Headliners 2015

[Matt42]

Wait what, where has that 'rumour' come from?

On Gigwises festival rumour rundown thing they have, can't link as i'm on mobile

90% of their rumours come from them reading these boards and since I don't keep up with the Bestival forum I assumed thats where they got it from

If its a ridiculous claim then sorry

Gigwise? Jesus Matt this is a new low.

That wasn't an edit either.

[kingcrawler]

None of the acts they mentioned for Bestival are big enough, but you're right in that the rest of the rumours are just from here.

There's an article on the gigwise homepage about future festival headliners and they include Brody Dalle

Would of been funnier without the typo

[Amy Lawn]

I disagree, the typo makes it funny.

Oh

Hopefully he's got better since then, Section 80 is great, and Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City is one of the very best albums released in the last few years, I'd really love to see him do it (poetic) justice live.

i saw him in January 2013 and he was absolutely brilliant.

What does a Mark Ronson live show actually consist of?

A hologram of Amy Winehouse singing Valerie whilst simultaneously doing a line of coke off Pete Doherty's shoe.

[eFestivals]

fucking hell if that's true that's pretty poor, although i personally don't think it's true and definitely don't think he could be a sub. his act relies heavily on guest singers, which he won't have when performing live

when he played Bestival around 7 years ago, he had both of Lily Allen and Amy Winebucket as guest singers.

So don't rule out the possibility of him being able to do a full show with the relevant guest singers, at Glasto or anywhere else.

there are a few names on his new album that he could feasibly bring out (Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), Andrew Wyatt (Miike Snow), and a few no names, if they're also playing the festival, which is quite likely) but then there's the big hitters like Bruno Mars and Stevie Wonder who almost definitely won't be booked for Glastonbury and, unless they're around at the time, will be very unlikely to appear

Allen and Winehouse were local acts who wouldn't be too much trouble to get (also, i can't find the lineup, but i'm guessing they may have been playing the same festival?)

he's still nowhere near big enough to sub, mind

[CaledonianGonzo]

Feels like his place is somewhere at or near the apex of the West Holts stage.

[Matt42]

Allen attends the festival yearly, if he was going to play with guest slots I think she'd appear

[eFestivals]

(also, i can't find the lineup, but i'm guessing they may have been playing the same festival?)

I'm pretty sure Amy wasn't on the bill, but I'm less sure about Lily Allen.

<goes off to check....>

[MrPink]

Tell me about it. Hear people calling after him all the time...

Let's hope so his new album 'Uptown Special' is terrific - old school funky grooves - though it'd be cheaper just to book the session musicians who make that mahoosive groove, and ditch the voicals or get Trinidad James to holler!

Actually they should just book Keyone Starr, now!

hear her on itunes album release as the link to youtube missed the vocals off!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I actually meant on the apex of the stage itself, hammered up next to the big plastic cow.

(joking - he'd be a reasonable enough contender)

[eFestivals]

<goes off to check....>

Lily was on the bill (the year was 2006)

[Festival Liam]

Fleur East singing Uptown Funk please. I imagine Syco are currently begging Ronson to get her involved with literally anything he might be doing at festivals/tours next year.

[eastynh]

Read somewhere today that Black Eyed Peas maybe doing a tour this year (May have been the Metro).

Would they be valid headliner material?

definitely not. possibly somewhere on the Pyramid, but i personally can't see them being booked again. they're a proper joke act these days

I don't think so and I'd be disgusted if they were

[FloorFiller]

also Fergie's got a solo album coming out so can't see BEP reforming too soon

[Muppetmark]

In 11 at the height of their popularity they only headlined tuts at t in the park
