Adele sub headliner?

[mumzilla]

Ellie Gouldings website has Glastonbury Pyramid stage listed on 26 June. So she's definitely on there, at some time.

Perhaps because they wanted to be kept off it.

But also, perhaps, because it would take a bit of the Adele thunder. It doesn't seem unreasonable to hold it back.

Who knows if that's what they're doing tho? Not me.

Or maybe it wasn't set in stone for RH when the poster was released? Agreed upon, but a sub spot wasn't a complete priority when they have other headlining spots and their own gigs to still navigate around?

Or maybe it's K-Dot.

I think we should know by the end of the week. Only 4/5 days or so to go

I seem to remember she or someone from her camp has already indicated she is subbing Coldplay.

Yeah I had some news literally months ago regarding her positioning, and now I think that info was probably right

I think they'd hold it back for the reasons Neil said - also the roundhouse gigs weren't announced when the first poster was out right?

IIRC, my mate was kicking off after she missed tickets to the Roundhouse, and said they must be the last Glastonbury headliner, because they wouldn't do fests all over and no UK fest with only small shows. Or maybe it was after she missed out on tickets to Prima or NOS or w/e, fests were announced before Adele confirmed anyway.

So radiohead tickets were announced and sold out before the lineup dropped

okay so that's my theory out of the window..

[Hugh Jass]

There's enough of us from here going to the Roundhouse on Friday to get everyone in the front row with t-shirts spelling out "THOM R U AT GLASTO?"

Actually there's so many us going we could probably spell "THE EFESTIVALS COMMUNITY REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW IF RADIOHEAD ARE PERFORMING AT GLASTONBURY 2016. PLEASE ADVISE."

Even then, imagine Radiohead not wanting to be announced on a lineup in case they don't sell <10,000 tickets in London.

If it's already confirmed by then that they're not subbing Adele, perhaps the eFests contingent can cheer themselves up by leading a rendition of Someone Like You as soon as Radiohead finish up.

Muse+Coldplay* not good enough for you?

*Yes, I'm aware that this comparison was far more apt about 15 years ago.

I think you're in a minority on here. Friday's clashes are so bad, that LCD on Sunday would be a dream for a lot of people.

(Shrugs) Not much that interests me on the Friday so far. Im sure there will be but at the minute LCD on Friday would be splendid, leaving me free for a bit of EW&F Sunday.

 

That said, as long as either are on the Sunday the big plus is having something Sunday evening to really look forward to. Makes a big difference to the energy levels on Sunday.

Has anyone allocated words/letters yet? I could wear the Ming from PERFORMING, if that helps.

This is just cruel. It will have 0 foundation.

Yep, there's nothing better than having one of your favourites to look forward to on the last night. You know that however good a time you are having at any point during the festival, that there is something even better still to come.

I guess the last time it happened for me was nick cave in 2013 (albeit he was 2nd top). Though I was looking forward to massive attack the other year. Chems, not so much.

Kendrick is free that weekend. And he's possibly the second likeliest act to sub Adele after Radiohead as it stands.

We always assume huge acts in remaining slots but it never ever happens haha

Apart from The Who, Paul Weller and The Libertines last year of course.

Not sure if I'm familiar with those names?

[Spindles]

There have been a few larger surprises on the later poster in recent years.  It hasn't all been clog dancing and nose flute to puff out the lunchtime slots.

2/3 of that list were considered massive disappointments on here when they were announced.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And the other 1 was considered a massive disappointment when they played.

Doesn't change the fact they are big names.

Really? I've only seen that from people who weren't overly familiar with The Libertines. They were never gonna give a polished performance, I thought they were brilliant and I seen a lot of positive reviews on here afterwards.

As Jparx says, the original point wasn't related to that, it was about 'huge' acts which you can't deny they were.
