Headliners 2015

Could it not be Weller slotting in 3rd down and Alt-J subbing like we originally thought? Dire either way.

[Matt42]

Shitting hell did Glastonbury not have a top two for the sunday until last month? As i'm guessing the Who and Paul Weller was a package deal!

[kingcrawler]

A few years ago I'd have been really pleased about Weller playing but thankfully I'm passed that phase. Quite a poor booking for a sub, not sure what he's done since he last played to make him move up the lineup.

That doesn't really fit Emily's "penultimate" comment but Alt-J are more deserving of a sub slot than Weller.

[Mardy]

Likewise Flo into Foo is the same as Werchter the day before. It's almost like acts partially agree to festivals based on who is playing before/after them.

There's always been an element of record companies/ whoever saying 'If you want this band high up on your bill, you need to take this band lower down too'. Not saying that's happened in this case, but it definitely goes on.

I don't think it was a package deal, and there's a story there of what is clearly a replacement booking to be told.

If I get the full story, I'll share it with you.

"The conditions are disgusting aren't they?," he continued. "I don't know how people can... I mean, you'd have to be off your box to stay there for three days wouldn't you?"

"I'm not a big lover of festivals at the best of times, I like proper gigs… and it's just really corporate now isn't it?"

[Withakay]

FFS has Weller cancelled a Sunday gig now as well? When I was 15 I might have lapped this up but the whole Mod army thing really makes me cringe now.

[adamg1602]

I thought Weller was garbage in 07... It seemed like everyone was chatting through his gig. Play the album fillers at your own gigs, festivals aren't your own crowd.

[mandolin]

Weller seems pretty underwhelming for a support slot? Is there anything special that could be going on?

That's exactly the conversation I was just having with Mr Mandolin! While I don't mind Weller (though don't own any of his music), him subbing just doesn't fit somehow.

[mr gumby]

Sounds like I'll have the pyramid field to myself if it is Weller then. Never had the chance to see him. Just hope he plays plenty of classics, and not too much off his shit recent albums.

interesting, thanks.

Apparantly Weller is on Parlophone, can't find anything about The Who being but Blur are, so i if it was/is a 'package deal' I wish they'd 'insisted' on Blur instead. Grrr.

No gig on Paul's tour dates for the sunday

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

although the number is probably minimal, you'd be furious if you chose to go see The Who at BST instead of going to Glastonbury. pretty sure there was a guy on here saying he was gonna leave on the Friday to go to BST with his dad and then come back on the Saturday morning, although not sure what happened there, or if he even got a ticket

That's Tom Wells, he hasn't got a ticket yet, I tried to help him in the resale but it had sold out after I had spoken to him and put his card details in etc

[Wooderson]

"We're so very very lucky to have Paul and The Who play our tiny insignificant garden fete..."

Blah blah fucking blah. Emily turning into the Brendan Rodgers of festival doyennes.

[Jamesthedrake]

It just doesn't really fit in with any of their other info we've had, particularly the tweet from Emily. I saw Weller fairly recently and he was great, but his set was stuffed with album tracks that I didn't particularly know. I just can't see how he can deserve to be so high up the bill.

Good for him then!

ah i thought it might've been him

This was his TITP set last year. You can probably add 3/4 new ones in to replace some older singles but I reckon it will be fairly similar.

[Withakay]

All we need is Ocean Colour Scene, Miles Kane and the Strypes on the lineup now. Get your lambretta tshirts at the ready.

[Vanderlyle]

Got to say, I wasn't too chuffed with the line-up when first released - this hasn't helped at all.

Might actually go and see Kanye. I quite like at least one evening at the Pyramid but, dear god, Pharrell before him???

Actually, Weller/Pharrell/Florence, has there ever been a worse trio subbing Pyramid?

The Strypes are ace.

Yes: Fratellis, Kooks, Kaiser Chiefs

Edit: Kasabian, not fratellis. Either way...

well that's incredibly underwhelming if true

what happened to this supposed live date he already had?

He's moved it to Paris too.
