Glastonbury - the future

Dont spend millions on BIG headlines acts.

Make it cheaper and more accessible.

Glastonbury has become too white and too middle class.

It's always been predominantly white, in fact I would say it's less !"white" now then it's ever been
 
A dream lineup for me next year would be.

Eminem (one big last hurrah for the surely his last live performances).
Fleetwood Mac (with Buckingham back in the fold, very unlikely)
Arctic Monkeys (built for festivals)
The Strokes (ironic considering Alex Turner of the above's fanboyism of Casablanca)
Taylor Swift(I'm a small fan, she'd put on a hell of a show that's certain).
Oasis (money will talk sooner rather than later)
 
Suprised no one has mentioned the chemical brothers. Might not be everyone's cup of tea. But they smashed it last time. (and at castle howard last Sunday )

That would be great, but I'd like to add to all that Radiohead doing it to promote a new album, since they haven't done a new album in 7 years by next summer, Portishead with a full orchestra similar to their Roseland concert, Arcade Fire just a fun concert you can dance to, Bob Dylan in the legends slot. Page & Plant playing their Led Zep catalogue, and Blondie.....oh and Iggy F....n Pop....ah too many, you'd need a 5 day Glastonbury for that lot

For me, Portishead and Radiohead are bands that you should see at indoor venues for atmosphere. Would find it pretty dull at a festival.

Have never understood the attraction with Arcade Fire, they can go in the sea with Alt-J
 
Oasis reuniting to headline Glastonbury would be special but sadly will never happen. Noel genuinely despises Liam and even Liam has now given up on calling for a reunion.

I'd love to see the Strokes headline one year but apparently it's because of the money, and artists who perform at Glastonbury usually receive less than 10% of what they'd usually get for other performances.

 
Someone who hasn’t been mentioned who have never headlined but would play 2 hours and smash it out of the park are Guns n Roses
 
Pink Floyd
AC/DC
Guns N Roses
Blondie
Get Robert Plant, John Paul Jones an Jimmy Page to team up with Paul McCartney and Ringo’s son to do a Led Zeppelin/The Beatles super group show - job sorted 👍🏻

Radiohead were unbelievably good on Pyramid in 2019. Dull they were not. I agree with you about Arcade Fire. Loved their first album but their newer stuff not for me.
 
I think Sigur Ros would be a great shout for a headliner, despite not understanding a word they are saying and a bit of it in a made up language.
 
Interesting, I'd always wondered why the strokes hadn't played. One of the only big bands from that generation not too despite headlining numerous other festivals.

Having seen them a few weeks ago Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds would be shoe in for next year if they're still touring. Could easily headline the other stage but I'd personally have them headline the entire thing, they are that good.
