I don't believe her. Why not announce opening acts then.Surely of they are small acts they would have been announced with the rest of the bands.

[sizzlefee]

!

[ivan]

If you look at the confirmations the Pyramid already has 7 or 8 acts each day.

I cannot see where they could fit a bit act in to open.

I think Rolf will be as big as it gets !!!!

[ampersand]

Or it could be simply red

[bluejeans10]

no, she's just playing on words.

that emily can be a funny one. they'll have someone brilliant lined up so don't panic.

and if not, well, i don't know what you could do?

sorry, i have no suggestions...

It has to be something special / surprising otherwise waiting to announce them would be pointless.

Thom wanted to open so he could enjoy the rest of his day, the selfish git, but they talked him into a later slot. Thom's starting a new trend by being the opener instead of the headliner because he's ultra uber cool!

[dan05delaney]

it has to be someone "half decent" other wise why not just announce them at the same time! they have to have something up their sleeves?? don't they

[Bort]

I wonder which headliner caliber act is the one playing later in the day. Also I think if the pyramid openers were big acts, they would be "special guests" and not just tba.

[sammysundae]

i wish they wouldn't do this so much. the line up is great. so why take the edge off it by making promises you're not going to keep. then letting everyone down on your twitter account.

seems silly really. ffs, she could have got away with saying there was two pyramid headliners on the sunday night if she wanted to.

its like the 40th anniversary thing.

doesn't she realise that everything she says gets talked about for hours, the least she could do is not talk bollocks half the time. especially when theres so much good stuff she could be legitimately hyping up

My money is now on

Rolf Harris

Thom Yorke/Atoms for Peace

Madness/Squeeze

[dan05delaney]

I think slightly bigger than normal but no where near what we was expecting!

[George Saguna]

It is a little funny when you think about it. The line up to Glasto has always been a surprise, just like last year when it was leaked out. This year it has been put there for us to take in from a long time, with one little difference TBA at the start of every day.

It can mean so many things, does no one want to be an opening act on the 40th year anniversary? or are the three of them big bands.

That would be really unusual, lets just say that we have some big head liners opening every day, such as Coldplay. There is no one that great on any other stage. That means that every one will have to wake up early to get to see such a good performance and every one will be in front of the Pyramid stage because there is no one of the same caliber on any other stage. Now that doesn't make much sens to me, and hopeful as I might be to see some other big name added to an all ready great line up, I seem to get to my senses that it might not be the case.

They might be very talented aspiring bands which will be hitting it big some time soon but I am pretty sure that we will not have three big bands. We might just have one big band opening up the event on friday but thats all

I didn't realise the opening act was such a big deal. Two Glastonbury's in and I haven't seen one opener ... perhaps I'm missing something?

[adamski]

Thats my point. Can you see a big band there on stage with out much of a crowed because every one is still pitching their tent or on the way.

[whisty]

Aren't there enough bands/artists playing already to concentrate on. What's the point of this speculation, give up thinking your most wanted band is one of the tba's and you're going to be a lot happier when th eslots are actually confirmed

[Langdale Wolf]

If the line-up hadn't been announced, people wouldn't be moaning about this.

They'd be moaning about the lack of updates on the line up.

They can't win.

[BonnetBird]

Someone like the Bootleg Beatles would be a good Pyramid opener.

However - regarding Emily's tweets - didn't she reply "Oh god no!" when someone asked if Stevie Wonder is playing?
