Headliners 2015

[The 38 year old virgin]

Coffin illusion. Come on!

Europe to headline

[WS_Jack_III]

It took me a minute or two, but I settled on this:

That's my favourite 'on the next Arrested Development'

[Wooderson]

Is be interested to know in a personal opinion what could have made it better. ?

The setlist was misjudged.

[TomViolence]

on here only

But would the masses of people complaining about Kanye really want to watch Pharell and Taylor Swift?

Other than born in the USA and at a push hungry heart what could he have played to appease the casual fan ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even if they weren't massivel familiar to the average joe, deploying a few more winning numbers the likes of Rosie, Tenth Avenue Freeze Out, Sherry Darling or Darlington County instead of things like Radio Nowhere would have gone a long way.

I don't get Bruce. Sorry. Just wanted to get that out of the way and move on here.

I'm on Fire/Spirit/Tenth/Jungle/Racing/the aforementioned USA & Heart/Atlantic....

One day you'll be walking along the street all unsuspecting like and Racing in The Street will come along unannounced and just fucking destroy you.

[Amy Lawn]

God no!! I was loving Mr Andy smash angel on the other stage.

No doubt whilst being watched by Google

Sorry I ever doubted you, a magnificent performance by all on the Other stage that night, I think Inertia Creeps put me on a higher level of consciousness. Leicester's finest did a brilliant job of keeping the nobheads out.

[Fivefingerjohn]

I don't think Pharrell or swift will be there.

And I think madonna will headline. Maybe take that.

I think Ben Howard might be bumped up to sub. With Florence. Third I dunno... Prodigy, are they available?

[FloorFiller]

a nice sunny team time slot for The Prodigy. after Lionel would be swell

[WS_Jack_III]

I don't like his songs when he sings them. Heard some fantastic versions of his songs by others.

I'll categorically tell you that Ben Howard will not sub, I have no actual evidence but I'm that confident!

I do enjoy the utter musical certainty of your posts at times, CG...but Bruce? Nah. Just not for me i'm afraid.

It says nothing to me about my life.

This is brilliant, as is the album

Blasphemy.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sorry, er, 38 Year Old Virgin, but that version of Thunder Road is usually my nomination when the subject of Worst Ever Cover Version arises.

[Woffy]

Musical haphephobia.

really? I fell in love with the whole album really, wore it out a few years ago. The calvary cross though, eh?

[guypjfreak]

my wife thinks theres gonna be an announcement tomorrow ????***%^&£$"<>PP~##......who knows she may be right lol

[Thelips]

Don't disagree. Put the above in,especially jungleland and I'm on fire and it would have been, without a shadow of a doubt a lot more appealing to the casual fan and made a better set.

But like I say when you book an act with a 40 year back catalogue there's always going to a setlist issue with people.

For what it's worth I'd say 18 of the 25 song setlist where songs the casual fan would know. Obviously that's biased as a fan.

[marcwilson87]

It's my birthday. I remember when The Rolling Stones were announced on my birthday when I was drunk. Now I'm just drunk.

completely agree....yes there are some great Springsteen covers around....but that aint one of them..
