Headliners 2015

[Acid_Haze]

I just feel she'd be a bit of a downer to headline, she'd do best in a sunset slot

Edit: Dolly Parton was the biggest act this year and she didn't headline

Legends slot tho. Adele is one of the biggest acts on the planet right now, and a live rarity. She's headline, millions would watch on telly, tickets would be hellish to get hold of the year after.

Paramore ffs ...I think i'd rather Beyonce back

Looked utter shite on the TV to. Luckily I doubt it would happen unless Hayley Williams wants to do Glasto and is happy on the Other Stage.

[mattgimmeshelter]

I think a Paramore other headline would work at glasto

Ooooh me too! Or both of them!

[mgc07]

Paramore are getting better but they don't do anything for me

[Bisque]

Paramore will never headline (probably) Glastonbury. Surely Eavis knows they are a certain band for a certain type of festival unlike QotsA, who could fill Metallica/perhaps having heavier rock acts headline.

We'll get a recycled act, a new one & a legend next year.

[Superscally]

Adele is dull beyond belief. Why don't we get Dido back to sub and we can open Chardonnay bars all around the Pyramid for embittered middle England's feminine wing to get sloshed at and cry about their ex's.

Radiohead

Foo Fighters (I know they are not new, but I think they'll be headlining)

Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac aren't recycled.

[FloorFiller]

a 'recycled act'. what exactly is a 'recycled act'? any act who has headlined before? calling Radiohead 'recycled' despite not headlining for twelve years is a bit odd

[mattgimmeshelter]

I kinda hope Fleetwood Mac falls through again

I dunno but the whole excitement of them possibly playing has worn off

[dentalplan]

Certainly wouldn't be as interesting as if they played 2013.

[FloorFiller]

a lot of the group i went with this year said they wouldn't be returning next year 'unless Fleetwood Mac headline' so they're definitely a big draw, although it's gotten to the point now when i'm just waiting for them to headline just to get them out of the way, so i hope they do play next year, so that that's them done with

Baffling. Where do you meet these people?

You could kinda understand for the people who have never been (aside from the fact that Fleetwood Mac are gash), but a load of people who have actually been to the festival? They must have noticed that there's more than one stage?

[Amy Lawn]

I could understand it if they'd never been and only heard the Peter Green stuff.

[FloorFiller]

to be fair most of these people were in their late forties (friends parents) and so kind of done with the whole festival / camping thing. said they still loved it but it was getting less exciting each year. them being in their late forties also meant they were prime Fleetwood bait

these people also never left the Pyramid stage for the entire weekend and thought i was being really antisocial by going off and doing my own thing for a lot of the day because i didn't fancy watching Lily fucking Allen

[not worthy]

I have a feeling that the pyramid could be

Radiohead

Foals

Fleetwood Mac

really want

James, Placebo, Eels, Simple Minds on the list somewhere please

[Rose-Colored Boy]

When was the last time somebody went from subbing the Other one year to headlining the Pyramid when they next came back two years later?

Not that I'm suggesting it's impossible, I'd say it's possible Paolo Nutini will do it, just wondering if there's a precedent.

Mumford & Sons subbed Other in 2011 - returned to headline Pyramid in 2013

not a chance Foals are gonna headline in 2015 though. Mumford & Sons made almost unprecedented jumps in popularity from album one to two - something Foals don't have a chance in hell of doing in one album's time. reckon Foals will be third on Pyramid - sub at a big push, if they're anywhere at all

I'm not really expecting him next year, tho if he continues to go how he has (as one of the UK's most popular acts) I really wouldn't be surprised if he headlines in 2016 .... particularly as his booking agent is one of the more chummy agents with the Eavii (he's normally one of the 'Emerging Talent' judges).

[dentalplan]

I dunno. His slot this year was kinda shit for him. Going from third down Pyramid to subbing Other is at best a sideways move and as the story goes they would have been looking for an Other headliner for Saturday late in the game and didn't promote him. I'm not convinced.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I see it the other way - he deserved the Pyramid stage this year but possibly accepted a shit slot on the basis that he headlines outright next time he's around?

[Acid_Haze]

I feel like Foals will almost definitely headline the other stage next year, they're headlining bestival this year, and are becoming more of a headline-worthy band than a middle-of-the-day one.

Plus I have a big hunch that Foo Fighters are going to headline next year, with a new album coming out around the same time in the year as Arcade Fire's last year.
