I'll be mildly surprised if it's more than just one of them - with that being FM.

Are you just teasing us then? haha

Do you think that AC/DC wont happen at all?

im clinging onto hope that it maybe The Stone Roses although i wouldnt be upset with Biffy after seeing them earlier this year

If its Muse it's going to be such a boring booking. I'd rather they took a punt on somebody new like Florence, Foals or even someone really small like Alt J ... or some act who's never quite made it to headliner status despite being around for ages like Elbow, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey .... than Muse again.

I fully realise it will be Muse over any of those bands, but yawn.

(And I love Muse)

I'm absolutely amazed Green Day have never headlined or even played at Glasto. Their live sets are incredible. There's no way you couldn't be impressed by it unless you don't like live music. Even if you're not a big fan of theirs. I'd absolutely love to see them there. I wouldn't even put them in my top 5 favourite bands ever but they're one I'd wish to see on the Pyramid!

I saw them last year and it wasn't good.

yeh true, I'd rank foo fighters alongside muse, killers, kings of leon, kasabian etc in terms of "heaviness". Soft rock. Perfect for the pyramid I suppose.

Though do foo fighters have as many "hits" as those other bands I've mentioned? I know not a lot about them, aside from that I dont like them :lol:

I agree with them being as heavy as Muse, but both those bands are definitely heavier than the rest.

Yeah Foo Fighters probably have as many hits as any headliner there is (aside from Zep/Prince, etc.). Most of their Greatest Hits would go down very well.

Would have thought Foos comfortably have more hits than Zep/Prince. Doesn't really matter but just pointing it out.

Is somethibg like this fairly realistic?

Biffy Clyro
NGHFB

Fleetwood Mac
Florence and the Machine

Muse
Example

I don't think so. Florence will be a headliner next year, Example couldn't sub and Biffy won't do Glastonbury between tours.

in an ideal world I'm not sure they'd want both of Muse and Biffy. They're too much in the same ball park.

Tho as I keep saying, they can only choose from what's available, so the fact of them being similar is unlikely to absolutely stop both bands appearing, dependent on the available options.

Personally cannot see Florence headlining Glasto, maybe one of them joint headliner places at T, but Glasto, for me... no chance.

Example subbing - maybe it is one space too high, but surely he isnt any smaller than Dizzy who subbed not so long ago? But your prob right.

Biffy - its prob more hope on my part rather than actually being likely.

Example headlined bingley alongside Shed Seven and the Pet Shop boys this summer... I would say he isnt big enough to justify sub headlining Glasto anymore ;)

as a fan i'd love to see them but it wouldn't be the same without Malcolm Young

As a fan, I'd say it would make little difference.

Yes he holds down the rhythm like a good un but apart from when he strides forward to deliver the odd "Oi!" into the mic, you barely notice him.

I think Dizzie was booked because he had announced his 'comeback' and they probably thought it was going to be better received than it actually was.

Fans will notice a difference, yer average punter probably won't.

They've toured without him before.

A bit like Kiss.

They just need to dress up as the person they are replacing.

The E Street Band seems to be going through a similar change but without the dressing up.

Kiss aren't replaced by relatives are they?

Yeah E Street is a good example. I'm all for band dynasties. Robert Plant's son's a frontman isn't he? :ninja:
