Headliners 2015

[Fivefingerjohn]

Is mike99 actually a reliable source. Or is this a piss take. And if so what was his hint.

i'm not sure on the reliable part (i don't think so), but he said 'this is the one', which is a Stone Roses song (i think he'd predicted Kanye and Stone Roses to be the other two headliners earlier on)

Total bullshitter but liked by most (loved even going by some posts!) and always welcomed on return from his frequent posting breaks. Always posts news (or indeed copies & pastes) without giving any source so it appears he’s “in the know” which gets him a lot of flak. Last night’s Kanye thread was quintessential M99: STEatT started the ‘Announcement on Radio 1’ thread at 7.35. Probably like the dozen or so people logged on here at the time I retuned my radio to hear the announcement. People then started posting at 7.41 on the headliner & Kanye threads then at 7.42 Mikey pops up with his thread, which, true to form, omits to mention he’d just heard it on R1!

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.

Eurgh its just turning into a big Radio 1 weekend.

Tri-USA headliners - Not cool.

previously he was an utter laughing stock.

Then he correctly predicted the rolling stones (though his source was laughable, he bumped in to mick in a pub in yeovil or something).

Then he correctly predicted kanye west.

And then in the sunday headliners thread he posted "this is the one", hence the stone roses belief.

Something has happened to him since 2013. Something biblical.

He is the messiah.

I don't believe anyone from this forum has actually ever met mike99 have they?

I can only compare him to the beast of bodmin, nessy and Jesus when considering whether he is actually a real person or an alias of someone having an epic laugh at us all.

MichaelEavis99?

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

The hunch of Kanye not headlining puts almost as big a smile on my face as the idea of Swansea beat Liverpool tonight. I'm not factoring in any odds as that'll end it lol

Hehehe, how's that smile going mate? YNWA

yeah, some have.

[JoeyT]

In that case I take back what I've said in previous post

You notice how the citizens of Worthy Farm are always salt of the Earth type people, their inherent decency and unfailing ability to have a great time always recharges your batteries to go out into the world for another year? I think these types that take umbrage with headliners are too negative to be in the Glastonbury-going crowd, they just don't have the minerals, whether it be headliners or something else, they'll always be weeded out somehow. But the resale crowd are the opposite, nobody every says they're giving up on the resale because of a headliner, it's always hope and optimism, things that can be found in the very soil on the farm. There are forces at work in the universe, I don't pretend to understand them, no philosophers or scholars or priests or prophets have ever managed to properly comprehend these force, no matter what they claim. These forces always make sure that the right energies are present at Glastonbury, this my very obtuse way of trying to explain something very complex that I can only see the very tip of, but I'm sure that these forces keep bad vibes out and keep good vibes in. It's this principle that NFiR NFC is built upon, while we can't hope to know fully what is at work here, we can definitely follow where these forces are directing us.

I haven't slept now for about 30+ hours, going to get my head down, peace out, one and all.

I'm such a newbie - what is NFiR and NFC?

No Fail In Resale, No Fucking Compromise. It means we'll get tickets.

Thanks!

Not impressed with the Kanye news, an up himself gobshite, but great news for people after tickets in the resale

A British festival, an iconic festival, and the 3 headliners are almost certainly yanks? That is pathetic, surely they could find a British act to headline, christ we almost dominate world music this last 50 years

In the words of Duncan Bannatyne, "i'm out"

Will try again for 2016 as really want to do a glasto, but an ageing rock band, a gangsta rapper who dates the most annoying woman in the world, and a bubblegum pop artist most famous for shagging Harry Styles just does not do it for me

Is that you Mr Farage?

the UK has dominated the last 50 years of music? Utterly laughable stuff.

I don't like her music either, but I'd suggest that's doing her a great injustice.

Perhaps you could say 1D are so popular in the states because Harry is famous for shagging her? Or does that only apply to women?

Weren't you only going to see an Aussie band headline?

Strange. I assume you wanted an Aussie?

She'd sold millions of albums while our Harry was still working in Greggs, be off with you.

[BonScott]

Beatles, Stones, The Who, Queen, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Duran Duran, One Direction, Elton John, Status Quo, Bee Gees, thats just to name a handful of the best selling artists of the last 50 years

For a small island, when compared with the sheer size of America, i would say like for like we have dominated the last 50 years

I mean the type of people she attracts, she is now an icon for 15 year old girls in the UK, I would say a large part of that is because of Harry, the Directioners have taken over her fanbase

[BonScott]

They were all born in Britain bar Phil Rudd so i would class AC/DC as Britsh expats
