Memory Man I fear you may be correct. Rumour has it Daft Punk will tour 2010/2011 but given that they can get a lot more money elsewhere and have no real affinity or history at Glasto then seems unlikely they would be there. I would love to be wrong though saw them on Daftendirekt tour in 97 which was ace.

The first festival (of sorts was held in 19/09/1970, but it wasn't until 1971 that the festival was moved to coincide with the summer solstice, that there was a pyramid stage, and that it was called Glastonbury Fayre - so there is a very real and valid argument that 2011 is what a lot of people would consider the 'real' 40th anniversary of Glastonbury Festival.

taken from here:

"Andrew Kerr co-founded the Glastonbury Fayre in 1971 with Arabella Churchill, with the first ever line-up including David Bowie, Traffic and Fairport Convention. His new book, Intolerably Hip – The Memoirs of Andrew Kerr will be published in June 2011 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Fayre. Andrew writes with a light-handed touch that entertains and provides a credible portrait of the Glastonbury festival archive"

Page 14 of the official glastonbury programme (in 40 things to do) - "Number 39 - Think about next year:

It's the 40th anniversary of Glastonbury Fayre in 2011. In celebration there will be a retro pyramid stage with performers who played in '71 to coincide with 'Intolerably Hip', the memoirs of Andrew Kerr, co-founder of the festival"

Everyone's been so focused on 2010 being the big 4-0 for Glasto, but there's a definite possibility of 2011 being even bigger.....I'm a born and bred 'Zummerset Girl' and from the people I know 'behind the scenes' they confirmed the intention of 'retro-ing' the pyramid......so following on from that if you are looking at credible pyramid acts for 2011 that's where I get my possibility (however remote!!) that we might just see a Bowie set B)

Kylie

U2, if they want to, 3-4 warm up dates, no claw etc and then Glasto, easily done.

Radiohead

Unless Glasto grow a pair and book Metallica. They would destroy the Pyramid Stage. :)

Not suggesting they headline, but 2nd last on the Friday would be sweet! I dont think the average Glasto goer is familiar with Battery or Ride the Lightening. :unsure:

What ever happened to that plan of having headliners from previous years on other stages? There weren't THAT many this year and most of those that played are glastonbury regulars anyways e.g The Levellers, Orbital, Faithless

It would, imo be slightly odd for next year to be also celebrated as the 40th Anniversary because its generally accepted that 1995 was the 25th Anniversary and 2000 was the 'big' 30th with Bowie playing again.

I don't really count Radiohead as it was only really two of them. They would have never had the full band on the Park, if they would have though, i'd count them.

Kylie appeared, thats all she did.

Neither Keane nor Biffy are past headliners but fairly big bands although Biffy aren't really that big at all.

I didn't know about Jarv down at the Rabbit Hole though :P.

I got it wrong though, I thought Orbital had headlined the Pyramid.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
