Headliners 2015

[eFestivals]

Madonna. That's interesting, man.

Does anyone really think that Mad Donna would go for the money less-so than Fleetwood Mac?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Their careers are on kinda different trajectories at the minute, mind.

she'd love the publicity ,no?

[bocumaroy]

Madonna would be perfect.

I reckon she'd only do it if she felt her credibility needed a boost.

Seeing as she's not realised that her credibility hit rock bottom at least ten years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if Glasto had no interest.

Madonna would be perfect.

As long as she has stopped doing her keep fit routines in a leotard on stage anyway!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

With a one off greatest hits (Like a Prayer/Ray of Light heavy setlist) Madonna could absolutely own the Pyramid stage.

But if she headlined as part of a world tour & didn't alter the setlist to fit the festival I think she would struggle.

Ironically enough I could imagine her doing her newer dance stuff with awful guests like Nicki Minaj in the hope that it restores her credibility, when in actual fact if she just turned up & played her best material her credibility would be intact.

[kalifire]

Madonna would be brilliant, so long as she's hit-heavy and not just promoting a new album.

EDIT: Beaten to it! She'd definitely need a festival friendly set list but she would own the stage, no question about it. Isn't she also on the Eavis all-time wish list as well?

Would be weird to see a 56 year old woman who is so washed up and lame that she actually uses gun props on stage, headline Glastonbury.

[Bisque]

Madonna would be perfect.

Is you on crack or somethin'?

She needs Glasto. They didn't.

[FloorFiller]

She needs Glasto. They didn't.

aye Glasto is just the kind of boost Madge needs to regain her popularity in the UK. her albums may still get to number one without fail but she's definitely fallen on hard times as of late (especially that last dud of an album). Sunday night on the Pyramid would do wonders for her if she did it right

[Bisque]

I can imagine Radio 1 having concerns over playing her music unless goes in a new direction as she usually has done. Can she compete with the likes of Lorde, Charli XCX, Katy Perry, Rihanna these days?

[Badlands]

She's not released anything decent since Beautiful Stranger in my opinion but gawd damn could she pull a belting greatest hits set.

I've always preferred her pop stuff to her clubby dance stuff though.

[kalifire]

Her Ray Of Light era was her peak, for me. That was a stunning album.

[FloorFiller]

everything after Music has been shite imo. with each release she seems to try and fit in with what's currently popular but in doing so always seems to be incredibly late to the party. even just the title of that last album, MDNA, was silly. ooh. drug reference. edgy

[kalifire]

I agree. But imagine a set-list full of hits, especially early ones. She'd be the face of the festival for 2015, no question.

So Kanye is touring in 2015...

saw this earlier. a man can dream!

[Ipayne]

Wasn't too bothered about having Kanye but I'll take him any day over Taylor and Florence!

[The Placid Casual]

Foo Fighters

AC/DC

Kanye

It'd make me happy

[Badlands]

I'm just looking at her Wembley setlist from the Blonde Ambition tour. I used to have a bootleg of that on tape as a young impressionable 12 year old. There's a 5 song sequence that goes Like A Virgin / Like A Prayer / Live to Tell / Oh Father and Papa Don't Preach that would still sound ace 23 years later.

[Bisque]

I'd go see her but the thought of Madonna's vagina being thrusted at me on the big screens makes me a bit ill.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Indeed it was. One of my favourite albums of all time.
