Headliners 2015

[Wooderson]

How would a sold out festival benefit from him playing?

He is a big draw, but we've had The Rolling Stones in the past few years .. Who are on another level than Prince. That level of hype will never be topped.

It ain't sold out till after the re-sale.

[Woffy]

This whole situation has gotten so ridiculous on here now that i find myself absolutely gagging to see P***** walk onto the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday with a massive shit-eating, i-can-selfnosh, NER NER NA NER NER grin on his face...and i'm not even a fan. At all.

Well played GFL.

Well played P-Rinse.

[Mardy]

I'd rather have the line-up right now with someone terrible at the top of it than wait another second longer solely to satisfy Prince's over-inflated ego.

Then come the Sunday evening I'll be able to bask in the warm, satisfied glow of knowing that I got to open my Christmas stocking early and found a lump of coal in it.

CG, I love you.

If people keep comparing to Rolling Stones they are gonna be disappointed every year.

P***** is a massive coup for Glastonbury Festival. They need big acts to keep the interest for following years

In 09 was the poster released on a bank holiday Monday?

[The Nal]

It ain't sold out till after the re-sale.

You'd wonder what impact the no line up announcement and Kanye effect will have on people paying balances? Id love to see the stats so far this year vs last year or 2103.

[michael eavis' beard]

I seem to remember Leeds/Reading having their lineup reveal/ticket sale on easter monday in the past? Not 100% on that though

I don't think it's out of the question that they will announce over Easter weekend or during Easter holidays but it's a fact that less people read/watch the news between Friday and Sunday in a normal week and that number is even less when it's a Bank Holiday weekend.

The release of Glastonbury's lineup is the highest profile thing they do outside of the actual festival. They'll want it to have the biggest impact possible which, for me would mean waiting until after Easter.

[Spindles]

I wouldn't want to see such stats, likely they'd just be ammo to twats that start petitions justifying their tiny minded arguments.

[Woffy]

CG, I love you.

I was in a relationship with someone with only a meagre amount of CG's passive-aggressive-missives abilities and it was impossible to win an argument with them.

CG has refined that shit to a fine art!

Much respect.

Wow you time travel. I hope Billy Bragg was still playing in the left field at Glastonbury 2103

On another level, but I'd say Prince - as a festival headliner - is still on another level to most.

[eFestivals]

Sure I read michael eavis quotes confirming they had him

and what I have said about believing Michael...?

From a face to face convo I had with Emily a year ago, he was never going to do it.

i'm pretty sure that's not happened in the last 15 years since i've been doing efests.

[Callum_96]

After being so hopeful of something be released this wee,k for my own sanity I'm just gonna start believing that nothing is coming until the end of April at least. Still won't stop me checking on here every half hour

[Wooderson]

For a certain cadre on here there's not even a discussion.

Whilst the Stones was longed for, his Purple Highness performing is the culmination of something for Glastonbury Festival.

[not worthy]

Ned's Atomic Dustbin making an announcement on Friday

That must be it, they are the missing headliner and that must be the line-up release day

Nothing like this has happened before, I'd be so happy, that probably makes me very selfish. It is now spring so it fits from that perspective.

So it's Friday until you find out which if you wanted something today is less than useful

thoughts? who goes first

quiz - how many Ned's tracks did I manage to fit in there

[ThomThomDrum]

Id wait till he walks out on that Pyramid with the only thing bigger than his sunglasses being his grin.

What about that ego but? Surely that would be even bigger than the stage itself? Let alone that grin and glasses.......

[sime]

If Prince is acting like this .. I don't understand why they want him to play. Who's calling the shots here?!

Prince benefits from a Glastonbury performance more than Glastonbury benefits from a Prince performance.

I'd definitely benefit from a P***** performance

Much respect.

The horrific prospect of Baroness Florence of Machinery coming at me like a famished banshee through a plague-ridden peatbog is giving me a severe case of the Somerset Spooks.

Dont discourage a peacock from displaying his feathers.

The world is grey and dull enough mate.

[Mezhyp1]

I wonder what this could be about

@XfmScotland: I am the resurrection and I am the light. #3rdcoming

[ForgotBloodyUsername]

Got all over-excited then. Have one of those page checker things set at work, to check the lineup page every 30 seconds. And GOT AN ALERT THAT IT HAD CHANGED!

It bloody hadn't.

[Space Shanty]

The headliners on West Holts and Park have become much more of an interesting subject.
A host of quality contenders.

Could be looking at 2 stellar lineups on those stages again.

[Wooderson]

They *couldnt* name an album that could they?
