Theres that Prince yearbook photo btw, didn't wanna imbed it as it was fairly big. Realistically speaking I don't think he'll play but the 40th anniversary surely calls for legends such as him and if Dylans rumoured I'm wondering who else will be...

Bowie - Semi-retired? I know he sang backing vocals for Scarlett Johansson's album last year and just released some old stuff... I think he's likely.

Zeppelin
- All in the hands of Plant and he doesn't seem tempted by cash so may be drawn to Glasto but I still doubt it.

Pink Floyd/The Smiths/Stone Roses
- As if...

Pulp reunion
Radiohead
David Bowie

but I am not opposed to one of the headliners being awful (Killers, Turds of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, etc) since there's so much going on.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't see Muse one night - they haven't played for a while and will have material from The Resistance to unleash on a Glasto audience.

Radiohead have been rumoured for years but obviously signed an exclusive deal with Leeds/Reading this year. Despite having no new material i think for the 40th anniversary Eavis will be keen to deliver Radiohead to the Pyramid.

Which leaves one slot - a re-united Pulp would be fabulous but unlikely. I can't envisage Led Zep, Stone Roses or the Smiths getting back together either, despite the draw of Glasto's 40th birthday. The Stones are too greedy, and i hope U2 are too. Dylan would have to perform a greatest hits set, which i imagine he'd be loath to do. Prince would be absolutely fantastic. Beyonce could be a curve ball. My preference would be for Daft Punk or Faithless but i'm not sure that either are big enough for a landmark Pyramid occasion. I'd love to see Bowie too (lost my opportunity when he pulled out of T in the Park a few years back) but i'm not sure his health would permit it. Perhaps someone could come out of left field and take the charts by storm between now and then, but it seems that Eavis already has his irons in the fire...

My feeling is:

Friday - Muse
Saturday - Prince
Sunday - Radiohead

I can't believe that barely a week after 2009 we're already speculating on 2010's line-up. Brilliant, eh!?

Totally unrealistic:

Daft Punk
Basement Jaxx

Rage Against The Machine
Pixies

Prince
Flaming Lips

My other son went to Leeds Fest and Rage against the machine played there he said it was the most fantastic stage performance he has ever seen, he was right at the front but due to some dickheads crowd pushing everybody started to get crush so the band had to stop in between whilst the crowd was sorted.

So Rage against the Machine should be headlining Glastonbury next year forgot about them lol whoops :)

I've got a feeling it might be the Rolling Stones, whilst Keith is still able to stand up.

As far as I am concerned, ideally no headliner should be someone who has played Glastonbury in the last 2 years and has headlined Glastonbury in the last 10 years.

So that rules out Muse, Coldplay, Radiohead, Oasis, Bowie, McCartney, Kasabian, Elbow etc etc etc

Its always way more interesting and exciting when its somebody completely new, and bands always put tons more effort into their first headline slot at Glastonbury. Plus, it eradicates any "they were better the last time" comments.

Elbow aren't planning to release more material between now and then (correct me if i'm wrong), so i can't see them growing sufficiently between now and next year.

Coldplay - i really hope not!

Beyonce - a definite possibility. She's a big star with crossover appeal and would probably bring an entourage of guests.

I just remember michael eavis (or was it emily?) being very excited about their performance last year. I could see them doing it. They have 4 albums now so have the material. If kings of leon could do it, so could elbow I reckon.

I agree with you about coldplay believe me! I pray I am way wrong here!
