Your mom, your sister, your daughter.

Most of these headliners you all are guessing wouldn't get me to my local stadium or arena 'let alone' a farm in England. U2, Coldplay and the Stones? hahahaha They could fuck right off with that garbage.

You arent british, they do things a little differently over there, like make Kings of Leon a stadium act, when they only play arenas here. And has anyone that has gone thought it was all about the headliners? Theres people who pay the money and dont even see one act all weekend, do they need their head checked? Probably not, they know what they are going for, and you shouldnt rely on the headliners to make you feel confident in making the investment.

If I went to Coachella purely based on headliners, I'd have been there 0 times so far.

Just registered, planning on putting the deposit down when they go on sale. Now the big question is if I could actually afford to do this. Been saving for a while now for this, but unfortunately a lot of that had to be dumped into car trouble. If not this year then definitely 2013 when it returns.

[Cookieman908]

Registration was quick and painless. What won't be painless is reserving my ticket when they go up on October 3 at what will be 4a.m local time for me. Shit, I'm never up at 4a.m. anymore.

[Boourns]

So now two people I know that have never been to a fest are interested in reserving a ticket just in case.

[shakermaker113]

people buying tickets "just in case". as if it wasn't hard enough to get tickets already.

[unit300021]

Wasn't last year only a bitch to get tickets because it was the 40th anniversary of it? Tickets before last year weren't as bad to get right, or am I just massively misinformed?

[shakermaker113]

as I understand it, it always sells out the day it goes on sale.

[Boourns]

Except in 2008.

[emtgreg]

Oh, there's a remote chance I'll go.

It is definitely lineup dependent, and also life-dependent.

But I know how I can be better prepared next time, and have yet an even more amazing experience.

Especially if Sasha plays again.

Especially if Radiohead and Prince play.

It really depends on finances for me...not physically possible to go without those! Besides that, epic acts would help.

[Cookieman908]

I tried registering but my photo got rejected. Only reason I can think of is that my picture was "landscape" style instead of "portrait". God, what b.s.

[shakermaker113]

if you were them, would you want to be cropping hundreds of thousands of photos?

[Cookieman908]

Well, whatever...I'm not gonna let something like this crush my Glastonbury dream. I'll submit a dozen times if I have to.

No 2012?

[shakermaker113]

they're taking 2012 off, partly to give the land/community a break, and because it's the same year as the olympics.

[unknown]

I'm not going to register anymore. I am committed to Bestival next year.

oh. At Bestival last weekend, Juan talked to a girl who said that Glasto was taking 4 years off so they could get Bowie. JESUS CHRIST Where was I? I would have loved to laugh in her face.

[Boourns]

Sad panda. But what about...

I heard it's Prince and Radiohead. 3rd Headliner TBD.

If this (or Pulp or Bowie) isn't the case, then I'll probably end up elsewhere to try something new.

I think Coachella would be more likely than Glastonbury (not that the words Bowie and likely ever belong in the same sentence) because he's already done the epic greatest hits set at Glasto. That year also featured more gatecrashers than cromulent attendees, too.

But Gorillaz and Stevie Wonder wouldn't produce a 100K sell-out on any other basis. Glastonbury is a bit more unique, certainly my brother never see's one single act on the Pyramid Stage or The Other Stage, but is fully occupied all weekend.

Please see the entire list of stages-all 45 of them:

The headliners don't matter so much, it is the rest of the festival that makes it unique.

[shakermaker113]

bowie is never playing anywhere again. seriously people, give it up.

[emtgreg]

you could just follow the photo guidelines you know...

its you, against a white wall,

I used photo booth and got a pic right on the first try...

Dani, can we please just sticky this one quote to the top of EVERY THREAD.

It needs to be bolded for being the most true thing ever said on this board.

kthx

[Boourns]

It seems we've forgotten about this:

So "bands" doesn't necessarily mean bands.

[Gribbz]

Bowie's reputation on the boards is kind of silly. People here act like he hasn't toured in 30 years. Where were you guys in 2004?

[faxman75]

This page is cool. It tells you what songs were played on that tour and how many different times. I'm not one of the people who is dying to see Bowie. If he ends up at a festival, i'll be watching but he isn't the be all end all in my book. I feel the same way about Radiohead and both of these are mortal sins.

My brother took me to David Bowie for my thirteenth birthday. It's a concert that I've certainly mythologized in my mind, although back then I was nowhere near the level of fandom I am now. I can't fathom how I would react to seeing David Bowie play that set now.
