Headliners 2016

[Alan_C]

You need a headliner who closes their set with The Perfect Kiss, True Faith, Temptation, Atmosphere/Transmission, Love Will Tear Us Apart and Blue Monday. That is perfect man.

It was a pretty cool way to announce themselves but yeah, that last shot was pretty unintentionally funny

Gotta say, as much as the booking has annoyed me, I'm definitely gonna try and make it over after LCD for the Knights of Cydonia encore - they may not have done anything worthwhile in ten years, but that's a hell of a closing song 

Don't they have a habit of starting with Knights? Someone enlighten me please.

I just wish Curtis was still alive to sing at least a couple of them

They have done in the past (on their 2006 tour they often alternated between Knights of Cydonia and Take a Bow as closers/openers) but Knights is more often played as the closer these days, maybe at every show? (I'm sure a Muse nerd will correct me on this)

No surprise really today. Only surprise was that it was at 5:12pm! 

Anyway that fake poster that was floating around has gotten 2 headliners right at least as well as ELO. I bet Emily Eavis although happy to admit it was fake was thinking 'how the hell do they know those are playing' 

there's some decent names on that fake poster although it's missing the stone roses and its misspelled Radiohead as Adele....

[siweltrebor]

Adele to be announced with the bulk of the lineup or after the UK leg of her World Tour perhaps.

If it's not her then it is surely Radiohead.

It's very British this year, either three of the current biggest uk guitar bands. Or two of them and the biggest female artist out there right now.

What about if Marillion were announced for Saturday?  

For about 7pm on Avalon?  That'd suit me nicely!

[willutalk]

So... (my cube number hypothesis)

512 is 8 cubed.

Now 9 cubed is 891 which won't work in our 60 minute hours.

But if we go down one number

7 cubed is 343!

I can't imagine the Eavii announcing at 17 minutes to 4 in the morning. So my arousal levels might just shoot up as I wait for my train at 3:43 in the afternoon!

Stay tuned

I found the video quite amusing,

Sunday headliner, look at us, on top of the world, Saturday headliner, stadium rock full swing, now friday headliner - heading towards being an afterthought.

I like Muse and seen them a few times before but had no interest in much off their last three albums really.

Saturday full swing stadium rock?

Adele?

They'd better have something different lined up or I will moan like a proper moaning bastard on here for the next four months.

[shoptildrop]

wow so mega spam threads on efests all of a sudden!!

 

edit. maybe I'm seeing things as all gone now lol

This evening feels wierd.

Normally if a headliner had been announced that day I'd be buzzing and spend the evening having a listen to some of their music and getting excited for Glastonbury.

I couldn't be less interested in Muse. Such a shame.

Doesn't Glastonbury spend the least out of most festivals? Didn't fleetwood mac do IOW because Glastonbury didn't want to pay so much for them?

Yeah. But they're definitely not paying the going rate for Coldplay and probably not for Muse either. They can get ridiculous line-ups based on the 'prestige' and TV coverage but then there will be some more pragmatic acts that they'll just never get.

[siweltrebor]

Everytime I've seen Muse they opened on Knights of Cydonia, even though it's their best closer.

Thinking about it now, I've not seen Muse for 9 years now. I gave them a miss in 2010 and I didn't go to Reading in 2013 in the end.

2 headliners, ELO and PJ Harvey!! 

[H.M.V]

For those wondering, I asked my Muse fanatic mate what the story is with Knights of Cydonia and she confirmed they close not open with it.

Haven't seen a headliner yet, not who I would have wanted other than the purple poppet but will be heading to this clashes allowing cos they put on a cracking show. Fingers crossed its a hit show.

Just had a look at last year's thread. Guess what date it reached page 500? 

26th Feb. 

spooky

And lo, there was an announcement. Coincidence? I think not

[Jcatley]

I'm clinging on to the hope that New Order on the Saturday is slightly wrong and they are on the Friday/Sunday and the Roses somehow end up headlining. 1% chance, but I might as well cling on to the hope

Sorry, must've confused them with Space. They did play there in 2014 though which was the first Victorious I went to

Exactly this. Oh, and got a text 10 mins ago from somebody who should should know that says Adele is booked. Think of that what you will. I believe them.

and I got a message a few days ago that Adele has booked a nearby hotel.

It defo looks like she's happening.

as I've said already, the word I've had should be good.

It was good last time matey gave me word and there was no further verification from elsewhere, so until the festival has happened and they've not played, I strongly lean towards them playing.

It could be wrong of course, but I think it probably isn't.
