2013 Headliners

[cwaite123]

to all the above. my reason is that they'll take no less than headline now I wouldn't imagine and they didn't like it at all apparantly last time. Not exactly one of those, wow glasto we've gotta come back bands and for the money they'll get, they won't bother and just play where the pay day will be IMO.

Radiohead, The Roses, The Stones, Lady GaGa - 3 of those I expect will do a lot more more glasto than AF will

[gazza_20]

Arcade Fire aren't that too bothered about big pay cheques, they donate quite a bit of their money they earn to charity, especially their own charity to help Haiti, so I don't think the lower money offered by Glasto will be that much of a big deal

[Andre91]

Although I'm not a big fan of Arcade Fire, I think they'd be perfect headlining the Pyramid. They've worked really hard to get to where they are, and like it has been mentioned, they do a lot of great things for charity. They headlined Reading and I heard it was a brilliant set. So with another album which will probably be as acclaimed at their last, it just seems logical that they should headline imo.

*EDIT* Also, just to say, Arcade Fire is one awesome band name

Playing somewhere they made a point of not liking though would be. Doing that at somewhere that excites them would be a different issue. I still feel much more is around for glasto and AF would be better at IOW.

Could AF play the Other Stage? The Prodigy did in 2009 while heading IOW

[gazza_20]

Granted, but my own personal prediction is they will play Glasto and T, Glasto for the acclaim and T for the 'money', similar to what Muse and Coldplay done recently. AF will not play the Other in 2011 there was talk of that as AF were posted as a rumour on here, as they have headlined Reading and sold out Hyde Park since, I can only see them headlining

[Andre91]

Hmm I guess so. I will say AF for T would be different from he same old repeat stuff but providing they do, does Biffy Clyo, Arcade Fire and The Killers/Muse sound good? To me personally, with Biffy making the step up, it needs something a little stronger and 3 out of Biffy, The Killers, Muse and GaGa IMO would do that.

[gazza_20]

For some reason, I can see TITP getting Kings of Leon. Biffy, KOL and either Muse or The Killers would be my prediction.

[fatyeti24]

I don't see anything to suggest KOL returning yet though.

[MEGABOWL]

I agree but I think it's more a want for them not to.

[dingbat2]

I just have a feeling there will be some sort of Pink Floyd connection next year so I am going for....

Roger Waters or Dave Gilmour / arcade Fire / Gaga

[dingbat2]

It would be the biggest coup in the history of festivals to get both Gilmour and waters together. Very very unlikely to happen unfortunately, but oh my god just think,....

Just One of the two and I will be a very happy man

I could definitely see Arcade Fire playing. If they do they'd headline but I could see them subbbing someone like The Rolling Stones or someone else of that stature.

[GlastoSimon]

As rexclark just said, the only way I could see AF not headlining is subbing The Rolling Stones. I can't think of anybody else big enough for them to sub.

They'd put on a brilliant show as headliners though I think, was disappointed they didn't stop off at Glasto in 2011!

I don't think Gilmour will ever play Glastonbury after the unpleasantness when Rick passed.

[sifi]

It was RW's dying wish to play Glastonbury, but kol had already been booked. Eavis didn't want bump kol, so Gimour and Wright didn't play, and I think Gilmour got upset and angry about it.

[gazza_20]

Something like

The Stone Roses

Plan B

Daft Punk

Lady GaGa

FATM

Jack White

The Rolling Stones

Arcade Fire

The Black Keys

Would be pretty strong IMO

To be fair, Gilmour probably knew what Eavis and most other people didn't, that rick might not have long left. Wasn't public knowledge at that stage as far as I can recall.

Eavis is still an idiot for not doing it. Fuck KoL

[Ed209]

agreed. Roger was awesome in 2002. Plus having seen him there saved me having to part with a zillion quid to see his wall tour (although I would have paid it had I known he was going to be joined by Gilmour and Mason... grrr)

[Ed209]

On another note. What the hell was going on in Eavis's head that he chose Rod Stewart to headline over Waters.

Terrible decision
