Headliners 2016

[Amy Lawn]

It's always full of surprises.

 

Paul Simon's coming back? Oh I do hope so.

Jean Michel Jarre with his new release and tour says is 'would be nice' to do Glastonbury.

Jean Michel Jarre with his new release and tour says is 'would be nice' to do Glastonbury.

He's said that before though.

For about 5 minutes he was rumoured for one of the previous festivals, possibly 2005.

Sorry for my continued absence. Can anyone sum up the last couple of months in a couple of lines?

I think I can pick the bones out of that.

Adele and lcd soundsystem?

Adele and lcd soundsystem?

 

Adele currently looking likely to headline (along with Foo Fighters), and there are whispers of an LCD Soundsystem reunion (for Coachella specifically, but who knows if it'd end at that if it proved to be true)

[stuartbert two hats]

Foos probably coming back.

[DomDom1984]

I don't think Foo Fighters will be doing it. I reckon people have called it right when they've predicted them for R and L.

[Amy Lawn]

Isn't it only very recently they last headlined?

2012 

[DomDom1984]

I don't think that's too short. Did Blink 182 not have a similar gap? As an English exclusive I think it'd be fine.

[Amy Lawn]

Seems awfully short to me, but I did the maths and realised it'd be 4 years.

I feel old.

I'm not sure you can say likely as yet? Efests don't believe it anymore with the added bets on or it would now be a SR.

Blink aside, the gap does seem awfully small. i think Muse are more likely to fill that 'big arena rock' headliner spot - only a year more, but it does seem to make all the difference

maybe likely is the wrong choice of words, but she's definitely a frontrunner at the moment (more down to the lack of other real rumours though, i guess)

You're not old yet if you don't think of 4 years as an awfully short number of years.

People have put 2+2 together and bet, we've seen this happen before. Myself I think if they weren't going to bump Adele up to SR after releasing that article then don't release as essntially all that's happened is a large amount of bets most likely by people that can afford to lose it.

Or Adele put the bet on herself because the winnings are tax-free!

I would be all over this. Headlining West holts? Somewhere in th dance village? Arcadia!!!! Assuming he brings his lasers of course.

Always found it odd that Kraftwerk are lauded and Jarre is dismissed as the epitome of naff, when musically they are very similar. Does Jean-Michel have a bit more cool these days?

it's purely down to lack of other rumours.

 

i'd say it's very unlikely that Adele plays.

first ever large outdoor concert is going to be headlining Glastonbury live on BBC? not a hope.

[DomDom1984]

I'm a bit more open to the idea of Adele as a headliner than I was. I was sure last time that it wouldn't happen, but as a one off show with a new album, she might be more open.

That's exactly it, new album so people jumped on Ladbrokes whatever it was. I don't have a lot of trust in it. FF is the only one we have anything to go on.
