Are there any other BST headliners forthcoming or are The Killers the last of it?

The email I got said they were the final ones.

 

Interesting set of headlines for BST, can imagine it being another year of maybe underwhelming ticket sales

There's usually one of the top names from Bst at Glastonbury,  I think this year looks like it'll be an exception

Yup.  I was thinking they might still have the Stones up their sleeves, but I guess they might opt for the Olympic Stadium.

[Noeliam]

Royal Blood announced their first festival 

 

Also good to see that Mew is touring

Also, check out Lorde's position at this festival:

Messaged Car Seat Headrest on Facebook, asking if they are doing UK Festivals, and they replied "I think we will!"

Hope they make it to Glastonbury. Their new album was awesome.

Really scraping the barrel for bands names now aren't we?

[the wonderwhy]

Definitely up for some Tears For Fears and Mew 

[Ovechkin]

Yes to the couple of danish acts, Mew and Mö

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Back to the sound like Train and the second album. Always liked them.

I'll be surprised if ID and RB aren't there.

I don't think it makes them anymore likely myself.

Once you've convinced yourself what happens next?

[thewayiam]

I think for RTJ, it's WHs sub, Other 3rd or JP headliner.

i'm realising by some of posts here how few of you actually lived thru the 80s. No one who lived it wants to revisit.

Also this.

Where do you put them, mind? They scream late Saturday afternoon on the Pyramid to me - but I could see them as an outside shout for West Holds headliner perhaps? 

[dingbat2]

I would love to see Goldfrapp back again - seen them loads of times over the years, last time at West Holts in 2014 - a real greatest hits set - really enjoyed it Havent heard the new song yet, glad it sounds a biy like Train, it would be nice to get back to the dirty electro sound of early albums, They have announced a gig in March a the Roundhouse so expect a few more dates/festivals. One of my favourite electronic bands, 

+1 for Tears for Fears, one of the best 80s/early 90s bands around, some absolutely cracking tunes on every album in my opinion, and great live. 

[Alex DeLarge]

Anyone up for an Elastica reunion?

[dingbat2]

I suspect Elbow are ruled out for all the reasons mentioned above, but also becuase they love the festival and usually spend the whole weekend at Worthy Farm (as far as I know). They wont be able to do that this year if they have gigs elsewhere on both Saturday and Sunday.

I still think Elbow will be there even if I do take off my elbow fan boy glasses!

Can't believe as of next Wednesday we'll be able to think the first poster will be with us next month...
