Headliners 2015

[michael eavis' beard]

Only prince could fill a 2hr 30 minute set slot. It would suit him down to the ground. Last minute. Saviour of Glastonbury.

 

SFA were touring a 2hr+ setlist last month - just sayin'

[Little Andy]

if I told you vaguely 6 months ago that Foo Fighters will NOT headline and Coldplay will NOT headline but The Who WILL headliner - what would you say!? Its been mental this year - and its not over yet!

[Justiceforcedave]

Nope.

[ltfckimbo]

ONWARDS TO PAGE 2000! YES!

Although I think it's sorted everyone https://twitter.com/beanstoast/status/610926291949371392

In all seriousness it would be a pretty damning (albeit maybe unintentional) statement not to bump Florence unless she has reasons not to step up. Remember Emily's words at the NME awards "she's not headlining but she could" - prophetic if you ask me.

I think the real issue is finding someone to fill 2.5 hours. Although it wouldn't take much shuffling to sort out I guess. Also in looking at options for a bump to the Pyramid I noticed Everything Everything have a criminally short set.

Edit: unable to use new twitter thing so hyperlinked

Talk is cheap. We already know the initial Sunday headliner didn't work out and they still looked elsewhere. Edited June 16, 2015 by ltfckimbo

Stick mothership on the pyramid and let everyone fucking party.

Nah, I'm guessing flo won't want to headline after a bump up as it lessens the moment of her headlining when it does happen. So a new replacement will come in, the obvious ones are albarn or Martin to 'rescue' the festival... What ever happened to that supergroup??

Weirdly this has got me quite excited.. And I like the foos

[Comfy Bean]

Jagger left quite a few tunes out the other year.

[Gnomicide]

And it's a warm welcome back to the dearest of threads.

[wilem]

I love this thread

[cartonio]

Don't think I can handle another Prince week-long drama at the same time the weather thread is getting serious...this is a tough Glastonbury

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Every time someone says "Martin to headline" or similar I get terrible visions of Mr Ashford doing the headline slot in his Taylor Swift dress, terrifying.

[donshakey]

I'll take Rain 4 Prince

[LondonTom]

I don't believe this thread will ever die, during the festival we will actually all have a memory wipe of Friday night so that speculation can continue forever

[Fivefingerjohn]

MON THE BIFF

[LadyP]

Probably impossible but first time I've seen this

Don't shoot me down - there's been worse suggestions!

[paulmuchmore]

Muse playing Sweden, too.

 

Also just thought, surely at this stage, programmes and t-shirts etc. will be printed with the Foos all over them?

[Fivefingerjohn]

I remember someone once said the third and final headliner will be announced when this thread gets to page 2000. Just saying. Spooky

Florence could not fill 150 minutes. The sit says a new headliner. Glastonbury set a precedent for booking replacements, rather than bumping up sub-headline bands.

Only prince could fill a 2hr 30 minute set slot. It would suit him down to the ground. Last minute. Saviour of Glastonbury.

There's some unsafe assumptions being made here. Who's to say the replacement has to have 2:30? There's no reason why the times can't be shuffled around as appropriate.

As for there being some kind of "precedent" in not bumping up acts? Bollocks. There's just as much precedent of acts being bumped up as there is for replacements being found - Basement Jaxx were bumped up in 2005 to replace Kylie, people have already mentioned Ash being bumped up previously.

[wozwebs]

AC/DC are free, playing Glasgow on the Sunday. Would fit the 'Rock Band' type although weren't they dismissed because of the drummers antics?

[sheffieldlady]

Just swap the headliners around - tell Kayne he is OK to add some rants to his set....

Maybe he could headline Friday AND Saturday?!

Got to feel for the festival though - what a nightmare they've had with headliners this year!

Booooooo.

[WS_Jack_III]

People saying Flo won't want to be bumped up to headline.

Of course she will!

[donshakey]

Would be good to keep secret until they're due to come on. Big surprise for everybody.

I would love it, ME would like it too! But social media pressure will probably mean that it is announced well in advance
