[mike99]

i had an email through from glastonbury which said we shoud be getting a few acts soon. I remember seeing this on nme.com that mike eavis said he was an going to be an annoucement on 1st feb.

A spokesperson for Glastonbury has refused to comment on rumours that Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur are set to play at next year's festival.

Earlier today (December 12), gossip website Holy Moly published the rumours about the line-up, also suggesting that Kaiser Chiefs were set to play the bash.

Although the spokesperson said they had no comment about the specific rumours mentioned, they told NME.COM that an announcement regarding the line-up would be made on February 1, 2009.

The festival takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 26, 27 and 28 next summer. See Glastonburyfestivals.co.uk for ticket details.

But it looks like eFestivals might have already predicted the headliners again this year - so hopefully a few other names would be good in the announcement

[Tugger2k]

I think the e festivals rumours will prove pretty accurate !

TBH - It would always look a bit wierd if it turned out not to be

Springsteen

Neil Young

Blur

Kaisers

As a regular to Leeds and V , I usually find the rumours are spot on there as well ! , and I am

pretty confident that I already know the 3 Leeds headliners. But if they are not then it is

hardly a disaster is it ?

[ivan]

Agreed, efestivals has been pretty spot on since i started looking at the site 5 years ago so pretty confident that their correct - would just like a little more rumours to start appearing about the other stages.

by the way (and i know this should be posed in the reading/leeds bit) what do you think about the leeds headliners - as a regular reading goer as well im pretty happy about them!!

[mike99]

I would think we will start getting annoucements either this Monday the following or the first or second of feb

[DaveMac]

Hi

I am pleased with the rumours of

KOL , Radiohead and Arctics , although my mate wants more metal - Judas Priest to be precise !!!!

[mike99]

Can efestivals give us any idea if it will be sometime this week?

[mike99]

So its looking like tommorow or sometime this week for an official annoucement. I think all this talk bout artic monkeys playing is rubbish not so soon after they headlined more likely to be last shadow pups on other stage.
