Headliners 2015

0. Sting's in Norway every night of the festival.

I was so tempted to buy tickets to Paul Simon & Sting in Manchester last night, I eventually decided it would be naff and £55 was too steep, now everybody I know who went is frothing about how brilliant it was. I regret not going.

[Hugh Jass]

I still have bad memories of Simon's set in 2011 to even entertain the thought of seeing him again.

'Sting' and 'brilliant' are not natural bedfellows. Must have been some gig.

I was soooo looking forward to Paul SImon in '11 - massive S&G fan for years. He was so disappointing, we left halfway through and saw TV on the Radio instead. Best decision I made that year.

I then shot myself in the foot by leaving TVOTR half way through to see Plan B (who at the time I was a bigger fan of) who was mediocre at best - worse decision of the fest. Finally returned to other to see second half of Eels who were brilliant. My smug mate had seen the entire TVOTR and Eels sets.

Paul Simon was ill at Glastonbury I think - could happen to anybody. Better that he braves on then doesn't appear at all.

I was tempted too, but I think we've made the right decision.

Sting singing america is the stuff of nightmares.

Bloody hell, is that time of year already?

It's Russy's annual correct post.

Yeah he was and I will forgive that, but the setlist was kind of flat as well. It was not awful by any means, but neither was it the highlight I was hoping for.

adam lambert would do a better job

[aidenlangan95]

If I had the money to go see Sting and Paul Simon, I would. But £55 for the cheapest seats in the O2. Too much!

True, my favourite Simon & Garfunkel song, I'd pay to not hear him sing it.

Could be worse, could be Florence.

Or Gary Barlow.

[Festival Liam]

First Aid Kit do a lovely America cover... would be lovely to see that (again, saw them in 2013) at Glastonbury this year.

You think Jack White seen us talking about his shambles of a performance last year...

After many years of performing in a multitude of configurations, Jack is announcing that he will be taking a break from performing live for a long period of time.

[Ipayne]

He's been near enough non stop touring with several of his bands since the White Stripes debut came out, I can't really blame him for taking a long break from touring.

Oh ffs where is that from?

[Bonehead> Clapton]

Im glad other people agree, as i thought he was massivley underwhelming and i was looking foreward to him so much!

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah he was naff. I love him and had been waiting so long to see him in any guise and was so disappointed. Then had to sell my ticket for his tour last year to someone I hate ughhhhhhhh.

[Bignews]

what's this now

[Guest]

I didn't really enjoy his Pyramid set last year, but his Leeds show in November was excellent. I hope he doesn't stay away for too long, I'd like to see The Dead Weather perform live.

[CHRLY]

I'm firmly in the minority that enjoyed his set last year, though most around me seemed to feel the same.
