I think Emily has made a huge mistake telling us there is a massive secret and then leaving it so long to say what it is.... the speculation is getting daft and it's going to end up a massive disappointment more than likely as the ideas get larger and larger. Bit like setting yourself up got a fall 

And with that, I'm now setting myself up for The Fall. If they subbed before Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl would shit himself I reckon.

Better yet, The KLF and The Fall b2b set on a dual Other stage. All weekend.

Ah hey....that's one of the best.

IIRC he's actually been playing it recently anyway, after claiming he wrote most of it.

Though [citation needed]

I think this is going to be Patrick Topping

The new area is going to be the Patrick Topping Big Top, featuring nothing but our man, 8 hours a day.

I'd rather he did a greatest hits and finished with a little help from my friends. 

He can even being on Chris Martin for me as long as some of the more well known songs are on the list

But it's lady gaga anyway

That refuses to do any Beatles songs.

A mate on site has just told me that the big surprise is that EVERYTHING released so far has been fake news ! 

In actual fact The KLF are going to play on every stage on every day for the entire duration of the festival !

I can't help but agree with lots of people that this big secret may all be a bit of an anti-climax. I hope to be proved wrong.

If i was a betting man I would lean more towards a new area rather than a surprise artist. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out.

Perhaps Emily really has pulled one out of the bag this time and booked one of the most talented performers in the music industry 

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If not, I'd still be satisfied with a hologram of Ronnie Romero.

If we all just agree that it's probably going to be a massive anti-climax then we'll either be pleasantly surprised if it's something amazing or we'll be prepared for the disappointment if it's not. It's a win-win strategy.

Get out of here with that negative shit. What we should be doing is heightening our expectations. 

Personally I ait gonna be happy unless its a new stage and the line-up is the following:

Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd

The Beatles - Paul and Ringo live with John and George as Holograms

Butthole Surfers

Guns and Roses

Hologram Krist Novoselic

Robert Johnson - back from the dead, Satan can send him up for the day and we'll give him Chris Martin in exchange

Elbow

We are on page 155 with less than 4 weeks until the festival. I think it's a bit late for "let's not get our hopes up too much" 

[Heather90]

And while we are on holograms again did anyone mention Elvis? Apparently he's on tour with it finishing recently

Why does a hologram need to tour?

With live philharmonic orchestra and special appearance from Priscilla apparently 

[One Tonne Baby]

Harry Styles?

What's the hologram up to on the Sunday?

A work colleague has just told me The Kinks have been announced for the BBC Proms in the Park.

Cant find confirmation online but do you think Glastonbury might be contractually held back by the BBC from announcing The Kinks until the BBC have ?
