I know they said 3 British headliners, but Foo Fighters are making an announcement tonight. Could it be?

Must be a new album announcement, single or TV programme. I think they (the Eavii) did aim to put the Foo Fighters rumours to bed by saying how they have 3 British headliners.

3 british headliners narrows it down a bit, ones I can think of from possible uk acts to headline this year at the top of my head are Stone Roses, Adele (if she's big enough) or maybe Biffy Clyro?

Wishful thinking but chances of Foos playing a secret set and/or maybe returning next year?

It's going to be Adele, the dust has settled, the dream has died. Time to face reality

Someone just questioned, If Adele's big enough to headline!!!

Seriously, you may not like her, she may not be the uplifting music you want on a Saturday night but big enough!!!!!! Come on now.

Never said I didn't like her, she's a great singer, I was simply questioning her ability to headline or whether she'd sub, genuine curiousity.  A simple "oh she's definitely big enough to headline" would have been a bit better, no need to be so rude, asking a question I was, not degrading her.

How can you question whether Adele is big enough but then suggest Biffy Clyro, who are CO-headlining Reading/Leeds?

As for Foos, I doubt they'll be there in any capacity this year, but they're a pretty good bet to be headlining next year with a new album

Curiosity?? TBH I question anyone's sanity who doesn't think or know that she is big enough to headline.

CoreyT, Google Adele. You don't need people here to tell you if she's big enough to headline, that'll put your mind at rest

Well I'm not certain Biffy would be big enough either, they headlined Reading/Leeds in 2013 (and absolutely proved themselves as headliner after the release of opposites) and have now been 'dropped' to a Co-Headliner, so maybe they'd still sub, but I'm just wondering whether Adele could pull it off considering her style of music if that makes sense

This, shes probably the biggest right now out of every act to be mentioned or any act who could possibly play at glastonbury? Her ticket sales pretty much speak that and not to mention she had the biggest selling album...?

I think my post was interpreted a LOT different to how I meant it, didn't mean to annoy all the Adele fans, was simply trying to continue with the title of this thread whilst getting people (myself included) excited for June and upcoming annoncements, not cause everyone on the forum to hate me haha, sorry guys and gals.

Nobody is saying they are Adele fans btw!! But it's just ridiculous to even question if she could headline. 

And sadly for most on here.... She probably will

Don't think you will find many Adele fans on here but I think people have questioned (myself included) the issue of Adele being a big enough act.

I've put a few stats up on here to give people a gauge on her size here's couple again (headliner related)...

Beyonce has sold 35 million albums as a solo artist (5 albums), Adele has sold 31 million copies of her second album '21'

Adele has sold 19 million copies in three months of her latest album '25' which it more than Blur have sold in total over their 25 year career.

I like to point out at this point I will be nowhere near Adele as I will be at New Order (Or SSSLLLLAAAAYYYYEEETRRR)

Now that's an answer I can make sense out of and understand why everyone took my head off haha, suppose she is 'big enough' then, but I still question whether it'd do the headline slot justice, a Slayer/Adele clash will certainly cause uproar between me and my other half!!

Just had a look and Adele has sol in the region of 57 million albums. 

 

19 sold 10 million

21 sold 32 million

25 has so far sold something like 15 million

I will also be no where near,  you can guarantee it will be a big crowd. She is big enough and will Kill it that's if by the time June comes around her voice is holding up.

I'm not sure what I'll do in the case of the up coming Slayer / Adele clash.  I like both equally and would happily see both, although I've seen Slayer a number of times already and haven't seen Adele (for obvious lack of touring reasons)... interesting problem.
