The more I think about it, the harder it is to comprehend that Glasto could possibly pull off 3 better headline acts than they had for 2009! (this is personal opinion, of course). Neil Young is a living legend, and his set was fantastic. Bruce Springsteen (not my cup of tea, so was elsewhere when he was on) was a major (and exclusive?) coup for the festival. Then we had Blur, who at the time of announcement I wasn't overly fussed about - but that Sunday night closing set was top draw & very entertaining..

they need a Led Zep reunion to top it.. :P

Same here. At the very least it seems we'll get Plant but I think the whole business of him not saying who he's playing with etc lends a slight bit of credibility. It would be a major coup for the festival and hopefully it would be as brilliant as I imagine it to be.

The opening of Kashmir booming out across the Pyramid field....Dazed and Confused...Stairway to Heaven...

If Led Zep supposedly inspired Michael E. to organise the first Glastonbury, then performing at the 40th would dovetail nicely.

It also might tie in with the Foos playing... if that 'farmhouse meeting' they supposedly had with the Eavises is true - the Foo's have been on the rumours list for a loooong time, as long as Dylan.

So my prediction would be Muse, Foo Fighters and Led Zepp, with Elbow and Bob Dylan playing sunset slots.

But of course it's all armchair detective work!

I am not a huge Zep fan , but I thought that Percy had said Zep were dead and buried and the hunt

for another singer had nailed the coffin.

Also Dave Grohl said that apart from a few shows soon to support the release of their greatest hits

he had no idea when the Foo's would get back together , and he does have TCV to keep him busy. With

Glasto usually having the headliners nailed by Xmas I cannot see The Foo's being ready.

I don't always believe these 'we'll never reform' rumours... there's always the possibility that something could sway them to reform. It's happened with other bands in the past.

I also thought that Dave Grohl had a 'farm meeting' a while back with the Eavises? I'm sure the Eavises look to book at least some of the bands quite a while in advance, and the Foo Fighters rumour was one of the first up on eFests rumours page.

Like I said, it's all armchair detective work - but fun piecing the bits together! :P

    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
