Headliners 2015

[The Placid Casual]

they've been getting paid the biggest fee for appearing each year since about 1990.

'We paid for your hats, we paid for your hats. What a waste of council tax, we paid for your hats.'

I've got a further 4000 words of an essay to do for tomorrow morning, this could be a challenge

Good luck!

I was meant to go in to uni to meet my personal tutor and do some hardcore studying, but yeah nah...

Never mind you students, I have a job - an actual job where I am paid to do a particular type of work that does not involve reading forums about festivals. I am going to be sacked, my career will be ruined, and the quality of the rest of my life will be significantly reduced.

I BLAME EVERY ONE OF YOU.

Watching Blur's 2009 Hyde Park gig on YouTube at the moment.

Would be great if they were #3. Particularly if weather was the same.

Recap on the 3rd headliner mystery ...

Nothing new in here but at least it has got me 5 minutes nearer to the announcement !

From everything we have been told and that Neil has gleaned, it appears that it has to be someone that fulfills all or most of the following criteria :-

1. An act who is currently free to play on Sunday 28 June

2. An act who is playing in (or near to) the UK around that date.

3. An act who has shows around the time, either before or after, that have not Sold Out yet, or where they have signed an "exclusivity" clause.

4. Probably a British (or Irish) act (3 non-UK headliners would be a departure for Glastonbury)

5. It is not necessarily someone who the Eavii have been after for some time

6. It appears to be a recently approached replacement booking

It cannot be :-

Muse

The Who

AC/DC

It could be :-

Blur

Fleetwood Mac

Florence & The Machine

Yeah I think point number 1 is pretty key here!

I was employed last year and due to shift work and life in general I didn't even realise that mini-poster came out until about a week later. I don't know if that was better or worse.

The ninja story is brilliant.

Although he is technically stealing from Mr Eavis and I cannot abide that.

He did end up shitting himself though

highlights of the festival, aside from playing real life 'metal gear solid' all wednesday night, were '!!!', 'fat freddies drop', 'mr scruff' and 'square pusher' who was so good i actually followed through (although that could be attributed to the dodgy diet and copious amounts of pear cider i'd consumed) and missed a good part of his set sorting it out.

I have to say I agree with him that !!! were the highlight in 2007.

I'd never heard them before that Friday afternoon in one of the big dance tents but they were brilliant.

Saw them again somewhere else over the weekend as well.

Fat Freddy's Drop are excellent live

[Andy0808 v5]

My favourite story that ninja one. I pray it's true

[broccoli]

I'd absolutely love for !!! to play, I've loved them for years but never had the chance to see them live

Yes! Same here.

Apparently brilliant live but have never really toured outside of North America or the European Festival circuit.

[maelzoid]

That ninja story. Better than Bravo Two Zero!

I have a job too, unfortunately it is strictly against the rules to sit on my my phone while lifeguarding.... Not sure why

Absolutely, I can of course browse efests while ensuring most people don't drown, no problem

If they drown while you're on efests it doesn't count.

It's what they would have wanted.

does this logic apply to the person expecting a 5000 word essay from me tomorrow too?

What is the chance that Paul Simon + Sting could bring there weird (weirdly brilliant) collaboration tour to the farm in some form?

Apparently it is / they are strangely brilliant. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/apr/14/paul-simon-sting-review
