Muse

Fleetwood Mac

Ed Sheeran

I doubt it'll be Muse dude, they have their album out and Glasto get acts at the start of their touring if they are going to. I should in fact have put them in my reply to floor filler along with Blur and Noel to rule out.

Biffy Clyro

Coldplay

Radiohead/Fleetwood Mac/Rihanna

Won't be Muse on their second Summer touring Drones. Was gonna say AC/DC as well but it'd be the second Summer for them touring Rock or Bust, although as a heritage act maybe this is less likely to rule them out.

Coldplay are probably the one I can be most confident about, they've got a new album coming out eventually and supposedly it'll be their last so they'll want to be back. It's just whether the timeline of it makes it better for them to do it in 2016 or 2017

I don't think the thing about it being their last album is true but I still reckon they'll play. I'd be surprised if it's not out by next summer so they seem a good fit.

wish people would stop saying Ed Sheeran. i don't reckon he'll have a new album out in time - 3 year gap between his last two albums, and considering he's still touring x it looks promising to be a similar gap between these albums, so won't be ready until 2017, the fallow year. then he'll tour that for three years so can possibly headline in 2020, but hopefully not (all assuming Glastonbury stick with booking acts in the first summer they tour)

Just to add in, if FM don't tour at all next year and therefore aren't there, Coldplay would be my next choice I reckon.

Fri - Biffy

Sat - Oasis (Can't believe it's not TBC yet!)

Sun - Coldplay

These headliner threads have got me right back into Glasto. I might try for my first one since 2010 even though I'm far too old and fat for it.

Atfer bands being exclusives and booked in France, the next rules of logic to be broken will be that of Glasto not getting bands on their second summers and Glasto not repeating headliners within five years..

Mumford and Sons.

On a serious note.. Biffy on Friday, FM on Saturday; and whichever of Paolo Nutini/Ellie Goulding/Ed Sheeran has the most ridiculously big album out by then on Sunday.

    • I read the Kerrang review and they didn’t seem overly positive. The definition of a 6 out of 10.
    • Interesting the stat guys say 3 points and -3 goal difference is where it gets to 50/50 territory in terms of going to the last 32. If Scotland lose their last 2 at best they are on -1, play like they did yesterday and they could take a heavy loss.   However thinking about it positively get 4 points from the last 2 games and the group is won! Have heard a few saying Scotland should just park the bus next 2 games, but not sure they have the players to do it. From my perspective they could really do with a decent defensive midfielder to add balance, but not sure if they have one in the squad. They also need significantly more from Mctominay who I thought was poor, but understand he has been unwell.
    • Yup and they aren't all going to get them, some are going to miss out. Speaking of this, I met someone at RIP who went to RFP and his view was band wise it's value for money but it wasn't a festival itself he'd be rushing to return to. In fairness as well he probably liked more of the headliners there than me this year whereas I was more undercard and he wasn't returning.
    • Maybe Starmer's legacy will be a war with Russia.
    • How were GnR? Seen some videos and pictures and let's just say, the crowd to the sides at the front and in front of the sound tents were let's just say... Sparse compared to LB.
