So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[midwinter7]

That's the luck of the draw I guess, some years you get Rolling Stones, other years it's Florence, Kanye West and The Who. Suddenly pleased I didn't try and get tickets this year.

No right to be disappointed?  Appreciate its ridiculously short notice but a headliner should be replaced by a headliner - for £240 a ticket I'm feeling ever so slightly short changed that the value of my ticket has gone down on the basis we're a huge band light on the bill.

 

Not at all surprised that they have taken the easiest and laziest option - particularly when there are a host of headliners in the country at the time.

 

Do you think that the process of snaring a 'huge' headliner that usually takes months of negotiation will be possible in a few days? Seriously it's never happened that way with previous replacement headliners at much longer notice and it's not realistic to expect it. And you know full well you're not just paying for the headliners.

Not to worry .Hey you'll all be watching Pink Floyd next year .Me included.☺

Fresh Face???

 

I mean in headlining terms. She's never topped a major festival before.

[Andy0808 v5]

Hopefully it has repercussions on T Day.... Who am I kidding

Bestival and Latitude

Mark Ronson would be a good bump up sub I guess.

Bestival and Latitude

 

Canadian Bestival last weekend too

[The Other Steve]

I'm huge Foos fan so gutted about not seeing them as I believe they would have been an awesome Friday headliner.  However, silver lining is I was also a bit gutted to be spending all 3 nights at the Pyramid for the headliners as I like to mix it up a bit so now I get the chance to watch someone else on another stage :-)

 

Also, surely the Foos dropping out leaves a nice wedge of cash to bring someone in of a decent size to sub Florence at short notice?  The National, The Foals, Van Morrison or a.n.other!

[sheffieldlady]

I'm not sure who people thought they could've got with so little notice. I think she will do a good job and good on her for saying yes - she must be very nervous about her first ever headline slot on that stage.

 

No, it isn't a rock band or someone of that statue - it just means that I will explore Friday night away from the Pyramid. Those abusing Emily on Twitter are idiots (nice term) lot's of other people will happily go to the festival and enjoy everything else that is happening. It's the first Glastonbury I have had where I'm not fussed about any of the headliners. But I still can't wait to get myself on the farm!!

Bestival and Latitude

 

She was average at Bestival must be said. But yeah I don't think its that controversial for her to be headlining.

 

If we are continuing the trend of bumping people up already on the lineup I can only really see Rudimental or Mark Ronson being able to do Pyramid. That would make the pyramid lineup on the Friday very very weak

Bestival and Latitude

 

Both like half the size of the biggest uk ones aren't they?

 

Wouldn't class them as major ones like V, T, R&L, Glasto.

[Bonehead> Clapton]

I dont get people's obsession with Foals and The national on here. Both awful bands

[verrymerry]

To be fair to Florence she could have headlined & there was a lot of speculation on these threads that she would, she's not bigger than the Foos so wouldn't have headlined over them, but now that they can't play it does make sense, and fits in with Emilys comments about her headlining

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Gutted at not being able to see Foos, but fair enough to Florence, she deserves a shot, I won't be there, I'll catch Billy Bragg and then get into the SE corner early doors.

So many pissed off people on social media, hopefully it makes T-day a bit easier in october

None of that stops us being disappointed though, does it? They've removed a huge band and replaced them with someone who's already playing. If we don't really care for FATM then what's wrong with us being disappointed in the way things have turned out?

[st dan]

Going to be tough to get tickets next year!!!

The Foo's have a huge fan base and it's almost certain that they'll be there.

This is factually incorrect.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

This is the first time she's played in five years anyway.

 

Feck, time flies man!

[Bobs]

Yeah, I can see Mark Ronson being shifted and Foals for the other stage.

 

Maybe no Foals at all

[Bonehead> Clapton]

This is factually incorrect.

 

It's not.

I thought there seemed to be rumours they'd already signed a UK Exclusive for R&L next year so I wouldn't say it's 100% nailed on like U2 were.

[fightoffyour]

It's not.
