Other Stage Headliners 2015

[Matt42]

Alt J - The Chemical Brothers and ??? I genuinely can't think of who

Any real guesses?

Whoever the third headliner is will be opposite Foo Fighters as alt-J and Chemical Brothers can only play Saturday or Sunday.

I had been thinking Bjork but not sure about her now, Faithless maybe?

Ben Howard

Wouldn't he just just send everyone to sleep?

Mums been playing his stuff in the dining room and I find my yawning levels go up.

[Gucci Piggy]

Ben Howard is also busy on the Friday so can't be him, if those other two are correct.

[dentalplan]

Ben Howard

I agree.

edit: no I don't I disagree.

Faithless, Beck, Morrissey?

I like to think a Glastonbury crowd would be the appreciative audience for his new stuff that he's yet to find in England but if kingcrawler is right then he's out anyway, he's playing Werchter on the Friday.

[willutalk]

It'd be horrible having Beck clashing Foos.

I think it should be a modern dancer act like Rudimental or Disclosure.

Let's have Beck!

I do quite enjoy Time Is Dancing on his new album, beautiful song.

I think acts are received very differently at Glasto so if he does play at all I'd hope he'd get a good reception.

He's an Acoustic headliner for me, and a large one.

He's far too big for that, he's playing arenas on his tour. I think he'll sub the other stage but he's a shout for pyramid sub as well.

[Matt42]

nah I can imagine Beck subbing the foos actually (now he's been brought up)

I'd imagine if the other headliners are Alt J and The Chemical Brothers, and the other two headliners are Coldplay and Florence - the Foo's other headliner has to be either another dance act or someone quite poppy. Can't see them putting an indie band up against the foos.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Mark Ronson would work well opposite Foos if he can find another hit by then.

[Mezhyp1]

aren't the prodigy still a realistic option?

[Mouseboy11]

Beck seems more Park/John Peel headliner to me but maybe I'm underestimating him.

[kingcrawler]

They can only do Sunday iirc so are unlikely.

Doesn't look great then

Looks like the other stage could have a surprise or two this year then

[klipper]

I think New Order could be the elusive friday headliner, they're not touring though but it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary (or has something ruled them out that I haven't noticed)

[greenArmy12]

I know it won't happen but I'd love to see Hives given a go, imagine what they could do in a headline slot after that noon slot in 2013, I've never seen a band work a crowd and inject such energy as they did especially after feeling quite flat after Beady Eye

[Bisque]

The Hives are great live but a bit unrealistic to be headlining.

Then again...

2008 was the first time I went . I thought it was great but looking back it wasn't a vintage year for bands, PATD, The Enemy, Hoosiers, The Feeling, The Fratellis, and Scouting For Girls who have all disappeared into obscurity!

The thing is even despite not being a "vintage" I wish I'd bought a last minute ticket & gone! Housemate tried to persuade me to go saying it was much better than Reading. Finally popped my G cheery two years later.

[Mezhyp1]

PATD was a low moment in the history of the other stage, and the festival for that matter
