So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[Martin Ashford]

They could always get Hawkwind. Nothing to touch them really in terms of visuals, back catalogue and performance. It's about time they were welcomed back to Glastonbury.

Foals

Foals

Oh, album finished and due for release in August.

Florence headlining and a strong sub (Foals?).

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Pushing it.

As much as I want to see the show, I'd rather them come back and do it properly. It's going to be fun getting a ticket if that happens in October, it'll be well known the Foo's will reschedule.

I take it you'll be disappointed when they're back headlining in the not so distant future then!!

this, or at least headlining the glade! or nik turner would be nice, where are you nic? To the best of my knowledge he has played every glasto up until a couple of years ago!

Libertines

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

Maybe Embrace will be called upon again to fill a last minute slot and have another revival.

There's only one possible replacement:

Good shout

I'd take it

[Jonny Hobbs]

Surely the only option would be to bump Florence up? Seems like very little time to sort out the contractuals for a replacement - unless they are a festival friend i guess.

I'd still be surprised if the Foos pull out tbh.

I reckon if Foos end up not being able to do it (personally, I think they will still be there) then Eavii should do what they should have done all along and give Florence her headline slot, then invite Foos back for next year. This year, anybody who's had even the dimmest intention of seeing the Foos has done, next year would be better for them, given extra clout because of them not being able to this year.

Blur, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift for 2016 looks good, ye?

Just to clarify my position, I'm not a fan of Florence, Foos or Blur, but think Florence was the obvious choice for headliner this year, The Who were a poor choice, and Foos were an inevitable choice that's clearly going to make a lot of people happy.

Of course there is.

[Martin Ashford]

He's playing all afternoon every day on one of the stages

[FuzzyDunlop]

If they can't play, I'd just poach whoever is in Paris that night

[Greenish]

Still waiting for Kylie to do her Glasto gig

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Mumford and Sons are supposed to be that night's headliners at Werchter, I'm sure they won't mind.

Leave it, Fuzzy, LEAVE IT....!

I agree with Flo replacing but you['re hoping for Blur, Foo's and Taylor next year lol.

Aren't all 3 on a new album? I'd already count Blur and Taylor out, Foo's obviously you'd say shoe in if they pull out.

I'd go for Biffy Clyro and FM at the minute, a 3rd I'm unsure of. If Foo's cancel then add them to that, normally I'd say no to Biffy and Foo's but these things happen. Got to think should Biffy we basically done based on a new album, there would be no thought at all that Foo's would have to cancel.

Brilliant

I don't think this'll happen, but I reckon Glastonbury should get Foals on the top of the bill next year, get back their rep as the fest that takes good quality bands and cements them as major fest headliners. R&L will obviously beat them to the punch, though - which will probably get me back to Leeds on a day ticket, along with a load of my old mates from school who were in our Leeds group back in the days of us going, and became Foals devotees when we saw them support Bloc Party back in 2007.... ahhh nostalgia.

Your time has come, Ms Welch.
