willgooneday Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I'm sorry if there's already a thread for this but I was reading a article about The Kinks earlier and couldn't help thinking they'd be instant headliners if they got their act together and one of the few artists of their generation who could do it. This is the list I came up with The Kinks Led Zeppelin Oasis R.E.M ABBA (if they actually do tours) The Police The Stone Roses Obviously there's lots more defunct bands that could easily headline Glasto.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Stone Roses is probably almost as unlikely as The Smiths by this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verrymerry Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Oh god not ABBA, the ear worms would be horrendous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 They would only get Oasis or R.E.M out of that whole list since those seem feasible and The Kinks on the off chance. They literally cannot afford the rest of them and money is a bigger driving force nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario man Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 (edited) Seriously though, it’s R.E.M. Edited June 25 by mario man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPorter Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Talking Heads. Another one that I can never see happening though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Oasis is the only one I can see happening and playing at the festival for the reduced fee as they're both big fans of Glastonbury. The others less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 There were rumours of The Kinks playing Glasto a few years ago, but it’s looking unlikely now. I don’t think they’d headline if they did play tbh. Out of the list in the original thread, I’d say Oasis is the only likely one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northtim Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 The answer is REM, that’s it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 If I was to choose anyone to headline in 2023 for example, it would be REM. That would make me splurge like an eclair hit by Paddington Bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wghennessy Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Oasis for me but it wouldnt surprise me to see Girls Aloud to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 You all know who I'm saying but it'll never happen. I'd love R.E.M too as i never saw them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be in this really weird cycle of claiming their making new music and then claiming they can't work with each other. I get why they might not headline because their such an old band, but I think with their back catalogue they'd easily do a headline slot justice.

FunkyChunkyMonkey Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 REM. And Fugazi for Avalon stage but please no clash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmers_of_hope Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 The Clash. Although it would be weird without Joe Strummer it wouldn't be impossible. And if there was anywhere they would play then glasto would be the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Depeche Mode please, I know they're not technically split but guessing they'll be taking some time to think about the future after the sad loss of Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
