Headliners 2015

[ThomZorke]

For a change Matt, I think you might be on to something, I don't see them holding off until June 1st to announce Muse, doesn't make any sense

It does though make sense that it could be the same act as playing glasto, someone that's not currently active and won't announce a return until then, il leave it with my thoughts for now

There are two struggling festivals in Germany from May 29-31, "Rockavaria" and "Rock Im Revier". They belong together, one of them had to move because of low ticket sales. It's quite a ridiculous story, but because they're both having Muse as a headliner, as well as a festival in Austria that weekend by the same organiser, it's almost an open secret that Lollapalooza will announce Muse on June 1st.

Nah it's Muse. They can't announce until that date because it's the day after they play two German fests they are exclusive to. Even if it doesn't end up being Muse, I can't work out why it would be connected when they're almost three months apart.

Would Muse REALLY do Download one week and then Glasto the following week??

Just don't see that

[neil999]

they cant do a line up plus tba as everyone will speculate that the tba is prince...i guess

No. I'm saying Muse are Lollapalooza's TBA act.

He means Muse for Lollapalooza, they're already ruled out of Glastonbury.

Metallica did Glastonbury, then Sonisphere in the space of a week.

Although I don't think it's them

Il take your trusted word on it dental, I hadn't really looked into it really just seemed odd to me

They can't, they're busy

[Bonehead> Clapton]

This has got my hopes up for The Roses again now! ffs!

[Matt42]

I feel like this whole "can't announce till June" whatever just shows how much pressure Glasto are under to get massive acts every year.

If you get what I mean, feels like they must feel pressured to take these loophole methods to book massive acts.

[pentura]

It won't be Muse, unless you consider 4 years as someone they've been "trying to book for years"

[sinhala]

Carry On Glastonbury

[CaledonianGonzo]

If this 'can't announce due to contracts' update is on the level, it's a further dent to the aspirations of the only 3 people hoping for Florence of AAaaaaarrrggghabia

[Icewulf]

That and the fact that they are playing in Belgium on the Sunday!

[A Guy Called Matt]

So someone with a tour that ends at the end of May?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Zero_Newnab]

When did the final resales end in previous years? If it was the end of May/early June then I'd say that's a good shout at being the reason for the delay.

[CJTM]

When/If we get an initial mini poster like last year and see the Sunday pyramid sub, we might get a clearer picture on who it might be, and jump to our own more precise conclusions...as if we don't do that enough anyway

[sloseph]

as if we've gone 2 pages of contract talk without anyone bringing up the mac

[Bonehead> Clapton]

I dont know why people refuse to believe the Roses could be a possibility! maybe ME has to wait till june beacuse the roses are going to announce a new album, and warm up shows for glasto? im not sure they would announce there comeback via glasto headline slot. and its clear they have been doing something in these 3 years! recent pictures and rumours. Also Ian brown and Mani just not activley making music, just doesnt seem right. A new album is coming defo (I hope) lol, glasto...im not sure!

[dentalplan]

Well I'm just trusting other people's words on it. It seems consistent with the small bandname gap on the poster.

Yeah. I don't like it, personally. Seems that there are current acts working hard and champing at the bit to get to the top of the lineup but instead it's decidedly better to have to play by the rules of these mega acts that have only just heard about Glastonbury or something.

edit: I mean, if it's true, that is. I'm not convinced.

Haha didn't see that! Seen people going on about Muse here so thought I'd join in!

The Who playing Hyde Park on the Friday! Dunno if they've been ruled out on here or not?

[Bradders]

Should be pointed out that Prince has no problem with a festival he's playing at using his name to sell tickets. That would be completely nonsensical, like making a venue sell tickets to a concert he was playing without being allowed to say it was him. His problem was that he thought Glastonbury was using rumours of him playing to sell tickets when he wasn't.

If it is him, and it is for contractual reasons that he can't be announced yet, it won't have anything to do with resales.
