Anyone think The Strokes are a possibility at all? I'd love that

 

Surely they are in the running? Playing Hyde Park tomorrow and rumours that they may be packing up soon so maybe a last minute Glastonbury headline could be a last hurrah for them??

 

They are almost undoubtedly not big enough to headline it any more these days but in these circumstances I think they could pull it off.

 

Would certainly be a bit lacklustre to many but I would love it, their fee is probably half of say AC/DC as well

See this is my fear haha, because I have a feeling i'l come out of 3-4 years of uni and not want to do an extra year..

 

Say that after your 3 years at Uni. I considered doing a masters just so that I could still be a student for another year.

Just going to make you my councillor for a second

Bit down at the moment as I'm coming to the end of my A2 exams, and pretty much all my mates have already finished and my last one is on Friday (day before blur at Hyde woo) but yeah it just sucks because everyone else seems free and I feel like I have a ball and chain around my neck :(

Sounds mad but foos pulling out increased the size of the ball :(

 

Bro i've still got 3 exams, including Law, if that makes you feel any better.

You'll come out of Uni having loved it and want nothing more than an extra year.

You'll come out from studying English Literature in the depths of an existential crisis so profound that you'll probably never get anything done again. Its all a bit like this:

In fact, that looks eerily like seminars I had...

One more Law Exam (I've done two) want to do English then probably a conversion to Law at uni so it's pretty important! I've worked hard though so I hope it works out well :D

Disappointing, but understandable considering how late this cancellation has come.

I'm sure she'll put on a cracking show. Good luck to her!

Interested to see if anyone else fills in below, or everything just starts late on the Pyramid. Flo surely won't be doing more than 90 mins.

So did anyone actually predict this lineup of headliners from the start? This prediction from the first page is pretty damn close, just got the oldie wrong in the end!

 

the predictions don't really count for a fill-in situation tho, do they?

 

Cos that would be a bit like saying "I predict Dave will break his leg so the foos won't be able to play".

One question Neil, and you're best placed to answer out of most. Do you see the Glasto/Reading Foo's sharing thing happening next year?

 

I'm fairly sure, although don't quote me on every year, that a Glasto header (generally goes onto play Reading the following year, obviously using Foo's as the original in this instance).

Of course they don't count, just thought it'd be quite cool if someone had predicted those three!

Predictions on next act to drop, so we can keep this going? :P

I could easily see Kanye being refused entry to the country after an extreme bout of air-rage aimed at a steward that asked him if he liked fishsticks.

" It might not be, the end of the world but it always ends in tears with the ginger girl "

colonel mustard and the djon 5.

 

 

Feels like about time I made my apologies to Florence and her Machine- ists.

 

So it turned out she got the gig and for reasons unknown I ended up sitting high above the Pyramid in June on the Friday night.

 

Past the first few rows of tents at the back of the field I ended up heading further and further up the hill, past the toilets and up to a row of burger vans than I didn`t know were there. Ended up shooting the breeze on a bale of hay with a guy who owned one of the vans in a wee teppee next door to it.

 

The sound up there is clear as a bell and better volume than I would have expected. Great view of the lights over the site and Florence was doing her thing. We were watching her on the big screens while chewing on a tasty burger.

 

Anywayz, the fella went back to work and I was left sitting there sipping on a much needed coffee and then this song " happened ". I`m far from a fan of Flo and her machine or the Foo`s but when she knocked this out the crowd were with her word for word. 

 

Turned out I was was well wide of the mark. She earned her chance by working her way up through the stages and she looked to have the time of her life. Fair play to her. It didn`t end in tears.......... for the ginger girl  :)

    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
