mrf Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 People complaining about Muse, Coldplay, Adele and then being ok with Foos, Fleetwood Mac and Ed Sheeran?!??!?! Its all just interchangable arse feta that would be hideously dull en masse either year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much the dull music of coldplay and muse that bothers me - as you point out, chances are headliners are almost always going to be dung - it's the utterly depressing lack of imagination shown by the bookers.

Alan_C Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 If the Adele thing didn't happen and Roses aren't possible, would someone like Foals not be obvious? Just going by the thing of them wanting to promote people to headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettredmayne Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I wouldn't play poker with adele as she seems to be able to lie and bluff quite easily if she does play. Multiple times in the last few weeks she has spoken about how she isn't playing glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Glastonbury who gave muse and Coldplay their big breaks as headline acts, so they've done it in the past. id take foals over muse and Coldplay, it would be something new and would be interesting to see if they could pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, she's said stuff that leaves you drawing the conclusion that she isn't, but it's not an outright 'i'm not playing'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Ok, maybe the worst thing is their recent music, but my point still stands. nah, anyone who really wants to see Coldplay and Muse will buy tickets for their own gigs. not many people are suddenly going to want to go to Glastonbury just because they're headlining. if Adele is going to do Glastonbury, then she'll probably be doing her own massive gigs too. I very much doubt she will do either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She comes on stage, and says a few words about how terrified she is, with a little act to go along with it. She then bursts into one of her better known songs, and delivers it perfectly. Crowd is eating out of hand. From that trailer for a show tonight that's been running on the beeb for what seems like years already, it looks like she knows exactly how to act it up. I don't think it's beyond the possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.94 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Betfair are offering £30 in free bets to new account holders placing a £10 bet. They've got alright odds on Adele/Coldplay/Muse as Saturday headliners (6/12/EVNS) - seems like an easy way to cover yourself https://promotions.betfair.com/uk-sportsbook-bet10-get30?utm_medium=PPC&utm_source=2141248&utm_campaign=8880833&utm_term=4941469&utm_content=120455303&utm_ad=293408504&rfr=70001&sid=2103&gclid=CJ3pwuG8n8kCFQb3wgodLvoEeQ&dclid=CJeWxeG8n8kCFQRk2wod8v0OsA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokel Again Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 She's got a great voice and seems like a right laugh. However, piano ballads and some mid paced pop = dullorama. Still, plenty of scope to check something else out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_C Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 If Ray and Dave Davies ever get around to reforming The Kinks, where would they fit in at Glastonbury? They have an embarrassment of amazing songs, one of the best british bands ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be said that provided they do, FF and GNR would be just what's needed. They can't risk it by booking that and a reformed GNR will be the booking of the year should they have them. I don#t think that can be beaten by anyone especially when they'll have beaten Download to them who will have to wait until 2017 for them. I think if R&L had them and so did Coachella then it'll be Feb before we know, R&L coming out with them as their 1st header will ruin Coachella's big drop and that's not happening. Not like it won't sell out with it is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really cash in on the full album thing and reform and drop a full album into the odd show. They've 4 or 5 they could do. Not many bands can claim that. Village Green, Face to Face, Muswell Hillbillies, Arthur, Something Else...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 gotta say i'm quite a fan of her new album. if you didn't like her before then the chances are that it's not going to win you over - it's mostly more of the same - but it's a great follow up to 21 and about as good as you could expect from her. would definitely go see her if she played and nothing spectacular was up against her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
