Kylie

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Does Bestival book headliners as exclusives?

Not usually, but if Kylie is headlining BST & subbing Glastonbury I can't see her headlining Bestival as well.

[FloorFiller]

yeah she definitely wouldn't do both, as i imagine she'd be considered the 'big draw' headliner and the other two would be acts you can / have seen at festivals quite a lot

[FuzzyDunlop]

Id think her doing BST means she is less of a draw for Bestival already.

More likely to play at an already sold out glastonbury rather than - Bestival trying to use her as the draw, even though another event has previously been announced surely?

considering she's actually around at the time of Glastonbury definitely makes her seem more likely for it, yeah. she came to the festival just to appear with Scissor Sisters so it's about time she got her own slot

She's already had one. Can't blame the organisers if she didn't fulfil it.

Has Kylie's appeal really dropped that much over the last ten years? Yes her new material doesn't sell so well but surely the same could be said for Fleetwood Mac / Eagles / Rolling Stones / Madonna etc etc.

I think she could headline. I also reckon she probably still feels there is unfinished business which would mean she'd take Glastonbury over a big payout slot. And ten years since she was due to headline feels like a good way to complete the circle.

can't exactly blame her either...

I still think she'll swerve Glastonbury & end up headlining Bestival. The reason being I can't see her being very high up the Eavi's list of priorities, if she was she'd have been rebooked by now after having to pull out in 05. Where as I imagine Rob Da Bank would pull out all the stops in order to get her to headline Bestival.

Of course I could be wrong, the massive tv publicity that Glastonbury has to offer could be more enticing to Kylie than the money RDB would throw at her.

I'd agree with this. Doesn't seem any different to any other years she's toured.

except that she's in the country at the time. and i think the whole 'ten years since she was supposed to headline' thing might be seen as a nice time to have her back. could be wrong but it just seems like a good opportunity

[FuzzyDunlop]

I'm not too fussed about seeing her, but one of our party is a massive fan. Been to see her a lot and would definitely want her on the line up.

I'd much prefer her to Swift + Florence. I doubt I'd be at the Pyramid. For my mate, I hope she plays though.

True, but Outkast played Wireless last year (& didn't even headline) but RDB was still kean to book them.

[mrtourette]

No, but you said 'it's about time she got her own slot'. It's not like she's been overlooked in the past or been hard done by, she's been booked to headline.

[FloorFiller]

Bestival and Wireless are hardly rival festivals (much like Bestival and BST) so i don't think it mattered at all (or would matter this time)

book her again

[FuzzyDunlop]

Maybe, but Outkast hadn't been around for ages and probably wouldn't be again. I'd guess Kylie could be booked in 12 months time?

The 'in the country' thing is bogus as it's the weekend before and she probably is a resident here, and was certainly in the country in 2010, and would be in the country if Glastonbury booked her to play at any point since she pulled out. We did all this last year when she had an album out and a tour announced.

okay, she's PLAYING in the country at the time - which she wasn't last year, or any of the previous years. it may not be a definite 'she's gonna be there' but it's more likely than it has been for any of the previous years since she was supposed to headline

[LondonTom]

Meh, would be ok I guess, something I'd go see if there wasn't anything else on I fancied

[themuel]

I'm just going to leave this here... Solid gold disco for a Sunday night on the Pyramid?

It would be BRILLIANT.

[Matt42]

I think she'd be a perfect sub underneath an indisputable headliner.

She's big enough to headline (if they marketed it right), but really she's one of those acts that's in-between a headliner and a sub. So I'd say stick her under neath an undoubtable headliner and it'l work.

[Woffy]

Here V go again...

[eastynh]

Here V go again...

I would love her to be at V

Fave Kylie tune

Can't mention Kylie without taking the opportunity to up this

[Bisque]

Is that Kylie song Your Disco Needs you real?

[Gucci Piggy]

can't see them having something as obvious as two big female pop stars back-to-back (as much as i'd drool over such a prospect). Kylie as a sub would be brilliant, but i'd expect she'd be under somebody not-so-obvious (who, though, is another story)

Elton John.

[FloorFiller]

Elton John.

yeah i think i mentioned in another thread that he'd be an obvious choice. what a camp end to the festival that would be
