End of Year Chat With Emily

[zahidf]

Absolutely no way Elbow could headline. Nowhere near big enough surely.

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

Guy Garvey has already said that they are not playing any festivals next year.

[Wooderson]

Well Muse haven't been confirmed, it was more of source so they could still be one of the 3 options for Sunday or indeed not a headliner on the pyramid at all.

[kaisherz]

Muse will only play one of the headline slots, as theyd want it dark and top of the bill on that stage at least. But I also can't see someone like Bellamy saying yea, ok, we've headlined the pyramid before so we wouldnt mind being on the other stage headlining.

Im going back against everything that I said before, and I think muse will be on the Pyramid, Saturday night.

[LondonTom]

If Emily was talking about Muse when she said "the Saturday is confirmed" what would have stopped her announcing it? Doesnt make sense to keep stum bout a band that speculation is rife about and have dates next year anyway.

My thoughts are that the Sat has got to be either the Stones (hope not) or the Zepp (i'll die a happy man etc) as U2 would be the Sat headliner unless someone bigger than them was also in the mixer.

Happy Chrimble!

[Wooderson]

I didn't say they would headline Saturday at all, I really doubt it but I would live it if they did. I was correcting someone else about it being Muse, and your right there wouldn't really be anything in theory stoping them from announcing Muse apart from maybe they have a PR schedule in getting people to pay off deposits(People more likely to wait til pay dad after Christmas, pure speculcation) which is why I doubt they are headlining the pyramid.

[Okky]

Personally I love that lineup, not sure if Muse would be ok with going under Rage but it would be awesome if it did happen. Foo's then Zeppelin would be awesome and gotta have love for the Pixes.

[LondonTom]

I was agreeing with you guv.

[dan05delaney]

but i have a strange feeling that it could be

Fri- muse - U2

Sat- Foo's -Led Zepplin

Sun- not got a clue

[Paul ™]

Levellers for sunday!

[dan05delaney]

Levellers for sunday!

[srvman]

Im young I like the levellers, my girlfriend is younger than me and she likes the levellers, most young people like the levellers...they just dont know it yet.

[Okky]

I'm 19 I like the levs, beautiful days was awesome!

[Zacko]

Well seeing as rage are muse's fave band im sure they wouldn't mind. They said they would love to support them before. And seeing as Zep are grohls fave band I don't think he would mind

[Insomaniac]

I can't believe the amount of people in this thread who seem to think Rage (as they seem to be called these days) are serious contenders for Sunday headliners. Is this on the back of them being Christmas No 1? Seem an unlikely choice to me, can't even see them in the lineup at all to be honest.

If they did play they would headline (I assume), whether they will or not is an entirely different matter. They might be in the country around the same time and they have played before so I suppose it could happen but I very much doubt it. Eavis probably see's them as "too heavy" these days.

http://www.musewiki.org/Rage_Against_the_Machine - Just read that about Muse loving them. For some reason I always forget bands can like other bands...doh.

[fantomas]

[alframsey]

I honestly think if MUSE are to play then they'd be on before U2 based on this interview, esp the part where she says "bands that are much bigger than where they are playing". Im so excited!

[thetashkentterror]

Yes. The game on the Wednesday night will definitely be showing on the Pyramid Stage screens.

[Wooderson]

U2 are on the friday as they have to be in the states on the weekend, think it's no more than the U2 schedule behind them playing when they are.

Oh yeah, happy christmas folks!

[dan05delaney]

Werent the U2 tour dates based around the Glasto date though? The festival has never had the biggest band of the weekend on the Friday before AFAIK.

[Wooderson]

yeah they only announced the additional american date just b4 they were anounced for glasto... hence making sure the contract was signed... seald... and delivered b4 anouncing more dates as they may of been able to squeeze more US dates in...

i think that makes sence... i blame the drink if it doesn't
