No fourth headliner

[daveinafield]

Blur came about in 1989....20 years old isn't newish i was only 5 when they were at the top of there game (i'm 19 now).

[ralph250]

On another note though. can everyone please stay calm and remember that the 3 headliners are on the pyramid. the other stage will have 3 more as will jazzworld and the jp tent.

[daveinafield]

no pleasing some people is there.

You don't like the older acts, so you moan. Then you dont like the new acts either.

Wait til the line up is announced before throwing your little hissy fit you spolit little boy.

[russycarps]

2003; david gray, flaming lips, manic street preachers

[barney73]

Agreed, also the penultimate slot on all days is generally a reasonably big act or a promising act on it's way up.

2008; fratellis, winehouse, cohen

2007; kasabian, kooks, kaiser chiefs

2005; killers, new order, primal scream

2004; kings of leon, black eyed peas, morrisey

2003; david gray, flaming lips, manic street preachers

2002; faithless, charlatans, roger waters.

...also regards all the comments regards age weighting for the lineup, for every Young, Springsteen, Christie etc, there's an animal collective, bon iver, fleet foxes, florence and the machine, little boots etc.

The headliner in 2005 was coldplay and not the killers.

[Matt 100]

I take it from what Neil is saying that it wasn't Coldplay, which was the obvious choice.

So it would be very interesting to know who it was - perhaps they had a last minute ego check and realised that they (whoever they are) should be properly headlining and not playing second fiddle to anyone (even if it is the Boss). Muse? Radiohead? Oasis? I'm sure it'll come out soon.

It'd be nice if Doves could be shunted from their JP headlining spot to this newly vacant one. It'd cure a major clash headache for me (with Neil Young apparently - booooo) and many others! Plus would be an ace warm up to the Boss.

Failing that then I'd vote for The White Stripes or maybe Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Or maybe Elbow could be persuaded?

nah, it was nothing to do with egos or anything - just a set of circumstances that has stopped it being able to happen.

[Un Adepte Des Raconteurs]

The headliner in 2005 was coldplay and not the killers. new order were on before coldplay.

[emmmmma]

If it was Radiohead then I will cry.

I got the impression it was coldplay, someone who most would consider a headlinin act, who has headlined before & with all the rumours pointin at coldplay & the gap in there tour. Who knows, it will come out eventually

except I've not said that they've headlined before.

[Mr Ploppy]

F#ck sake so in other words were stuck with 3 headliners aimed at old aged pensioners... yipee :|

Would it of killed glastonbury to book atleast 1 headliner us youngesters care about?

Or is Michael Eavis that out of touch that he classes Blur as a young band still?

Just read on the BBC Tony Christie is appearing now

Add him to the list with Rolf Harris, and Tom Jones

Pathetic.

I believe that list is showing who did the penultimate slots on the Pyramid each day, not the headliners

[daveinafield]

Spoilt little boy?

Don't act like you know me just from this 5 minute conversation on an internet forum you've read.

And i love 'new acts' and 'Old acts' just more along the lines of Muse, kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Linkin Park for new and Led Zep, AC/DC, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Boston for old.

[Abbathehorse]

yeah I misunderstood, fuddled monday morning head! however the killers weren't the penultimate slot. new order were with coldplay headlining.

[barney73]

Did the Killers not do the penultimate set on the Friday? New Order on the Saturday?

[Sam Crawley]

Boston??? jeez would love to have seen the reaction if they were headling

[ralph250]

Muse, Bruce Springsteen, Blur

Headliner for every generation going to glasto.
