Headliners 2015

[Mezhyp1]

It's hard to think who could be considered rare and make Neil happy at the thought of them turning up, DP or Bowie maybe

Tbf he never indicated he's got any news that has made him particularly happy or is of someone particularly rare. He just said it would take someone rare for him to be happy specifically about that act.

[Jakkkkobz]

George Michael if he can survive the journey and Stone Circle?

Think you might be disappointed. I think he was just smiling because he was getting info. Then when someone mentioned him being happy about the act, he said it'd be a rare headliner that makes him happy, suggesting the headliner isn't the reason he's smiling.

Also I'm sure he describes Daft Punk as shite disco or something

i've not said I'll be happy. Why do you think I have?

[the wonderwhy]

I reckon its a hologram of Bob Marley

[Superscally]

I'd go and see that. First holo festival ever would be amazing. What would the big three be? For me: Queen, Led Zep, Beatles. Sheeeeeiiiiiiiiiit.

Croke Park in Ireland (cap. 80,000) is holding a concert this summer (most likely in late May or June as there are sporting events for most of July and August).

Ed Sheeran was rumoured, but the radio station that originally announced the concert is saying that it will be Bruce Springsteen

could he do Glastonbury again?

[Matt42]

Springsteen, foo fighters and taylor swift

Not a single british headliner but i'd probably love that.

[Brave Sir Robin]

great bit of know-nothing spurious bullshit from the line of best fit

(that's the approach we've got to take, while all the time hoping and praying desperately, right?)

That is rather odd, suggesting that he might well be playing merely because he played the hits at a small charity gig?! Of course there's no chance at all, no siree.

[monkey1989]

prince is in the uk and madonnas over for the Brit awards soon . If they both play that's pretty Mega

I can understand an argument for Springsteen being rare, but that'd be a disappointment.

Plus, I reckon it'll be someone who's never done it before, or never headlined it at least.

[Matt42]

Isn't springsteen kinda known for being an act to turn to when everyone falls through?

[JoeyT]

Why do people assume acts have to be in the country in order to have "Glastonbury talks"?

Surely Eavis has a phone and shock horror a computer...

It's the 21st century guys.

[Purple aki squat]

Led Zeppelin for sure.

That's why plant did it last year.

Suppose that means Bon Jovi an all.

Shit.

[jamesrfisher]

Without mentioning the name that mustn't be mentioned in case the short purple one is offended, could it be him and playing this set!!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

A quick shufty at a Bruce fan forum suggests nothing coming over the wires on The Employer playing Ireland.

[Mezhyp1]

Straws dear man, straws.

Correct

it's not like he'll even be involved with the actual signing/contracts, these days it's all done through bookers/agents and for the bigger acts, their lawyers.

half the time when we're booking acts we don't even speak to the artist until we pick them up at the airport, their manager/booking agent is the only one we've talked with.

i highly doubt Bruce and the E Streeters are touring Europe this summer.

really? tell us more about this...

[FuzzyDunlop]

Springsteen was only 2009. I doubt it would be classed as very rare.

[Bignews]

I can see Neil just sniggering as everyone tries to guess
