Headliners 2016

[not worthy]

Iron Maiden

Radiohead

Taylor Swift

[eFestivals]

Who (not literally) will you be seeing, or rather what stage/area will you be at Sunday night Neil?

not sure - I'm hoping for something worthwhile on West Holts.

[zahidf]

Queen are not going to headline. Esp after the sonisphere issues.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The story is basically 'Brian May says Queen would play if they asked them and if the logistics pan out' - and that's very much dependant on the G asking them, which I don't think they would.

That Legend Slot, though.

[russycarps]

queen and lambert were brillia.......ahhh forget it.

Do we have our first Other Stage headliner for next year?

I hope so.

Oh yes please! Although they headlined a few small festivals last time they toured... are they too big for other headline now? Pyramid sub more likely?

That was my first thought when I read it too. Bon Iver, The National and Sigur Ros as our Other Stage headliners next year, it's happening!

I don't know if they'd work or accept Pyramid sub, I can only see them as an Other headliner. I saw them at Latitude and the MEN arena in 2012, it was by no means a full MEN arena, mind. At Latitude it seemed they were all anybody talked about for the whole weekend, Thursday and Friday was just Bon Iver build up, but it seemed like Elbow pulled a far bigger crowd in the end, maybe day tickets was the reason, I spotted a fair few celebs in Elbow's crowd, and I'm usually oblivious to them, so I think there must have been an influx. That Friday night was insane though, Lana Del Rey into Metronomy into Bon Iver, it was the stuff dreams are made of. I had hoped Justin might make an appearance with Kanye this year, but it's clearly not happening.

AC/DC

Taylor Swift

Radiohead

Speaking of which Lana Del Rey has new album in September, I know she played in 2014 but I'm bitter I missed her and I hope she returns very soon.

Also Bon iver would be a cracking booking and if it happens I hope to god I don't miss it. True music that's full of memories (for me) and makes me feel.

Excuse me I'm hungover and being very sentimental and the thought of Bon iver still being around is very very nice.

Loads of feels in a Bon Iver live show, if they play on the Sunday next year, there'd be floods from the people crying.

If at least one of those ain't headlining the Other Stage next year then I'm not going in 2017.

Pyramid / Pyramid subs:

Radiohead // Bon Iver

Taylor Swift // Disclosure

Biffy Clyro // Queens Of The Stone Age

Other Stage

The 1975

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Chase & Status

earliest and probably most unrealistic punt ever

[Mash011]

Would QotSA take a sub spot? Surely a headliner or nothing at this stage?

The stuff of dreams (except Biffy, they can stay away)

difficult. In all honesty they didn't truly headline reading, they co-headlined.

Very strange move that was. Surely Paramore and Queens both deserve to headline outright after all of those sub slots!

[dentalplan]

Biffy didn't 'truly' headline IOW last year then.

[Matt42]

Biffy didn't 'truly' headline IOW last year then.

But they headlined Reading and T so it's not comparable.

Well maybe not Paramore

[sheffieldlady]

Bon Iver into Radiohead would be amazing.. I want to get this year out the way before plotting next year (and the dread of T-day etc) I don't even know who I'm watching the Sunday night this year yet!

[Gucci Piggy]

But they headlined Reading and T so it's not comparable.

Isn't that kind of the point? The fact they headlined those show that they're an outright headliner, and their IOW placing suggests that co-headline slots are given to outright headliners.

[Gucci Piggy]

Biffy Clyro / Foals

Coldplay / Bon Iver

Rihanna / Kendrick Lamar

The National

Disclosure
