Jpw48 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 The only person I can think of that fits the bill is Noel he doesn't actually have dates on the sunday night does he? Saw Noel and the birds a few weeks back and they have most definitely got what it takes to be Pyramid headliners, but I can't see it being this year. Even without the Oasis tunes his set is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobinup Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 The only person I can think of that fits the bill is Noel "An act they've been trying to get for years" NGHFB have only existed for four years never mind been an elusive headliner for yonks.

Zardoz67 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Tony Visconti said that Bowie had put his health problems behind him and that he is 'fighting fit'. If he managed to keep recording an album secret is it beyond the realms of possibility that he would be able to keep rehearsals for performing live secret? With David Bowie Is... packing them in around the world and a huge 3CD career retrospective in the shops now would be perfect. I know it's clutching at straws but I would die happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I mean, clutching but... maybe they can't announce him because of lattitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Mouse Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've decided to take this line until the announcement. Expect disappointment. Pray for heaven. Expect Prince. Pray for Bowie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Alt-J are seemingly being held back because of lattitude for R&L... so it's not unheard of. But.. I highly doubt it but at this stage you can't rule out the possibility with emily saying they wait for shows to sell out before announcing headliners.

Djb.com Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Oh yeah, I completely agree there's a huge difference, but my point was that if it is genuinely a huge act then there could well have been leaks by associated people by now. The fact we know his team are so good at keeping secrets just gives me that little bit of hope. Personally I'd love Prince or Bowie, or just about anyone else as well. However now I have two offers of cake, I'm well and truly rooting for the Thin White Duke. We'd only ever know if it was Bowie until the lineup was out but Neil's saying that he fits the criteria and it's definitely possible for him to do it and people are promising cake, there is some pretty solid evidence for this.

I can assure you that everyone with an R&L ticket knows it's Alt-J and is happy for it to remain as special guest than have it billed as Alt-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st dan Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 In regards to Bowie .. As unlikely as it is .. What a way it would be to mark his live comeback! Closing the biggest festival in the world with a huge TV audience watching would be the perfect way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djb.com Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Waters bringing a mini wall to block up the Pyramid? I would love to see that show again, Glastonbury would be an amazing place to do it and they could get Gilmour and Mason to come and do a bit, we could technically have a reunion?

GlastoSimon Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Jeff Lynne's ELO? That would suit (kind of) solo, probably an act they've been after for a long time, but 'massive'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Jeff Lynne's ELO? could be, tho that doesn't really fit the "been after for years" bit, as Glasto are unlikely to have been chasing an act that wasn't performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djb.com Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 it doesnt fit the bill of a solo act but it would be a massive surprise hence the secrecy.......reunion of the classic lineup of guns n roses? theres been talk over the last year the members are on better terms and speak of a reunion one day has picked up pace a little........would that be headline worthy? http://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n-roses-reunion-prediction/http://loudwire.com/duff-mckagan-guns-n-roses-reunion-velvet-revolver-singer-auditions/ Guns N Roses would be more problematical than Prince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
