on Friday probably Radiohead, on Saturday Biffy Clyro, and on Sunday Muse.

What a festival that would be....

yer muse would be good, thatd be my other.

Pulp...

One last hurrah...seems to be a swell of interest again due to Deluxe re-releases and the growing popularity of bands like The Long Blondes et al.

people who could/would actually headline?

neil young w/crazy horse
REM
can't think of any others who aren't dead/split-up.

other stage headliners would be a more fun game.

Yes. In an ideal world

I'd have Hendrix and Otis Redding.

I think that happened at Monterey. Oh for the summer of love!

thewarn | 9 Aug '06, 10:10 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Hmm, this would be ideal for me, yet not possible

Friday- Radiohead
Saturday- Hendrix
Sunday- Muse

Now THAT would make a good Glastonbury. Unless Lily Allen was there.

could co headline with the flaming lips on the saturday.
so it'd be:
Muse
The knife/flaming lips
Dire straits.

i'd choose

exactly the same main stage bands as you, but i'd sneak Tom Waits, Pavement and Delgados onto the 2nd stage.

Friday: Radiohead
Saturday: Coldplay
Sunday: Stone Roses

Yes, I am being serious about Coldplay. If you've not seen them live, you aren't allowed to judge them live, I'm afraid.

looks like it's gonna end up being...

...the fucking killers.

http://www.nme.com/news/the-killers/23858

Looks like nme have fucked up a bit though, after promising to "exclusively reveal" headliners today.

soledoubt | 9 Aug '06, 10:58 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Friday: Springsteen
Saturday: Smashing Pumpkins
Sunday: Ryan Adams

am I not getting the game or

...am I the only one who wouldn't want a band I liked headlining cos that would mean I'd have to watch them in a field with 50,000 people, lots sitting about eating their lunches, with shite acoustics looking at tiny dots?

Vaneigem | 9 Aug '06, 12:04 | Send note | Report this | Reply

you're not getting it

because we're talking about Glastonbury, where normal huge-crowd-rules don't apply.

joshua_t | 9 Aug '06, 12:56 | Send note | Report this | Reply

except if you nearly get crushed to death watching blur circa 98.

or carried away from your boyfriend by the crowd watching radiohead in 2001. Big crowds at the main stage at glastonbury do count.

I would have:

Rufus Wainwright
The Cat Empire
Aretha Franklin
