Headliners 2015

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I think Madonna will be there on th Sunday , I got Arctic monkeys right and I think this will come to fruitation

I really hope you're right.

Having said that, if she ever headlines I hope she gets it right.

[monkey1989]

she has new album out , plotting a world tour , never done it and she likes to appear "hip" which I imagine she would think a headline in the pyramid stage would bring .

As much chance as acdc I reckon

[jonodillieono]

She's good but I can't help but feel she's digging a grave for her career as we speak.

The latest one about descendants of slave traders owing african-americans $100 trillion and then threatening someone on twitter about it

Rihanna's pretty much a nothing experience when it comes to a live show. If she plays, I wouldn't recommend sticking about to watch.

Were there not stories after T in the Park about her " banning " other bands from looking at her back stage ! and she got carried the short walk from her area to the stage. Wasn`t even muddy that year if I remember. Way too much "singing" over a pre-recorded backing tape for my liking. I`m out.

[craigyb31]

Of what I saw at the Hackney Weekend all she did was sing to the cameras and photographers, remember turning it off after a short time. She's definitely worth looking at but not watching

[Bradders]

In your attempt to point out that you're heterosexual and she's "well fit wayeyeehhh" you've forgotten that looking at and watching are the same thing.

[FuzzyDunlop]

From what I've seen on TV of her live (admittedly that isn't that much), there is too much stopping and starting to her singing.

Sings a line

backing track / backing singers sing

Neither are my kind of thing, but Beyonce to me is a proper performer (I was at QOTSA in 2011), but Beyonce as far as I can tell is a league above. Excitement wise, I think Rihanna is a level above her.

Rihanna has a presence about her, she is a headline maker.

Probably more than any headliner in a while.

I wouldn't be watching Rihanna, but she would be a draw

I meant it to come across as I would actually rather look at her (yes she is fit) rather than watch a performance by her (came across as being up her own arse on the performance I saw), no other meaning was meant and all just an opinion

Awfuly presumptious, prehaps he was admiring her fashion choices?

[the wonderwhy]

All I remember from that gig is I crowd-surfed during We Found Love to try and find my mates and I actually found them.

Exactly what I was doing LT

[swede]

I had a very vivid dream last night that I logged on here on April 1st and that David Bowie was announced as a headliner, make it so Eavis'

[Jakkkkobz]

Not one to spread conjecture(except when helpless hoping for Prince) but my mate who works for a tour booking/logistics agency says he has heard quite alot of chatter at the moment in the biz that Ed Sheeran is being lined up as a headliner.

The way Ed is rocketing higher and higher, I actually wouldn't be overly surprised at this. I'd find it less surprising a headliner than Florence or Taylor Swift, for example. However, previously, has anyone ever headlined the year after playing lower down on the bill? Wouldn't they maybe give at least 1 year's gap?

[Gnomicide]

Maybe this is why Ed was sure Swifty isn't headlining.

[fatyeti24]

Sheeran is the kind of artist that should be headlining the Pyramid. a young Brit, in the ascendancy worldwide, selling out Wembley, number one, million selling records. he's Mr Billy Big Bollocks at the moment.

edit - i say "should".. obviously Aphex Twin should also, but we don't live in that world.

Already said he's not playing festivals this year hasn't he? Could see him doing it next year.

[ghostdancer1]

yeah, he said that alright, although it probably doesn't count for much really....

i wouldn't go to see him if he was headlining, but he certainly deserves it when you take everything into account.

my ex dragged me to see him in October and although I wouldn't be much of a fan of his music, he did put on a good show.

he could probably get Swift to spin down the road for a guest appearance on that song they have together too...

[dentalplan]

He probably is being lined up as a headliner but not for this year. I can see why people who might not realise he played lower down last year are speculating but no chance he'd do both third down and headline on the same album.

I really hope people are taking the piss when they speak about ed Sheeran headlining. I know he's big (although I really can't understand why) but surely he would be one of the worst headliners in the festivals history?

Than Mumfords?

He's big enough, fits in with the demographics, played loads. He's a perfect fit and will no doubt headline in the next few years.

[another number]

He would be absolutely awful, not that mumfords weren't also. Far more talented musicians out there. Manufactured pop nonsense. Just my opinion of course, but surely beavis has a few things lined up to surpass ed bloody Sheeran!

I'd give this opinion more credence if you hadn't just started a Roxette thread.

Don't get the 'manufactured' remark as well. It's not like he's off X Factor or summit. From what I can gather he's done it his own way.
