[Andy0808 v5]

Oh god. We're now talking about/looking at a realistic chance of Rihanna and Coldplay playing.

 

Jesus Christ. I need to lay down.

Still convinced Adele won't do it. Rihanna? Nah.

Coldplay, Dacca and a curve ball from left field.

surely AC/DC would be the curve ball in this situation. how much more of a curve ball could we get?

like many Words of the Eavii, the 'fourth headliner' is something i feel we on here enjoy over analyising, rather than any particular hint as to who may be booked.  i don't disagree that about the 'legend' thing you bring up - that slot is renowned as huge now in it's own right.  one might say it's comparable to a fourth headliner

 

Dolly certainly got a lot more publicity than Kasabian in 2014.

Who the fuck are Arcade Fire?

that was due to the combination of having a shit by the numbers headliner that everybody saw coming and a huge long time coming Sunday legend. likewise with The Who/Lionel this year. somehow i don't see Coldplay (if we're assuming they're the Sunday headliner) being outshined this year though, regardless of how standard they are. none of the suggested legends seem fit to do that

Fair point. I'm hoping It will be someone that no-one Is thinking of. Much as I wasn't happy about them playing, The Who were a shock this year, I'd like another shock.

that was largely due to

1. them already being booked up that night

2. Glastonbury not making a habit of rebooking old times 'legend' headliners until then

doubtful similar circumstances will happen for next year, but hopeful that at least one of the headliners isn't what we're all expecting right now

not the biggest fan of AC/DC, but they'd sure be the kick up the arse this years headliner set needs

How very dare you! Haha. 

Their set was my absolute highlight of Glasto 2014. Incredible!

Probably my favourite show I've ever seen at Glastonbury, but they got an Nth of the publicity Dolly did, and an even smaller fraction of the crowd.

Adele is far bigger than both of them combined, at present.  if she plays, she headlines.

Ah, I see. Yes, agreed! That's how to nail a headline slot. The crowd where I was standing (correction: dancing) were partying as if at a carnival. It was brilliant, and such a perfect setlist. A close second for favourite after Bowie, of course.

Princess of China will be a real moment

£71.50 for standing/unreserved seats for Coldplay! Up to £93 for reserved seats! Scandalous....and people said the roses were over priced! 

[fatyeti24]

gig prices are almost as mental as those that pay them

[LeeGalvin]

Middle class prices for the middle class fans of a middle class band.

Don't slate them, they can't throw the best seats on Viagogo anymore now we all know about it

Chris Martin needs to pay for his conscious uncoupling and light up wristbands somehow!

As opposed to Arcade Fire's years down the mines before their lucky break.

I still wouldn't see them but it does show the value in the Glastonbury ticket itself

Touché.

Ok, middle-of-the-road then!

[willutalk]

Definitely confirms their retirement. A nice big pay cheque to finish it all off.

No chance. They'll be back in 3/4 years with tickets starting at £85. Even if they do go their own ways, they will be back soon enough.
