Headliners 2015

[Likearollingstone]

If it's KoL or The Killers now it will be almost as anticlimactic as when the Olympics started.

Are you confusing the Olympics with the Commonwealth games up in Scotland last year? Now that was poor.

Now the Proclaimers on the Pyramid subbed by Rod Stewart couldbe the answer ...

A lot of this article points to glastonbury being pink floyd's "one-off" reunion show.

Especially with it being the 40 year anniversary of 'Wish You Were Here', the 30 year anniversary of Live Aid which Michael Eavis/Chris Martin/someone said it was something to do with, and the 10 year anniversary of Live 8, their last performance. Who knows.

why would they want to play glastonbury after the treatment they received in 2008?

And like that, the circle was complete.

It was seven years ago, maybe bridges have been built, fences mended and other construction related metaphors?

Biggest festival in the world and the only one that has real tangible links with charitable organisations? Don't kill the dream russy!

It's really plausible, their last album was about the death of Rick Wright, and wouldn't it be part of his whole 'swan song' for them to play Glastonbury in memory of him, just like he wanted?

Why has Prince been discounted? Is he playing somewhere else? All of this secrecy points towards him for me. Also the June 1st embargo, he's the only artist who's insist on that isn't he?!

no, he doesn't insist on it from what we've seen before, that seems tobe yet another "Prince myth". he has announced gigs months in advance many times before.

he does, however, often like to book or agree to shows with little forewarning, so is often only announced as playing gigs a few days or weeks before they happen.

as for Emily's "band" comment, I suppose if you want to be pedantic, it could be Prince and 3RD Eye Girl, or whatever group he is being billed with recently...

e: of course, Emily said pretty categorically it wasn't him, so it's almost certainly not him.

you dont build bridges by pulling out your prick and pissing all over a dying man's chips.

Personally I think Pink Floyd fit the description perfectly, js

If anything as a band renowned for holding grudges, I'd say that's more of a stumbling block.

Oh God! Those quotes from Nick are what originally got me so excited before Christmas about Pink Floyd and Glasto, now I have been revisiting them every month or so to see if anything else can be understood from them. It's making me very stressed.

Don't forget this, Nick Mason, 9 October 2014:

"I think you certainly begin to feel that if there's something you've missed doing now's a good time to get on and do it now."

Of course, it is NEVER going to happen. Is it..?

[alframsey]

If you're genuine, which I've no reason to believe you aren't, then you're the first person I have come across to believe the same as me regarding Glastonbury and Pink Floyd!

I feel like the one eyed bird off Futurama who find another one eyed person for the first time!!!

[Mouseboy11]

I didn't even realise Floyd were still a thing, don't Waters and Gilmour hate each other?

Michael Eavis/Chris Martin never said the Glastonbury headliner had anything to do with Live Aid. Neil suggested that Michael's comments about the headliner being 2 acts and Chris Martin being involved, might be related to Chris Martin's Global Citizen initiative.

I am leaving the library now to go home and listen to all my Floyd LPs.

[Acid_Haze]

They definitely fit the bill of being a 'big one', as vague a statement as that could be.

I know I sound like a broken record, but am I still a silly fucker for still holding hope it will be Pink Floyd or something related? In my heart of hearts I know the answer

I am still very much clutching my straws that are marked "Pink Floyd (possibly reunited with Roger Waters)"

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I'm here for the love Zac, not the numbers!!!

Well thanks all the same

Anything less would be a let down.

The Floyd goes against the info Neil had about the delay being due to having tickets to sell.

Gilmour has (had?) to sell tickets for solo shows, I know RAH have sold out but what about European shows?

[parsonjack]

OK...not wishing to put a downer on the Floyd thing but Glastonbury coincides with Goodwood Festival of Speed this year...at which the enitre Mason clan including wife Netty and daughters Holly and Chloe are regular visitors and/or competitors.

[ghostdancer1]

i don't think they'd hold out until June because of European shows tbh, very little crossover....

Seeing as Nick has always said he'd be up for another Floyd show I'm confident should Gilmour and Waters check their egos, Nick would be more than willing to miss a day of Goodwood

I reckon that was a cover story for "Dave and Roger need a month in a room together to see if they can stand playing with each other"
