Headliners 2015

[monkey1989]

on the gf website it says lineup will be announced nearer to the festival whereas it used to say announced in spring ? Spring ends like June arghhh

[Earthwindandfire2205]

As it appears we are all going to have a lot of time on our hands before we get a final announcement here's a little exercise to get you thinking.

Put the following in order, most likely to least likely to happen

Madonna headining this year

Led Zeppelin hl this year

Florence hl this year

Florence hl any year

Hell freezing over

Prince hl this year

Prince hl any year

Pigs flying

Glastonbury 2015 winning an award for best customer service prior to festival date

Torquay winning the Premier League

As someone that lives in Torquay and watches them I really can assure you that Torquay will Never get in the Premier league , championship or league 1 ! We are shocking!

It's my time to shine again.... Says 'FULL' line up. The full line up as always been released in June.

I'm thinking of changing my signature to this.

Best guess at min would be they will release the line up after ETC, giving enough time to plug the band.

They will get the press and publicity for the winner. Then release line up a bit after that. People won't take much notice to a new band if they have a list of 100s / 1000s of established bands playing the festival

Wow it has certainly got a little heated in here this year ! Not exactly the Glastonbury vibe I remember from previous years. Hopefully it will sort itself out.

As for the lineup being released. Yeah it would be great to able to sit and spend hours hunting through it to find little gems you can't wait to see. However who really cares who's playing in the end, it's Glastonbury we all go for not the bands.

The great Basement Jaxx or Ian Brown debate of 2005!

Not close, obviously, and despite being up to my knees in sticky mud, Brown's set that night was a top ten (maybe top five) Glasto gig ever for me. It might have been number one if he hadn't been yanked off stage as Mani played the opening bass line for I Am The Resurrection

Sorry am I confused or you? Mani was with the Scream in 05 not with Brown and The Scream over ran prior to the Jaxx on the Pyramid and got kicked off after Mani played a few notes of I wanna be adored......Bobby Guilespe was in top notch petulant form that night...

He's as much of a mess as I remember. Knew there was a reason I left 15 minutes in.

He was fucked before the stones too

[bennyhana22]

Been busy since mid-afternoon, getting ready for Mrs Ben and me to go to Paris tomorrow where she's running the marathon on Sunday.

Anything happened?

Obviously that's as close to rhetorical as a non-rhetorical question can get, given the nature of this beloved thread.

Ben

[sinhala]

Hmmmm - some strange new threads ?!?!

It was a top gig from where I stood. Love a bit of petulant Bob

She's (well, I'm!) hoping for about 4h40m...she is 46, you know! Second Marathon for Mrs Ben after swearing never again having done London 2010.

I'll report back afterwards!

RODNEY BRANIGAN - He usually plays Small World Stage on Wed or Thu. Great introductory dose of 'music' on the first few days before the weekend begins. Terrific showman and cracking bloke. Btw he also sings and he often plays a really cool rendition of Kanye West's Golddigger and Radiohead's Creep.

Mani came on right at the end of Brown's set to do IATR and they pulled the plug because they'd over-run. It was all that kept the set from perfect.

Scream that year were amazing! i'd forgotten that. Cheers.

Jesus! I have no memory of that what so ever. Hence the confusion! That Sunday was a session and a half....
