new Springsteen 'rumour'

[Wooderson]

He phoned that gig in chief. The man couldnt give a f**k anymore. Compare that to some of his late 60s/early 70s stuff. Brown Eyed Girl and Gloria both sounded God awful.

[elfimaju]

I thought it was pretty good. And I'm not the Van geek like you are you sarky piece of shit.

[Wooderson]

well, it's in The Sun... here

so it's probably not true then

[Wooderson]

...

just saw it on the news on the round up of the days papers...

NOT a Sun reader... ooooh noooo

[fuzzylogic]

Word reaches eFestivals from one of our regular very good sources that Bruce is almost definitely the Saturday headliner.

Also, that Blur will be the Sunday headliner providing that they all stay as bessie mates again for a while longer, but that they'll be no Radiohead.

More info if/when we have it.

[alframsey]

What? Have I missed something, is there ging to be music for the full 5 days this year?

[alframsey]

Also, i would be very very happy if The Boss is at Glastonbury next year, it would be the best ever Glasto!

[fuzzylogic]

What makes you think this?

[ferraristu]

Have just cancelled a weekend at the British Grand Prix and booked two tickets for Glastonbury, on the back of the article in the Guardian today about Bruce at Glastonbury

Have always wanted to do Glastonbury - and now I am

Have seen bruce about 15 times - Live, he is stunning !!!!

Cant wait - Glasto newbie ready & waiting.

And even if the rumour turns out to be wrong - I am made up I am finally going.

Thats the spirit! You won't believe how amazing it is mate. Bruce or no Bruce.

[Wooderson]

Aye !

Coverdale or No Coverdale , I will be happy

[ivan]

I'll be gutted if lion-man himself doesnt turn up.

[Derby_Dave]

I'll be elsewhere when Blur are on. Woefully average band.

[Wooderson]

If you find anywhere good let me know I need to be as far away from the Boss as I can get.

[scudetto_boy]

the new Springsteen rumour...can Neil (or anyone) give us some background to where this came up? I see that it seems it might be an Isle of Wight vs. Glastonbury thing, one or the other...

It would be marvelous to have the Boss at Glastonbury, Sunday night to close things out, but I just don't want to get needlessly excited about it. It could make sense in that having a new record out so quickly (Jan, 09) and touring again might mean he would want to try to do something different when he hits the UK in the Summer, rather than the same old stadiums (although he hasn't played Wembley since '88) . Would be gutted if he did IOW instead of Glastonbury. Would be gutted if we find out soon that there is no substance to the rumour though. No mention of it at all on www.backstreets.com, and they were quick to refute the Springsteen Glasto rumours from a few years back.

but, if true, this could be an incredible Glastonbury as far as headliners go....

Fri - Blur

Sat - Radiohead

Sun - Springsteen and the E Street Band (preceded by 'special guests' Neil Young)

[mdp963]

He is a miserable aul codger, but that show was vintage stuff. He finished with Brown Eyed Girl and Gloria. Animal! And in glorious sunshine too... a great day.

[mdp963]

Whatever the debate about aged acts etc etc there is ABSOLUTELY no doubt in my mind that Bruce Springsteen is categorically one of the best outdoor live acts in the world ...... ever and therefore he will totally suit Glastonbury

These days Neil Young can be a bit hit and miss but is worth a chance

I am not too familiar with the music of Blur ( just one of those things) - but hey what a great chance to see and listen to something new ( to me)

[SJ121]

If you're not familiar with Springsteen then here are a few songs that are my personal favs and show that the man really can play guitar which most people seem to think that he cant, Crank em up
