"Big, last minute changes..."

[Wooderson]

Neil, can you elaborate for us if poss?

We're finalising all of the bookings. We're nearly there now, although we've had some big last minute changes. Something really exciting came through yesterday, actually. We've got some really exciting people who we never dreamt we'd have at Glastonbury.

Fair play etc.

Hope this isn't the rumour on the boards about Neil Young not playing

[Wooderson]

Last minute changes would imply to me something nearly agreed that didnt work out.

[popcornmaster]

hoping its Depeche mode after the Sun 'Confirmed' them

back on as a rumour here (last time i checked)

would certainly make my festival

[deegs]

Could be the White Stripes!

[darrenbha]

Michael eavis did suggest that blur weren't completely signed and sealed but this statement suggests an unexpected extra

[hogga]

Maybe they're relocating the festival to India to save on costs.

[darrenbha]

Glasto on an indian beach. Nice idea hogga

[crimsonking]

Neil young out, Led Zeppelin in, or was that a dream I had.

[eFestivals]

Last minute changes would imply to me something nearly agreed that didnt work out.

I'd say the opposite - that it's something new that's been agreed.

Get the tartan scarves out - roll up the trousers - its the Bay City Rollers!

That doesn't say White Stripes to me, it says someone who hasn't ever been to Glastonbury before.

Kraftwerk? Since they are playing Bestival they might take a spot on the Other Stage headline?

[airds]

Come on Radiohead fans, you seem to be slacking, 14 posts in this thread a not one mention

[YouWhat]

[barney73]

My money's on Depeche Mode especially with all the rumours going round the press yesterday. And they haven't played whereas White Stripes have. Could imagine it is something special they have been trying to sort out for a while!

[coolethan]

Why did the Radiohead rumours die? They are one of the best live bands ever and seeing as Glastonbury is the best live venue ever 1+1 = magic.

I kind of expected them to be there this year after Thom Yorkes misquoted rambling about the festival not being good for the enviroment (even though he didn't say it - people thought he did so... there's a point in there somewhere)

"We've got some really exciting people who we never dreamt we'd have at Glastonbury."

Radiohead have already done glasto. emily says they are expecting someone they didn't expect to ever play.

[alframsey]

Pink Floyd??? Now im not really thinking this could be true, but you never know! However, i think there is zero chance of this

[Tugger2k]

But he said he'd never had dreamt of them playing Glasto, the Stripes already have.
