Ira Gaines Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Well, Coldplay are confirmed as headliners, and PJ Harvey and Jeff Lynne's ELO have been added officially as well. Loaded think they've got the headliners, and are confirming what The Sun says, which tells me that it's sorted. Muse and Adele are the other headliners. They're also saying New Order and Bring Me the Horizon are headlining Other. BMTH are self confirmed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Read rumours of Muse and the Stone Roses being the other headliners although I think Adele is more likely. Either way, the Glastonbury line-up has never appealed to me and as i dislike all the line-up so far (confirmed and rumoured), I doubt this year will be any different.

Bert Raccoon Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The more Emily Eavis gets involved, the safer the main stage line ups get. Thankfully, there's so much going on in the other areas you can easily avoid the bland MOR dirge the main stages show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Adele, fair play she might be good at what she does for that type of music but it's just naw a festival act let alone a headline act, deary me Glasto! That Emily Eavis is doing her best to make a right f**k up of that great festival the cow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Metallica were going to be doing Other. Prince pulled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Stone Roses won't do it. Not enough money in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think it will be Adele and Radiohead. Although, Muse might be a good guess as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Radiohead won't play Glasto again I don't think. At least on the Pyramid, as they don't like the sound off of it. And it's going to be Muse, Adele, Coldplay. In that order of nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This seems a bit far from the truth with them having just had Metallica as headliners last year. I'll give you Metallica aren't the kind of band Glastonbury usually book, but I'd hardly say booking them was a huge risk considering they are one of the biggest selling acts on the planet.

And added to that, Metallica were due to be surprise headliners on Other. Their hands got forced on that. That year pretty much ensured that Glasto aren't going to try and get Prince again.

Bert Raccoon Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I never said they were a risk. Just not the usual Glasto type act. Don't need to tell me Metallica facts, I'm a total Metallica fanboy. The main reason behind them not booking heavier acts was what happened at Roskilde, after people died there, Eavis decided not to book any heavier acts. Bit of an overreaction IMO as I'd feel safer in a crowd for Metallica than I would for someone like The Stone Roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Bring Me the Horizon are definitely heavy by Glastonbury standards and they'll play. They've got two of the biggest acts on the planet as headliners and there's an unreal amount on at the same time. I'd say they've made a good start.

Ziggy Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Awful headliners. This will be my 11th Glastonbury, so far I've seen 3 out of a possible 30 pyramid headliners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Beyond pumped that Adele is headlining Glasto alongside Muse and Coldplay. This, the Oscars and Obama ousted in November. White people absolutely crushing it in 2016. One for the ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I seen Metallica the other year, about two songs of the Stones before wandering off to have an ace time at Public Enemy, Arcade Fire and Muse last time they played. That is the sum of my Pyramid headliners since 2010. Massive Attack on the Other Stage in 14 was utterly fucking epic. One of the best gigs of my life.I am sure there was a Squarepusher at the Glade one year, Slamboree another. Christ knows the shit I have been up to other years instead of the pap at the Pyramid. I used to do the Pyramid loads, but these days its really the weakest part of the whole place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
