swannymere Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 Go on then, Guesses for headliners next year? Dream - AC/DC, Fatboy Slim & Drake Likely - Tiesto/Avicii, Taylor Swift! & Fleetwood Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stug76 Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 I've always wanted to go to Glastonbury but never have but if AC/DC headlined I'd be there. Wouldn't really bother me who else was there, Radiohead, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses? I'm not really up with music - lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stug76 Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 No, he doesn't struggle with a lot of their material. He sings some of it differently than you would imagine Bonn Scott singing it perhaps, but then he would, wouldn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the vast majority of stuff they do is stuff Scott did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzw6j1mAnsQ I was here for this 23 years ago, btw. It'll only be worse with age.

dubai_phil Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 You do know that Fatboy was there this year Swanny? Headliners Abba, Genesis with Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush.......

swannymere Posted 13 July, 2014 Author Share Posted 13 July, 2014 You do know that Fatboy was there this year Swanny? Yep, but i think next year might mark a return to former glories, plus the Pyramid needs a big dance act like the old days of The Chemical Brothers or Underworld, can't see Avicii or Tiesto having the same appeal. ABBA is a good shout if the reunion happens, i think they also might chance a big Country act after Dolly's triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 14 July, 2014 Share Posted 14 July, 2014 I'm convinced Fleetwood Mac would have headlined this year if it wasn't for John McVie getting cancer. Thankfully, it sounds like he is on the mend. The rhetoric coming out from every angle last year was pointing to a Mac headline slot. Hopefully, Mr McVie fully recovers and they do a U2 and take their place next year. That would be epic. I'd make a massive mess of the Pyramid, it would almost be Arcade Fire levels of excitement for me. No idea about the other headliners. Apparently all three are booked, with one supposedly booked side of the stage during Metallica. Some suggest this is AC/DC due to them sharing a manager with Metallica (stangely, this is Louise Mensch's husband). Friends tell me they are pretty epic live. Wonder if they'll do what they did at Download a few years ago and bring their own stage? Or will the humble Pyramid suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 You get tickets in the end Phil? It sold out in record time this year!!!! (I'm ok though, I'm going :) ) One of our team got through entered all the details in the payment page and got kicked off. Absolutely gutted. Gonna have to find a blag way to get there. Hell, if I can blag my way onto the 18th Green into the melee with the players & the Champers celebrations at end of The Ryder Cup this one should be a piece of cake.... (and get my mug on TV & in most of the papers that weekend! ) (Actually have a mate from here who just moved in to Pilton so time to feed him lots of beer and try the resident/contractors route) Pretty small chance but probably larger than relying on the resale! He may not be able to help my two mates but he said in worst case he could be able to help me & Mrs D_P. His new gaffe is the VIP Helicopter landing pad for the event so he will have some clout. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Genesis reunion with Gabriel and Hackett would be special but it sounds like Phil Collins has knackered his back and cant play so doubt if it would happen.

SuperMikey Posted 7 October, 2014 Share Posted 7 October, 2014 Thankfully I managed to get a ticket this year first time round - the last 2 years we've had to go through the resale to get them.

SuperMikey Posted 19 February, 2015 Share Posted 19 February, 2015 Seen Foos 3 or 4 times before, they're very good live. Not sure if i'll be catching them this time around though, it depends on who's playing at the same time. You can guarantee they'll put on a good show though!

Perhaps there may be a chemical element to it that i'm underestimating.. Either way it looks like Hot Chip will be headlining the Other Stage or John Peel (depending on if they get a 'big' headliner for the Other).
