I heard

Wouldn't surprise me at all, seemed odd that the secret act was one already playing that weekend so they probably did step in for someone.

Good Shout!

Just as a balance against Kanye, it would seem a good contrast.

Hi as i said in my previous post, i met the Vaccines last night and their lead singer said they are booked onto the Other stage for Friday night. I dont think they're big enough to headline but could be Sub / 3rd down?. Apart from that, not a clue....... Just throwing out a random thought, has anyone considered if My Chemical Romance will reform? if they did would they be headliners?

Even if they did I don't think MCR are very much a Glastonbury band. They were a bit of a guilty pleasure at Reading a few years back though.

I hadn't considered it.

Hmmmmmmm........

I have now considered it.

Would they be headliners?

No. They are shite.

Id be watching Jamie T! need a good excuse not to watch Kanye!

wasn't it Lorde who dropped out?

Nah, Lorde innit.

If that was 2011, I saw them at Leeds and they were pretty lifeless, and that was probably a better suited crowd to receive them than Glasto.

[TheWineguy]

Tom Jones got a band?

[SwedgeAntilles]

Echo and the Bunnymen and James are both playing shows over the summer. Either of them a possibility?

[pentura]

Nah, Lorde innit.

Don't know how true that is but thought I heard it onsite last year too

One of those Talisman ones in case he has a fall and they need to know which meds he takes??

[kingcrawler]

On a side note, who do we think/know will be headling Other on Fri/Sat night?

Someone posted on here a couple of weeks ago saying Rudimental were headlining the Friday.

[kingcrawler]

Hi All

I've been following this thread for some time now, but this is my first post - so please be gentle with me! I met the Vaccines last night at the Rugby Tavern in Holborn London- the lead singer Justin confirmed they are playing the other stage on Friday. Obs they're not big enough to headline, but possible sub or 3rd down?

Yeah sub or 3rd down would fit. I could even see them being the secret act opening the Other stage that day but doubt he'd have told you if they were. Edited April 10, 2015 by kingcrawler

Sure they ruled themselves out at the NME awards

[gluther]

I think it was. To be fair i went to see them with incredibly low expectations and they surpassed them. Do agree that they're more suited to R&L than Glasto.

.... Talisman ...

hey, don't take their name in vain ... live from Glastonbury Festival, just for you...

[kingcrawler]

Yeah they did

Nobody needs an excuse not to watch Kanye!

Hahaha! I take it all back!

Other stage was so good last year with so many brilliant bookings. Hoping it surprises me as rumours so far are not appealing to me!
