I suppose it’s been long enough since Radiohead headlined that they could do it without a new album, but I reckon them in 2016 is more likely.

But they were matching beige pants, vest (tucked tightly into said pants) and socks boring last time they headlined the Pyramid. I had to leave after a few songs to go back to the tent for an early night after that. Having said that the acoustic performance of Karma Police up in The Park in '10 was a full on special Glasto moment.

Thommy and Johnny (I did enjoy his loopy guitarring on West Holts this year) should give the elbow (the not very good one with Lippy Kids on it) to the others in the band as they're obviously the dull ones that bring the mood down and just do the big sing-a-long ones themselves. In the Sunday legends slot if Billy or Barry can't make it. Now that would be good. They could wear their denim shorts again too to show us that they're here to have some fun.

Brian Johnson has just let slip they're playing Hampden Park and Wembley next year on the local news when being interviewed.

Is this an exclusive? If so it's got to be the first music exclusive local newswomen Pam Royal has ever broke!!

Oooh I play in a shit band called Radiohead and i'm really edgy, let's keep a pointless 'H' in my shortened name just so people know how edgy I am. Fuck you TOM Yorke.

Anyone but Radiohead, that goes for 2016 and all following years as well.

I know right? I heard this one time he put v.3.0 in his name. Talk about pretentious eh???!1! LOL!!! #epic bantz

Looks more like sub-headliners, or Other stage headliners to me.

To you. Bookers of other festivals see them headlining main stage.

I picked my 3 other stage headliners

Royal Blood

Weezer

Moby

All are stronger than those IMO

None of those are/will be strong enough to headline Other.

The weakest I would have ever seen at Glastonbury.

Also how does the Pink Floyd album put them in the frame? My head says, obviously, it will not happen but my heart says it is almost nailed on!

Id say Moby could if Massive Attack still can.

Royal blood waa a curveball. The album might bomb... Im suspecting it will be very big.

Anyway - headliners

Prediction:

Fleetwood Mac

Rihanna (I know... Its a prediction, not what I want)

Radiohead

Hoping for:

ACDC

Radiohead

Bowie

(I know my hoping for wont happen)

Yeah, I think Moby could. Wasn't that long ago he headlined the Pyramid, was it?

My guess would be Foo Fighters/Fleetwood Mac/Foals. All the F's. And fine for me because I'd miss all of them.

I had never heard of the foals til this thread. Ive had to find them on youtube... Meh

I don't get the Royal blood hype, their songs are alright but nothing special. QOTSA have been doing the same thing, only better for years.

Yeah, watched some of their set today and I can see why people like it. Just not really my bag. People are getting a bit ahead of themselves with headlining other next year though! see how the album does first. Although I do think that these BBC sound of whichever year things are a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy - bands get put on the list and then hyped beyond belief by the BBC djs so that the prediction comes true. Just look how much bumlicking George Ezra gets from the BBC djs...

AC/DC would be great, a band I'd love to see at a festival but wouldn't pay to see on their own turf..abit like Metallica. I'd guess with them it might depend on if they are willing to cut down the show/theatrics a bit to fit on the Pyramid?

Looks more like sub-headliners, or Other stage headliners to me.

Biffy are major festival headliners in the UK now, 100% and unless their next album bombs, they will either not headline and do other festivals or headline Glastonbury in that year.

Florence is on the edge and depends on well the album does but is in the frame to step up.

Foals, are a big album away so yeah probs Sub/Other stage headliners.

I picked my 3 other stage headliners

Royal Blood
Weezer
Moby

:lol: Ridiculous statement and only Moby would headline Other. There is practically 0 chance of Royal Bloody/Weezer headlining the Other if all goes to plan.

I had never heard of the foals til this thread. Ive had to find them on youtube... Meh

Ignorance is bliss I guess. Didn't look much at the 2013 lineup then?

Are The Strokes potential headliners? Topped the bill at a couple of festivals this summer and did reading not too long ago. If we are mentioning the likes of Biffy Clyro and Foals then surely The Strokes have to be in with a chance. I still think Is This It is one of the best records this side of the millenium.

I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw Vampire Weekend somewhere on the bill either.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
