At least Metallica have got a bit of something in them.....Coldplay at least have some upbeat stuff. Radiohead aren't upbeat and have a lot of slow stuff, I think you'd need to really be a fan to bother tuning in.

 

I don't disagree... the question is... would they ask them (if it is them...) to do a greatest hits show? or would they just play a 'Hardcore' friendly setlist?

 

I hate KoL, and if they're going to do a setlist like last time, i'd probably give it a miss.

For what it's worth the same chap who told me about Coldplay and Muse has said the final headliner is Adele but the contract isn't signed?

 

[rzwodezwo]

Still a fav. Disappointing nonetheless.

Stop being a tit for a few minutes.

Terrible booking imo. When do we reckon the last headliner will be announced?

Leave Kings of Leon out of this

I've a feeling we're getting Stone Roses next year.

I don't think so.

The O2 holds 22000, times 6 makes 132,000 which I reckon would mean that every paying customer on the site would have to be at the Pyramid stage.

Would leave the rest of the site somewhat empty

I always assumed the O2 was 16/17k, hence my figures. Woops!

Okay, five times the capacity then

The festival are just gonna prioritise booking a headliner first and worry about the TV cameras later (if at all) so I doubt it

A hardcore friendly set?

I don't get how I am?, it's just an opinion. Radiohead for however big they are, are very niche, and if you believe what the original info on Metallica was they were due to be on Other instead.

[FuzzyDunlop]

If LCD headline the other on Friday. 

For Fri and Sunday, the main two stages hold no interest for me....

WH - Santana or Ice Cube please!!!

Eric Prydz or Carl Cox somewhere.....

 

Im gutted as I thought Radiohead were a shoo in

Yup me too, along with Ed Sheeran and Foo's if they don't do Glasto. I see it being Glasto though with R&L waiting a year.

Big and niche.

Jesus. It's fucking insufferable. Have you been grounded to your room for like a year or something?

Why?, you saying a band can't be big and niche now?

I can't bear Adele but I'm kinda hoping she's the third headliner to break up the "white boys with guitars" party...

[mrf]

To be fair, the TV crowd and the Glastonbury crowd will be very different. The (majority of the) sat at home on a Saturday night TV crowd will be channel hopping and will stay if something catches their attention. If they are Radiohead fans they will be happy (much like the people in attendance in a big lovely field). The reality is that the majority of the TV audience are indifferent and will flick channels when bored, irrespective of a bands assumed godliness.

What about if Marillion were announced for Saturday?  

[willd255]

Given the doubts about Radiohead and Adele is there anyone else that could possibly fill that 3rd slot realistically?

I'd be hugely surprised if it turned out to be anybody but those two at this point

IMO:
Adele 1%
Muse 40%
Radiohead 40%
Anyone else 19%

as I said ... isn't difficult,Eavis told 3 British bands and Adele is not a band .. so you know the third headliner, beginning with the R ....

Tbf, a good chunk of the Kanye crowd last were indifferent and many metaphorically channel hopped to a different stage.
