Headliners 2015

[Bisque]

Indication of how this forum has changed in last 6 months, Bowie less popular than Swift.

Its more that we think we doubt he'll do it rather than we think he's less popular.

Shamefully I'd rather see Ms. Swift as I grew up after Bowie & Mr & Mrs Couchy were into The Rolling Stones & Dire Straits.

Ideally I'd like to see both headline as he's obviously amazing.

These whoppers know more swift songs than Bowie. 100% guaranteed

[Bisque]

How about... Rihanna?

Mate you saw DB open his set with Wild Is The Wind at Glsters. Live music is over henceforth.

Due to youtube this is probably true.

But thanks to youtube I can watch this every morning, before rugby, sailing & badminton. (Ignore the pci lyrics, it was the 80's)

Ha problem is I can barely remember it, I was smashed

[kalifire]

At least with Swift headlining it would drag a lot of the idiots away from there

Quite the contrary, actually. If Shang is swollen by people who are genuinely upset that a female pop act is headlining, it'll be swarming with idiots.

Bowie himself is more of a Lorde fan.

I don't get the love for Wild Is The Wind. It shouldn't even be on a 3CD box set of his greatest hits, let alone his Glasto set list.

Thankfully, I'd underestimated the crowds and turned up just as Changes was starting.

So not liking Taylor Swift's music makes you an idiot?

My view would be to find something else to do, whether it's Other Stage, West Holts, The Park or wherever. Maybe the Shangri La.

Or I could stay and watch something I don't like at the Pyramid....? Surely that would be idiotic?!

And what has her being a female got to do with it? I'm not a fan of her music. I'd do the same for Ed Sheeran, but we wouldn't get bullshit mentioning he is a male would we?! (Maybe ginger though)

Come on Fuzzy - don't get dragged back into the is she good is she bad are we all stupid conversation.

Fair enough, I'm hungover...! Probably a bit grumpy.

Wild is amazing you crazy fool!

Also that means you missed China girl too i think...

[Wooderson]

Heresy.

No, people who are genuinely upset about the prospect of a female pop star headlining are idiots. You might have other reasons not to want Taylor Swift to headline but if your only reason is because she's a female pop star, you are an idiot.

[Wooderson]

Before CalGon does it.

Fascinating. Who's saying this again?

Again, I have bigger Glasto regrets. Like being too ill to see Stevie Wonder or Blur due to overindulgence.

At least I saw Hallo Spaceboy, even though I appeared to be the only person enjoying it.

I don't think anyone has said though have they? People have an issue with her music, because its not very good.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Exactly. If McFly headline (white blokes with guitars) there would be a similar reaction

Ha I had to Google the set list to see if he even played hallo space boy. Your Bowie likes and dislikes are all topsy turvy!

You have my sympathies about missing wonder and blur, that's gotta hurt...

I also missed Stevie Wonder, our designated driver had had the runs all day progressivally getting worse as the day wore on, he decided after Ray Davies he needed the hotel we had booked for the Sunday night, a shower and the use of a proper toilet, couldnt blame him either as he was in a right state.

[CaledonianGonzo]

All of this anti-Swiftian anger would be better channeled against the Foo Fighters, who genuinely are a threat to global harmony.

When the opening notes rang out, I shouted in joy like everyone else had to every other song.

I was the only one.
