Michael Eavis has confirmed 2011 headline acts

[tevaburger]

In the meantime, I'll give a clue. The name 'Jack' comes into things somewhere, but perhaps not where you'd think.

[eFestivals]

after all that, it might not be Kylie after all. Word I've just had says Kylie is in London today, but it's one of those things where it's impossible to know if that's what they're wanting people to believe.

[eFestivals]

but we all really know it's really Prince on sunday

I'm very very unconvinced by the Prince guesses that people are making (this is aside from anything to do with what I think I might know).

Aside from anything else, I don't believe that Eavis would bother trying for him nowadays, having tried for him many times in the past and always been knocked back. Eavis had given up trying to get U2 on the same basis, that he'd become convinced it was never going to happen.

It's possible I guess that they tried again at the beginning of the year when they found themselves with a headline slot still to fill, but I'm far from convinced it's something that'll ever happen.

My guess is

U2

Radiohead/Coldplay

Kylie

[Jackmypie]

Hey everyone is saying my name, thanks guys

[Zacko]

I like that we finally have the tiniest scrap of a hint of a headliner rumour, even if none of us are going to get it.

[eFestivals]

So U2 then are pretty certain? theres still a Glasto sized hole in their tour dates.

Michael's stated publicly that he's asked them, and as you say there's an obvious gap in their dates.

So while I know nothing more than that, I'd say they're nailed on. The only thing I can see that might possibly throw it is if The Edge thought Glasto was shit when he played with Muse.

[HastingsBoy]

It's Fleetwood Mac as in "I'd rather Jack Than Fleetwood Mac" Reynolds Girls 1989!

F**k it! Foo Fighters- Jack Black's is in their video.

They're American. There's rumours Eavis has sounded them out for ages.

Go on, gotta be true

'Id rather JACK than Fleetwood Mac'

You heard it here first.

[Redwinevino]

Do you not think there's any chance of Prince approaching them, having got the 'outstnding payments' issue sorted out? He's in dire need of a credibility boost (I got better value from the 27 seconds of reading in the Daily Mirror than I did from the Prince album free with it) and Glastonbury's a great way to get it

anything is possible, but it seems to me that Prince is man who would prefer top dollar to any credibility boost (which he defo needs).

Joe Mceldberry to head Glasto 2011 Please!!

[eFestivals]

Not that it narrows it down much, but has anyone guessed the act since you mentioned the clue?

nope - I've been so obscure no one will get it.

I don't know. I think I might have sussed it tho, and am waiting to hear stuff back which will hopefully confirm or not whether what I'm thinking is right.

[NeilVJ]

I can't see both U2 and the Rolling Stones playing, it just seems too good to be true. Otherwise I'd have used the Jumping Jack Flash reference.

[eFestivals]

Really? Where'd you hear that?

I haven't - there's the possibility that he might have thought it shit and so not somewhere he'd want to play with U2, that's all.
