Omnibus 2013 Headliner Speculation and Argument Thread

After a sub-par album release, I wouldnt say he's strong in the running to be on the Polo Fields next year. I would go as far to say its better than 4x4=12, but nothing spectacular. Although he does have plans for a new "live performance" debut sometime next year, it could happen at any big festival in the circuit. It would be cool to see it first, like the cube, at coachella though.

It's gonna be an octahedron.

I have to admit that guessing the 3 headliners has me stumped.

Plausible without any conflicts yet: Neil young, Skrillex, Bjork, deadmau5, stones, springsteen, Aerosmith, NIN, RHCP, Rush and the Cure.

I now think are doubtful because of other 2013 plans: Daft, pearl jam, beyonce and tool.

Subs: jack white, yorke, Phoenix and stone roses.

My list from a couple months ago, most can be basically ruled out at this point.


Acts with strongest likelihood:
-Green Day(fall/spring dates give evidence?)
-Daft Punk(rumours of spring album and summer festival dates)
-Pearl Jam(20th years since 1993 show that put Indio on the map, have declined in the past)
-Depeche Mode(new album, touring, big SoCal audience)

Fuzzy 2013 plans, not out of running:
-Neil Young(has to be electric/Crazy Horse to headline, could do with guests like CSN. Hollywood Bowl show is 6 months before Chella)
-Skrillex(I was there with an arena packed of kids going bonkers in Seattle last weekend, Deadmau5 is an off year)
-Jack White(probably only a headliner if Meg decides to leave the house, has to be somewhere on the 2013 bill)

No known 2013 activity:
-Madonna(Live Nation contract complicates things, Staples October 10/11 - 6 months)
-ACDC(rumours of handful of dates being shopped?)
-Beyonce(Glastonbury proves she can do it, would have guests to make it special)
-Bjork(any 2013 touring plans known?)

"weak"/"Lazy"/Odd Genre fit bookings for headliners:
-Mumford & Sons(needs ot be more established)
-Smashing Pumpkins(AEG doing arena tour, LA date is 6 months prior to Chella)
-Rammstein(genre/language barrier)
-Katy Perry(non touring year?)
-Rihanna(April 8th Staples, left schedule holes to attend)
-Killers(new album, 2009 repeat)

Longshots:
-Deadma5(April 2013 activity, promised no new shows?)
-Smiths(curious to see if Moz gets interviewed on Colbert this month)
-Rolling Stones(London shows have AEG connection)
-Gaga(has SoCal dates in January, roughly same week as Chella Lineup)
-Eminem(wait a year)
-Coldplay(saturated the market this album)
-MUSE(east coast April 2013)
-Foo Fighters(not booking shows)
-No Doubt(so-so album, 6 late 2011 LA amph shows)
-Sabbath(Iommi health/Bill Ward??)
-Beach Boys(wrong setting for them, 2013 dates rumoured?)
-TOOL(only when there's new material released, April APC activity)
-Fleetwood Mac(will another reunion tour happen?)
-NIN(if Trent gets bored of wearing Tuxidos on red carpets)
-Roger Waters(Europe Stadium dates for Summer 2013 seem to be happening. Too depressing for a festival?)
-Soundgarden(only if the first proper dates with new material, if it's good. April PJ activity for Matt)
-Kanye/Jay-Z(too soon after 2011 and 2010)
-Adele(new mother, shies away from Arenas/festival and genre issues)
-Phoenix(needs to be more established?)
-Guns 'n Roses(tardiness, wrong crowd plus they have Vegas residency)
-Thom Yorke/Atoms of Peace(He doesn't need to play 2010/2012/2013)
-Aerosmith(odd fit, lazy booking?)
-David Bowie(retired)
-Bruce Springsteen(Anaheim date in December, will tour in 2013, odd Chella fit?)
-The Cure(too soon after 2009? Lazy headliner booking?)
-RHCP(saturated the market this album, don't need to be threepeat headliner)
-REM(defunct and don't need the money but would be perfect for a Chella one-off)
-U2(haven't heard anything recent about them)
-Stevie Wonder(No new material, odd Chella fit or lazy booking?)
-Van Halen(EVH needs a clean bill of health after recent surgery, DLR's voice)
-RUSH(never done a US Festival? Mid November dates in SoCal, RRHOF induction

OMFG

I'm not convincing, I'm telling. And the only thing you know is nothing.

Just out of curiosity, how much are you willing to bet?

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think I'd be interested in extra money? How much do you think my transaction cost is?

In any event, I'd regard trading on inside information as unethical.

Hmmm....doesn't have to be money....

You have me confused with someone interested in anything other than sharing what I know, examining/explaining why it might be, and pushing people away from pointless discussions. To an extent, I'd prefer not to be widely believed.

If you were any good at this, "Mr. Hand," you'd be going with, "Why do you shamelessly waste my time like this?" and "Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" That sort of thing.

MotorAve = good at this

MotorAve has taken it to the next level...

He really has played this very well, whether he's wrong or right. I give him trolling props.

I'm honestly quite amused. I'm really hoping he is wrong about the Killers though.

I wouldn't care much about Chili Peppers being the "meh" headliner, just as long as they're the meh headliner. I'm just happy as long as I get 1 good headliner and 2 good subs in the weekend, that's enough for me. One absolutely great thing per day.

This entire board is a waste of time. If I gave a shit about that I wouldn't be here.

And if you were any good at this, you'd have picked more realistic headliners.

Yes, if I were guessing, I would have picked someone totally different. Like the rest of you.

If I had to pick, Led Zeppelin > Rolling Stones.


yeah.

Are you sure they wouldn't share a line and coheadline?

This is a alias/parody account, right? Nobody actually does things like this.
