Other Stage Headliners 2015

I think bands like Tool, System of a Down, Faith no More or Sonic Youth would go down well as a headliner for Other stage on maybe sunday night

SOAD, SOAD, SOAD, SOAD!!! SOAD at Glasto would be immense!!! Tool would be awesome as well!

This is the problem with Matellica playing Glastonbury, now nothing is out of reach or beyond imagination. If System of the Down ever play Pilton I will lose my mind. It will never happen, but then I said that about Metallica.

Headliners for Other next year I will go;

Alt J

Chemical Brothers

Kraftwerk

Seen SOAD twice in past three years and they are sounding better than ever. If they had new album out I'd say Pyramid but for now Other stage they'd rip it up

Yeah, they really sound incredibly tight and clear live, yet really really penetrate the crowd with the heaviness from their tracks.

I do believe that SOAD are the best live act in the world today, but I am very biased.

Metallica I still can't quite beieve it actually happened.

SOAD would be excellent. I don't think they'd headline Other, second from top probably. If Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins don't headline Other, SOAD don't headline Other.

SOAD are a headline band and have headlined nearly every festival in Europe including rock in Rio which is the biggest in the world. When they didn't headline at Reading/Leeds it wasn't right as they were so much better than anyone else.

If Metallica were happy to accept Other Headliner at one point, SOAD will take whatever they are given I am sure.

They subbed GN'R at the Brazilian one, and they're particularly metal mad there. 'Headlined nearly every festival in Europe' is pretty far off.

Not necessarily. The band are almost entirely money motivated and wouldn't miss out on Download or Sonisphere to stick in a performance on the Other Stage at Glastonbury for much less than their regular fee.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
