Headliners 2015

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Big fan of the idea that Foos, Kanye and Prince is a weak set of headliners - trolololol

On Radiohead, I can't see them playing myself, they strike me as a band that for a big show like that would really want to have everything aesthetically right, would they have enough time to do all of that as well? If they're doing some recording sessions for the new album between now and then they could probably squeeze some rehearsal time in but a full headline show? Probably not.

Foo's, Kanye and Prince. I might just be getting my refund ready at this rate. I think it's fairly weak for glastonbury's standards but I just hope they do what every other UK festival have done. Relatively weak headliners but the rest of the bill is amazing.

I've just spluttered a cup of coffee all over my desk, weak?? That's probably one of the strongest festival headliners I've seen in as long as I can remember

Il absolutely have 2 of whatever you have been taking because it must be mega

[GlastoSimon]

I said Radiohead way back at like page 200.

Radiohead are mentioned on the OP to be fair, all those pages ago

[Guest]

Kanye, Foos and Prince rivals 2011's trio in terms of megastarness, fair enough if none of them are your bag, but it's massive.

Are u on crack?

TBF Prince would be the only reason that would not be considered a weak lineup for a very many folk.

Lets not forget that so far there is a significant amount of people who are extremely underwhelmed with the announced headliners..............

[morph100]

What genre would Radiohead be classed as? I still think its a Pop based third headliner

[Perks]

My guess is that it's either Prince or someone completely out of the blue that hasn't been mentioned yet.

That. or it's Hobo Jones.

Ah good old Hobo and his junkyard dogs..never a more deserved headliner I reckon.

[craigyb31]

Who's tomorrows rumour going to be? God I wish the line up would hurry up and be announced so we can be put out of our misery

[Djb.com]

It's opinion at the end of the day. For me it doesn't do much for me, for some of you guys it might be the best thing ever. I know it's not a weak lineup, you've got some pretty massive names that would make a strong lineup as there is every year but for me this isn't one of them

it hinges on the final headliner really, as for many there's still a lack of a 'huge' name that we've had in previous years. with Prince as that huge act - very strong trio. huge name, big commercial rock act, big hip hop act. without Prince and with, let's say, Florence - Foos are the huge name, big hip-hop act, step up headliner. you can see how the final headliner changes the outlook on the trio as a whole

[ghostdancer1]

everyone's going to be so disappointed when the lineup has Ed Sheeran flying back from the US the day before to headline, with "very special guest" Taylor Swift there for one song only.

[Mr November]

I'm now wondering if that when I was told Flo was subbing Foos, it was a cover for the fact they couldn't say they were subbing Prince. This leads me to great concern that he pulls out/doesn't sign up and we're left with her headlining.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Baffling as I find it and as grudgingly as I accept it, I can just about force myself to ignore accept that Wee Davie G and his Fighting Foos are not as unpopular as they deserve to be.

[kalifire]

I'm bracing myself for something less than Pr*nce/Radiohead/Swift. Very difficult not to get excited though.

Shit's getting intense. Every day is worse.

[cornish hick]

Heard the foos on radio 1 this morning (which was a surprise) but the dj goon then said "that was the Foos and before them was Florence" so Florence to sub the Foos - its a sign!

4 F's Florence & Foo Fighters Friday.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

In the wider world, outside of these hallowed boards, they are still absolutely huge, which is baffling

maybe she's headlining all along and this is a big ruse to deflect attention?

I'm with you here. She's creeping back in

[bucklemyshoe]

Genuine question - do people actually see Foo Fighters as a 'strong' headliner? I'll watch them, and I'll probably end up having a good time, but for me they're a little more of a Reading & Leeds-y type of act. Am I completely off the mark?

there's nothing particularly exciting about them - but they're a huge worldwide act who have managed to evade headlining Glastonbury for a long long time, so i guess for a lot of people that's a big deal. obviously they've played everywhere else a lot, but not Glastonbury

[craigyb31]

I thought we'd heard that all 3 headliners had been signed up already

Fear not for the unpopularity is strong where I'm at.

I simply do not get it

[FloorFiller]

if this is the case then it makes Emily's interview all the more strange (although Florence being there all together does that, as she claims she didn't know what she was up to)

I think it's just this thread
