Headliner predictions 2017

[rzwodezwo]

All I need is Matt Berninger throwing Mistaken By Strangers at my face from the Other Stage on Saturday night.

It's subjective I know, but Waterfall being the Stone Roses best song and average??? Be hard to find a band that matches their b-sides let alone album/single back catalogue. As for not getting crowd/atmosphere at the pyramid, I'd have a decent wager it would be one of the most sought after headliners to watch in recent years. Lad can't sing for shit mind.

 

Waterfall just a decent, but forgettable tune for me. If it was written by any other band then it wouldn't have been as hyped as it was I reckon.

Just stuck 30 quid on Stone Roses at 6/1 for Pyramid any night on William Hill.

You're not alone. Apart from Waterfall which is an average song at best, I really don't get the hype surrounding them and especially their reunion. 

Quite possibly, but could name 20 decent tunes and they must have one of the best drummers of our generation. They wouldn't be my first choice either, far from it, but I can appreciate some brilliant songs they have done.

Interesting William Hill have Guns n' Roses 8/11 favourites

because they know a heap of people will see it and jump on it thinking it's a sure thing. there's not a chance in hell that Guns N Roses would do Glastonbury. they're doing this reformation for the big bucks, which Glastonbury is the furthest thing from. if they do festivals at all, Download/Isle of Wight/Reading and Leeds are the only contenders (British Summer Time as well i guess although it looks like they may have pulled out of doing that this year)

Taylor Swift 

Foos 

Radiohead 

Diana Ross as the legend 

I'd take that. I'm not sure which days each would play though. Foos on Friday, Radiohead Saturday, Swift Sunday maybe? 

[The Gentleman Rhymer]

All I'm asking is that Nine Inch Nails headline the other on one night next year.  Can see it against Ed Sheeran.  And I reckon that Tame Impala could headline the pyramid after another albums cycle.

They also have Kasabian at 5/4 and that will never happen 3 years after they last headlined

Link to the betting?

Hope the 2017 venture is somewhere between the obviousness of 2016 and the puzzling madness of 2015, fun times ahead

Foo Fighters

Radiohead

Ed Sheeran

[Acid_Haze]

Friday: The Cure

Saturday: Radiohead

Sunday: Ed Sheeran

[Alan_C]

Surely if Ed Sheeran plays then he will get the Saturday night TV slot. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

It all depends on who is touring / has an album out. Unfortunately Ed Sheeran is nailed on if he does.

Foos, Radiohead, Elton John, McCartney, Roses, (If Daft Punk do Alive 17 as rumoured, surely that long known rumour will come true), Beyoncé, The Cure, Rihanna or Guns N Roses. I Can't see the other 2 being from anywhere other than those.

 

I know acts often follow the money, but the biggest act in the world Adele didn't. I wonder if that will help attract?

20 big ones on Ed sheeran at 5/1. Not bad. I'll take that. While the one new 2 returning thing was valid this year, my inkling is that this won't be the case this year. Radiohead Ed Sheeran and Foos/Roses covers all the bases really well. I can't think of another returning headliner that would be lined up apart from Radiohead. The Cure maybe?

If it was to be those three, I reckon the order would be:

Friday: Radiohead

Saturday: Ed Sheeran

Sunday: The Cure

Ed to bag the huge Saturday night TV audience.

[mufcok]

Daft Punk Alive 17 has never been an actual rumour.. has it?

[ghostdancer1]

no, just daft wishful thinking, and at odds with their previous tours which were hardly restricted to 1997 and 2007....

Or he might get the locals slot on the Sunday.

Pyramid singalong?

reckon Sheeran would get the Saturday and Roses would get the Sunday - Roses have a good chance of sounding a bit shite in that prime TV slot whereas Sheeran is guaranteed to sound good, and the Roses seem like good fodder for keeping the locals happy (been long awaited to appear at the festival)

looks like most are in agreement that if Radiohead play it seems a given they'd do the Friday

[kalifire]

I can't see where Sheeran fits in, myself.

Friday is usually a big booming 'Glasto has arrived' statement.
Saturday is a 'main event' type affair.
Sunday is the big closing.

So where does Sheeran, with his one-man-and-his-guitar show fit in to any of that?

Unfortunately the world is getting more bland every year.

The only thing regarding sheeran is - he has not headlined before. I might not like him, but he isn't the lasy bookings Muse and Coldplay were. (No matter how well they were received, it was still a lazy booking)
