Headliners 2015

[Fivefingerjohn]

Elton John is busy Sunday night

[eFestivals]

First ever gig i went to as a 12 year old was kanye west and im delighted to see him again.

your tastes haven't grown up since you were twelve....?

[CaledonianGonzo]

And ladies and gentlemen of the press, I say to you that Glastonbury is not Glastonbury without a proper, old-fashioned British headliner.

[eFestivals]

Be interested to hear Neils take on this with him not beleiving kanye west yesterday.

Kanye is still shit?

I won't be there to see it, but I'm looking forwards to his rant. Will he claimed to be hated as much as Hitler, again? And will a bunch of sapps lap it up and bow down before him?

[eFestivals]

Hmm yeah sounds like a rejigg of contacts needs to occur after coldplay being wrong and him thinking Kanye won't be there an hour before he was announced...

says the man who guesses a bunch of different bands each and every day.

[eFestivals]

I think he went as far as to say he doesn't think it'll be Kanye but it was all just conjecture based on whispers.

No, I said "I don't think it'll be Kanye based only on a hunch", but don't let that stop you from making it up.

Amusingly, as I typed those Kanye words I remembered how when Michael said the headliner was a rapper for the Jay-Zed year, I publicly guessed it as Kanye and not Jay-Zed, and ondered if I might be committing the same error.

[neil999]

wonder if they will go for the 2008 'model' american rock artist, rap artist, british indie(so blur,pulp,stone roses??)

[JoeyT]

Just a thought. Considering it was Annie Mac who announced Kanye do we think this will be the media outlet they use for the rest of the line up?

In 2013 they used Zane Lowe's show and announced in the evening but last year it seemed to be 6music who had the hunch and it was announced in the morning.

[Gnomicide]

Sat night headliners have done it before and nailed it. Sunday nights never played before trust me

Oh Billy! What have you done? I believed in you man.

I'm broken.

[brettredmayne]

Neil do you think it is safe to.assume it's blur or taylor for the Sunday

[russycarps]

ha ha this is the best thing to come out of this whole thing: another ball bag exposed as a lying toad.

[JoeyT]

Pitchfork at the ready, just give me the signal russy.

Did the people who sent you the Kanye info have any additional info that should shed light on the sunday headliner?

[Muppetmark]

they have quite a lot kanye came back into my tastes with yeezus. that was a great album.

[russycarps]

I just dont know what someone has to gain from pretending to be "in the know" on an anonymous forum!

And the worst thing is I believe these tits everytime

[Fivefingerjohn]

I didn't think it would be kanye

I didn't think it would be Blur

Now that it's Kanye, I can't see past it being Blur

[Homer]

I can honestly say I've never heard that in my life before.

I have heard another one, that one that samples Diamonds Are Forever.

Pretty sure he did the one that samples Move On up by Curtis Mayfield too (I personally vastly prefer Move On up by Curtis Mayfield).

[eFestivals]

Neil do you think it is safe to.assume it's blur or taylor for the Sunday

on the basis that it's always harder to get info on american acts and info has been hard to get this year, it's taylor.

But it might not be ... tho I'll be mildly surprised if it's not an american act.

It doesn't look like it's Blur, as info about Hyde Park was definitely out there in places, and some of those same places are saying 'not Glasto' - tho I'm having a little difficulty putting full belief in that.

why does the 4 shows in a row not rule taylor out?

[russycarps]

mike99 hinted it would be stone roses.

Somehow, he is now all-knowing and all-powerful.

It will be stone roses. 100%.

Yes! Mike99 returns to lead us to the promised land!

thanks for info, your lucky to be friends with such a great person

[FloorFiller]

it's definitely a weird one, but i wouldn't say it rules her out 100%. i'd started to think she'd sub the Foos on the Friday, but (if that poster is to believed) that's seemingly Flo, so it's Sunday or nothing for Swift imo

The question is, will mike99 make it to this year's efestivals meet?
