Headliners 2015

[FloorFiller]

They lost it for me when they gave an otherwise highly acclaimed Fleet Foxes album a 2/10 because it wasn't good music for getting laid to.

ha, i'd never seen that review before. utterly ridiculous

I'm telling you folks, I picked up a copy in December with their review of the year and it actually had full page album reviews of their favourite albums.

Content. Actual content!

I bought the NME once to see a Glastonbury line up, sometime in the mid 90s. Can't say I've ever had a reason to do so before or since. .

Yeah to be fair I got one a couple of months and was surprised by how good it was. It made me aware of The Twilight Sad, so for that I'm grateful.

Nearly 300 pages.. number of confirmed headliners 0

[fatyeti24]

Nearly 300 pages.. number of confirmed headliners 0

I dare say those two things are connected.

correct

We need 3000 before they release the headliners?

[fatyeti24]

I believe that's how this stuff works.

All hail the headliner gods!

[JoeyT]

Unless any of the headliners let it "slip" then I can't see us getting any line up official announcements until beginning of April.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Well we usually get some or all of the headliners Feb/March, but from the festival's perspective it's hard to see what reason there is to release much before balance payments are due.

Aren't Florence and the machine subbing to foo fighters at rock weather? To me I'd expect her to have a similar billing at Glastonbury

Ah yeah. I did get that one.

It was good, in fairness

They gave Pure Love's Debut album 1/10, Yes the album isn't perfect by any means but rating an album a 1/10 is almost considering it unlistenable which it definitely isn't! Just shows terrible journalism to me.

[russycarps]

Did you see how many people went crazy after she was announced for coachella?

She has fans.

Ah yes of course, glastonbury is taking place in california this year isnt it, I keep forgetting.

[kingcrawler]

Not particularly. She's going to get a shit-tonne more press coverage as soon as she announces her album/stuff in this country. And as rubbish as NME there are a rather large amount of people who go crazy for anyone they write about.

Looks like NME have already started with her coverage...

Jesus Christ.

Please can we get some actual leaks / self-confirmations to save us from this tosh!

Sorry mate, don't really understand why you're so offended by this!

Doesn't mention her getting wasted - sure that's in her biggest moments.

Yes but apparently that and other similar slotsjust makes her a headliner at Glastonbury for definate

Well if the NME are covering her, thats me convinced of her being a headliner!

well, that and the fact that she's far bigger in her home country than in Belgium....

How do you know she is bigger than in Belgium? She could be bigger in Belgium, like Editors...

[sjseabass]

Sorry mate, don't really understand why you're so offended by this!

Pages and pages and pages of "I don't like Florence so she's not a headliner" opinions masquerading as fact, load up a new page, first post is the same bloody thing yet again, but with added ludicrous Mumfords assertion to boot.

Apparently half the posters in this thread refuse to give us a break from this tedium, though, and I imagine mine and others' rebuttals are getting similarly wearing, so I won't bother any more and just leave the every-headliner-has-to-be-to-my-taste-and-also-one-of-the-biggest-acts-of-all-time-or-they're-not-a-valid-suggestion brigade to it.
