Tash Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Glastonbury 2013 festival tickets go on sale in October Tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival are to go on sale at 9am on Sunday 7 October. There is no event this year as the site in Somerset takes a break. Festival-goers will have to register to buy tickets in a bid to tackle ticket touting. No headliners have been announced for the 2013 festival although organiser Michael Eavis told Newsbeat earlier this year that they had already been "chosen". The 76-year-old revealed the news as he picked up a lifetime achievement award at the European festival awards in Groningen, Holland, in January. The registration process for next year remains the same. Music fans will have to fill in their personal details and upload a photograph although if you have already registered, your details will be saved online. The 2011 festival was headlined by U2, Coldplay and Beyonce. Next year's Glastonbury starts at Worthy Farm on Wednesday 26 June. Ticket prices will be revealed over the next few months. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Rolling Stones have no plans to play Glastonbury – or retire Band's representatives deny report that the Stones will bow out with first and final Glastonbury appearance in 2013 The Rolling Stones have denied that they will be bowing out next year with a headline show at Glastonbury festival. The Sunday Mirror reported that the rock'n'roll legends would retire with their first and only appearance at Worthy Farm when the festival returns in 2013. But when the Guardian contacted the band's representatives, they insisted there is no truth to the claims. They also said the band would not be playing the festival. The Rolling Stones remain one of the few bands on the Glastonbury wish-list never to have played the festival. A source had told the Sunday Mirror: "All four members have agreed that next year is the right time to have one final hurrah and put on the gig of their lives. It's as case of now or never, and obviously Glastonbury is the most important festival on the circuit. Everybody's incredibly excited … it's a final bow." The show would apparently have been one of "a handful" in the UK and the US taking place next year, and it had been suggested the band were choosing to bow out to mark their 50th anniversary. Glastonbury's press office said this morning that speculation about the Stones playing the festival is nothing new, since they are one of the few legends never to have appeared, but there have been no conversations as yet. A spokesman said: "Everybody in the year off thinks they've come up with the perfect Glastonbury lineup. But at the moment there isn't anything to confirm or deny." link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I wonder how much they will cost this year. In the past 5 years they have gone up a tenner each time. I can bet by 9:30 all the tickets would have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Kat Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm thinking about going next year The cost is £205 + £5 Booking and £6 Postage I'm just a little unsure yet whether all my exams will have ended by then and I need to find out if my friend is going :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Anyone have any predictions for headliners? Or is it too early to start guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think we can safely say Coldplay won't be there. I would say any of the following: Arcade Fire Fleetwood Mac Radiohead Mumford and Sons Arctic Monkeys Lady Gaga Prince Stone Roses Three of those I reckon. I'm going with AF, SR and FM.

Cyan Kat Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm not so sure about Fleetwood Mac but that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was thinking Radiohead too. Have they announced any tour plans for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Franz Ferdinand surely Not to headline. Subheadline, maybe. Or the Other Stage perhaps, if someone like Gaga was on the Pyramid Stage? But Franz would be quality. :cool: I'm not so sure about Fleetwood Mac but that would be great That's just what I've heard. They're reforming, would certainly fit the "legend" status of Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, etc. Personally, I'd love it, I was brought up with them. (Their music, not actually in a house with Stevie Nicks, although that would've been cool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was thinking Radiohead too. Have they announced any tour plans for next year? Don't think they have. It would be awesome if Radiohead returned, but would they be right? Eavis is charging £215, and I'm not sure TKOL-era 'Head really justifies that, especially after the fallow year... he surely has to book big name mainstream pleasers all round.

Black Rose Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Franz to headline the other stage again. I reckon for the 3 headliners: Friday - Kasabian Saturday - Prince Sunday - Rihanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know... it's a shame really. Maybe they could headline one of the smaller stages so that 'true' music fans will be able to go see them while Ed Sheeran or someone is on the main stage :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It's £215 for 5 days of action (Wednesday afternoon to Sunday night) of which the headliner will be 2 hours of that. Most likely it will sell out within a couple days without even any bands confirmed, Glastonbury is pretty much the only festival which can sell out without having to give the full line-up out first.

Mark Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Franz to headline the other stage again. I reckon for the 3 headliners: Friday - Kasabian Saturday - Prince Sunday - Rihanna Kasabian aren't big enough or good enough yet. They're headlining other festivals by process of elimination.

The Final Track Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 We're outnumbered, I fear :( But if Radiohead headline it's not like people won't come. They've played two of the great Glasto sets over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 But if Radiohead headline it's not like people won't come. They've played two of the great Glasto sets over the years. Well they can book anyone and everyone will come because you pay in advance. That's not the point of what I was saying. What I was saying was that Radiohead are not a popular booking. A cult booking, yes, but not a particularly popular one. Not to follow on from U2, Coldplay and Beyonce, that's for sure. That's not to say they won't be announced, it just doesn't exactly scream of one of the great Glasto sets, as you touched upon; they're touring the King of Limbs, after all.

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Radiohead are a good bet. The Stone Roses will be there I think. Arcade Fire maybe but I'm not sure if Eavis considers them Pyramid Stage attractions in the way a band like Coldplay were. From what I heard the crowds were absolutely huge that night. Don't know if Arcade Fire can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Arcade Fire will headline the other stage, they are too unknown to the main stream to do the main stage. Stone Roses nah, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they definitely are in the same league, but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
