tezshields Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Don't think he's ever played Glastonbury. He's been playing live almost non stop since about 2007 now though and would be perfect for a headline slot on the Acoustic Stage or an afternoon slot on the Pyramid. Think back to Willie Nelson a few years ago. As for Supertramp, he fell out with them when they reneged on a gentleman's agreement to not perform his songs at their live shows. They still play his hits and they form about 30% of the set which is a shame really as Rick Davies has some great songs himself and Mark Hart who sings Roger's songs is a woeful singer. Hodgson has started playing festivals too and does have a Glasto shaped hole in this summer's schedule. I'm crossing my fingers in hope. That is a strong shout. Those dates run with 1 to 2 days in between dates. A very suspicious 3 day gap during the big weekend. I'd put money on it. My mate decided against getting a ticket for this year's festival and he will be gutted if his name appears on the lineup. Massive Supertramp fan.

Bonehead> Clapton Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Jamie T maybe for Saturday? Good Shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 the info I can place the most trust in for Chems is telling me that they'll be Sunday. I'm not saying that's right, btw, just that in theory it's more likely to be right than other things I've heard. Cheers Neil, great news The Strokes on one of the other days (excuse the pun) would be excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Upper stages of the Other Stage line-up looking monumentally pedestrian this year. At least so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Weren't they meant to play the secret slot last year and couldn't get there in time so Kaiser Chiefs stepped in? Could be a vicious rumour but that's what I heard Wouldn't surprise me at all, seemed odd that the secret act was one already playing that weekend so they probably did step in for someone.

alibobbin Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Good Shout! Just as a balance against Kanye, it would seem a good contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluther Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi as i said in my previous post, i met the Vaccines last night and their lead singer said they are booked onto the Other stage for Friday night. I dont think they're big enough to headline but could be Sub / 3rd down?. Apart from that, not a clue....... Just throwing out a random thought, has anyone considered if My Chemical Romance will reform? if they did would they be headliners? Even if they did I don't think MCR are very much a Glastonbury band. They were a bit of a guilty pleasure at Reading a few years back though.

They were a bit of a guilty pleasure at Reading a few years back though. If that was 2011, I saw them at Leeds and they were pretty lifeless, and that was probably a better suited crowd to receive them than Glasto.

kingcrawler Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 On a side note, who do we think/know will be headling Other on Fri/Sat night? Someone posted on here a couple of weeks ago saying Rudimental were headlining the Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Hi All I've been following this thread for some time now, but this is my first post - so please be gentle with me! I met the Vaccines last night at the Rugby Tavern in Holborn London- the lead singer Justin confirmed they are playing the other stage on Friday. Obs they're not big enough to headline, but possible sub or 3rd down? Yeah sub or 3rd down would fit. I could even see them being the secret act opening the Other stage that day but doubt he'd have told you if they were.

I think it was. To be fair i went to see them with incredibly low expectations and they surpassed them. Do agree that they're more suited to R&L than Glasto.

Andy0808 v5 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Other stage was so good last year with so many brilliant bookings. Hoping it surprises me as rumours so far are not appealing to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
