It's okay. I'll grab a ticket for NOS alive.

 

It'll be nice to see them do a full headline set, as opposed to the 40 minute set you're getting at Glastonbury

You'll regret that when everyone else is building up to Wales' first ever final appearance.

No, NOS looks great and excellent value at £90 a ticket for the 3 days, flights and accommodation take it a bit beyond my reach though personally.

I still don't think Adele will want to headline. I can genuinely see her subbing. Not out of want from the festivals point of view but she's said before how her music isn't for the glasto scene

but she's the biggest act in the world right now - whether she believes her music's right or whatever isn't up for her to decide. the biggest artists close the nights. anybody who doesn't think she's right can go elsewhere on site. if she plays then it's gotta be as a headliner

Is it possible that the headliners have been signed for ages now (Muse, Adele, Coldplay) but when Eavii found out Radiohead were active this year, they figured they had to have them at the festival even that means yet another 'secret set'? That's the only justification I could see for a 3rd secret set in 7 years without a headline appearance.

nah i think it's more likely that the Muse info was wrong and that it's been Radiohead all along, with Muse possibly doing the secret/non headliner set

and as to whether they'll be headlining, they surely must be - can't be doing another secret set. it's their time to grace the Pyramid again

I doubt they are heading it, they won't do a set that the Pyramid header needs. They did secret things in 2010/11 as said, can see the same kind od thing happening again.

Anything is possible.

I'm nowhere near convinced Adele or Muse are doing it.

I hope you're right. It'd be amazing to see Radiohead at Glastonbury in any form but there would be a tinge of disappointment if it was just a secret set. They need to headline the thing and bang out 20+ tunes! If they are ever going to headline again, now is the time!

Given they're doing headliner sets at other festivals, arguably more "mainstream" festivals I'm struggling to see them playing anywhere aside from the Pyramid

They have done headline srts at mainstream festivals for the past 13 years and not done anything bar secret set at Glasto so I don't think it means anything.

Why can't you see them headlining? You're making random points without backing them up with anything.

i think if they're headlining they'll definitely pull out a few old favourites to appease the casual viewers. what with them having been announced for so many festivals already i suspects the setlists (and possibly even album) may be a little more user friendly than last time round

I'd have to get it if we get knocked out. Gary Bale's Madrid form is making a NOS appearance for me less likely

Because they don't generally play 'festival' sets and it's not like they have avoided the fest top spot for years and played smaller shows where played material can what they want is it?

Muse > Radiohead.....

 

 

 

 

 

RUNS AND HIDES AND DOESNT COME OUT UNTIL MUSE'S FRIDAY NIGHT HEADLINE SLOT

Do you not remember them walking on stage to Creep at Reading in '09? That setlist reeked of 'festival' set.

They've played loads and loads of fests in the intervening period. Not on king of limbs tour so much, but on all the others. And they're playing proper festivals on this tour too. Christ there is a reason why you're -663..

the guy will find any reason for bands he doesn't like to not be playing the festivals he attends. the discussions about Foals in the Reading/Leeds section were exhausting

[tevaburger]

amazing news. surely it's Pyramid...but if it wasn't...could they possibly headline the Park or even West Holts with an specifically requested act immediately before them (as in Flaming Lips last time) someone they're friends with/have collaborated with, like...Wilco?

Speaking of Foals, the dream of them followed by Radiohead is well and truly alive.

As per your post in the other thread your scepticism is actually down to finding Radiohead boring rather than any educated guesswork.

I'd love for LCD Soundsystem to be followed by Radiohead  But either would be insane!
