Headliners 2015

[ThomThomDrum]

I will give that a go if I can find it. It made me sad I didn't like it. I felt like an awesome surfer riding through Kid A and Amnesiac like a champ when most fell off at OK Computer. Still ok for HTTT, wobbled on In Rainbows and a face full of salt and sand when in sight of the beach when KoL appeared.

I could argue against it. Someone different maybe?

As Matt said, 12 years and 3 albums since a legendary british act topped the bill of the biggest british festival...doesn't make sense does it

I just means when they do play it will be all the more special. I do wish they'd headlined last year though when the set lists were still in rainbows and king of limbs heavy.

And since then the Arctics have had two bites at it, Muse have had 2 bites and Coldplay will have had a further 3 goes since their original headline slot the year before Radioheads last............

There is no real logical argument against Radiohead other than the fact they are not your cup of tea.............but we all know thats not how things work. There has been many a piss poor cup of tea gracing the Pyramid stage since Radioheads last venture onto it.............

They've already headlined it twice. They new stuff isn't Pyramid headliner material either. 80,000 people at a festival don't want to hear Separator or Lotus Flower. They want Crazy in Love, that Kasabian Fire tune or I Will Wait by Mumfords.

[Mardy]

has anyone considered that Radiohead don't want to do it, and that's the reason?

Empathic as ever Mardy. They don't want to see thousands of people stream away from the Pyramid Field as they go through 90 minutes of the new stuff.

Which would happen.

While on one hand they're now maybe more comfortable playing more intimate shows to the folk who really want to hear things like Bangers & Mash, on the other that hasn't stopped them playing other big shows in the interim.

[mrtourette]

Anyone who thinks The Bends is Radiohead's best album doesn't really like Radiohead.

[Mezhyp1]

But why wouldn't they want to headline the best festival in the world?!

I don't seriously believe that they haven't been asked in the last 12 or whatever years. Do you really think it's never come up?

I thought Radiohead were purposefully steering clear of Glastonbury having decided the festival wasn't green enough with its travel plans?

Why would anyone not want to do Glasto? Surely it's the pinnacle of every musician's career.

[tricho]

Why ist everybody talking about Radiohead? Did i miss something?

[ThomThomDrum]

The green thing is a load of klingon turd............

Since that was "said" they have played the Park twice in different shapes and Yorke has DJed his ass off in the nether regions of the fest. Radiohead have no issues with the fest. If fact I would go as far as to say they love it........... It obviously simply has not suited them at any point over the last decade to headline it

[The Nal]

why doesnt that happen at all the other festivals they've played in the meantime then?

unless you are suggesting the glastonbury crowd is among the shittest out of all festivals....

[russycarps]

They're not Glasto headliner material anymore mate.

[Wooderson]

Like a striker that gets free beer in his local for life for scoring a cup winning goal, Radiohead get to headline Glasters after '97. Basically any time it suits both they'd be booked quite happily by Mick/Emily.

[Wooderson]

Along with Bragg and Orbital, Glasters will -always- find a spot for Radiohead.
