Michael Eavis has confirmed 2011 headline acts

[eFestivals]

I think there must be at least a slight chance. Weller said there was never any chance of reconciliation, then him and Bruce Foxton got back on speaking terms due to deaths in each persons families. One of the golden rules was never to mention The Jam, this was something Foxton said in an interview after they got back on speaking terms. After being on speaking terms for a while Weller invited Foxton to play bass on tracks on wake up the nation then invited him up on stage earlier this year at a gig to play a few Jam songs. Theres footage of it on youtube and the crowd reaction was unbelievable, you cant tell me after the reaction to that gig they havent spoken about it.

I was talking about Talking Heads when I said "it's never going to happen".

Just throwing it out there, but what about Green Day for headlining on the Sunday as they fit in being American. Aren't sure if they've played before though......

Does today's statement pretty much rule out Prince and Madonna, as he's said that they've got bands booked, not acts

[sifi]

Nope, there's nothing clouding my judgement - they were named as that by a poll that 6music did a while back.

[swede]

Over Zeppelin? Or Floyd?

Madness.

[eFestivals]

Madness.

It might well have been made with those ruled out by their respective member's deaths, I dunno.

I think you'll find Madness are currently touring

So theyve booked the 3 biggest BANDS to headline, yet the sunday headliner is an American SOLO artist?

Bless Michael Eavis, he don't half make stuff up sometimes

who's said the Sunday headliner is a solo artist?

[sisco]

[Pinhead]

I'm only going to worry about all this *IF* I manage get a ticket . . .

[Budweiser]

Metallica

Please.

Think it was mentioned a while ago that the Sunday was an american female artist.

[eFestivals]

Nope. It was American but female was from a few people thinking Eavis said "trying to get HER". There was confusion as to what he said and it appears he may well not have said "her" if it's a band.

he has been quoted (was it at the end of this year's fest? I forget) tho as having said something about one of the headliners for next year being a female, which has been a part of what's been in the mix with the eFestivals considerations of who the acts might be.

But on Friday he denied to us that he'd ever said that.

[VCK]

Weren't the headliners for 2010 supposed to be the "biggest bands in the world"?

As per usual, take what Eavis says with a pinch of salt.

While he's never going to say "they're average" () and he does say that every time....

Emily agreed with that part of what Michael had told us, while responding differently to and perhaps contradicting almost all the other things he'd said. We also made Michael laugh by saying "you always say that", to which he said something like "but they really are".

So perhaps, this time there's more substance to it (and of course it's all subjective anyway). Or Emily has got that part of the family business down to a tee.

U2 and Muse are undoubtedly two of the biggest bands in the world.

[Furious-Red]

As someone said what about the Foo Fighters? Will have a new album out next year and are a great live and festival band?

[she bangs the drums]

Though Foo Fighters aren't anywhere near the biggest band in the world, they are very popular, probably as popular as say Muse but if we are talking the biggest bands then AC/DC, Led Zep, Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd are all much bigger.
