Which band(s) could realistically headline *ALL* the major UK festivals: Glastonbury, Reading, V, Download, Isle of Wight, T in the Park, Bestival?

BetterGayThanGuevara [Edit] [Delete] 11:49, 14 November '12

I think the only answer is The Prodigy.

We were discussing this in the pub last night. Are there any other bands who are big enough and have enough of a cross-genre appeal that they could realistically headline *any* of the major festivals in 2013?

Foo Fighters was another potential, but I can't quite see them headlining Glastonbury for some reason.

The Prodigy are the only band who could equally please the metal kids at Download, the rockers at Reading, the dads at Isle of Wight, the pop fans at V/T, the students at Bestival and the middle managers at Glastonbury. I don't think there's anyone else who could do it.

Hmmm, intersting...
