Headliners 2015

[brettredmayne]

It will be pretty much the same set as 2007 , really can't make sense of this. I actually think florence/nghfb would make more sense as headliners then the who

Me too

[brettredmayne]

Sure the band would open themselves up to some legal action as well. You are a who fan and paid for travel and accommodation In Paris.

You then find out out 28 days before the gig the band are rearranging to fit in a festival.

Hardly the most classy act for a band that size and would rightly be criticised

If the band are waiting til june to announce so that they can sell more tickets for BTS it is a disgrace.

So it's ok to fuck about with 6000 paying customers in Paris is it? Morally that's wrong.

I am disappointed in the Eavis' for giving the go ahead (if it is true)

[Withakay]

Ugh. This better be a wind up. Horrible heritage "band" (or should it be duo) who played just 8 years ago with very little chance of a different in setlist, bugger all influence on the current music scene and who can't even sell out their own show even on their last ever tour. If they cancel on their own fans in Paris why the hell should we have to put up with them?

I think we will get a statement about this soon as the people who have Paris tickets will quite rightly want a statement

[Avalon_Fields]

I cant believe it is true, the Who would lose lots of goodwill if they knew for a long time they were not going to fulfil their Paris commitments without making an announcement.

[Franky]

It doesn't seem likely. If it's not though surely The Sun will be up for some legal action from The Who and Glastonbury ?

[s30foster]

Bit off subject but...I like reading which festivals etc people have been to under their comments.

It's why we will probably now hear before June 1st about this if it is true. Anyone with Paris tickets will demanding a statement.

[math125]

If it's plausible a band would cancel an existing gig to headline Glastonbury has anyone mentioned AC/DC?

[Wooderson]

Would leave a bad taste in the mouth. The Eavae getting bands to cancel sold out shows?! A new low.

I was at the show in 2007. Heaviest rain for a headliner I can remember. Appalling weather. Still doesn't justify them fucking off their fans in Paris.

I wonder if they could get the foos to change the day they are playing. They are playing wretcher on the Thursday and have no gig, after Glastonbury, until the following weekend, it will also give daves voice a rest. It might free up another act then.

[Wooderson]

As the clock ticks are we expecting a denial or confirmation from Emily? She was trigger happy enough in the past...

Of all the huge mega-acts that've played the last decade or so, The Who are bottom of the list of my "longed-for returnees". Hugely disappointing stuff from Worthy HQ.

[Splatt]

Underwhelming enough to be true. I believe it.

The Who are playing Hyde Park on the Friday. Could maybe swap with kanye though.

No harm in denying it if it's untrue but if it is and there is a clause in the contract delaying the announcement surely she can't comment.

Think if it is true the who will be forced into a statement now

[toto]

If they move the Paris gig a couple of hours earlier and say finish it by 8:30(7:30 UK time), would that be enough time to fly back with a helicopter?!

The article didn't say anything about cancelling, there are other ways to "rearrange" a gig...

[eFestivals]

She's generally not very quick to kill off a wrong story, if she deems it worth bothering with to kill it off.

There's an awful lot of stuff that goes around that never gets commented on by her. I don't think you can read anything into it if she doesn't comment.

[Wooderson]

"Sorry to all the Paris fans that had booked travel and accommodation! We just really wanted Pete 'n Wodge. Awks!!!!!!!????"

I just can't see it from her, Soz.

Glastonbury don't have to have asked that though. The band may have come to them. After that, it's not up to the Eavii how they arrange their schedule. From a cold hard cash and publicity point of view it could make sense to the band and their management to risk the wrath of 6000 who they're never going to sell tickets to again.

Personally I'm not bothered whether it's them or not but it fits all the clues we've had so far

Not Necessarily for the who, but another act. Though without looking back, I can't think who has the Friday free apart from swifty.

Couple weeks back we had Chris Martin and Nae Doubt creating a aural longdrop on the Pyramid Stage. We know nada.

[Martin Ashford]

I won't comment on the ethics of cancelling a gig to play Glastonbury. What I will say is that the set and accompsnying visuals for this final tour is stunning. I saw them in Cardiff and even though they had to cut out a big section from Tommy because Daltrey was unable to perform, I had already seen the most mind blowing show and tribute to their former band mates. I will be absolutely made up if this news is true. It knocks spots off anything they have given us before and will go down as one of the greatest Glastonbury sets ever.
