Headliners 2015

[Mezhyp1]

He was third down at T last year

It's hard to use T as a guide, Beyoncé didn't headline, but Noel Gal is, they have some strange ideas

[Bignews]

Weller was third down T last year as well...

Soo? I was just pointing out that he could concievably play third down, not that I think he will

[Matt42]

free gig apparently

Then easily things can be cancelled.. No one is paying to attend so it's not a big loss.

T's placings are not representative of Glastonburys though.. as they usually pay a bit more money to get bigger acts in lower places.

But if you look at Pharrell's tour across Europe this year it's top billing at most festivals, and i'm guessing anything lower than a sub would probably be too low for him.

Not for the Dutch maybe. Everyone in the Pyramid field seems to be losing out big-style though.

[SERRIDGER]

Weller into The Who, I'm ecstatic !!!

Even more so if the Pyramid stage isn't full of coked up Kasabian fans like last year.

[Fivefingerjohn]

I'd say Pharrell could easily play 3rd at Glastonbury. He hasn't even sold out the one arena he's doing in this country.

In fact I'd put him more 3rd than 2nd. Or other headliner. Suppose it's all individuals perspective

[TheNewUnion]

How sure are we on Weller?

[kingcrawler]

Yeah I think 3rd down is possible but subbing is much more likely.

And yet only yesterday, everyone was suggesting a T headliner as our sub, acts won't necessarily get the same placings at all festivals, my point was that third down was a possibility for an act third down at a festival with less TV coverage and prestige last year

I had a quick a look at the reviews in Uncut earlier, without buying it. Weller's new album got 9/10 - and I trust Uncut's ratings (as a guide, not gospel) more than most other mags/sites. Even if it's a good record, though, his more recent output is neither commercially sounding or successful. So if he goes with the "fuck it, I'm playing what I want to play" setlist, it's a terrible booking for the stage itself, let alone subbing!

[Gnomicide]

Pharrell playing Odgens, Nut Gone Flake in full.

[donthaveacoolname]

Townsend wasn't found innocent

Just a small but I think important point, in our system of law no one is ever found innocent, we all start off by being innocent and remain so until found guilty.

I'm not defending anyone ore anything and not commenting on the argument, just making a small legal point

[FloorFiller]

Van Morrison is supposedly third down isn't he? although I'm not sure him under Pharrell ever seemed likely really

[Bonneville88]

Remember when we said it would be Blur and Swift? Makes me wanna cry.

[Withakay]

about as sure as we were on Coldplay ; )

[Gnomicide]

Jimmy's going to be darn the frant orl facking die. Luckily, his mum's made him some sandwiches.

Being Dutch, let me explain me a bit more about Parkpop. It's indeed a free festival, but attracts lots of people. In 2013 there were 250.000 visitors. In the past even more then 400.000...

Paul Weller being one of the headliners will not 'just' being cancelled is my guess...

[home to you]

Aye, bad times. I should've learned this lesson when Kaiser Chiefs opened the Other Stage last year

[kingcrawler]

Ah yeah, forgot about him. Subbing it is then.

[Guest]

Is cancelling a fest the same as cancelling a gig? Might get a reputation as a welcher, and not get booked in future.

EDIT: Ha, Paul Welcher, wheyyyyyyy you absolute lads.

Just tried to look up Weller on spotify and his last four releases are "Classic Album Selection", "More Modern Classics", "More Modern Classics (Deluxe Edition)" and "More Modern Classics (Track by Track)". Bloke sure loves classics.

In his defence, he shifted quite a distance from the meat and potato rock of Heavy Soul and the like. I've not give it much of a listen myself mind, but he seems to get decent reviews. I played that 22 Dreams a couple of times, wasn't too bad. Hardly the sort of stuff I'd be seeing at the Pyramid on the Sunday mind.

We've moved on from that unpleasantness to a collective slating of Weller.
