alframsey Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Lets hope youre original info is correct then. The thought of this head wobbling gobshite whining away on the Pyramid Stage (as a headliner) is very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 radiohead playing would be incredible. i'd still be very happy with arctic monkeys but either would be great. just someone a bit current please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limpet Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm pretty certain that Radiohead have been in talks with Glasto after the collapse of the Reading/Leeds deal from the reaction I got when pressing someone on this rumour (who 'trust me' is in the know about the current state of affairs regarding the line-up). Whether anything gets sorted, we'll have to wait and see. I think Eavis said he had two headliners for the Saturday? so they could play before Springsteen. Im pretty sure that Mr Yorke is a huge fan of Neil young, so maybe a slot just before him might be on the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeventhOne Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I would've thought Neil Young would play before Radiohead tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedmills Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Then theyre not a headliner, theyre second last on the bill. A 4th headliner would mean music on the Thursday surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazeboy Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 If Radiohead were confirmed after Neil Young then theres no way they would bump him down a slot. Since Michael Eavis said 2 headliners for Saturday (and that one of those wasn't confirmed yet), and presumably Neil Young is set in his Friday slot then it means Radiohead (or whoever the 4th act is) will be playing before Springsteen. Since Michael Eavis said that the mystery 4th one was a 'really good one' then I doubt he'd be on about the relatively young Arctic Monkeys. Assuming Oasis weren't bluffing us when they said they hated playing Glasto, then I reckon its Radiohead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedmills Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Neil Young would have been set in his friday slot ages ago. There's no way Glastonbury would risk pissing him off by telling him he has to play second fiddle to a band who have only just decided they want to play.

eFestivals Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Just after Glasto 2008, Michael Eavis said he had 4 possible headliners. Obviously that was many months ago and the 4 he were talking about were different, but there's surely a decent chance they are the same 4 as now? nah. If that was the case they'd all of been signed and sealed months ago. None were signed & sealed before xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's all sorts of different ways of evaluating the 'worth' of an act, and on some basis' AMs rate above all of NY, BS, Blur & Radiohead.

pedmills Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Okay well I just did a search for quotes of Michael Eavis liking Arctic Monkeys and he's called them fantastic etc so I guess he might refer to them as a really good one.

*Luckyman* Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I really do hope Radiohead or Arctic Monkeys are there as I'm not that fussed by the other 3 rumoured headline acts. If the other 3 are nailed on though then couldn't the 4th act just be either Kanye West or Franz Fredinand?? In no way do I consider them to be headline material but both have headlined other festivals and maybe M.Eavis considers them to be too.

Stuster Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've no idea how in touch Eavis is when it comes to rumours with regards to his claim of nobody having mentioned the mystical 4th headliner but I'M A DESPERATE SPAMMER in most of there posts regarding glastonbury for months and months have claimed it to be Radiohead. Or are they just generally ignored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eavis has said that Kanye wouldn't be a headliner on the Pyramid. Franz are defo playing, but I'm pretty sure they'll be an Other Stage headliner.

TheSeventhOne Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Since when have young people not liked Radiohead? Also by the looks of it Franz Ferdinand, Keane and Kanye West are going to be there anyway, so that'll offsett Young and Springsteen.
