At least Noel had the decency to rip off other people, Dave Grohl's been ripping off himself since he wrote Monkey Wrench. 

I'm a huge Oasis and Beatles fan, but I don't really think the claims they ripped The Beatles are fair. Plenty other people they did "borrow" from though. 

I actually really like Noel's solo output too, and he knocked it out the park headlining T this year. I think he'd be a great Friday headliner for Glastonbury, but I also see why they don't view him as "big enough"

Yeah Oasis, what a range of musical influences they had ranging from The Beatles to erm... The Beatles

I'll have you know that also they lifted from T-Rex, Bowie, The Smiths and The Stone Roses, and weren't adverse to pilfering a little bit of Hendrix, R.E.M. and Pink Floyd here and there.

saw Noel at IoW subbing springsteen. He was ok but crowd only really got going for the Oasis songs. He has no stage presence and as he said yesterday to Jo wiley it was Liam that took Oasis to the stratosphere. he is now a very good sub at Glasto imo not a headliner.

This is it, the Eavis' would know the crowd are turning up for Oasis stuff despite some of his own solo stuff being decent enough and it wouldn't be booked for higher than a sub bu I do wonder with him not doing it this year and the amount of interviews he done with it mentioned, he was clearly open to do it and wasn't just a year of chasing money if the offer came. I bet it grates a little that Eavis' asked/accepted a slot from BE though.

Beady Eye, playing in the prestigious "Special Guests TBA" slot opening the Other Stage. I doubt that grated on Noel at all, in fact I believe he was there in 2013...

Maybe if Noel chucked in a couple of Beady Eye tracks then people would be more into his solo shows..

Grated maybe the wrong word but still more than Noel looks to be getting.

Yes. Especially after the rousing reception they got when they smashed it out of the park as Friday openers on The Other.

Exactly, remember everyone thought this was the beginning of Beady eyes festival headlining domination, they were going to take over the world

It saddens me immensely that Noel Gallagher, the brains behind one of the biggest bands this country ever produced, isn't deemed worthy enough to headline, but the fucking Foo Fighters are. 

Dave Grohl's been realising basically the same song over and over again for nearly 20 years, and has somehow managed to dupe everyone into thinking they're a great rock band. 

Yeah, but they're both shit bands.

Not to mention Don't Look Back In Anger lifting the guitar solo note for note directly from Primal Screams's Damaged.

Noel giving out about Adele being bland. Has he listened to his own stuff? He then goes on to champion U2 and Coldplay.

Couldn't make it up.

It's because his rock music establishment membership was finally granted when he hit 45.

fuck me, just reading about that

He also labelled her as part of the "sea of cheese" that popular music has become. The singer said: "music has nosedived into f***ing blandness – a sea of cheese."

Which is fair enough. Then he goes on to say

“It is interesting that no-one ever talks about my love of U2 and Coldplay, but there you go"

The guy is an utter balloon.

Never got Noel's love of U2 and Coldplay. He's best mates with Chris Martin and Bono as well. Can definitely see him appearing on that song he plays on with Coldplay

      What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.

      2027 Headliners

      By ghostdancer1 · Posted

      Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......

      I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
