Headliners 2015

[hurdy]

Can't you get a refund up to some date in May anyway? So as long as they release the line up before the refund deadline, then there shouldn't be an issue...

Exactly

[Fivefingerjohn]

So who's still in the running then?

Stone Roses

T Swizzle

P*****

Radiohead

Kings of Leon

Ed Sheeran

Madonna

I think it could be noel. But I'm expecting an underwhelming headliner

[wilem]

In this day and age surely announcing over easter isn't really a bad thing?

Big media outlets still output.

The news doesn't stop due to it being easter.

In fact, it just means more people are at home on Social Media

[WS_Jack_III]

Doesn't Glastonbury have impact whenever they announce anything big?

but people accessing the news certainly does.

The 'net has its quietest days of the week on Saturday, and then Sunday. It tends to dip even lower on bank holidays.

[Gnomicide]

I've just been sent a text with a presale code for Def Leppard and Whitesnake! Its a sign I tells ye!

'Ere's a song for ya!

I've copied this forward as I have never been able to quote between threads. With thanks to Brave Sir Robin for 2013, I did 08-11 way back and have added 14. This is only the official stuff mind.

Let the over analysis begin!

Tbh it looks like they are moving towards a mega reveal over the years rather than drip feeding. I wouldn't hold breath for any official announcement until March at least. But then it is awards season soon - someone usually blabs!

For morph100. Sorry to keep reposting but it seems popular and useful.

There is evidence for everyone's reasoning here though the rule does seem to be after the balance deadines.

[Alan_C]

Remind we why Monday wouldn't be a good time to announce, if we're discounting tonight and Tuesday because of the England matches?

[Badlands]

Happy to wait till May like 09 if they can match the lineup quality they had then.

GOAT.

[Mr November]

It's not April. They said April earlier in the year. They said April earlier this week.

April starts Wednesday.

[hurdy]

April starts Wednesday.

BUT WHY WON'T IT BE MONDAY?

[Jamesthedrake]

Just saw that New York Brass Band confirmed they're playing Glasto on Facebook. Maybe bands might be able to start announcing stuff now?

[eFestivals]

hey, we've not had a headliner prediction lately...

.... and cos it's playing on 6music right now, how's about....

ABBA.

(hey, it's about as possible as many of the other suggestions )

FFS.

[Hugh Jass]

Kind of feel this thread has wound down a little after the craziness of Wednesday.

Everyone take the weekend off and come back Monday morning fresh and raring to speculate wildly.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Next week is going to be utterly unbearable.

[Fivefingerjohn]

What happened to the diana Ross rumours

[Avalon_Fields]

FFS.

FFS

....will be playing!!!!

(Franz Ferdinand & Sparks!)

[giantkatestacks]

I bloody hate ABBA. Irrationally and totally.

[st dan]

ABBA will be the biggest booking the festival has ever made when it (eventually) happens.

[FuzzyDunlop]

If there is no announcement before balances are paid off, I suspect quite a few "first timers" will not have bought their tickets.

[mjsell]

What happened to the diana Ross rumours

Lionel Ritchie, Diana Ross, Prince on the Sunday?...

Actually where would Diana Ross play? Headline?

I think this may be their intention.... ?

What happened to the diana Ross rumours

That was just the middle of a chain reaction.
