Headliners 2015

[russycarps]

Does this mean you ain't got a ticket mate?

nope I got one, did you?

[bocumaroy]

Love a bit of cutting-edge Coldplay critique, me.

[willutalk]

This is such an interesting year for headliners. Cannot wait to see who'll grace the Pyramid last on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

[russycarps]

Yes mate. I thought your ace headliners post was you saying it.ll be these three now I ain't got a fucking ticket grumpy old man sort of post.

ha nah, but now we are definitely going you know it's going to be florence and the machine, vaccines and katy perry or summat. Ah well I couldnt give a fuck. I was resigned to not going this year. It's a strange feeling. It's been a horrible week.

I know the feeling fella. I missed out on a ticket last year so as a result my sister booked her wedding for Glastonbury weekend, come the resale all my mates got tickets so i would have been sorted! Due to all of that i was really crapping myself about not getting a ticket and missing out for a second year in a row... massive relief now however and Glastonbury 2015 will become Glastonbury# 5 for me!

[Essex_George]

And yep Essex_George, I got a ticket luckily. It's a horrible thing really, knowing that so many poor sods missed out. I'm dreading seeing who of the regulars here missed out. I'm guessing that you got lucky too, if you're browsing this thread!

Yes I was lucky this time, seems a lot of regulars on here not so lucky.

Predicting:

Fleetwood Mac

Rihanna

Muse

In a dream world:

Radiohead

Someone shit so I can go around the festival and find something else

Bowie

[JGP]

I'd guess

Friday - Curveball (Rihanna? or someone who hasn't been mentioned)

Saturday - Foos or Muse

Sunday - FM

Oh I didn't realise, I thought they were pencilled in for the Sunday but that might be because that's what day the betting sites were taking bets on

[HGavin]

David Bowie

Paul McCartney

Kanye West

Or swap either of them for

Prince

Queen + Adam Lambert

Arctic Monkeys (again)

I'm prepared to be disapointed.

[monkey1989]

I reckon we will find out one this year and that one will be ACDC so they get a buzz going and people buy there album

[eFestivals]

FM were definitely never Sunday. That had Prince pencilled in initially with Kasabian underneath. Prince then got moved - only as a 'pencilled in' - to Saturday because of contractual issues with Metallica being a headliner. When Prince wasn't doing it, the contractual issues were sorted out and Metallica were moved from Other Stage.

This Queen rumour.....

Are Glastonbury going for them cos having a headliner that couldn't sell out Sonisphere worked so well this year?

This Queen rumour is floating around, but from what I've been able to dig up around it, there doesn't appear to be anything to it. Thank god.

I think it's newspapers filling pages.

[ghandi]

I'd love the Who, though this has been quashed on here by those saying they'd probably do their own thing like Knebworth, but why not, surely the Eavis could persuade them?

FM on one of the nights probably after what Mick Fleetwood said last year and perhaps Radiohead.

[Ipayne]

The Who, Fleetwood Mac & Radiohead would be a dream but I think we'd be lucky to get either Radiohead or The Who to be honest, probably not both though

Looks like it was the Daily Star just pullung it out of nowhere. A quick check of a Queen fansite seems to indicate that, after this European tour they're doing in Jan / Feb, Adam Lambert is going back to whatever it is he does when he's not doing Fred-aoke.

[Festival Liam]

"Band who a ) is doing an arena tour/new album b ) is big c ) has not payed Glasto in last 5 years. If a ), b ) and c ) are true, stick rumour of Glasto headliner in paper on slow news day. If rumour = true, festival headliner guess kudos. If rumour = false, nobody's opinion of shit rag/website changes"

The newspaper and gigwise method of headliner prediction.

Wasn't it reported because their odds shifted from 20-1 to 16-1 or something. The belief that odds dictate the actual headliners is something that's annoying me, plus they were absolutely clueless for this year!

[MichaelDoyle]

Neil, out of Muse and the Foo's, which rumour would you say has more substance to it?

[Tdiz]

My prediction is:

Foo fighters for the Friday

Fleetwood Mac for the Saturday

Radiohead or Libertines for the Sunday

[morph100]

Are you sure they would keep the same day, I wanted to put a bet on but its for the Sunday night

[eFestivals]

Neil, out of Muse and the Foo's, which rumour would you say has more substance to it?

neither.

They're both simply guesses based on nothing more than the bands expected to be 'active' next summer.
