So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[mgc07]

I don't mind it being Florence + the machine as now I can see the great running trio of Sharon Van Etten, Jamie xx and Super Fury Animals on the Park stage 

[Zero_Newnab]

Not really man, just think it's way too heavy on the really commercial safe Radio 1 style stuff.

 

I disagree, but to each their own.

 

I'm looking at it and seeing a load of great upcoming bands I want to check out, two of my "Always wanted to see" acts and plenty more "Wanted to see them since I heard their album" acts including one of the best hip hop acts in the game right now, novelty, rock, chilled stuff - ALL at Glastonbury with everything else going on around it. Great lineup, IMO.

Well at least now we can all get on acid to Caribou and make deep psychological bonds with friends/Significant others while Can't Do Without You is playing

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Saw someone kicking off saying 'JESUS PINKPOP HAD THE SAME THING AND BOOKED A HEADLINE ACT! SORT IT OUT GLASTONBURY' this is the Pinkpop that replaced Foos by bumping up Pharrell Williams and then booking a relatively unknown Belgian band to play?

 

Some people have lost grip of reality, they really have.

Stephen Hawking bumped from Kidz field on Saturday?

People are idiots. You can't trust them.

Oh shit I've just realised Jake Bugg must have been left in the lurch by all this. Poor guy.

Jake Bugg is Neil Lonsdale. Plot twist.

With The Who supposedly replacing another act already is this the most problematic year for headliners that Glasto's had?

It all makes sense now.

Every year seems Problematic

 

in my opinion, last year seems worse. Florence, Kanye and The Who is bigger than Arcade Fire, Metallica, Kasabian

 

I still hear people saying who? to Arcade Fire, yuck to metallica and "they aren't big enough" to Kasabian.

+ all that Kanye West petition bollocks.

[fatyeti24]

Flo's new album was approximately 100x better than Foos' one last year.

 

It was also better than Blur's.

 

most things in this world are better than a Blur album.

 

 

**disclaimer - if you like blur, that's fine**

And I can hear people saying "they aren't big enough" to Florence and The Machine, yuck to Kanye West, and "they're just repeating 2007" to The Who.

 

The early bookings of Arcade Fire and Kasabian seem to me to be much better than a sub bumped up after a last minute drop-out and a panic repeat booking.

I'm seraching for a band that fits this bill. Once saw Portishead in Benicassim having not known any of their songs and had one of my best sets ever with said deep psychological bionds flying all over the shop.

 

Caribou could be the place to be then.

If Neil Lonsdale screamed and threw his iPhone away at the Kanye West booking, I wonder how he's coping now.

Florence Welch is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of masculinity.

Florence has been very outspoken by being a woman all this time despite everyone knowing women and music don't mix...she should pass her headline slot on to allow a booking which does nothing to eliminate prejudice

Lets prevent this boost to gender equality now!

can we start a petition to find out?  is that how the modern world works?

[mgc07]

I thought Arcade Fire last year were the best headliners I'd seen and Metallica are always a great headliner 

[Glastosmile15]

1 year gap? They did 7 dates in February...

Yes they did! I was there!!

[timmyno7]

wonder what rock werchter will end up doing post fooies cancellation...?

[Gnomicide]

What's worse is the old gits (and yes most of the people who post this are old gits in the comments)

 

"FLORENCE? WHO? NOT A HEADLINE ACT"

 

The festival is ONE FUCKING WEEK AWAY they did what they could.

 

Honestly some people are just dumb.

 

 

Ageist!

 

 

 

~~A little hot in here, no?

[incident]

Quite possibly the same thing Glastonbury did, given that they also had Flo subbing them.

I know the discussion as a fair few pages back but having just watched James at T from last year I'd like to wade in if I may.... Great show! sounds great, high energy, packed full of anthems as well as some good newer material. I reckon they would have fitted the bill really well! And from the looks of the crowd I reckon they probably pulled on some of the biggest numbers of the weekend....even though they were 5 down or whatever. Maybe not pyramid headliners in normal circumstances but definitely deserve the top spot on the other stage, hopefully next year!
