announcement

Really?... You miss all that about the petition against him playing then?..

What's that got to do with him headlining the other stage?

[broccoli]

I had tickets for Wolverhampton (and my hotel booked and paid for) but couldn't make it. I was gutted. Was it a good gig?

Aye it was brilliant to be fair, a perfect set list with nice amount of lesser know songs like Sing and Trimm Trabb. I think they've got a lot of material they could use to refresh their set if they did play again, drop a couple of Parklife tracks in place of On Your Own, Pop scene etc.

That petition definitely didn't suggest he'd headline the Other Stage.

[CJTM]

Same gap as Coldplay headlining 2005 and 2011.

Arctic Monkeys had a 6 year gap too right?

yep

[incident]

Nah in 2004 Muse were headlining the 2nd Stage at TITP opposite The Darkness, and in 2010 they were selling out multiple nights at Wembley Stadium.

And in 2009 Blur were on essentially a greatest hits reunion tour after a few years away, whereas now they're an active concern plugging a new album. I wasn't saying that nothing changed for Muse/Coldplay between their appearances, just that it's false to say that Blur are in the exact same position as they were in 2009.

The whole "change of status" thing is bollocks anyway - Glastonbury has repeated so few headliners over the years that to try and draw a pattern is meaningless.

[DeanoL]

If it's Blur they'll be doing something that I don't think they've done in the last 20 years: repeated a headliner without an obvious change of status.

REM 99/03

As for why not bump up Florence, maybe she can't make the Sunday, maybe they need a strong draw in her current spot for crowd reasons...

Madmark is fucking brilliant. I love this guy.

[George_92]

are Tame Impala likely to appear still? The Coachella set looked amazing

which has little to do with him fitting on the Other or not headlining the Pyramid.

some people don't want him playing because he's a tw@t

[The Placid Casual]

some people don't want him playing because it's cool to hate Kanye

haha! make me laugh so much! I said i doubt it would be blur headlining, if they do then fine! I said if blur were to play which i doubt then i think it would be on the other stage as i do think there is a bigger name they are going to announce! And all i mentioned about a vicii is does anybody think it could be, i never said it was or i thought it was FFS!! haha!

[Zero_Newnab]

I think Avicii headlining is actually more likely than Blur to play the Other Stage. In many years, if he's still relevant somehow, that is. He has to get in the queue behind Daft Punk, too.

[The Placid Casual]

haha! make me laugh so much!

The feeling's mutual my friend

I'll get the ciders in haha!

[CJTM]

Very, very random but if RATM were to appear at Glastonbury, would slot would they get?

[Keithy]

You and Keithy don't count.

Why am I getting dragged in to this?

They've not got any European dates announced around Glastonbury so I'm leaning towards them not playing. Then again, they don't have any gigs at all for the majority of June and July so it could still happen I suppose.

Other headline. I've been wanting this for years.

Because you both like suggesting massive acts for the Other Stage

[Keithy]

Eh? Think I've only ever talked about The Stone Roses and without rehashing those old discussions, ultimately that's just a debate about whether you think they are massive or not. Iconic yes but massive? And that was around the time it appeared we might be looking at a pop act like Madonna/Swift on the Pyramid slot and me wondering where they might fit in the SR if they were to play as an alternative to the pyramid pop act.

I was gutted to miss it tbf. But I'm still not convinced with them headlining again - Id rather see something ive not seen before. Although technically ive never seen 'Blur' as a whole but I'm kinda over them

I'm a mass of contradiction

[Madmark]

Didn't Iggy Pop play the other stage?....

Would be great if they got a slot.
