Headliners 2016

[zahidf]

Well as someone who has a glasto tic and likes coldplay, i am unlikely to get a coldplay wembley tic. So i see the point of exclusivity!

Fucking Coldplay

[Woffy]

When is it time to re-start the rumour (like last year) that Glastonbury 2016 will be their final ever gig before splitting and thus upset the official Coldplay forums?

Kasabian also did a big gig before Glasto. Leicester, the week before GF

Different again, that one was. That was basically their own show where they called all the shots.

As I've said above, it's always ultimately the band's call, as no one forces them to sign contracts. But the likelihood is that the promoter will pay them more for his shows if there's not other shows, because that helps guarantee the sales and therefore his profits (and not, perhaps, a loss).

Bit awkward to fly out for amsterdam and then back to the uk for glasto

fixed for you.

There has never been a worse trio that this. 2 bands who have played umpteen times and are well regarded as producing comfortably the worst music of their careers. What a joke.

Adele I'm fine with, but 2 multiple headlining acts in the same year? I'm furious.

You don't actually need to preorder it on Amazon, you can just sign up here which is a link from the Amazon page.

Genius! Thank you!

Utter shite.

[sisco]

Wel I love Coldplay (mock away) and have a Glastonbury ticket! 

I presume it's safe enough not to buy a Wembley ticket??

Radiohead, Bowie, Swift... was it so much to ask for?

It's a short flight and they're not needing to transport their entire stage rig to Glastonbury.

[ghostdancer1]

probably have 2 stages on the go anyway. all the screens/backdrops etc from stage 1 will stay in the UK after Wembley.

the other will be getting setup in Amsterdam.

[justperfect]

Please tell me there is a glimmer of hope the roses will still turn up. Anything for me to cling to through these dark winter months

I think it's unlikely, but you never know, I guess.

[gluther]

The worst thing about the suspected headliners is that, despite them being a poor booking, it won't make getting tickets in resale any easier cause they're huge.

Edit: Ok, maybe the worst thing is their recent music, but my point still stands.

Pretty certain that they (Coldplay) are playing Glastonbury?

Yep, it looks like they are - but that's me guessing at much the same as everyone else is.

That trio is just waiting for my next Glasto in 2017. Hang on in there.
