Headliners 2015

I think if you listen to one direction and think they're talented at any point in your life then it is in crisis.

Unless when she signed on the dotted line ages ago they agreed she would be announced in the second batch - Glastonbury get a big press name for wave 2 and also incase her BST gig hadn't sold out.

I NEED MORE STRAWS OVER HERE STAT

This is a good point.

Whilst we are talking about crap music. Take that for sub? I don't think Glastonbury would want them headlining despite arguably being headliner size. This would possibly be viewed as a great penultimate? A fucking shite one for me. Tour dates are just far too convenient.

[Spindles]

I'm 2005 I saw Van Morrison and he was 5th down, has his popularity increased since then to mean he would be 3rd down?!

The skrillex collaboration has really brought him into the attention of the kids, plus the upcoming Calvin Harris remix of Brown eyed girl with a guest spot from Nicki Minaj going on about eating ass should really catapult him back into the charts.

No idea. Depends what's around them I suppose - but that's what Michael said. If it's wrong it is wrong.

[Mouseboy11]

Brainwash in Shangri-La have said they're announcing May 11th...should we expect something around then?

Also, Swift would have to play four days in a row to play the Sunday at Glasto. She isn't doing that at all on her whole world tour.

No. just no. stop mentioning them. not headliner, not sub, not anything, especially not a great penultimate. fucking dreadful. The thought of that tax dodging tory prat Barlow being anywhere near Glastonbury is horrible, let alone him bringing his goons with him and boring the pyramid with his / their turgid attempt at music.

^^^^^ This

Take That? Disagree.. Bloody awful tosh

I'm not sure I buy this as a particularly good reason to rule her out. I think it's something that would effect someone like Fleetwood Mac a lot more.

It might be a part of the decision making but I just don't see a Taylor Swift type thinking 'everything about this offer is great but I couldn't possibly do four nights in a row'. Could be part of the reason for turning Glastonbury down (if it was even offered etc) but I'd be surprised if it was a deal breaker.

Friday's not 4 nights in a row tho

But then once the BST gig did sell out they'd probably just move her to the first announcement.

[Fivefingerjohn]

I wonder what the difference is between take that and Kylie? They are both terrible but some people seem to like one but not the other?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I suppose it depends if the BST date is actually sold out or if it's just tactics & they'll release more nearer to the time.

I doubt she'll end up playing, but I wouldn't completely rule her out just yet.

A lot of acts (probably the majority of established acts) simply do not play more than three days in a row to protect their voice.

[Bisque]

Sorry but that Taylor Swift link is blocked in this country, what's the just? Thanks

People are allowed to like some pop music and not others...

Says if you're 42 and listen to Swift you're having a midlife crisis.

[sime]

It's just the Daily Heil being a bossy nanny again.

I could be wrong but I think one's an Australian bird, and the other's 3 middle aged British blokes?

Never been very good at this game though.

[Bignews]

If we're saying that they would announce swift in the first announcement if they could, why would they keep anyone back for the second announcement, maybe they're keeping it back to give the announcement a bit of ooomph, just an idea?

[Bisque]

I would imagine TS getting lots of media attention.

But still don't see a reason not to announce her unless she's tied up with her BST contract.

[sheffieldlady]

Be nice to give the second announcement more oomph, it would just be nice to have something more. Greedy I know. I can't wait till June?!

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Foo Fighters, Kanye West, Fleetwood Mac

So far, so good... in the right order too!

[alframsey]

Are we any closer to knowing who it might be? Michael's comment initially had me intrigued but then Emily pissed all over them even if her comments were just as intriguing in their own way; Personally I have absolutely no idea who it might be and I am starting to lose my mind guessing.
