Headliner predictions 2017

[CaledonianGonzo]

Presumably when he played two years back he was on similarly scaled down pay.

Just watching the Justin Timberlake concert on Netflix. Big Band, Dancers, Lights and bangers. I'm all over catching him somewhere next year. Whatever you think about him, he puts on a fucking show! 

@Woffy tell the missus we can go together and hold each other up with the wobbly knee syndrome. Oh my! 

If Timbers, Bon Iver and Fleetwood Mac all play she'll be a puddle of quivering goo. 

Add @Scruffylovemonster and she'll dissolve completely. 

Although Damien Rice would have the effect of all the above combined!

But at that stage he wasn't quite of the size where he could sell out the likes of V all on his own so probably wouldn't have had quite such sizeable offers from elsewhere. I do agree with Will and all though, he has gone on record as saying he's going to do it next time out so he'd look a bit of a tit to go back on that.

[Madyaker]

I think he's still young and idealistic, plus he's from a generation of musicians to whom playing Glastonbury is the pinnacle of success, I don't think another festival could pay him to headline exclusively.

I'm on the JT bandwagon with you. He knows how to work a crowd and like you said puts on a mega show. I'd certainly prefer him as the 'pop' act over anyone else being mentioned - and I don't have any particular problem with Ed, just don't like his music - JT on the other hand has some bangers.

I'm still sticking with Gaga. Cannot see Emily not having a female headliner.

Radiohead, Gaga and 1 other. Still not sold that Sheeran can headline the Pyramid. Heck of a slot to carry on your tod with a predominately acoustic set. Would be better headlining Other if he's actually going to be active next summer.

If you can carry a predominantly acoustic show at Wembley for three nights, there's gotta be something right. Anyway, he's "going electric" for album three - presumeably so when the Nobel Prizes come knocking in fifty-five years, he can ignore their calls

Gaga's opening-three-day sale is here - 17,000 for Joanne. 11,000 was Friday only.

If she doesn't see a pick up this week, and calculating for general record deterioration throughout a sales week, I think we're looking at about 28,500 sales, possibly pushing up to 30,000 if I'm underselling her.

For comparison, Foals sold more with What Went Down (34,000 I think) in week one. Whilst Gaga may have legs, I doubt it in this market - Joanne will get a xmas boost but low down the charts.This one, folks, is officially going to be a dud by her standards.

I reckon she could still headline on the strength of those hits - but if she plays more than three or four tracks, she may lose a crowd.

Roskilde are announcing 12 (at least) acts on thursday. Same day as alive2017.com is going live (whatever that means).. let the hype begin!

1.    Born This Way
2.    Papparazi
3.    A-Yo
4.    Do What U Want
5.    Judas
6.    Just Dance
7.    Poker Face
8.    Million Reasons (Gaga piano solo)
9.    Dope (Gaga piano solo)
10.    You and I
11.    Applause
12.    Alejandro

EDIT: Bang that on as a headline set on Saturday night, it would go down a party treat probably bigger than Sheeran's lot. But then we all said Adele couldn't bring a party - and granted, she couldn't but it was still a great show.

Might waste more of my life crafting an Ed setlist now for good measure...

Well, it was meant to be, but she could ask everyone to be quiet at this point, and then storm off stage because of obnoxious Scottish people continuing to shout MON THE BIFF...

Any rumours in Sverige about who's likely to be announced?

[Rubber Soldier]

I like the Foo Fighters song where Dave Grohl sings a bit really softly, then goes into a big shouty bit. Which song is that? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

We will never, ever know.  No one's ever made it through one of their songs without tuning out and starting to daydream about cakes.

Sadly can't see her 'sticking to the hits' that much, for the ArtRave tour more than half of the setlist was Artpop album tracks. Although she might see sense for Glastonbury. I'd hope so, anyway. Also if she's going to insist on piano-ing up one of her old songs she can at least make it one of the hits, not one of the worst songs from Artpop.
