A colleague of mine saw Adele last week on her tour and said that Adele told the crowd she wasn't doing Glastonbury.

I realise that this means little as it could easily be a red herring but still... Its hope.

Cue the madness of revisited, rampant, wishful speculation. Weird that she told thousands of people this and yet not one "news" source that has been trying to guess the third headliner has picked up on it.

Won't let me post in this thread without quoting this post for some reason. A mate just sent me this clip though, don't know which way to take that..

The more i listen to that the more it sounds like she's telling a porky

[Brave Sir Robin]

She doesn't say "I'm not doing it". She says "I don't know if I could do it". Which has been the line she's peddled since the start.

See page 578 (and a few more) on this here thread. The geyser who made the video is a seldom see eFester.

As we will soon be in mid March do you think it's squeaky bum time trying to get the acts signed on the dotted or it's all sorted and no one is blabbing ?

I was never one of the proponents of the "Adele subbing Radiohead" idea, but I had almost been persueded that it was a possibility for a while.

It's not.  

I suppose in theory, any act could do a secret set, but as far as I'm concerned there is 0% chance Adele will play any announced slot other than headlining. And a secret set makes no sense to me either.

I hadn't even realised there was an "Adele subbing Radiohead" theory.

With you on the announced slot idea, but I don't think a secret set, or even a guest slot, is totally out of the question.

Hadn't Glasto been warned against secret sets by the council for Health and Safety reasons in their post festival report ?

One's that pose a health and safety risk yeah, which is probably why the Other opener became a thing, although I suppose they still have stuff like Bastille playing in WH which I hear got fucking mental last year. Easier and safer to do it in a tent than at the Park with everybody falling down the slope though I guess

You've forgotten the daftest and most persistent - Adele, the most successful recording artist in many, many years is playing, but thinks her music is too boring for a headlining slot, so she's going to sub. Despite her arena shows making massive use of darkness.

[TomViolence]

Didn't someone say Pink might headline the other day?

See my almost immediate edit, Stu!

Nothing will ever top the Chris Martin supergroup idea of last year.

Wasn't it said that Gwen Stefani would be involved as well? Complete bonkers.
