Headliners 2015

[Matt42]

You linked to a particular comment just so you know.

Not somebody already on the listings then?

Welcome to enlightenment where you now know my surname

Albeit a badly written pisstake.

Didn't Emily say that Flo "wasn't headlining, but she could"? Meaning that when Prince pulls out she will be bumped to headliner?

That's the general consensus yeah!

I've always taken that to mean she could, as in she's big enough or she could in the future.

Who knows...

From all that is speculated, I guess there are 4 main reasons why the line up announcement has yet to be made:

1 They want to measure ticket take up to judge the Kanye factor - if so an announcement later next week is likely

2 The third headliner is not certain yet - ie P***** but if not then Flo - but would be pressure to resolve within next couple of weeks

3 They want to delay to be later than last year to work towards Eavis's aim of the festival not being dominated by the line up, so more likely May announcement

4 It's not unusual the line up isn't out yet - several years were later than this

So is no one thinking the The Roses are still a possibility?

I do, I think they're quite a likely option to be honest.

Heart yes, head no

I hope you're right man!

Wasn't Neil pretty confident all three headliners are in place, all signed up etc. though?

Large pinch of salt but....

"Queen? Not Queen, no, no." he said. "Fleetwood Mac don't seem to be available at the moment. But we've got three excellent headliners for next year."

Pressed on the matter, Eavis added: "One of them has been around for quite a long time."

When asked whether the other two were "fairly current", Eavis replied: "Yes. It will remain a mystery until April 1 next year!"

Don't see why that rules out The Roses, I know Neil's fairly sure it's not them but he's not done particularly well this year on the headliner front (no offence). Just think they're a decent pick, good at keeping things secret too.

[Bonehead> Clapton]

Yea there just seems to be too many all of a sudden rumours about them. I think something is happening glastonbury or not.

[richroet]

This thread is beginning to fucking eat itself.

Just like Pop Will Eat Itself!

Wise Up Suckers

[fightoffyour]

I'll say once the line up poster is out (the one which doesn't specify the order). As I don't believe I should really say until the act has at least been announced.

Spill the beans Joey or at least some clues

Option 3 is my guess

Where did the Roses rumour even come from?! Their website and twitter has been inactive for a year now.

I posted that on my phone before all the Roses comments but the dodgy internet meant it took ages to go through.

I was on about Prince

From this thread.

[eastynh]

From this thread.

I think people are just attempting to join up the dots.

It makes sense for the Roses to play, especially if they have new tunes.

Plus the members of the Roses have never been this quiet and something seems amiss.

Anybody think passenger may be there? He's in Europe on the 25th & 28th, leaves him free on the Friday and Saturday, but haven't seen him mentioned in any of the line up guesses.

Very possible, I would guess mid-Other/high JP. Or failing that perhaps very high Acoustic. Though I'm no authority on gauging his popularity.
