WS_Jack_III Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 So obviously the festival isn't on this year and usually we're all speculating about how the line up would look. For a bit of fun, I thought we could book what this year would have looked like or what we'd hope it would've looked like. So, let's make a long list for the main stages (Pyramid, Other, West Holts, John Peel, The Park) Based on last year across the 3 days on all these stages, we need roughly 140 acts. We could have votes to settle arguments about who should go where. I'll start with a few names I think would have been on: Jack White First Aid Kit Orbital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I reckon we'd have got QOTSA as headliners, Chvrches, Nick Cave and Jack White as subs and at least one of Bjork and Nine Inch Nails as Other stage headliners. I think it would have been similar to 2014 where the headliners weren't quite at the same level as the ones we've had in the last couple of years but the undercard would have been strong.

Yeah I'd take the likes of Mad Cool, NOS Alive, BKS, DTRH and BBK Live lineups into account for the pool of acts around at the time and they all look pretty strong. I guess for another headliner, Sam Smith maybe woulda scheduled his US tour differently and headlined the Sunday. Can't really place who else might have headlined - maybe GNR woulda been snatched away from Download? 23 minutes ago, WS_Jack_III said: First Aid Kit Did you miss them last year?

dentalplan Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Also Alanis Morrissette is doing European festivals the one year in six that there's no Glastonbury, which I assume she'd find rather ironic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a new album just out and it isn't a rule that you can't be on in consecutive years. What would Norman Cook have done with his summers these past 15 years.

I guess if they were struggling to fill a headline slot then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace56blaa Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 FRIDAY PYRAMID: Queens of The Stone Age The Weeknd OTHER: Chase and Status PARK: David Byrne SATURDAY: PYRAMID: Kendrick Lamar Jack White OTHER: Bjork PARK: Fleet Foxes SUNDAY: Beyonce Noel Gallager's High Flying Birds Frank Ocean OTHER: Gorillaz PARK: Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs Just a very inaccurate guess, perhaps N*E*R*D, Damian Marley and Soulwax on West Holts (though don't know how big nerd is as far as festival lineup but probs would be pyramid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Dno but I bet The Natty would have played this year instead of last year and consequently not have played a million unreleased songs. Not that I remember them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was cancelled for being too shite. 5 minutes ago, priest17 said: Was it as big as everyone thought it would be? But seriously, it did well, but not Sheeran/Adele numbers. The idea of him headlining Glastonbury still seems like a push to me, not because he isn't big enough, but just because unlike those other two artists there's just nothing to him. Much like you, his album release totally passed me by and seems to have fallen off without making too much of an impact outside of his diehard fans.

Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I reckon the headliners could've been Depeche Mode, Arctic Monkeys, Taylor Swift. I would say The Killers instead of AM, but then Glasto would've got 2 of the would-be IoW headliners. Subs being Chvrches, Skepta & Queens of the Stone Age.

Glastonbury apparently don’t pay enough for Depeche Mode so they’d probably still have played IOW. I have doubts that Taylor Swift would or will ever agree to play Glastonbury either - between the small fee and apparently she’s not a fan of festivals. Guess Arctics would fit well with their tour dates but it’d likely be just the one album since last playing so idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery operated of course so as to help with the biodegradable nature of Chris Martins gifts to the planet/Glastonbury fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I doubt anyone ever claimed he would be selling like Adele and Sheeran (his schtick is that he’s a budget Adele so obviously he’s never breaking that barrier) but if that’s what pop acts have to achieve to headline then let’s just call it off - nobody’s got a hope.
