would be great but i just can't see them booking Beyonce again so soon, especially with our local pop star Ed Sheeran just waiting for his UK major festival headliner debut

if Foos aren't out of their hiatus then one of Stone Roses or Depeche Mode to take their place i guess, although wouldn't be surprised if it's none of those and we get a total curveball. i don't even care. Radiohead!

I hope Depeche Mode headline just to see how happy it makes easty.

Ha ha @eastynh I didn't realise what a mine I was treading on when I called Depeche Mode a retro group yesterday!  I will make it a point to listen to their more recent stuff - I just have very fond memories of them from my youth.

Beyonce isn't going to play Glastonbury again. It doesn't pay the big bucks and you only need to do it once to prove you're down with the 'alternative' crowd, which is why she did it in the first place. Festivals aren't part of her regular touring schedule like they are for most headline acts, so it would only serve to detract from her 2011 performance (which was widely viewed as a massive triumph, despite the views of some on here). She won't be back, unless as a guest with Coldplay or similar

Foo Fighters

Radiohead

Ed Sheeran 

[Alex DeLarge]

Ed Sheeran

The Stone Roses

Foo Fighters if they're off their hiatus, Radiohead if they're not

[dentalplan]

Even if they announce their hiatus is over at any point in the next year, the Foo Fighters will still have to write and record an album before they think about touring. You can put a big fat black line thru their name for next year.

[RichardWaller]

The Cure are overdue a set...

[fightoffyour]

Think they'll try to have a female headliner every year now, so

Ed Sheeran

Radiohead

Taylor Swift

[Hutchmaster]

Could The Strokes be in with a shout?

 

[Martin Ashford]

Stone Roses

Taylor Swift

Radiohead

Yes I am a bit of a Depeche Mode nut, probably a little more so than I am regards to New Order. The new new stuff can be a little hit and miss, but at least they try to do something different. They have a golden run of albums though from Black Celebration through to Songs Of Faith and Devotion which is just fantastic.

OK - first I have to catch up with this year's lineup, then I'll listen to DM not-so-new-but-definitely-not-retro-stuff.  And I hate to admit it, but I'm not even a New Order fan either - I just quite liked them and thought it would be fun to see them..... Oh dear, I'm not doing well here am I?  But at least I'm not telling you that you need a lobotomy!

New Order will be fun and a lobotomy can get to the back of the queue in regards to things I need doing

A few beers will be far more to the point than a lobotomy!  Not long now!  Am getting very excited!

Sometimes bands headline festivals while they're writing new albums rather than after. Radiohead played V2006 for example. And could be an excuse to do basically a greatest hits set with three or so newies thrown in. 

[Tyonks]

I'll actually be going in 2017 so here goes,

I HOPE it will be; Rage Against the Machine, Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar

In reality something like; Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Ed Sheeran.

Time will tell, son. Time will tell.

Taylor Swift has announced she's taking a mini-break from music in 2017 - let's just rule her out right now.

If there's going to be a female star that does it in the next few years it'll be either Lady Gaga or Katy Peryy - both of which have albums coming out next year - but i think they'll be 2018.

So

Radiohead

Foos

Ed Sheeran

 

2018 - Someone, someone and Katy Perry (depending on whether her next album shows any sign of credibility yet)

2018 is the fallow year, and Katy Perry ain't ever gonna do it i don't think, and Gaga's time has seemingly passed
