Headliners 2016

[strummer77]

Well that's Blur out, not that they were going to play anyway.

 

What's happened that rules them out?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I loved both myself.

I'm referring more to the T in the Park/V Festival types with their selfie sticks, Hunter wellies, Daily Mail "how to dress for a festival" uniforms and jugs of Pimms that people were giving out about. As opposed to the pushing over portaloos door-side-down types.

Actually, has the Pimms bus been seen since Beyonce played?

If anything, it looks to me like she's actually helped rid the place of Summer Cup-style beverages.

It was in the theatre field up to last year, but didn't make an appearance this year. Plenty of other places to get Pimms on site, but sadly none of them bus shaped.

But if we're going to blame Beyoncé for anything, surely the mud that year was her fault.

But 100% Coachellas fault

 

Corrected for you

Good point actually. It was the Pimms window up in the Park I was referring to. Seems to be a movable anomaly.

What's up with blur, I was sure they would play t in the park next year

[5co77ie]

is T on the Park on next year - will they be able to cope without bail outs from the Scottish Government?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think they've confirmed it's going ahead, but it feels very much on its last legs.

Jamie Hewlett, the animator who works with Damon on Gorillaz has said that 2016 will be Gorillaz all year.

Gorillaz headliner?

Another anomaly is that I'm guessing that predates Beyonce ever playing the farm.

I would imagine so. But shes the person who took its inoffensive stem and germinated it with her sticky juice, causing the petals to protrude and blow around in the wind. Much like the stench from the toilets at Oxylers.

[iamthehorn]

I'm new to this board and to Glastonbury, but it's nice to know that this festival, just like every other major festival around the world, has also been ruined by young people who own cellphones and wear objectionable clothes.

[thewayiam]

Gorillaz headliner?

 

A Damon secret appearance is about all you'll get, Damon would be in no hurry to repeat a Gorillaz headline set.

To be honest I'd forgotten that they'd already headlined, in 2010!

No one is in a hurry to repeat a Gorillaz headline set.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gorillaz' headlining slot was responsible for the subsequent prevalence of sleeve tattoos, waxed beards and pulled pork.

And overpriced vinyl

[LeeGalvin]

Haha! It went down like a sack of shit then? I don't think I've even seen any footage of it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Kasabian's headlining slot was responsible for the subsequent prevalence of composting toilets.

Pretty much the words of Damon himself, admitted it wasn't great himself. They were a stand in and never big enough really in fairness. Boring stuff.

[LeeGalvin]

That's a shame really, as they have the potential to be an exciting headliner, with great visuals, guest vocalists, orchestra, choir etc.

Can't be as boring as Travis though.

So young people aren't allowed to have have a mobile & wear current trends?

 

"It was so much better back in the day" brigade.

Once again, the Internet fails to covey tone.

The batteries on those brick phones lasted for ages though. Great times.
