Madness!

[Pinhead]

Confirmed by press release from the bands new record label USM at MIDEM trade fair in Cannes. 100% corroborated - do not know which Stage; hope for Pyramid afternoon slot.

[Tugger2k]

Wonder how it will affect Madstock London Victoria Park 17th July afterwards.

dont think it will have any impact.

madness fans are nutters for the band, and this is the anniversary gig - im certainly looking into going to both (glasto already booked of course)

amazin

really wanting to see them again after 07. hopefully itll not be on pyramid or other. nice tent would do

[darrenbha]

Reckon it'll be pyramid unless they headline jazzworld. I'll probably do madstock as well

Was indeed LV on 2007 and was rammed. Indications so far are that its a headline slot.

wasnt 07 on the thursday lost vagueness? i tried to get up there but they closed the field there were so many people.

sunday in the sunshine on the pyramid will do me fine

Jazz would be a good bet

[eFestivals]

they were due to play the Pyramid a couple of years ago when they played, but due to a couple of factors it couldn't happen in the end.

I'd be surprised to see them anywhere but the Pyramid - there's few bands who have such wide appeal, and there's few people who don't know all their songs.

[culley]

awesome news.

do any of you think they will be the fourth (and second english) headliner?

[eFestivals]

it's possible that this is all based on a fake - that's certainly the word coming from Madness' people.

Brilliant, if true.

[eFestivals]

arse, arse, arse

perfect sunday pyramid stuff, i will gutted if they dont play

eFestivals first rumoured Madness for Glasto in late October, from someone telling us that Suggs said on Richard & Judy that they'd be playing.

So while whatever is "out there" about them playing Glasto in the supposed press release might well be a fake (like I say, that's what Madness' people are saying), I still think they're quite possibly going to be playing.

am now in the position to check out whether or not this info is duff or not (I suspect it's not), but can't check things until tomorrow because people have gone home. Will let you know. :-)

so does that mean if its true you can say yes they are on? if so does that mean if you find out others you will let us know?

I don't know what I'll be able to let you know about until I'm able to see what I can find out.

But seeing that Suggs has apparently already announced them as playing Glasto on national TV, I reckon that can be taken as a given.

[strudders]

All seems to be getting a little "leaky" now with bands self announcing!

Wonder who will be next.

It would be great Sunday with them playing!

Seeing them in Lost Vagueness in '07 was one of my top 10 Glastonbury moments. We were in the Casino when the set started and wandered into the tent. Only thing that would have made it better was all the people on outside the tent being inside.
