Headliners 2016

[CaledonianGonzo]

Muse, hovering in view like the spectre at the feast.

Avaunt! and quit my sight! let the earth hide thee!

Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold

"Co-Headliners" = Not AC/DC

Florence and someone?
although presume she is less likely with the hyde park gig announced 

[FuzzyDunlop]

When FM were announced for IOW, Glasto responded by announcing Lionel the next day.

Obviously that means nothing, but I am hoping Glastonbury follow IOW’s lead again

Wasn't that Michael that said that though? Which would make that hard to believe. 

Emily said in the recent interviews that 2 of the 3 headliners were signed up, and 1 a verbal agreement, you'd have to think Coldplay were definitely signed up, it could then be Adele left to signed on the line, whilst she makes up her mind if she's willing to do it? 

That would mean if the other was FM they could easily have been booked some time ago

They just make the most sense to me just now given everything that's known 

personally I'd say that the 3rd headliner (Muse?) are the least likely of the three to be signed up, as the process to get them on board started much later than it did for the other 2.

As a rule of thumb, I take anything the Eavi say with a grenade of salt. 

Never trust the word of Michael ... but I've yet to know of Emily telling a porkie.

Would you say just now you're more with Muse as the third headliner? I just can't get my head round Muse - Adele - Coldplah being the likely trio 

 

I'm interesting to see who IOW have co-headlining, could it be Foals? Would be a slightly more understated rise to headlining big festivals and still a step up from Bestival, wouldn't be shocked

Nah Reading will surely want Foals on an exclusive.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dream on, MacScruff.

BRMC to headline? Can't see it, but it would be ace.

[roughbloke]

Surely IOW coheadliners will be a dance act and a band much like The Black Keys and The Prodigy this year. 

I reckon Disclousure will be the dance act. 

[FloorFiller]

Oh God please let Kendrick be booked! That would make almost any of the other shite across the weekend worth it. Did many BST acts play Glastonbury last year/in previous years?

A few. A lot of the ones on smaller stages did, from the two days I done the only bigger band that showed up were future islands. 

[mungo57]

I tried and failed to like Kendrick. I don't know why I just maybe don't get him.

At least we can rule out some other people for G tonight, can't see either of the 2 coheadliners playing G if they are at IOW

[CaledonianGonzo]

King Kunta's the single of the year.

Until we hear White Ferrari.....

Reckon it'll be Chase and Status and someone else for IOW. Maybe Libs if they're around in the Summer. Can't see being Disclosure, as I expect them to be at Glastonbury and R&L in big slots (Other headliner and main sub, respectively).

I did think Chase & Status but haven't heard much from them regarding next year. Guetta & Libs I'll go for.

[wilem]

Kendrick to clash with coldplay? Please.

[Festival Liam]

Pharrell was probably the worst thing I've ever seen at five Glastonburys, and I don't even mind a few of his songs on record. "These girls are the baes, let them show you what they can do with their bodies" ... I really hope Emily was watching and thought fuck, we need to edit the contracts we have people sign.

They've recently done 4 tracks collaborating with their favourite London rappers, so they are active

I've heard little about Muse, so can only guess.

I doubt IoW will have Foals. They're likely to be a R/L exclusive.

Ah, didn't think about Guetta. Was about to ask if he has new material but I doubt that even matters for him; he's always everywhere doing his shit. I thought C&S had an album coming out, but yeah haven't seen anything to suggest they'll be around doing shows.

Have a gut feeling the non-dance co-headliner will be someone disappointing for some reason. Something random like Paolo Nutini who no one expects to be a headliner. No idea why tbh.

But I'll go with C&S/ Libs as my prediction, anyway.

[Hugh Jass]

Can't see the Libertines agreeing to co-headline when they're headline on their own everywhere else.
