Neil Young IS Playing

[kohoutec]

Why do you all think neil young is playing anyway?

Michael Eavis clearly said that 2 headliners were english and 2 were american

Niel young is canadian end of....

[Bort]

He was "confirmed" for Coachella for a while but apparently backed out and instead is doing some other festival a week later. I have a bad feeling the same is true here. WTF Neil?

[sdaveak47]

but its only been assumed he's headlining because well he's a big act, but so are fleetwood mac & crosby stills & nash and they're all down as strong rumours to play but aren't headlining.

as well as the 2 english 2 american comment i remeber mention of the friday night headliner being a heavier rockier act with more of an appeal to a younger crowd appearing with or without his band, i can only think that was a reference to Jack White (although the racounters aren't big enough to headline)

all the signs at the moment point to neil young playing but not headlining , which is amazing really.

[Bort]

Yeah, he was supposed to play Coachella, but not as a headliner, which I found odd.

[jasper in the rye]

i think the other american is the eagles as they are touring bet yer

[Pulpfan]

Scissor Sisters???

[LRW]

you my friend need to get a grip! he's only a musical artist/performer. Its not as if you havnt had/got many chances to see him live.

Just got tickets for Neil in Dublin on the Sunday before Glasto. If he still isn’t announced by then Ill have a word with him.

[eFestivals]

why would he play these two uk dates the week leading up to glastonbury if he wasn't intending to make the trip to worthy farm?

because he's going to be confirmed for the Saturday of Hard Rock Calling (tomorrow I think), which happens on Glasto weekend?

That of course doesn't rule him out of Glastonbury, but the fact he's playing gigs in the week before Glasto doesn't prove him for Glasto.

Is there any other way of getting a ticket for Dublin apart from Ticketmaster? I think they only accept credit cards and I only have a Maestro card, also it seems that you can't buy tickets direct from the venue.

Neil Young confirmed!!!!

Glastonbury organisers have today confirmed that Neil Young will be the third headline act at this year's festival, describing his inclusion in the lineup as a "dream come true".

Making official the rumours that the 63-year-old musician would be playing Worthy farm this summer, Glastonbury festival organiser Michael Eavis said: "Neil Young to play this year is a dream come true for me personally. He is one of my all-time favourites and we have always wanted him to play."

In a marked departure from last year's headline act, rapper Jay-Z, Young completes the trio of headliners alongside Bruce Springsteen and the recently reunited Blur. "With Neil on the bill we are close to completing our best ever lineup," Eavis added.

Organisers also announced that Seattle folk group Fleet Foxes will be performing at this year's festival, which takes place in Somerset between 24-28 June 2009. Franz Ferdinand took it upon themselves to confirm their own appearance at Glastonbury 2009 last month.

But it is Young's appearance that has caused the most excitement in Pilton, with Eavis saying: "We give it a go and every year people come to the festival and ask the same question: When is Neil Young playing? So this is big news for us. I've seen him play many times over the years but I think he's better than ever at the moment, it's one hell of a show."

Tickets for Glastonbury festival have now sold out, however, there will be a resale of a limited number of cancelled tickets on 5 April. The Guardian is the official media sponsor of Glastonbury festival. For more information, go to the Glastonbury website.
