So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[Glastosmile15]

And get he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights on the Pyramid Stage! 2013 was painful to watch...

So you don't like him then..........oh and morning !

I'm not dismissing her because I don't like her, I've already seen Florence live already fella - she couldn't do a 2 1/2 hour slot, simple as - Kylie could easily! Also it's short notice, not many acts or bands could step in either but only someone who doesn't know James would think they couldn't step in short notice - 13 albums and plenty of singalong songs you didn't even realise you already knew.

Btw you're not my age mate - I'm 45.

As for Kanye, liked his earlier stuff but I'm from a Warren G, Snoop, 2Pac type era n tbh find him a bit of a prick these days and his music piss poor imitation of its genre.

My view isn't from someone who hasn't a clue about music, its from someone who as plenty of experience seeing a large variety of it!

James are nowhere near big enough to headline Glastonbury. I appreciate you like them and there will be worse bands who have headlined, but Glasto headliners need to have bigger pulling power than academy and small arena gigs.

[Nutella Versace]

Why are we so sure they'll be replaced?

Because they have cancelled the entire tour.

[Hugh Jass]

Time for James Murphy to get on a plane for the Hot Chip/LCD Reformation double-headliner extravaganza!

Saw them both do a co-headline gig in Manchester a few years ago. It was feckin brilliant!

[Nutella Versace]

Prince. He's in guerrilla mode, so the last minute booking would be ideal.

[smytho15]

I heard he's doing a secret set on the Park Stage.

 

With Cast.

 

After The Fall.

I would prefer it if it was with the la's

I went to that, but as much as I do quite like Hot Chip they felt like an anti climax after LCD. Would probably have enjoyed them more if they'd come on first (they were swapping each gig as I recall)

A fair point, like you I much prefer LCD.

[EZYSEY]

If it's Coldplay I'll be fuming and it'll be the worst Pyramid headliners in history.

[arcade fireman]

Whoever plays I can't imagine they will be playing for 2h45. That's even longer than the Stones got.

[mungo57]

Flo bump - give her 1 hr 45 and give everyone else an extra 10 mins thats whats likeliest I reckon

[kalifire]

Yep, agreed. There'll be some set time adjustments made. I actually had my Friday night sewn up already so there's part of me which doesn't want to be drawn to the Pyramid that night. I was all about RTJ, Caribou, dash to Jamie xx and early to the SE Corner. Whoever's going to headline Friday will be a proper 'event' now and potentially a must see.

Radiohead or Prince. Won't happen but would be nice.

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Prodigy

I was at the one in Sheffield, and it was the same order (but yes they were swapping).  I was a hot chip fan and only vaguely knew LCD, but LCD smoked them out of the water.  Not that Hot Chip weren't great, it's just LCD were phenomenal.

[Spindles]

How about Rudimental being given the nod for Pyramid and some bumping around elsewhere (eg: Belle and Sebastian moving up to headliner on Other).

 

Experience suggests it is 50/50 whether it would be a new act brought in or another act on the bill bumped up.

 

Personally, on balance there is only one person I can see that is qualified for the job, who is perfectly placed to perform and is known for memorable sets:

[MEGABOWL]

Prince. He's in guerrilla mode, so the last minute booking would be ideal.

I hope not. I don't want that preening, overrated purple tit swanning in like some kind of hero after the crap he's caused Glastonbury in the past

[roughbloke]

Do you think we could get Muse? Werchter need to fill their Thursday headliner slot (I think that's the day Foo's were playing).

What if Muse switch days at Werchter so it frees up their weekend a little bit and then glasto is free?

[dingbat2]

Lionel could probably get away with it, if he's not doing anything on Friday. And then move either Burt or the Moody Blues to the legends slot. Simple

[Withakay]

Reckon it's between Blur and Flo. if it's Flo I reckon Ronson will move to sub her on Pyramid, Courteeners will move up someone else will fill in lower on Other Stage.

[Purple aki squat]

Take That?

[st dan]

Why all the talk of blur? I dont see how their anymore likly then any other bsnd with free dates......not only that but due to damons current voice issues with his throat hes not likly to want to do another long set.....so reslly that makes them less likly doesnt it?

The fact that Damon has stepped in at the last minute before with Gorillaz is the main thinking behind it.

RE: Marty's bags

If they were on DEFCON4 an hour ago, is global spermonuclear war now imminent?

Greetings Professor Harden.

[dingbat2]

did we ever get to the bottom of Eavis's comment that Chris Martin would be involved in this years festival at some point a few months back? Or was I dreaming (nightmare) it?

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Please no, Coldplay and 2015 would really be sealed as the Glastonbury I really should of stayed at home for.
