Interview on XFM right now -
When asked if playing  - Thom instantly said "No" while Ed ummed and ah'ed, saying they couldn't really say.
Thom said what normally happens is ME usually announces they're playing and they go along with it, but "he hasn't really said it this year, so no. Probably not"
Ed then said "Are we digging a hole here?" (Positive? Trying to keep it secret or am I just looking for the shred of optimism?)
Then they both concurred: "Don't bank on it - don't rely on us playing. No"

Shut it sarky arse. It's more info than anyone knows on here thus far. So again, shut it.

Ive always said it is extreamly unlikely given they have to get from Glasgow to Manchester inbetween there the Saturday night. They may still be contemplating it though, or at least Thom is.

I would say thats more of a yes than a no

Radiohead "probably not" playing Glastonbury

Oh thank God!

They're leaving the door well open IMO. Plenty of scope there for things to change in favour of  RH playing, I'd say.

Oh well.

Let's hope Robert Plant has the goodwill to do the same

Blimey! Leave your sense of humour at the door did we?

Chill out dude!!!

[Cardboard Box City]

Finally! Some good news about the lineup!

[iwalker]

I do get the impression Radiohead and Coldplay more or less have an open invitation to come and headline.

[timespeedsup]

Confirmations for the likes of Radiohead and Led Zep only after ticket day please.......

(ie let Radiohead wind us up as much as they like, just don't go confirming until after 6/4/08)

blimey...
I think the point was that it doesn't say anything. So it's not really more than anyone knows, as it says nothing. It's not a dig at you...

Chris Martin said Glasto had had enough of Coldplay !

He was spot on with that !

Course it was being sarky. He was just trying to be smug, so deserves what he got. As do all purveyors of "SMUG" ©

That's what I thought when I read it, but then I really hoping they play.

Anyone heard any rumours about the Chili's playing? I heard last year they offered to do it for free but were turned down 'cos it was too late. surely that means they'll be a contender for this year, especially if he wants more kiddies going!

That's a pretty interesting suggestion actually - I've not heard it mentioned, but they can't do V or Leeds/Reading so soon surely and IoW's already sewn up. IF they did want to and they didn't want megabucks - who knows?

They're not fit to headline Glastonbury after their performance at Reading and Leeds.

Yeah I wouldn't welcome it - never seen em play well live, which s bizarre as they're almost like a supergroup talent wise...
