Headliners 2015

[Fivefingerjohn]

Didn't realise taylor was free on the Friday. I can't see her doing Sunday. And I can't see her headlining. So Friday is a good shout

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Its like fucking JZ all over again

What? A booking that is a bit riskier than Coldplay/Muse/Kasabian and, after being widely regarded as a triumph, goes on to ensure that there is a more diverse booking policy at future festivals? Well then I'm all for it

eh? Jay Z wasnt a triumph, he was total shit. As evidenced by people streaming out of the field.

No point making stuff up. Kanye West will be shit too.

Where's she going to play? Looking like Florence could be the one to sub Foos

[ICGenie]

Kanye West. About as cutting edge as a carrot.

Could she play on the Other or is that total rubbish?

Ah I must have missed this. Had her down as sub

Just with the size and dynamics of the Pyramid field crowd I doubt there's ever been a headliner in the history of the festival that's not had people streaming away throughout.

He's the fresh carrot to Kasabian's mouldy cale.

[FloorFiller]

far too big for that. Pyramid headliner, Pyramid sub or, at a push, third down in a similar slot to Sheeran last year. if Flo's subbing Foos like has been mentioned then i doubt Swift will be below her, so,if she's there at all, it seems like it'll have to be the Sunday

[FuzzyDunlop]

At least he isn't coldplay

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Wouldn't be a total shock to me. Would be a good counter to Foos and they share the R1 audience which would probably stop her crowd being too big.

Hmm ok thanks. I just have such a strong feeling (so reliable) that she'll be there somewhere - otherwise it's the oddest rumour that just vanished!

This is going to be 2008 all over again isn't it? Jay Z bossed it and I see no reason that Kanye won't. Yes he is a colossal bell-end, yes his ego is enormous, yes it's a risk on account of his tendency for 'chatting'. However he also has an arsenal of tunes and has been known to pull off incredible live performances. He is, without any doubt, a worthy headliner. (Though I'd rather he played on the Dark Fantasy or Throne cycles but that's just my preference)

I have no time for naysayers on any other basis than they personally don't like his music - even then not in relation to the merit of whether he is a worthy headliner or not.

As for me? If Chems are on the Other that is going to be one hell of a decision and right now it's 50/50 (as it was in 2011 but this time the brothers may win)

And as for that Sunday headliner, now we know who is playing Friday and Saturday - where does that put the existing regular rumours?

[Beaver89]

At least he isn't coldplay

Even as a fan of Coldplay - THIS.

are you going to give him some of your precious glastonbury time to reach the same conclusion?

[Keithy]

Agreed. There will be a big crowd at the start and give it 30-45 minutes, it will be much smaller

[russycarps]

probably not! The jay z wound is still raw.

[neil999]

russy you will have to at least watch his entrance video, be quite funny if you left just as he comes on stage!

[Martin Ashford]

Was it you, Martin?

Seriously laughing like a fool!

[thewayiam]

I would now be amazed for a British Festival if the last header isn't indeed that. I have to say though, the paper reporting on V headers and saying Glasto seems to be the one the Americans are bothered about weren't lying!

[FuzzyDunlop]

The only reason I have to go is: if he had a twenty minute rant, I'd be gutted I didn't see it. It would be my entertainment. I only know 3 of his tunes and I don't like any.

I'll pass - some people need to calm down about it though! It's a big place.

I'm no hip hop fan but I still wend to check him out and watched the whole show. He was fucking brilliant

And the reviewers agreed :-)

[Fivefingerjohn]

So if Paul McCartney doesn't come on stage strumming his guitar il be very suprised
