2014 Headliner predictions

[arcade fireman]

Im confident Depeche Mode would get a big crowd if not from UK fans from foreign fans who will tag Glastonbury on to a DM concert. They are HUGE out of the UK, and fairly big in the UK

[Dead throne]

Slayer reunited

Muse

A Dell

[bsolxiv]

Any two of the three "announced" bands would be fine alongside radiohead or arcade fire IMO

[olive123]

I can't go next year for the first time in five so the rumoured headliners would be perfect for me.

Snooze fest.

[TheNewUnion]

It does make a change from the normal Radiohead, Daft Punk, Prince we normally go thought at this time of year though. Personally, I'd probably want to see all 3 of them, but there's a lot of time between now and then.

A little selection of our probable headliners, for those claiming ignorance about any of them.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

i doubt any of those 3 will headline next year. I don't see any chance of Glasto getting Daft Punk - they won;t give them that slot over another band that is more suited for the fest.

[greenArmy12]

Depeche mode are the real elephant in the room. Most people think FM are legends so will be happy to have them, most younger poeple wont have a clue though. Elbow are quite pleasant and I could see most people 'understanding' why they're headlining even if they dont want to go and see them. DM on the other hand arent massively popular with young people or older people and imo would get a small crowd. Plus the other two look a lot more acceptable if you have a 'younger' band or someone a lot more popular to people in their 20s.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Nail on the head here, FM aren't to my personal taste but have the status to headline, Elbow whilst I personally don't see them as headliners have always been a favourite with the glasto crowd and I would not begrudge them a shot but DM is one i don't really understand, never really had a massive fan base as far as I'm aware, won't attract the younger crowd, I could possibly be wrong but I don't see a big crowd for them, would a portishead type slot on the other be more suited?

[greenArmy12]

Ok so being someone who doesn't pay much attention to the European markets would they draw a crowd at a UK festival? I know people do come from around the world.

I think DM would get a dangerously big crowd on the Other Stage, but an almost embarrassingly small crowd if they headlined the Pyramid. Bit awkward really, they should probs just stay at home.

[Big Vern]

Who in past years has had similar debate as to whether or not they should headline the Pyramid and what crowd did they attract?

Hopefully it will be John Craven presenting a mash up of newsround bulletins from the 80s.

Progressive curation is somewhat lacking these days i feel.

New Order Feat. John Barnes?

[FloorFiller]

Looking at other festivals or looking at other stages?

[pedmills]

ha, other stages. i'm not stupid enough to give up on Glastonbury because of the headliners (although, despite it definitely selling out regardless of the headliners, i think those three would have a lot of people venturing to other festivals, regardless of the undercard, as the headliners obviously mean a lot more to some than others. i'd be quite happy to not have to see a Pyramid headliner and to be able to be elsewhere)

[Vieuphoria]

My prediction would be:

Fleetwood Mac

Take That

The Stone Roses

[Amy Lawn]

Take That
