Acts Touring Around Glastonbury Time 2015

[dentalplan]

Yeah she was 4th along on the big poster (not the Donwood one).

Anyway back on topic rather than who people want to tour around Glasto 2015 I believe Belle and Sebastian are playing ATP Iceland the week after the festival. Though they always seem to be touring around the time but still it would be nice.

[stuartbert two hats]

Yeah there was chat of a "4th headliner" a few years back and along with this co-headlining option above it smacks of rubbish to me. For me its clear cut. If you are the last to play the Pyramid on a given night then you are the headliner. Play anything below that and you are not

Indeed, we all called bullshit on the idea back then. R+L can have joint headliners. Vegas residencies can have joint headliners. Glastonbury Festival cannot.

[mrtourette]

I seem to remember seeing a Pyramid stage crew tshirt at some point, which had Dolly Parton listed on the back along with the 3 headliners - so seems she was treated as a 4th headliner to an extent.

Plus she had her full set shown live on BBC2 - like a headliner.

Until they put it on for a fourth night, there are only three Pyramid stage headliners.

yes. long overdue. Park headliner? or are they too big for that? if they are, then a decent slot on Other

The Moody Blue tour finishes 25th June...

Lord help us. Speaking of which, Marron 5's tour finishes June 17th by which time they'll have already been in the UK so we've probably dodged a bullet there and 5 Seconds of Summer (this summer's hottest ticket pop pickers!) finish theirs on June 14th.

Unless everyone pisses off on the Monday after the festival, has a shower and comes back on Wednesday to do it all again...

She was just treated like a big popular act that was playing on the Sunday afternoon. She can not be a headliner for the patently obvious reasons already outlined above. By your "t-shirt" logic we can call Paolo Nutini a 4th Headliner on the other stage for 2014.

Further to this not all headline sets are shown in full on the BBC and her set was only just over an hour long, which is very unlike actual headliners who will do on average near the 2 hour mark (anything from 1 hour 30 mins to 2 hours 30mins in the case of Bruce)

Why - did the Other stage have crew tshirts (listing the headliners) with Paulo on there as well? If so, fair enough - just thought I'd mention it.

Also I didn't say she was a headliner - just that the festival clearly bigged her up more than any other recent non-headliner.

I don't think they are but I'd prefer them in the early evening on the Other so that'd do me.

[bocumaroy]

Yeah, size-wise they’d be fine for the Park, I think, but I just always imagine seeing them in daylight. Can see them early on the Pyramid actually.

[willutalk]

It was strange because all the news programmes shortly before the festival was about to take place said that Glastonbury was going to be headlined by Arcade Fire, Metallica and Dolly Parton totally dismissing Kasabian. Didn't fully understand the logic.

[Avalon_Fields]

Now he's back touring, I'd love to see Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam at Glastonbury 2015. Now there's a real legend spot!

[jackarmy]

Didn't Rod Stewart/Roger Waters co-headline in 2002? But Rod's ego meant he refused to go below anybody on the bill...

i think Rod was the 'official' headliner but Eavis said that in his eyes Roger Waters was the true headliner

IMN acts who will tour in summer 2015 include Anat Cohen Quartet, Kurt Elling Passion World, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, and Youssou N'Dour!

was surprised Sharon Van Etton wasn't at Glasto this year so I expect her to be playing next year

Hopefully. Evening on the Park would be lovely.

[dentalplan]

Mark Knopfler has a gap in his schedule that can only be described as 'Glastonbury sized'.

Not that I particularly want this - I just noticed it.

Yeh I want Sharon to sub the park

Bryan Ferry touring May into early June, could maybe make a switch to a daytime Pyramid slot after West Holts this year but very much douby it.

Could Derren Brown possibly fit in anywhere?

Toto are doing Sweden Rock at the start of June.

Hearing 'Africa' at Glastonbury would complete my life. If i got to with The Hoff as my wingman. Dressed in a Star Wars Stormtrooper outfit.

Interesting idea that. Don't know if he would need an audience that stays in place for the duration, rather than one that ebbs and flows like a typical festival crowd. I'd definitely try to catch him though.

Yeah... I thought the same thing. Do they ever have shows where the audience is "locked in" so to speak?

I've only ever seen his stuff on TV and the 'big reveal' is often stuff linked to the earlier part of the show.
