Headliners 2015

[greenArmy12]

Taylor Swift will play third down as I've got money on her to headline and when I always put money on a horse in the Grand National they always come third. Faultless logic.

Mine always end up getting shot, think I better stay clear of the bookies

[fatyeti24]

You're gonna get somebody's ticket who can't go for genuine reasons, not replace one of the tossers.

That's what saddens me.

I'd rather you guys replaced the tossers.

look, i don't care what you call me. i'm going and there's nothing you can do about it.

[russycarps]

To get Foo's (surely the most universally loved rock band out there at the moment)

I'm furious at this.

They're absolute c**ts!

[bocumaroy]

No idea what's going on with this headliner stuff now, but I've just realised what a good album 1989 is. Very.

[Winslow Leach]

Mr Sheen?

I read this four times with a blank expression. After the fifth time I burst out laughing. That splintering crash is the sound of the penny dropping.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Other than the Wembley dates, what else is Sheeran up to?

You damn right it is. Is this your first time dabbling in Swift? If so, wait until you get your ears around Red and Speak Now.

[Sawdusty surfer]

Wow, If I ever get to the point of signing petitions to stop someone playing a festival, shoot me!

(Unless it's like, Gary Glitter or something....)

I heard he's going to be curating the Kid's Field at Worstival.

[Keithy]

Other than the Wembley dates, what else is Sheeran up to?

He's in America over Glastonbury weekend.

the fact that he's on another continent and nowhere near worthy farm means, for me, Glastonbury will be awesome come what may.

[abu hamster]

No one has mention Gogol for other stage headliner

[Rose-Colored Boy]

No one has mention Gogol for other stage headliner

probably because that's about as sensible a suggestion as Emeli Sande for the Pyramid

[michael eavis' beard]

Isle of Man born and bred so British

Isle of Man born, Manchester bred.

Plus there is no such thing as a true Aussie unless they are aborigines, Australians bar aboriginies all descend from migrant stock

Does that mean that there's no such thing as a true American unless they are Native Americans?! In that case, neither of the headliners announced so far are American

I'm happy to behave like a tosser for a maximum of 5 hours if it increases my chance of getting a ticket.

[Amy Lawn]

Would it be 5 consecutive hours? Or are you going to build up 5 hours across multiple separate occasions?

[Winslow Leach]

I'd prefer to take it all in one go, but I'm keeping my options open. Would be pretty tiring to have to suddenly become a complete tosser for an hour every night.

[Amy Lawn]

Different strokes innit, I'd build it up over a few occasions, 30 mins in the morning and 30 in the evening for a week. I'm worried I'd build up too much tosser momentum and do some terrible work if it was 5 hours straight. If it's little slices in isolation, then I'd have to start from square one each time, limit the impact.

Matt42 seems to manage, and for far longer periods.

[Lucyjane83]

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

I felt too silly to ask!

[MEGABOWL]

No I don't. I could care less if the headliners were American. One look at me during Radiohead at Bonnaroo 06 would tell you that.

That means you really care

[MEGABOWL]

What is wrong with having three American headliners? Have I missed some homegrown rule/quota in the Ts and Cs?

No you haven't. There is no such rule.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I felt too silly to ask!

It can't be written down, but it's to do with weather and there being no compromise

It's just the little englander mentality- the people whinging about non-British headliners are UKIP supporters, find Boris Johnson charismatic and are upset about Jeremy Clarksons suspension.

[Ged Devereux]

Did wireless sell out last year when Kayne played?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Did wireless sell out last year when Kayne played?

His day in London did. His day in Birmingham didn't but the ticket sales were shit for all three days there so that doesn't really mean much.

UKIP yes, Clarkson yes... But I won't have a bad word said about Boris! He's a daft God amongst men. Much like in music and football there's not enough people with personalities anymore...

This isn't me saying Boris is a good politician btw.
