For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

Queen & Adam Lambert are still favorites with the bookies (not including cure & killers). Surely Queen karaoke cant headline glasto? 

Personally, I'd take that over The Cure... But could anyone see Queen + AL maybe taking a spot somewhere else?

I feel like they're one of those strange acts where you feel like they'd not be right to headline, but also wouldn't fit any lower

Don't see any chance that Brian May turns up on the farm...

To be fair the chilli peppers were responsible for one of the worst gigs i've ever been to and it's not just because it was at the Stadium of Light, they were just utter shite. Charged a scandalous amount of money for 2012 as well. 

Im glad I missed that cause I was gonna go being on the doorstep but something came up, cant even remember what so prob not that important. Anyway my mates went and said it was crap. 

Only been to one gig at the Stadium despite it hosting some good bands and that was Oasis simply cause I got a free ticket. Most bands whose been on ive either already seen or dont tickle me, Im still pissed off they turned the Stones down last year though.

You didn't miss much it was a truly awful gig, not helped by their shite performance and complete lack of interaction with the crowd. 

I've been to a few gigs there but it's got something missing for me although if they had gotten the stones i'd have been there as it turns out i went up to Edinburgh instead and had a fantastic weekend and one of the best gigs i've ever been to at Murrayfield.

I'd absolutely take that, and if they ever make it to the farm then they headline. Surely their positioning is not even a discussion point, even missing Freddie and with Adam Lambert. I mean admittedly I haven't seen them, but by all accounts I've heard they are bloody fantastic.

Latitude have just announced that they are making an announcement tomorrow so I’m guessing Glastonbury won’t be announcing anything as usually announcements don’t clash...

No I'll take the cure every day of the week never understand the reinvention of queen as some sort of saviour of rock . And that was with Freddie not the other bloke

The Killers were just leaked as one of the headliners for Woodstock's 50th Anniversary this year...the backlash on social media is not pretty. These guys are the epitome of a boring booking...

I don’t agree they’re boring; saw them at IOW last summer and it was great fun....underwhelming would be my take.

I think it has to do with the fact that they haven't had a "hit" in North America on either of their last 2 albums. They've played every festival 2 or 3 times now and they're approaching tblhe county fair/casino venue circuit due to their irrelevance...

Then they get booked for Woodstock...they must have a damn good booking agent...

      Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.

      2027 Stage Predictions

      By wro_lap · Posted

      Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible

      Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
