Shengus Khan Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Dave Grohl seems to be a good lad but the Foo Fighters are incredibly dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Think Emily Eavis said that Foo Fighters are the big rock headliner. I don't think Kanye West and Elton John would be the worst guess for the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Kanye West has now been confirmed as the Saturday night headliner. Good stuff, biggest rapper out there, no shortage of tunes and an ego to handle the occasion. Line up already looks more interesting than the last couple of years.

Ziggy Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Bollocks. But then again, I think I've been 10 times and have only ever seen 3 headliners on the Pyramid Stage. (McCartney, Blur & The Rolling Stones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Kanye West has now been confirmed as the Saturday night headliner. Kanye West's live show is dull as ditchwater. There's just him, wearing a mask, quite possibly miming and then going off on a contrived rant. Some of his better songs are great when blaster through massive amps.

Bert Raccoon Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 There's no doubting he's an excellent choice of headliner but I wouldn't be going anywhere near the Pyramid stage while he's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think it's a very bold announcement just a few weeks before people have to pay the outstanding balance on their tickets. It might be quite easy to get tickets in this years resale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's Jay Z and Metallica all over again. All the "rock" fans seem to forget the festival started as a jazz and blues gig. He'll own Glasto and you can bookmark this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's pretty much the most diverse festival in the UK, which makes me wonder why so many people are complaining about it's diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, I don't think people are complaining about it's "diversity", I think it's more the fact that Kayne West is an utter disrespectful c**t. If he doesn't respect other artists from what they do then he shouldn't be anywhere near a festival never mind headlining one of the nights. Hopefully loads of stinking hippies and youngsters out their face launch bottles of piss onto the stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Folk who claim to be music lovers but pour scorn on everything that doesn't contain three guitars and a drum-kit are insufferable. They're up there with Youtube commenters who disregard anything made after the 80s. I bet a large number of people who signed that petition also signed the Clarkson petition... Kanye is huge, but mainly among 15-20 year olds who aren't really the main demographic for the festival. Will still sell out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If you think you won't have fun at Glastonbury unless you like the headliners on the Pyramid Stage then you really can't be appreciating it for all the things that make it so special.

Your "15 - 20 demographic" comment is pretty bullshit to be honest. I'd imagine a large portion of those that have bought Kanye West records rests in 20 to 30 year olds really. Can't say I know many 15 year olds (BEAST) but many at my age (25) who are fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My younger brother and all his mates seen to like him but I don't know that many people who do (I'm 22). Hardly scientific, but that's what I was going on. You're probably right though. I've always viewed Glastonbury as sort of mid-twenties and upwards festival whereas T in the Park / Reading + Leeds etc. mainly cater for folk in their early twenties / late teens. Having never been to Glastonbury I don't know how accurate that perception is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Glastonbury is that big there is no general demographic. You get a lot of the younger crowd at the main stages and more of the older crowd at the more diverse stages. Not saying the two are exclusive but around the Pyramid and Other stage there does seem to be more of a crowd that you'd also see at TITP and Reading & Leeds festivals.

When you consider The College Dropout is 10, nearly 11 years old the comment is nonsense. I'd love to see Kanye at Glasto, I think he'd put on a top notch show.
