Headliners 2016

[Space Shanty]

What about Black Sabbath?

Next year is going to be their final tour, I imagine they'll probably end up doing Download again but I think they'd be pretty good as a Pyramid headliner.

 

They probably would.

Maybe a bit too geared towards an out and out rock festival but it would be a good show.

 

I have probably missed them being ruled out for some reason but according to a lot of media coverage this week, this is AC/DC's last tour and if so, they would surely be near the top of any list of possibilities.

The fact Lars Ulrich mentioned them suggests to me he may have at least thrown their name into casual conversation with Michael Eavis.

The world tour will be done and dusted by next June, there should be no scheduling conflicts and they could probably set the stage up as they wished.

On the face of it, there appears to be little in the way of it happening.

I'd love to see it

Sabbath would be quality. I'll make an boldness the exception for them.

Is there any news on that Foo Fighters thing?

Could well be more amenable to the idea when the money spinning world tour is done.

Not really, i'm still not convinced its a stick on. Still a chance that Reading have already got them exclusively next year.

perhaps this is a good moment to remind you who their manager is?

Why are people still saying the Mac?

It's the return of the mac, once again, return of the mac.

If Emily's right and the 2016 headliners are already booked, then it will be no Foos.

 

However, don't they say after most years they have booked all the headliners for the following year? And then events transpire that they are actually still booking headliners during the year? So can't rule them out for next year.

I think Ed Sheeran is a shoe in for next year

Nope!

 

Fantastic singer. And was even better when he got all fucked up and had respiratory/throat issues towards the end and sounded like a 70 year old.

Eddie Grant

 

his set at Glastonbury a few years ago was one of the best I've seen. If it was cheese it was top quality stilton, but I'd say it wasn't cheesy at all, just top quality.

[Purple aki squat]

Nope!

Christ. Weird how people hear things so differently. I honestly can't sing along with the doors without sounding like a proper pub singer. Especially break on through.
