Headliners 2015

[Matt42]

Madness, Follow Me, Undisclosed Desires and Guiding Light would go down well there

They could throw in Neutron Twilight Sell Out Collison to.

Because "I don't wanna miss a thing" was such a moshing anthem.

To be fair a lot of Download's audience are classic rock fans, and stuff like that will go down well.

If Muse were to play I'm not sure how well the songs listed above would go down. Although they'd probably sell a lot of day tickets to their own fans, so it may not be that bad.

[jonodillieono]

if Muse are getting announced tonight for that green man hell festival, surely they are a stick on for Glastonbury?

What?

I don't even know what festival is...

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I read it as Green Man but they don't suit that at all

You must spend your time on this forum constantly confused if this is truly the case.

[GuitarManDan15]

I highly doubt Taylor Swift will headline BST and Glaston. I think she'd have the pull for one of the two, but not both.

She doesn't have to. One is already sold out...

I imagine the Hyde Park tickets will be snapped up very quickly

Yeah, think about the colossal wastage of time involved with it.

I think so, personally. I think it announces tomorrow and it might not even announce all three but it looks like they're meant to be headlining that. We heard a while back that they were in talks and it's not like bands can headline other festivals on the first year of an album tour and come back to Glastonbury so if they're gonna headline Glastonbury in the next few years it'll be next year, right? Sounds convoluted but crucially I think they're playing.

Plus, sadly, with every festival AC/DC aren't announced for across Europe it looks more like they've chosen to do their own gigs. Fair enough really considering it'll be their last tour and their last shot at making touring money and playing AC/DC gigs. Don't know who this oldie that Eavis mentioned the other day would be without them. Elton?

I wouldn't rule out AC/DC yet... there's still some massive festivals which haven't released anything yet

for all we know their festival legs could be Glastonbury, Roskilde, Werchter etc and plenty that haven't announced yet.

but with Foo Fighters looking increasingly more likely do we really think they'd book both Muse and Foos in the same year? i know technically they're both different musically but i've always personally lumped them in to the same 'generic commercial slightly heavy arena rock' bracket. maybe it's the Foos info that's off but i'm seeing them as being more likely

I still say Adele is more likely (Y)

[FloorFiller]

than... Foos or Muse? or both?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

more likely than both being there in the same year, and more likely than Muse being there

Foos

Taylor

Adele

Muse

is my current theory of likeliness

edited because Foos not Fuse.

To be honest, I don't think it's unlikely if they've got a very different 3rd

Also, I don't see similarities between foos and muse... appart from they are two massive rock bands. If a festival had an opportunity to get two massive bands on their bill they'd surely go for it?

[CaledonianGonzo]

From the likely available options, an AC/DC, The Foo Fighters and Taylor Swift treble would be about their best stab at satisfying the broadest possible demographic.

Well they seem to have French stadium shows lined up instead of Hellfest and if the only German festivals that could home them have announced other bands then it looks like they're doing that in Germany too.

I dunno if they'd actually think about that when booking. They're two massive bands that Glastonbury would probably jump at the opportunity to book. Generic radio rock bands are the most popular headliners of any big festivals so I don't see why they shouldn't.

I'm googling green man hell festival and I'm still none the wiser, green man is the only one that comes up and I know it's obviously not that

it's Green Hell Festival (or Grune Holle)

[jonodillieono]

ohhhhhhhh the new Rock Am Ring, I'm onto it. So Muse are looking likely to play that or almost certain?

There's been info somewhere that they have Muse, Metallica and KISS headlining.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I don't think Foos and Muse are so similar to stop them. Yes, they're broadly in the same bracket but I'd argue so were Mumford and Arctics or U2 and Coldplay.

Be bloody dull though...

[Lubic]

Instagram shows Muse are back in the studio to finish off the album. Imagine they'll do a Coldplay 2011 and tour a few Euro festivals to promote it

[Mardy]

Muse and the Foos? you'd need someone pretty fucking spectacular and with mass appeal to fill that 3rd headliner slot then.

Would need something different, sure, but I think those bands would have the mass appeal thing covered.
