Headliners 2015

[morph100]

My Latest guess:

Taylor swift

Foo fighters

Elton John

[Brave Sir Robin]

She does seem to have a mystifying cachet with hipsters and certain critics so wouldn't be the most unlikely booking they could make.

Although I note (happily) that most of the acts that were at BST last year didn't show up at G.

Here's a mashup of her and Aphex Twin: https://soundcloud.com/david_rees/aphex-swift-t4ouble

If Taylor swift is at glastonbury I will actually die

she's one of my ultimate guilty pleasures and I never would of expected I'd possibly see her without forking out money.

Surely she couldn't sub? if she subs then that's the biggest coup glastonbury have ever got seeing as she's the best selling artist right now.

[Matt42]

Am I missing something??

I'd have thought she'd be third down - sub at best.

3/5 of her albums have opened with 1M + sales in the US and nearly 2M worldwide.

she's also sold out venus across the world.

Queen and Fleetwood Mac not playing from Michael Eavis

Well that's brightened an already very good day! Nice one Mr E! Edited October 30, 2014 by fatyeti24

Hang on a minute, Are people seriously suggesting Taylor Swift will be at Glastonbury? Regardless of how many albums she's sold, she is utter shite.

You're just old, mate. Like me. I couldn't name you one of her tunes.

Still, I like the idea of her much, much more than some ancient gang of cockwombles like Fleetwood Mac, or*spits* Queen *spits twice*

[bocumaroy]

I suggested her subbing for Fleetwood Mac, but she could definitely headline, which would be great. She's right near the top of my wish list just because I’d never pay the money it would cost to go to one of her gigs, but her set would be packed with good songs.

She could outright headline or sub (if she really wants to play), kinda similar to the size of beyonce in 2011, wasn't she originally gonna sub the purple one?

I think people may be giving her a bit of a bad name, her commercial material is very poppy, but then some of her more country - personal songs are actually pretty good. Plus she writes her own stuff!

I wouldn't label her with Katy Perry etc, she's a step above those.

Simply copy and paste whenever someone you don't like/think is appropriate is rumoured. Excuse the pun.

It'll be gumby spitting twice looking at the other thread!!

You flatter me.

I agree with this but think it's a bit too good to be true....

[Guy Incognito]

Wait, this means that Kanye could still headline!

(Im kidding)

(i'm not really)

[russycarps]

I'd much rather swift played than the foo fighters. At least it's a bit different

[ghostdancer1]

only headliner from BST last year that played Glastonbury was Arcade Fire.

none of the rest did, despite some like The Libertines and Neil Young being clearly suited, or even Tom Jones for the legends slot.

it's extremely unlikely that Taylor Swift will play.

My god, what have I done?

[Bisque]

I really want Taylor Swift to play now!

[TomViolence]

Damon too big for JP... right?

I understand your point but the foos have never headlined before?
