.jay. Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Glastonbury festival say they have surprised even themselves with one of the big bookings for this year's event. http://www.nme.com/news/glastonbury/49967 i'm guessing Kings of Leon to play somewhere on the bill. DISCLAIMER:WARNING:DISCLAIMER:WARNING:DISCLAIMER:WARNING this could weel be a simpole case of Emily talking about a booking she previously spoke about in a prior interview on radio 6 where she spoke of a POP act being booked and as such this could be,....... A REPEAT THREAD!!! personally what with the amount of acts booked by the festival that it just may well be the case ANOTHER ACT CONFIRMED TO PLAY i know i know people it's shocking! but that could well be the case. lets go out on a limb and make guesses as to who it could be shall we?

eFestivals Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Glastonbury festival say they have surprised even themselves with one of the big bookings for this year's event. http://www.nme.com/news/glastonbury/49967 i'm guessing Kings of Leon to play somewhere on the bill. The story doesn't even say it's band, and the general feel I get from it is that it's not. But how the feck do you get from "something random" to thinking she's talking about KoL? They're about as unrandom as it's possible to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 the NME link has only just been added to the new section of their site and is an exclusive NME interview so why would that news appear elsewhere first. because it's from something now nearly 24 hours old, at an event that was full of journos from all so0rts of publications? it could be the same story, but my guess is it's seperate. My guess is that it's very definitely not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampersand Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think it has been mentioned on here before, maybe Peter Kay? Would be random yet exciting to see if comedy works on the pyramid stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.jay. Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Like I said, that thread was started before the NME link was found, perhaps someone at NME leaked the info, or maybe even Emily herself said something to someone - it happens. IMO the best thing to do before starting a thread is to do a search Edited February 25, 2010 by .jay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I'd take 'random' as meaning not touring or anything at the mo. Maybe a big act that's on a break or hasn't played any gigs in a while? If it's someone like Eminem who's touring around the time of Glasto and playing lots of other festivals, that's not random at all (and not really surprising either).

.jay. Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 lets just boil this down shall we. could this story be a seperate story from the one she was talking about on Radio 6 previously? yes it could. so lets have a bit of fun with it and make some guesses as to who it may be shall we? instead of all this anal argumentative nosense. so if this is HEAVEN FORBID! a totally unrelated story to the pop act story who do you think it could be?

godders1966 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 My guess is the Arctic Monkeys. They are fans of Glasto as punters and guests. Their current tour finished in the states in April and nothing else planned. They won best live act at NME aweards yesterday. I know they've headlined before and all this years' headline slots have gone but I recon they are not too 'up themselves' to accept a lower slot.

fowls Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 and there has been speak of bigger acts wanting to play further down the bill and even opening proceedings on the pyramid stage, PERHAPS this could be linked to that MAYBE, POSSIBLY, THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE I MAY NOT BE CORRECT AND COULD JUST BE TALKING OUT OF MY ARSE, or not?

.jay. Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Why are you getting so wound up by this? It sounds like you'll have gone postal by the time Glasto comes around... Edited February 25, 2010 by .jay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stf Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 see i take it as her meaning the confirmation was random and out of the blue and unexpected, more in that sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
