2014 Headliner predictions

[Matt87]

Since most of us are trying desperately to pass the time before heading down I thought it might be fun to ask everyone for their 2014 headliner predictions. It's been stated that as soon as 2013 is over the rumours will be added to next year's festival, and apparently there are already some very strong rumours. Add your reasons if you feel like it too.

Here's my 3:

Fleetwood Mac - Asked this year, but toured instead. Mick Fleetwood wants to do it.

Arcade Fire - New album out later this year/early next.

The Black Keys - The Arctic Monkeys of next year. They provide rock thrills and will have a new album out by then probably.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Arcade Fire, Depeche Mode, Meetwood Flac.

Not Radio 1 enough though?

[zahidf]

Ok

Arcade Fire: Big enough now

Stone Roses: Owe the festival a headline slot

Lady Gaga: Pop act wanting credibility. Obvious headliner for the Sunday crowds

[FloorFiller]

Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, Prince

first three that came to my mind but no doubt very wrong

[the wonderwhy]

Depeche Mode/Stone Roses, Arcade Fire, Kasabian

The only one I'm sure will be there is Arcade Fire, they just have to be don't they? Will be a year overdue in my mind.

No doubt ME will say at the Sunday press conference that he's already got next year's headliners booked and give us some random clue.

I'd expect at least one of the following:

Stone Roses

Fleetwood Mac

Adele

Lady Gaga

Less likely, but vaguely possible:

Led Zep

Eminem

Bowie

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Arcade Fire

Fleetwood Mac

Adele

[swede]

Arcade Fire, Fleetwood Mac, Lady Gaga

[budvar]

Lot of talk about Arcade Fire. Wouldn't surprise me but I'm not sure they're fans. They certainly didn't seem to enjoy the experience much in 2007 (the year of the relentless rain) and they've not been back since

[TaBoosh]

Fri - Foo Fighters

Sat - The Cure

Sun - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

A man can only wish!

[Andre91]

Kasabian, Fleetwood Mac & Daft Punk.

[Rumblestripe]

2014 is purple...

Prince

Gaga

Arcade Fire

Probably AF on Friday, Prince, Saturday and Gaga to close. Probably

[mrtourette]

I've heard the same about Reading Festival. I think they just don't like festivals very much. I'd be surprised if they turned down a headline slot at arguably the biggest festival in the world.

[TheBoz]

Arcade Fire - Radiohead - Gaga/Kanye

[thewayiam]

Arcade Fire

Fleetwood Mac

and the 3rd I can't decide, I reckon The Roses could get it but I equally think Rihanna might get the spot she was being rumored for this year.

[fatyeti24]

some guitarry indie types

some ancient rock dudes

cheesey pop act

which is basically what happens most years
