So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[PabloCoke]

Flo will be bumped, if she rises to the occasion it will lift her to another level internationally.

Flo is not my cup of tea but it would be nice to see Glastonbury making a massive headliner rather than shipping one in. It could be a pulp moment.

[pecks]

Bump up Hattie Hatstar, bump down Kanye, switch John Otway to the Legends Slot, switch Steel Pulse to the John Otway slot, Dreadzone for the Sunday Reggae Slot, Sunday Reggae Slot swapped for the Sunday Legends Slot, Morris Minor and the Majors bumped up to the Friday hip hop slot, keep Mik Artistik level pegging, break through Flo, nail on Biggles, Beyonce in the Beyonce slot and Coldplay to man the Growler Van. Sorted.

 

Broken into the Glastonbury supplies a bit early this year? 

[home to you]

We're back to the days of getting absolutely no work done

[alframsey]

Blur are shite, Florence are shite.

[wetflame]

If Flo gets bumped then I'll be disappointed. Saw her a few years back at either V or Leeds festival and thought she had a great set, saw her 6 months later or so at her own gig and it was dull. Would be much happier with Blur coming in. On the other hand, if Florence is headliner then I'll probably go see Hot Chip or Super Furry Animals, so it won't matter either way.

[Andy0808 v5]

Emily either jinxed or predicted this... 'Florence could headline'

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Blur are shite, Florence are shite.

Agreed.

 

Hasn't EE said that they already have a replacement and the lineup still shows Flo as sub with TBA as head. This would very much suggest it not being Flo bumped up no ? Or has something changed since I was reading around it last night ?

Not entirely sure that Coldplay are right for the Growler van at this point in their career, probably best to swap them with Yam the cassava.

[Spindles]

Agreed.

No, but Matt42 has and that is just as good.

 

Consensus seems to be that the current formatting was just the quickest job they could do late last night (fair play to whoever was working and updating stuff around midnight) and that at this point there is anything to play for, could be a bump, could be someone new.

[roughbloke]

I also like that people have gone from wanting Blur before we got The Who to know not wanting them. 

[paulo999]

Agreed.

If they were waiting to get Flo signed for headline, that is exactly what I'd expect the line up page to say.

[jparx]

If they are going to announce a new act, it will have to be someone much bigger than Flo. Emily said that she believed Florence was big enough to headline so I can't see the sense in booking someone at or around her stature when they have the opportunity to hand Flo a massive opportunity and really propel them to the next level. Not to mention the money they would save. 

 

For some reason I just think if they wanted Blur to headline this year, they would have been announced already. They have had numerous chances to land Blur but for whatever reason they haven't. Perhaps they are penciled in for next year? After Prince pulled out (?) The Who had to rearrange a gig to play when Blur were free, so that to me says Blur aren't in the running this year.

 

Even though they are playing gigs on the Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, I think Fleetwood Mac make the most sense on a couple of levels. Clearly they are big enough to headline, it's one of the last chances they will get to headline the festival and they would tie in very well with Flo. Flo has said on numerous occasions that FM are her favourite band, so it would be a cool pairing with the potential of some duets. Most of the big bands that are touring and that could headline are playing other festivals in the UK, so I don't think it matters that FM played IOW.

 

That or KISS

They'd also be a round peg in the Square Pie Slot.

[PabloCoke]

If its blur I'll be jibbing off hot chip.

[monkey1989]

It's no florence the Glasto lineup page is back with TBA written above flo

Thanks Spindles.

 

Nick Cave, is he popular enough in the mainstream ? I'm obviously a fan so sometimes lose sight of the general public perception of him. Just finished a European Tour so he's fighting fit.

[Jakkkkobz]

Hoping for Elton John rather than Blur or flo

[Superscally]

Flo can't be propelled to the next level because she can't sing.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hoping for Elton John

Oh now we're talking....

[monkey1989]

still says on lineup page the TBA to get 2.5 hours

[Superscally]

Elton, Nick Cave, Foals, National - pretty please. Maybe all f them in the weirdest supergroup ever

[giantkatestacks]

Thing is for Flo its a massive deal to be suddenly rehearsing a headline show with incredibly short notice under immense pressure. Its not like she has been preparing to be am understudy just in case.

Fair play to her if she takes that on, I wouldnt relish it though.

[jparx]

Flo can't be propelled to the next level because she can't sing.

 

Mmmkay. I'm sure you'll still be saying that next year when she's headlining festivals. 

 

Serj Tankian can't sing for toffee but System of a Down managed to sell a few records.

That'll probably change when they announce it. I hope it doesn't as my Friday schedule is perfect.

Christ, I'm not a fan but this is an unbelievable statement.
