For some weird reason I think the libertines may have chosen a lower slot at glastonbury over reading...

Nothing but a hunch, maybe they weren't even asked for reading. I know its the sun but they do have a track record of sometimes knowing and publishing things pretty early.

That's it. You've officially become gazza, I don't know how you've managed it, but that post is fucking eerily reminiscent of the shit he used to post all the time

which it is

if they really cared about that they wouldn't book *any* headliners from the previous year's Glasto

well the headliner pool is pretty thin as it is so i guess every once in a while they have to, but to book TWO of Glastonbury's headliners would basically be saying 'Glastonbury is better so we're just gonna copy them'. be very surprised if it happens

They can get away with one, but two's a bit much

meh, surely it depends on who the bands in question are. would they have cancelled AM's spot in 2014 if the Stones had for some reason turned to Melvin and said they wanted to play after the success of their Glasto slot?

kasabian are such a stronger booking than The Vaccines that for example i just think that if it came down to a choice between those two they'd go for Kasabian all day long.

Well, no. But Kasabian aren't the Rolling Stones

I'm going for Linkin Park as the top 10 headliner, as I don't think they're similar enough to Metallica to rule them out on that basis.

To even it out though I think if you chuck in Libertines as a "lighter" band, could be our top 3? Just my opinion...

it's not even that they're too similar - it'd just be a bit weird for them to go for two fairly 'heavy' headliners when they've barely even had one heavy headliner each year lately

not the point. point is if that alleged 'rule' is in any way dependent on who the bands in question are then they should absolutely break it if it means them booking Kasabian rather than The Vaccines. The difference in day ticket sales would be unreal.

I fear this too

Kings of Leon, Metallica, Mumford and sons would be the strongest trio they've had in years

shreds the reputation as a festival at the cutting edge of exciting new music but would in theory totally subvert the demographic buying tickets, and would still sell out, so job done.
