Ed/Foos are both boring you aren't wrong. There haven't be too many amazing headliners in recent years I don't think. There have been good ones but nothing like Muse 2004

Yeah, when I first started looking at rumours I was getting a bit agitated that nothing was for me, then had a look at old line ups and I think since 2014 there would be 2 headliners I'd have got out of my way to see (Arcade Fire and Kanye West), I guess there are multiple stages for a reason

They have subbed. So natural progression is heading the other stage or the pyramid. I love them personally so im more than happy they headline the other

Idk if I see them as Pyramid headliners yet personally, and I'm a huge fan! Would love them to pop up, although I'll undoubtedly see them on tour anyway so maybe it doesn't matter

It's because they've done nothing of note for over a decade, and really they've been riding one album for 18 years now.

That said, The Stone Roses have managed similar.

Opinions again though

I absolutely love their 2nd and 3rd records. Angles is pretty good as well, not so much the last one

Certainly don't ride on that one album for me

Thing is though their set lists are usually 90% of that album, even the band know their riding it.

The 2nd coming is just as good as their first imo. But both their albums imo have eclipsed anything the strokes have done.

There's no reason to believe Jennifer, and even if she is right they may have moved on from whoever she meant.  I just think its interesting that she said she didn't think we'd guess.  What name does she think has NOT been suggested???  Even Slayer on the Park could have been true.

Personally I think it's between Gaga or The Strokes.

If that's right, I hope it's Gaga as I know I have no interest in seeing her. I might be tempted to see The Strokes in the hope they play those two songs they have but even fans of theirs say they are dull live so I know I'd regret it.

Catching up here but is there anything to rule out The Killers? Secret set went down a storm and they're about next year.

I'm resigned to it being someone quite uninteresting at this point. The chances are they've got an act that we already know is touring next year, and the majority of those are quite "meh" options. Best case scenario is Gaga but I'll be stunned if they pull something like that off.

Remember Emily saying they are future headliners 

Fair enough, maybe in that case I should lump on them to headline. I spoke with Melvin Benn at Reading 2013 and spoke about Foals, he said he loves them and that maybe they could headline 2016 and for whatever reason I didn't put money on it

Radiohead played 90% of OK Computer in 2017 tho so

Slightly different considering it was the 20th anniversary of its release (the re-issue actually came out the day of the show IIRC).

The Strokes have been farting out Is This It plus the singles from the other albums for years now.

Yeh its complete bollox that they ride on one album. 1st and 2nd are incredible, 3rd is decent, can give or take 4, and i love 5!

Unlikely I know, but just throwing the possibility out there. Wonder if they've been in contact with their mate Damon and got a one off Blur show lined up. Don't believe it myself but since the conversation is flowing...

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
