I reckon ES will sub next year tbh. If BMTH can then ES can. They'll never do better than subbing though; and I think the only places that would ever allow them to sub is Leeds; possibly Download.

That wasn't relevant to my point at all.

I'm saying we won't have two brand new headliners. I don't think they'd book that. I think if they did they'd have to have a ridiculously strong third. A lot of people will see Flo (maybe less so now shell headline Glasto) and FOALS as weak headliners

Flo's current tour isn't even selling as well as I thought it would, although I haven't checked since the other day

 

2015-Mumford & Sons and Libertines new

2014-Queens and Paramore new

2012-The Cure and Kasabian new

2010-Arcade Fire and Blink new

2009-Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead new

2008-Rage and Killers new

2006- Franz, Pearl Jam and Muse new

2004- White Stripes, Darkness, Green Day all new

2002- Strokes, Foos, GnR new

2001-Travis and Eminem new

 

All new headliners but if you want to change to your point to no two weak headliners in a year then that's an even longer list.

Rage headlined in 1996 (my first year...)

Can't see Enter Shikari subbing, it'll be 3rd down or nothing and because they like playing the festival it wouldn't bother them if they really wanted to play. I would have said Jamie.T had more chance of subbing this year if I'm honest.

You can only include it as a 'new' headliner if their 1st time bump up. Calling Radiohead new in 2009 can't really be done, might be the 1st time for them headlining R&L but they aren't a new headline.

Well apparently that doesn't count as the original example contains Flo who's headlining Glasto.

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
