Headliners 2015

I'm starting to get concerned that my barely teenage daughter is frequenting these threads with the username Zac Quinn.

[Amy Lawn]

Green Day are a complete joke of a band these days. None of that, thank you.

That she's reading his gibberish is enough of a worry.

I first saw green day in reading 95 I think and i was too old and they were past it then,

Each subsequent time I've seen them, they've been massively entertaining. Haven't seen them since they've been the emo band of choice though, and their albums are laughably bad

[dentalplan]

I don't really like them all that much anymore but to a crowd that may not have seen them, say at Glastonbury, then they'd be worth a go and would probably do well as they do put on a show. To be fair actually, it's a bit like AC/DC for a younger generation - no longer trying to break any sort of mould with their music but putting on a great show for the crowds. Don't think I'd be in attendance as I've been told that when you've seen them once you don't really need to see them again (particularly if you haven't listened to their output since) but I wouldn't be against their booking.

[Matt42]

Green Day are/were a great band, they've done some incredible stuff but they are just old news now. I don't think they have any more surprises left in them.

[bocumaroy]

Describing someone as a teenage girl is a rubbish insult.

[Gucci Piggy]

Green Day are horrific.

[DJL]

I have a soft spot for green day as i loved them when i was 15. They're a good Reading headliner (not that i'd go anywhere near that festival these days) but not a glastonbury one. It would need to be alongside two very strong headliners but frankly i don't see it.

[Bisque]

I only discovered Green Day when someone left International Superhits in the art room boom box.

Probably a great band live (gave them a swerve at Reading last year though but managed to drag my arse out of bed the year before), plenty of songs but I just can't see them doing Glastonbury.

[Ipayne]

Saw Green Day at Leeds fest last year and thought they were dissapointing to be honest.. Billie needs to quit the whole 'Hey oh' thing, far too tedious.

Same here really, thought they put on a good show but I was still left wanting more but then again Biffy smashed it the day before

Dookie in full was a treat though as I love that album, same can't be said for anything post American Idiot (which even has it meh moments, but it was the first rock album I loved so it has a special place in my heart)

Also sorry Ipayne I accidentally negged you whilst trying to quote you so I've upvoted the last thing you said to make it better

Oh I upvoted it to even in out because I agreed with it haha.

[Matt42]

The only UK festivals I can really see Green Day playing anymore are Reading, T and IOW

they'd just be a bit out of place at every other fest.

[Muppetmark]

Green Day aren't Glastonbury which is sad because I absolutely love them. I'd laugh if in 10 years they count as a heritage band and asked to play

[The Placid Casual]

People are begging for them to do Reading again this year. Hilarious

I do like a few of their 90s tracks, so hearing cookie in full was decent, but I'm not sure anyone's told Billie Joe that he's over 40 yet. Heyyyyyyyyyyy Ohhhhhhhhhh

Edit: I'm just gonna leave that typo there as it's brilliant

Is anyone seriously mocking the prospect of Taylor Swift headlining at the same time as suggesting Green Day should?

Wow.

Wow.

I don't think Taylor Swift has been mentioned in the past couple of pages.

Thank god.

Wow.

What exactly are you on about and why?

[Matt42]

Going back to Flo, I had a little re listen to a lot of her stuff

If she's got another album out, I'd say it's very difficult to see her as anything but a headliner, I didn't realise how many easily recognisable songs she has. Another album on top of that, which is inevitably gonna get a lot of BBC radio support, it's kinda unlikely she's gonna be subbing festivals anymore...

The album could tank, but I really can't see that happening either. I guess you could disagree with me, but I'd probably be pretty surprised now if she's playing and not headlining.

[Wooderson]

Thanks for that contribution. Must really be something to have a lava-lamp instead of a brain.

Oh shit he actually discussed 2015 headliners in the 2015 headliners thread, let's shoot him down.

You wonder why no one new wants to join efestivals...
