Headliners 2015

[CHRLY]

I thought Muse played 6 nights there on the resistance?

Edit: Just checked and they 100% didn't, no idea where I got that from

Muse did 2 on the bh&r tour and 2 on the resistance tour. I don't know about the bh&r tour but TR ones went pretty sharpish, I doubt they'd be able to sell out 2 nights now though.

Foo fighters doing a week sounds completely ludicrous to me, I always thought they had about the same popularity as muse

[mungo57]

They may mean a week at Wembley Arena? Who knows

True. Hope not though, hate that place! They were good last time though

[brettredmayne]

I think it was just a throw away comment and they will probably do 2 nights at wembley, manchester, sunderland, glasgow. Probably no Glastonbury though if they do that.

[dentalplan]

They don't seem to do proper stadium tours like other big acts - just big shows in one, maybe two places. I do agree it will have been a throw away comment but then again they did some big shows to celebrate their 10th anniversary so 20th will probably get some too. Dave might have said some more tonight I guess.

I'd love it to be The Cure. Has anyone else mentioned them?

[Osama Jim Laden]

every year....

20yrs since they last played.. Love them

i'd still like to know who is this "Prince" everyone talks about....... hes rumoured every year and never makes an appearance, i can only assume he is a myth..........

All we need is for radiohead and daft punk to be added then we have a full house

You're not very good at cliché-headliner bingo, are you?

I'll raise you a Coldplay.

Except no-one cries out for Coldplay to headline every year. They just do every so often, whether anyone wants them to or not!*

*Admittedly, they went down well last time.

Background character from the 1989 Batman film who has built up a cult following.

I'd still say both are more likely for IOW, but worth posting here anyway.

no foos for glasto then

Muse, Fleetwood Mac, Florence + The Machine / Radiohead I reckon.

[dentalplan]

Why not? Those two stadium dates should fly out no trouble. AEG wouldn't have to stop them from doing Glastonbury.

I thought someone said before that a wembley date would rule them out?

I think it was more that a week of Wembley gigs, as Dave Grohl said they'd do, would rule them out as promoters wouldn't want them doing Glastonbury as well as that. Tickets will sell pretty quickly for those two gigs though so it wouldn't be too much of a problem for them to play Glastonbury. Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised to see them add a third date.

[Matt42]

doubt they will do Glasto now anyway, I'd imagine if they are doing wembley they probably see that as the big promo, and may feel they don't need to do glasto.

[dentalplan]

Probably right. I think Muse and AC/DC both stand a much better chance anyway.

Is that genuine?

People in the R&L section seem to think so.

[brettredmayne]

Thought it would be more of a tour then 2 nights at wembley , if you ignore festival dates (leeds) the foo fighters have not played the north since June 2008

matey who runs IoW is now trying his hardest to not book headliners who are also doing big London shows - it hits his ticket sales too much.

That doesn't mean he won't book foos (if those shows are true), but it does mean he'll probably try to not book them (what he actually does will depend on who is available, of course).

You think these dates at wembley are accurate as it's hardly a tour
