Biffy Clyro

Fleetwood Mac

Can't pin a 3rd but I'd say provided new stuff will be about, if The Roses don't do it next year then they won't.

I have a feeling Thom York isn't too fussed anymore, I think he recognises the 2003 is held in high regard. Taylor I think had the perfect opportunity to do this year, the only thing that makes me consider her is that maybe wouldn't have a wider appeal that maybe she could gain this year.

Thought this'd be the case. Good news.

New album out in 2017 for the fallow year. We dodge him headlining until at least 2020

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh happy day.....!

I have a feeling Thom York isn't too fussed anymore, I think he recognises the 2003 is held in high regard.

I bloody hope you are wrong. Part me of agrees that Thom probably feels that way but I doubt the rest of the band do. Colin for example after 2011 was quick to highlight just how much he and the band's enjoyed playing that year. If the new album drops early 2016, I think 13 years is more than enough to make them consider delving once more unto the breach.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Thought this'd be the case.

Haha, yep, you were the first person I thought of when I read it

[Alan_C]

Could part of the reason in him not being keen about headlining (if he isn't) that he has no interest in playing the type of setlist that a Pyramid headline slot would need for it to go down well with the masses?

[chrislfc]

I can't have it being Fleetwood Mac as much as I would like it to be.

Why would the money be right next year if it wasn't this year?

Plus they'd be knackered after touring for over a year around the world and Stevie Nicks has apparently said she's taking a break from the band after this world tour.

I think their ship has sailed after two years of dropping out for various reasons.

I also wanna throw in Wham! for the Legends slot

Wouldn't surprise me to be honest. Although maybe Burt Bacharach can kick off an annual Saturday afternoon alternative legends slot.

There's been a Saturday legends slot since 2013!

[Winslow Leach]

Looking back, you have a point, but it's not been an official thing, has it? Burt Bacharach was only booked last week.

Tho if he, as suspected, replaced Van Morrison..

Oh, i missed this speculation. Ignore everything i have said for the last few posts.

[Ipayne]

Muse

Lady Gaga

Queen + Adam Lambert

We can't have Queen twice on the line-up..

[Andy0808 v5]

Can't see lady gaga ever headlining. Especially after her last album flopping more than Dick Fosbury.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Quite right. Her time has long gone.

[Matt42]

Remarkable how much lady gaga fell from superstar into an act that's only really supported by their fans now...

Guess it shows I can happen to anyone!
