So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[Woffy]

42 can't type for shit tonight.

I reckon Emily should put her money where her mouth is a get Flo there, it makes so much sense. British, female, ripe for the boost, history with the festival, it's ludicrous they got The Who instead of her as it is.

 

...#1 US album...

[Northern-Monkey]

Kylie Minogue, please! It's now 10 years since she had to pull out because of cancer...

Unless her stage set is in anywhere near the UK then it ain't going to happen, I can't see Kylie doing a Dolly type set yet, it just ain't her style.

[blackred]

flo bumped and then switch charlatans to pyramid to fill in gap n pyramid?

 

 

Then Ride can open the Other, like this train of thought...

[sebcity]

Pearl Jam are free...

[phil the shrew]

Can't see it being a massive name act due to the short notice, plus a Stone Roses or ACDC type act probably wouldn't want to be seen as a last minute 4th choice headline

Most obvious one seems to be to bump Florence up the bill and bring in a sub headliners that's more an up and coming band who normally wouldn't be that high up the bill but who can grab the attention that spot brings

Feel for the Foo's pulling out, but personally was off to watch stuff on the other stages anyway

People calling for James to headline now Charlatans to sub?

 

I don't wanna sound like a c**t but it isn't 1997

there would be in the eyes of the average fan, Kanye and TS headlining? there would be a lot of negative press

 

It will still sellout in under an hour next year, how the festival responded the childish reaction to Kanye playing showed they won't give a hoot about the negative press.

[festiking]

Elton John ( duh, no brainer easy, available, big enough, and playing in cornwall tonight anyway, he hasn't far to go !) !!!

...... Would be genius!!!!

[home to you]

Surely Libs won't be asked! Even under these circumstances that would be weak considering they're headlining other UK fests

[let's 'ave it!!!]

1995 - Stone Roses pull out

2005 - Kylie pulls out

2015 - Foo Fighters pull out

Spoooooooooooky

You're a disgrace to your avatar.

She's headlining 2016, around about January she'll put out her 6th album, an experimental psych-rock odyssey, with strong African influences, and traces of classic music,  then she'll unleash in on Glastonbury with a 3 hour set which spans her whole career.

nah, I just mean to flesh out pyramid a bit...but then im not too sure about motorhead subbing either!

[ltfckimbo]

As a replacement, just over a week out? I'm sure Glastonbury would jump at the chance.

[incident]

Surely Florence will be bumped up? Especially after Emily saying she could headline.

Yeah that's the way I'm looking at it. Given the situation and Emilys previous comments, then unless there's someone absolutely massive available it'd be a pretty big insult for the Festival to go looking for someone else.

More likely that Florence gets bumped up, and if there's a new act added it'll be further down the stage.

Would his ego allow him to be a replacement? Would be good but reckon it's unlikley

I think they do, it wasn't that long ago it struggled to sell out

BAGGY MONDAYS.

You are, and a clueless one too! James have been selling out tours since they reformed back in 2007, have released nearly as many albums since then than before, are on the bill at a shed load of festivals and are far better on the stage than fucking Flo, Libs, Swift and 95% of others already mentioned!

And on that note, what about Pulp?

[When Jokers Attack]

Beady Eye

[musky]

Don't think that is particularly relevant, the profile of the headliners has changed a fair bit since then.

Indeed it has, but even so they went with Other stage subs at the time. Ash were nowhere near Stevie Winwood of terms of profile, and Kula Shaker certainly weren't for Neil Young.

 

With only two weeks to prepare for a new headliner their choices are limited, even more so when you consider that some acts' management will use the opportunity to try to hold the festival over a barrel for payment.

I'm seeing Kylie on Friday at Newmarket Racecourse, so she's definitely around, not on the same scale as a full gig obvs but she's a practical lass I'm sure she could make it work!

 

Still want Blur though...

[the wonderwhy]

QOTSA

[wozwebs]

Please be Blur!

[Superscally]

Maybe if Flo headlines it'll be easier to get a ticket next year :-)
