Headliners 2015

[Wooderson]

Admittedly the dates from Macca make him more likely than yesterday but it's still hugely remote. Maybe he's keen now his bezzie Grohl is playing.

How do they make him more likely? His only European festival show is Roskilde...To me that rules him out.

Yeah thats a shout. Special guests always rumoured for the Foos show!

Regarding Macca, I'd love to see him in a smaller venue playing mainly new stuff. And "New" stuff.

Christ, I'm glad I saw him when I did. The setlist we got was wonderful http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/paul-mccartney/2011/manchester-evening-news-arena-manchester-england-63d10e5b.html

Same when I saw him last in Dublin. Unbelievable setlist. And actually a better gig than Glasto.

Good. Another Glasto headline show would be pointless. His voice is very hit and miss these days too.

SNL a few weeks back.

Good grief. Shame, as he can clearly still play.

Makes him no more or less likely in my opinion. "Only festival show in Europe" isn't exactly binding.

[The Nal]

His voice did warm up as the song progressed in fairness. I suppose at 72 years of age the vocal chords need a bit of time to get rolling.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is there a Macca presale on his homepage? There was on his last UK tour, but my browser here won't let me near the place.

[Wooderson]

I don't have much truck with these exclusivity statements. Could be interpreted as "mainland Europe".

Password will be emailed out. I'll try for a Libpool ticket.

Macca would be one of the worst potential headliners for me. His voice seems to have deteriorated massively in recent years. Can't see it being a memorable performance .. Regardless of the obvious hits and legendary status he would bring.

I'd actually rather it be somebody like Florence or Swift.

[stokelad84]

Metallica are announced as an exclusive every summer. But they always seem to appear at other festivals...

"presale coming soon".

I hope he doesn't play. I don't want the memory on 04 of walking from The Rutles down to the Pyramid spoiled.

And it'll be the same (ish) setlist anyway. Not sure if I could hack another "ok just the fellas" sing-a-long for Hey Jude.

Hmmmmm.

Macca's vocals are a dealbreaker yet Florence gets a pass.

See an ENT specialists urgently.

Another vote for Florence from The Nal so.

[Wooderson]

With hindsight the bookies had an inkling.

I wouldn't go and see Florence either ..she's not my cup of tea.

But she's at least relevant and deserves a shot at headlining in my opinion.

I'd save Macca until his farewell tour which I assume won't be too far away. At least it would give some meaning behind the booking.

[JoBalls]

Have we ruled out Bruno Mars? He's not rumoured, he's certainly big enough, and he's not rock.

Also wasn't he rumoured for V, which clearly he's not doing now?

Agree with this yeah. Needs something fresh attached to it. Either a load of new material or a farewell or something. As opposed to him just "playing the old hits" again.

Good Grief! We don't need to make this thread any worse, its bad enough

[CaledonianGonzo]

OK - the website presale starts at 10am tomorrow.

Thankfully I'll be at a PC that doesn't run a decade old version of IE....

no, he's not big enough.

he's a 3rd last on the Pyramid act, maybe sub in a weak year.

he's a 3rd last on the Pyramid act. Lily Allen level.

Nah. As mentioned, was being discussed as a potential co-headliner for V and headlined Wireless last year. He sells out arenas in a flash, Lily Allen plays academies. Edited March 6, 2015 by Zac Quinn

Let him stay at V or Wireless then.

Christ you'll be touting for Iggy Azealea next.
