2014 Headliner predictions

[dentalplan]

But there has been a potential suggestion of inside information that it may be Kasabian, therefore they are to be entered into all predictions until such time that they are proven to be unlikely or the next bit of potential inside information comes about suggesting another band (of course it goes without saying that should it turn out to be Kasabian that full credit for a correct prediction is taken even though they were only inserted into predictions once said inside information was hinted at, but it it should prove not to be Kasabian no responsibility for an incorrect prediction will be taken and the false suggestion of inside information fully blamed).

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Well that's a bleak outlook.

[thewayiam]

Just the other day you were dismissing Kasabian and saying you'd be "very surprised if they headlined next year". This is fickle even for your standards Gaz.

[dentalplan]

Realistic for the most part though.

No "bleaker" than 2013 or 2011.

Snoop's a contender as a headline act!

I think you've been talking more drugs than Snoop has.

[CardiffWanderer]

Elbow - i don't get it? They have a fantastic front man, who keeps the crowd entertained, but they scream dull Mumford-esque to me, and to headline Glastonbury? well yeah, i'd be disappointed!

[GuitarManDan15]

Seriously? What possible comparison is there between Elbow and Mumford and Sons?!

I know not everyone likes Elbow, but they've produced five amazingly original and diverse albums, won the Mercury Prize for their most commercial release, done a Destiny's Child covers with a cartoon cat video, and soundtracked the bloody Olympics.

If nothing stirs within you when you hear this, you are possibly a robot.

[PDAD]

Or you hate elbow... like I and many others do. His voice does my head in

[CardiffWanderer]

my eyelids stirred a little.. in a "shall we just close for a few minutes here?" way.

they did a Destiny's Child cover with a cartoon cat video? really...?

ok, I take it back, they're amazing!

[dentalplan]

Maybe not up Glasto's street, but he's a headline act at festivals, so he's definitely closer to headlining than being third down the bill, surely?

[Zoo Music Girl]

[Zero_Newnab]

He was third down at T this year, and 4th down when he played the festival in 2010.

[rjb94]

Despite being a big Elbow fan, I can kind of see why people find them dull - it's hardly groundbreaking, edgy stuff. Garvey is a great lyricist though.

[TheBoz]

The Sigur Ros / Justice clash in that line up above would kill me!

[thewayiam]

Was he?? Oh. Well, my bad. I thought he subbed T.

Obviously since 2010, and a lot more recently, he's headlined Bestival and kinda headlined Coachella (With a little help). I think of him as a pretty big draw, so I'd be really surprised to see him third on the bill next year.
