4 headliners too? I guess maybe he is including the other stage headliners too. Maybe a reference to franz ferdinand headlining the other stage?

Wowa wia!

Hmmmmmm ???

Bruce - US

Blur - UK

Young - Canadian (does that count as an Eavis US)

but who would be the 4th and a UK artist???

Its all very exciting..................

Coldplay before Bruce? Seeing as they've got their stadium tour already on sale would fit in with what ME was saying about their own shows.

he did seem to say English and they are Scottish so I'm not sure he was including them

Neil - are 6music normally reliable on tis sort of thing?

no real idea ..... but I suspect it could well be from something they got out of Eavis either off-the-record (tho as far as I know he doesn't do "off the record") or what they've pieced together from vague-ish things he said at the same time but which weren't of enough substance in themselves to be reported in the BBC article.

It will just be franz before blur. Trust.

Hope Not!!!!

The piece states 2 headliners for saturday which fits with the earlier double header comments. Not sure on arctics tho as didn't think they had anything on sale currently in uk.

Tis not all about making album sales. If I were in a big band I'd still play places for fun

[darrenbha]

Don't get me wrong. I think arctics would be a possible before bruce. Just trying to work out the fact and curveballs in eavis interview

Well if it's muse i will be well happy

[fullfathom5]

Or is he referring to the Kaiser Chiefs? I hope not!

[dannypal]

i would love for the arctics to play again

but i dont think they will, i think they will probably headline another festival cus they have still not headlined reading, V or IoW

im hoping that bands like kaisers, razorlight and franz are not in consideration - but i think it will be on of those

id personally love to see kasabian again
