Perhaps because they wanted to be kept off it.

But also, perhaps, because it would take a bit of the Adele thunder. It doesn't seem unreasonable to hold it back.

Who knows if that's what they're doing tho? Not me.

Or maybe it wasn't set in stone for RH when the poster was released? Agreed upon, but a sub spot wasn't a complete priority when they have other headlining spots and their own gigs to still navigate around?

Or maybe it's K-Dot.

Ellie Gouldings website has Glastonbury Pyramid stage listed on 26 June. So she's definitely on there, at some time.

I seem to remember she or someone from her camp has already indicated she is subbing Coldplay.

Yeah I had some news literally months ago regarding her positioning, and now I think that info was probably right

I think they'd hold it back for the reasons Neil said - also the roundhouse gigs weren't announced when the first poster was out right?

IIRC, my mate was kicking off after she missed tickets to the Roundhouse, and said they must be the last Glastonbury headliner, because they wouldn't do fests all over and no UK fest with only small shows. Or maybe it was after she missed out on tickets to Prima or NOS or w/e, fests were announced before Adele confirmed anyway.

So radiohead tickets were announced and sold out before the lineup dropped

okay so that's my theory out of the window..

There's enough of us from here going to the Roundhouse on Friday to get everyone in the front row with t-shirts spelling out "THOM R U AT GLASTO?"

Actually there's so many us going we could probably spell "THE EFESTIVALS COMMUNITY REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW IF RADIOHEAD ARE PERFORMING AT GLASTONBURY 2016. PLEASE ADVISE."

Even then, imagine Radiohead not wanting to be announced on a lineup in case they don't sell <10,000 tickets in London. :P

If it's already confirmed by then that they're not subbing Adele, perhaps the eFests contingent can cheer themselves up by leading a rendition of Someone Like You as soon as Radiohead finish up.

Muse+Coldplay* not good enough for you?

*Yes, I'm aware that this comparison was far more apt about 15 years ago.

I think you're in a minority on here. Friday's clashes are so bad, that LCD on Sunday would be a dream for a lot of people.

(Shrugs) Not much that interests me on the Friday so far. Im sure there will be but at the minute LCD on Friday would be splendid, leaving me free for a bit of EW&F Sunday.

 

That said, as long as either are on the Sunday the big plus is having something Sunday evening to really look forward to. Makes a big difference to the energy levels on Sunday.

Has anyone allocated words/letters yet? I could wear the Ming from PERFORMING, if that helps.

Yep, there's nothing better than having one of your favourites to look forward to on the last night. You know that however good a time you are having at any point during the festival, that there is something even better still to come.

I guess the last time it happened for me was nick cave in 2013 (albeit he was 2nd top). Though I was looking forward to massive attack the other year. Chems, not so much.

I thinks its been confirmed hes elsewhere that weekend. You might as well have put MJ on there. 

Kendrick is free that weekend. And he's possibly the second likeliest act to sub Adele after Radiohead as it stands.

And the other 1 was considered a massive disappointment when they played.

Really? I've only seen that from people who weren't overly familiar with The Libertines. They were never gonna give a polished performance, I thought they were brilliant and I seen a lot of positive reviews on here afterwards.

2/3 of that list were considered massive disappointments on here when they were announced.

As Jparx says, the original point wasn't related to that, it was about 'huge' acts which you can't deny they were.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
