Headliners 2015

[GlastoSimon]

Until the line-ups for the other European ones which are around the same time (Southside/Northside, Hurricane, Best Kept Secret etc.) are released, it's quite hard to tell which acts' appearances on that list are significant.

I'd be surprised if Coldplay started with festivals in March and then did a stadium tour in June, so Glastonbury may be a possibility.

On the other hand, they may miss it out completely, a la the Viva La Vida tour.

EDIT: I'm more excited about the presence of Kraftwerk personally

Kraftwerk are a tap-in West Holts headliner....

[dentalplan]

I think they might be a bit expensive for that.

[willutalk]

ColdPlay at Glasto again would be horrific awful and very very boring! A band who for me have played there last Glasto performance.

Wouldn't they do the Other Stage?

Yeah actually they might be a bit too static and niche to do that slot.

I agree it would be a beyond boring booking but how can you say they've played their last glasto?

Their good friends of the Eavis and a band with a backcatalogue that means they can headline the pyramid with ease whether you like it or not. Unless glasto doesnt come back after the fallow year they will headline again... its a fact.

Too big for West Holts. Kraftwerk seem like a perfect Other headliner to me.

[Mardy]

Kraftwerk on west holts? no way, Other stage headliner is the only realistic option, I reckon

[GlastoSimon]

Other would be fantastic, are they still doing the whole 3D show thing? Cos if they are, I imagine there may be problems with doing that at Glastonbury.

Aren't most shows these days technically in 3D? 4 if you include time...

[ancient_one]

Kraftwerk are top of my wish list every year. I saw their 3D show at the Tate Modern last year, and it was stunning, but I can't see it working in a big field. They may have to re-think the graphics.

Well, you say that, I saw The Cure the other year and not only might I have been watching a still life drawing, every time I checked my watch, time didn't appear to have progressed at all.

[angelin]

How many times would it be now, three? I can't see it.

[GlastoSimon]

Well, yes. I don't know the full details but their recent shows have involved glasses and all sorts, for some strange reason.

I say that I would like the festival to move on from Coldplay.since that their new music is no where near as good as their old, it's not an exiting band to book into. Edited September 27, 2014 by willutalk

Make it happen, will. We all know you're clan Eavis. We all know it was you that got Metallica booked. Have a word with your uncle Mike.

No more Coldplay!

Is he really related?

I agree with your Coldplay stance, would be like Groundhog Day.

Just get the Roses for fucks sake. Wil, make it happen lad.

[Muppetmark]

Prince has got to play before he disbands 3rdeyegirl

[dentalplan]

It's not really them anyone would be bothered about.

The Chemical Brothers delivered a fairly visuals-heavy headline set on The Other in 2011. If you're the headline act you can bring more of your own gear, you don't just have to rely on the screens and a backdrop.

[Mardy]

If you look at some of the recent sets, Chems, Pet Shop Boys, Skrillex, or whatever, the other stage can increasingly cope with very advanced stagecraft. They just make it a closed set.

I think the issue is more getting the 3D glasses out to everyone

Fatboy Slim managed it in 2005.

[alan77]

I think Bombay bicycle club should sub headline the other stage

[Ged Devereux]

Thought the were pretty boring playing 3rd down, didn't get a great reaction from the crowd. Seen them on the Saturday in the bbc introducing tent and they were brilliant! Think they'd work well on the park later on
