Headliners 2015

[Wooderson]

How was Ed Byrne Neil?

[Gnomicide]

Paul Simon pissed off half the crowd with his opening words about feeling under the weather.

"Fuck off Simon! We've been ankle deep in shite since Wednesday, now get on with it!"

[eFestivals]

How was Ed Byrne Neil?

Who? Oh, you mean the comedian always referred to as Bruce in my house?

Less boring than Bruce.

Tho that's not hard.

[Matt42]

Haven't been on all day and was expecting something interesting oh well

[JoeyT]

Expect the unexpected my friend.

Beginning of April onwards is the time to start worrying.

[ClementsMike]

The Who back in the pot? Announced for BST on Friday 26th, I cant see 'exclusive' or the such anywhere....

They also have a gig on the Sunday (and Monday) in Paris. 4 nights on the trot with travel inbetween seems unlikely.

Weller though?

[Glastoboy]

Weller, Weller, Weller huh?

Tell me more. Tell me more.

[cidy]

i cant see it been macca ,i think these old timers do glasto and then cross it off their list ,saw him when he last played and enjoyed it as a one off and thats how it should be,

only one id make an exception to see again would be bowie ,

foos --rock fri

kanye ---- rap sat

taylor ----pop sun

three genres covered too keep glasto punters happy [ headline wise anyway]

fair play to em for keeping it secret this long no mean feat in this day and age.

hope im wrong on kanye and taylor tho

best kept secret since the who shot jr story in the 80`s

How about the hugely unpopular notion that the Kasier Chiefs are given the step up to Pyramid headliner, they are playing stadiums.....

It could only be Saturday, but that would mean playing four nights in a row as they are in Paris Sunday and Monday. Very unlikely

Stadiums? On earth?

[ghostdancer1]

i'm not sure supporting Foo Fighters at 1 stadium really counts....

[ClementsMike]

Id see them as a low rent support act these days, propped up by Ricky Wilsons celeb status, such as it is.

Or could they sub Foos since they're playing at Wembley with them (I think)?

[stuartbert two hats]

Battles were great and would have been better had their set not been cut to about 4 songs because of MGMT over-running.

Yeah, and their own massive set-up time. Takes a while to get that crash cymbal so high!

[gibble]

The Kaiser Chiefs are headlining Camp Bestival. Apart from anything else I can't see CB sharing a headliner with Glastonbury to be honest.

[morph100]

I'm just trying to lower your expectations, I think this talk of someone being given a step up will be someone smaller than mentioned previously in this thread....probably some questionable indie band and then a more established pop based headliner.

[Matt42]

I physically can not read this thread anymore if kaiser chiefs are being brought up as a suggestion... Even to sub!

Listen to yourselves

They really are now aren't they. Recent output from them has pushed them down festival lineups surely.

I must say though they are a decent live band who work well as a support

From you Matt42, that's comedy gold.

[feline]

And how about the Killers? Have they been and gone (in the thread, I mean)?

[M!!!]

Weller though?

Ah I did not know that, that's not going to happen then!

Ohhhh I'm loving the suspense this year!

[Matt42]

I know

But come on

Im suprised they are still doing as much as they do really. Intial album was fun, but its been a downward slide since then. Without the TV work boost they'd surely be doing small local events with The Fratellis and The Hoosiers?

[Chewie]

And how about the Killers? Have they been and gone (in the thread, I mean)?

I'm sure they've come up at some point

There isn't anything really to rule them out, but they haven't done a lot recently to earn a headline slot
