Well, i know this may be a bit controversial (and gay, but as i am a homo then thats fitting) but i think that they should ask Kylie to fill Bono's slot! She had to unfortunately cancel due to ilness, so she should feel Bono's pain, and she has been quoted as sayin that she would like to appear at a uk festival this year in the papers recently! PERFECT!!! Now get it dealt with Mr Eavis!!!!

Prince is by far the best option and with him being in Europe (apparently - there is still NO official announcement from Prince that he is doing the three European shows between 4th-10th July).

I still cannot see it, but if he does - I'll be beyond excited.

He's (again apparently) signed up to Roskilde so that kind of goes totally against the anti-recording / photo's policy of Prince - there is no way he can monitor it at a festival.

Everyone talking of Bowie and Led Zep... IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! They would have been booked in a flash, if they could play, for the original line up.

It's gonna be:

Dizzee Rascal

Flaming lips

Faithless

Coldplay

Radiohead or

Chemical bros.

Thats my guess for order of likelyness too.

RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!!

they are playing a couple of weeks so they will be nice and warmed up, hopefully they won't have some shitty exclusivity clause in their contract with download. I think if Micheal Eveis is in in charge then they would book them but Emily has rubbish generic pop, x factor taste so she will want Kylie :-(

Please god not coldplay, wtf have they produced of merit recently (or ever).

faithless would be good headliners but chemical bros would better.

I think you'll strggle to find many people that would not want to see rage, the same could not be said of kylie, bowie, coldplay etc...

Surely the ideas of pushing everyone up one or moving someone from another day/stage and then getting someone new in towards the bottom of the line up is a bit of a cop-out considering that U2 were probably the highest paid artist at the festival.

We pay the money for tickets to fund the lineup - basically what a festival is, is a huge number of people giving a huge amount of money to one person who then uses that money to try to book a lot of artists to play - it is the expectation of the paying people that most (as much as is possible) of their money is used to book artists. As we assume that the money that was going to be paid to u2 was within the budget for booking artists surely they should try their best to re-use that money to book another big act - even if they want to move Faithless to be the friday headliner - they've not really got any excuses to find a new artist to fill Faithless slot - you could probably get 2 second headliners for the money they were going to pay U2 so I don't think it would be too much of an ask for them to use part of that money to get one more quality act in towards the top of the lineup.

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
    • Taxi mafia running their usual scam.
