Headliners 2015

[morph100]

So Pr*nce in ondon today to play a gig for charity

to cover him secretly signing off on gastGlastonbury

He's off to Dubai soon to play a wedding for mega money as well, does that mean he's more or less likely to sign for Glastonbury?

[alexwetherell]

Mumford at Reading. Hahahhaa

[brettredmayne]

That reading and Leeds announcement is awful

[Guy Incognito]

That reading and Leeds announcement is awful

Yeah it's piss poor

[craigyb31]

That reading and Leeds announcement is awful

Certainly hasn't changed my mind on going to Leeds this year

[LaurieReid]

Assuming Royal Blood playing most festivals this year so assuming they will be at Glasto.

3rd or 4th down on Pyramid??

Their album is different class.

They are already playing 3 shows the weekend at glasto and a UK exclusive at reading, so won't be there

That surprised me a lot, thought they were nailed on for glastonbury

[Mardy]

smart move by Royal Blood. They had a huge buzz last year, massive crowd at the JP, proper exciting. Now, coming back,, it would be anticlimactic, they need to release a second album, move up a level and return and triumphant conquering heroes.

(I don't think they're very good, personally, but that's my take on it)

[SloopJohnB]

Does this announcement make the Libertines more likely or are they still nailed on for R&L?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Ah well

Spot on, Mardy.

I really enjoyed their set last year, but just seeing the same again, even if they were on a different stage (probably Other), would be a bit of a déjà vu moment. They need some new material to do a really good job.

[A Guy Called Matt]

At the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs we have

Thursday 26 March - The Who plus very special guest Wilko Johnson

Now I know it can happen.......... it must happen PLEASE let it happen at GF

[giantkatestacks]

Ooh but not if they bring the weather apocalypse again. That had me go all fetal.

Exactly, play the fest which wants them the most and come back with album number two and play massive slots because you've genuinely got hype, not just because you've got another album.

[LaurieReid]

Libertines, Foo's and Swift would be my worst nightmare.

As much of a twat as he is (and that is a massive one) I'd take Robbie Williams over any of them

[markontour]

Does anyone know the likelihood of The Who? I thought since they would be at BST in Hyde Park on the Friday that maybe they would headline Saturday...in Paris on Sunday.

[Mouseboy11]

I'd love The Who, truely legendary band I've never seen and probably won't get the chance other than Glasto now (ticket prices are too much for me.) So I'd love them to turn up.

would they do 3 gigs on the trot at their age?

[dentalplan]

Four, even.

In all fairness Mumford and Sons and Metallica are 2 huge acts who are a lot more established and mature than any of the 2014 headliners.

Like it or not Mumfords have a very large fan base and Metallica are a go to band for heavy metal lovers.

I loved the Metallica booking but Mumfords are being told to F off by my rocker brain, but welcomed by my partial brain.

I think Melvin is playing a smart game, with the headliners that is, but the undercard isnt exactly exciting though.

Mumford are more established than Arctic Monkeys?

The things you say are just... Gah.

[Slugworth]

Wearing tweed don't make them more mature either.
