Headliners 2015

[eFestivals]

I thought as much. It's interesting though.

Not really. Its says absolutely nothing about the realistic possibilities, it only says "we're scared we might lose a load of money".

It doesn't mean they believe it's Coldplay, it only means that if it is Coldplay they stand to lose money on their Glastonbury betting market.

Their only belief is in the money they might make, and nothing about who might be playing.

[Wooderson]

that's pretty much a cut and paste of the paddy power press release sent out this morning - which is designed to get bets on other bands to cover off all the money which went on Coldplay last night.

Despicable, really.

[DomDom1984]

I actually think that Foo Fighters WILL do the Saturday. Nothing to base that on, other than a hunch.

I think that Emily ruled them out of the Saturday, and if she did I doubt she's telling porkies.

I mean interesting in the way in which Paddy Power have no idea and how NME will publish it regardless

[FuzzyDunlop]

I thought Foo Fighters would do saturday until Yesterday's news/

[alframsey]

Well to say I am gutted at the news Coldplay are likely to headline is an understatement, what a boringly safe middle of the road booking that is. Really has Eavis lost all his imagination?

[LaurieReid]

I think The Prodigy to headline (most likely the other stage) is a good shout.

Headlining Benicassim and there's been matches in the lineups past few years..

'14 Kasabian headlined both

'13 Arctics headlined both

'11 Streets headlined beni and the other stage I believe

[DomDom1984]

I didn't realise Foos had already been ruled out. So that surely means it's Coldplay then. Unless they have an absolute topper lined up.

[Gucci Piggy]

I think that Emily ruled them out of the Saturday, and if she did I doubt she's telling porkies.

Nah I don't think she did. We were discussing that not long ago, and the article made it seem like she'd said that, because it said something about Foos and Fleetwood being rumoured for the Saturday, and had a separate quote from Emily saying all the rumours are wrong (not in response to the Saturday thing, just in general).

[Alan_C]

If Coldplay were on the Saturday then The Prodigy would be a good alternative to them, but whether they would do that after being in Denmark the night before is another matter.

[Gucci Piggy]

I see the most likely trios as Foos/Coldplay/Flo or Foos/Coldplay/Swift now.

If it's the former I'd say:

Fri - Flo

Sat - Foos

Sun - Coldplay

If it's the latter I'd say:

Fri - Foos

Sat - Coldplay

Sun - Swift

Not sure if that's silly, it's just the way I'm picturing it ending up.

[simonsimondock]

I can't deal with this level of speculation any more, I just really need to know.

What're the current predictions please?

[simonsimondock]

I see the most likely trios as Foos/Coldplay/Flo or Foos/Coldplay/Swift now.

If it's the former I'd say:

Fri - Flo

Sat - Foos

Sun - Coldplay

Fri - Foos

Sat - Coldplay

I'm really not sure I like either.

[DomDom1984]

My own predictions are Coldplay/Foos/???

Taylor Swift subbing either Coldplay or the ??? act.

[dentalplan]

I respect eFestivals' info but Swift doing Sunday at all for the pittance of a fee/slot Glastonbury would offer on the one day between a clump of shows still seems kinda mad to me. Can't see it. Friday would make more sense if she was doing anything at Glastonbury.

[Alan_C]

It's looking like it will probably be a year away from the Pyramid for me. In 2011 I don't think I watched anyone there really. Primal Scream, Chemical Brothers and The Streets.

[Gucci Piggy]

Noel Gallagher's seems to get on with Chris Martin, surprisingly. Seeing as he's only available on the Sunday I could see a top 2 of Coldplay and Noel, with Swift being nowhere in sight.

Good weekend had then?

I'd take this.

[Mezhyp1]

Who all got a bet on Coldplay at a price then? It certainly didn't hang about long after the news broke on here

[Gucci Piggy]

What day was the paddy power odds for?

Saturday.

I'd have put a tenner on but I was out. Gah.

[Matt42]

Gonna betray the entire teamswift fandom

But this coldplay news kinda made me doubt the swift rumours a bit :/ simply because foo fighters, coldplay and taylor swift as a trio is massive... Bigger than 2011 imo, two proven stadium sellers and a hugely mainstream act.

The Prodigy also have headlined Sonisphere and Download, Download of which is the second largest festival in the UK.

Is a combination of U2, Coldplay and Beyoncé not also two stadium sellers and a hugely mainstream act? Agree about doubting Taylor, but that's just because I'm a pessimist Edited February 4, 2015 by Zac Quinn
