anyone wanna tell me Flo is headlining...?

I don't think anyone guessed that the reason you knew is because Emily said so!

[hurdy]

Little tinker...

[Tuna]

[jeffie]

Mann Friday!!

Love it when a plan comes together, can't say they haven't been pushing

Moving Strummerville up to the hill sounds like it could be a great idea.

[the wonderwhy]

Cool interview.

Good Courtney is gonna be back

[dentalplan]

anyone wanna tell me Flo is headlining...?

Emily obviously doesn't want to yet.

[tommyds]

Nice interview, good to see that she's not bitter about when secrets get out

[Mezhyp1]

Il admit defeat now

[Mardy]

great news about Courtney! Happy about that

[5co77ie]

their cup runneth over when it come to green initiatives this year - more on that soon

[dentalplan]

Seems weird that she brought Florence up out of nowhere and then stated that she could headline but isn't, and can't give anything away. A sub slot would be a low blow considering that's the second time she's said she could headline, and an untelevised Other opener as seemingly the only UK appearance she does doesn't add up either. Maybe she's a back up in case Mr. Nelson drops out or something but even that seems underselling herself.

I don't know what to make of it but I won't admit defeat yet. On the ropes though.

"When you're doing the deals, particularly with the bigger bands, and they say they're coming over to do a big show, or event, or something, that they're getting paid lots of money for. Quite often, they will just want to announce that first, just so they can sell tickets, and we've already sold out. It makes sense then, and works for everyone, to hold off announcing anything until spring."

I know an act whose just sold out Hyde Park ...

That does have a whiff of swift about it

[Filthy]

That does have a whiff of swift about it

Could equally apply to Blur though

[Little Andy]

But Emily also emphasised how they've done well in keeping the acts secret, and not rumoured. Taylor doesn't fit into this.

Only acts rumoured after this interview were held such as Kanye and maybe Blur fit into this. Or acts still not rumoured.

[A Guy Called Matt]

That does have a whiff of swift about it

But she then says that nobody has guessed and TS I am pretty sure has been guessed rather a lot.

[Lubic]

Enjoyed the interview, cheers!

Not holding my breath for any of my favourite acts headlining, but have to admit that the secrecy, and the fact that the lineup is seemingly pretty much sorted, is quite exciting.

Unsurprisingly, Scott and me have had loads of convos about those lines.

His take, from being the person sat in front of her at the time she said those words, is that they're general words about the process and not about anything specific.

But it couldn't be about Blur, as they don't have to "come over", and it couldn't be Taylor Swift as she's not a "band".

Great interview, big thanks to Scottie and Neil

Couldn't it be Foos she's talking about? Stadium shows sold well and waited a while to announce them

[Justiceforcedave]

Obviously ELO.....*crosses fingers*

[The Nal]

Talk of female artists. Which obviously means that Patti Smith is booked.
