Headliners 2015

[russycarps]

He might be announcing he is finally releasing his book on his research.

Great stuff. Just what the world has been crying out for, a thoroughly researched book to tell us the best way to download child porn.

Other Stage headliner gets about an hour just like the other two days doesn't it? still too short, mind, but don't think it's any shorter than for the rest of the weekend

Is it really always so short? I thought it was just the Sunday, maybe starting earlier makes it feel shorter, dunno. I had a look on Clashfinder and it seems it's around 1:15 each night, but some years the Sunday is 5 or 10 minutes shorter.

[Mardy]

is it only just over the hour and a half mark? I dunno, because I've not seen many, but Springsteen semed to go on for years. Felt like he started sometime on Saturday evening and finished on about Tuesday afternoon.

[Badlands]

Bruce got longer than usual I'm sure, maybe 2.5 hours.

Played 'til 0039 and earned Eavi a £3000 fine for over-running the curfew by 9 minutes.

he also had a knock on effect where i was in the dance village, where everything was quieter than usual because "bruce has all the decibels"..

even when avoiding him, i couldn't avoid him.

It was lovely in the JP, like a private performance iirc

I contacted venue in Paris about the who date being cancelled/rescheduled and they said no info on their side about it. Guess they would have to say this tho.

Have dates defo being changed or is that just media speculation?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

In a recent online interview Madonna was asked if she'll be playing any festivals this year to which she replied 'maybe' & then winked, she then went on to say how much she liked performing outdoors in parks & big open spaces.

Gives me hope that she might headline one year.

A new date has been added on the 30th June, but no dates have been cancelled/changed yet.

Something is happening, other dates were all sold out?

[Mezhyp1]

I'm far too tender and emotional after that fucking preposterous weekend to come on here to find someone questioning people going to watch Hot Chip, I'm flabbergasted and quite frankly upset by said stupidty

[Gnomicide]

Shock sighting on the election campaign today...

Really hope The Who is a smokescreen and its Madonna this year, but it's looking like its 98% chance of being The Who now.

[klipper]

Such an overreaction. A band you don't like so overwhelming criticism. If a band you liked did it you wouldn't care less.

Furthermore you choose to watch hot chip. Hot Chip!

I think if The Who do headline it'd be a great night.

Foo Fighters

Anyone but Kanye, probably getting pissed at a beer tent

The Who

Go and see The Moody Blues. They will be brilliant

[Martin Ashford]

It is the best they could have hoped for, far more realistic than fantasy world stuff like Bowie, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who are still on top of their game so will put on a great show

Spot on. You will not see a better live show at this point in time.It is a Who fan's dream come true and I only got to see part of it.

[tombertb]

haha didn't mean to upset anyone! Apologies.

So when do we think we'll get an announcement?

[Martin Ashford]

For the first time since AC/DC were a no go for Glasto i feel excited about the festival

If The Who is just a smokescreen for fucking Taylor Swift i will not be a happy bunny

The Who are one of the few acts that can adequately fill her slot (now then, now then)

no mention of Muse - have they been totally ruled out?

He's giving a special guest reading of it in the kidz field Sunday afternoon

Gigs get cancelled for business reasons all the time, and usually for reasons far more trivial than this. It sucks for the folk in Paris, but there isn't some sacred and inviolable contract made between a band and their fans when a concert is arranged that The Who are now guilty of breaking. A month's notice is a little tight time wise, but it's plenty more time than plenty of other cancellations that happen on a daily basis.

Sure, but the flip side is I know plenty of acts that just wouldn't do it, because they have a different attitude towards their fans. Doesn't make the ones that do evil, but some certainly set a higher bar.

Turns out they're headlining Bestival, weirdly.

[Martin Ashford]

IIRC it was about two and a half on the current tour.

I saw them do Quadrophenia in Hyde Park yonks ago and was hugely disappointed (unsurprisingly I guess).

I got dragged along to the Birmingham gig last November at a few hours notice and was rather astounded at how good they were. Daltrey's voice was still ace, the rest of the band were tight. Stage production was superb including a cleverly inserted solo from the Ox.

And they were very, very loud.

Thanks for posting this. I quite enjoyed that Hyde Park show myself but the current Who is all about going back to their roots. Pete hasn't played this ferociously in years and they have regained a bit of the old us against the World attitude. If they are on it will be a loud and spectacular assault on the senses.
