10 Headline Acts Perfect For Glastonbury

Michael and Emily Eavis, please take note...

Celebrating its landmark 40th anniversary, Glastonbury 2010 could potentially be, to use Michael Eavis' well-worn phrase, “the best yet”. With all tickets selling out within 12 hours yesterday - a marked change from relatively sluggish sales in the two previous years - there seems to be a buzz of expectation for a monster year.

While the clichés are rolled out with monotonous regularity saying that Glasto is all about the “experience and unique atmosphere” rather than just the line-up, I reckon those phrases should be banished for next June's spectacle. Glastonbury 2010 needs to deliver headline acts monumental enough to match its landmark anniversary. At a whopping £200 a ticket, the recession hit British public deserves its money's worth too.

Here are ten acts that I believe would make perfect headline acts for Glastonbury 2010 – some are realistic while others are very far-fetched. I'll live in hope though...

  • Can't argue with any of these. I'd go for Rolling Stones most, just because you see them being able to for much longer. I reckon they'd be a good Sunday closer. Bowie - DEFINITELY.

  • Radiohead will definitely be headining next year (I know this for a fact) and the Eavis' both love Coldplay, so expect to seem them.

  • @Gigwise Yeh Dave's a great drummer and I'd see him with QOTSA or Them Crooked Vultures (or Nirvana), but I've never found Foos so fab.
