Headliners 2015

[jonodillieono]

Thought my hopes for P***** were over then! All this Tom Waits talk though has now got me thinking he would be great for West Holts. RHCP's have dates in Europe and are free from 22nd June. Can see them possibly headlining the Other Stage. Still hoping Primus will play seeing as they are in the UK at the right time and will be free. Doubtful I know but I'd love it.

This is terrifying if true

no chance. i know it was supposed to happen with Metallica last year, but RHCP are a festival headliner or nothing

Yeah I guess you are right. I can sort of see them headline Other like Metallica were going to before getting bumped up. For me they are both about the same as far as 'size of a band' goes but I'm not sure if they they would be up for it as I guess they would only see themselves as Pyramid headliner or nothing. Mind you, they once did a mini gig infront of the old BBC building so maybe they would do Other. I just don't know anymore... Beach Boys to headline!

Just realised my mistake. They are not on tour. It's the Pipers. Maybe they will headline!?!

The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

Solitary company?

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Rises above a nature reserve / area over 200km away despite having it's own nature reserve to rise over...just like a far smaller mountain in a different continent doesn't.

Genius, Winslow, genius.

Are you Charlie Brooker IRL? My mind automatically imagined him saying this.

When are where are RHCPs touring? I cant see anything online about it

Bollocks. Got confused with those Pipers...! It's been a long day...

For you maybe sir. Personally, I'd quite enjoy seeing them again. It's been a while.

So they aren't touring then....

[sime]

Yeah just re-edited my post. It's Pipers that I saw not Peppers. And to ad to my fuck up I posted an incorrect link. I'm on fire!

Anyway, I'll stop posting crap now and go have a veggie burger.

Let me just check with Konnie, Lawn.

You wish.

You wish.

Meh.

Could be an exciting week ahead!

Still thinking Depeche Mode. Any reason to rule them out?

not touring this year and only just came off a tour last year

[Zero_Newnab]

Depeche Mode would surely prompt further amazing Facebook reactions, but instead of "Kanye's a prick!" it'll be "Who the hell are Depeche Mode?"

I'm all for it. Get 'em booked, Emily.

[captainmuscles]

Get 'em booked, Emily.

Admittedly it's been a few years since I've followed Glasto closely, but is Emily in charge of the whole thing now? Last thing I knew it was just the Park that was her baby.

Michael is still involved but Emily does the majority now, I believe.

Depeche mode are a fucking beautiful band but they aren't big enough to headline Glasto anymore. Think they are probably other stage headliners now... They need darkness right?

too big for Other / i don't think they'd go for that. they're another band who have a huge cult fanbase but would go down like a lead balloon to the casual viewer. last year seemed like the closest we were gonna get but then it didn't pan out - i don't see it ever happening now

[kingcrawler]

Sure I read earlier that one of Depeche Mode has a solo album coming out so that just adds to them not doing anything this year.

[dentalplan]

Whether they're big enough or not; they would still headline Glastonbury. It's likely that they were lined up to headline last year before they pulled the plug on all their festival appearances.

Emily and Nick are involved in the running of the festival and booking the Pyramid stage, but most of the other stages/areas are completely booked by other people.

Michael seems to be involved in the organisational stuff but very little with the music side.

I'm not so sure about that. I'd be staggered if Michael doesn't have a major say in at least the Pyramid headliners.

[ghostdancer1]

from Emily's previous comments it seemed like he barely even knew who was playing, let alone had any role in booking them.

[Matt42]

How in touch with modern music do you think Michael is? Do you think he's even heard of most of these new big bands?
