Updated rumours page

[MEGABOWL]

Eagles, Green Day.....just thinking of some big American band headliners for the Sunday

[MEGABOWL]

Maybe REM are the American Headliners they have been trying to get for a while?

[LusciousLucy]

...and no doubt some wild stabs in the dark at the Saturday night...

[duggie20]

i think after arcade fire at reading/leeds they may well be one of the acts along with u2 and kylie

[sisco]

Which I imagine might come from one of the thousands of non-Coldplay fans!!! Chris Martin and friends had better have some very good security next year!

I suppose that apart from the fact that the 3rd headliner is now (almost) booked, the other interesting thing about this news is pretty clear use of the word 'bands' rather than, say, 'artists'.

Mabe I'm reading too much into it but if correct, that would appear to rule out solo contenders that occasionally get mentioned / rumoured such as Madonna, Prince, Dylan, Bowie, Beyonce etc etc ??

Oh God it is all so depressing. Coldplay, U2 and Kylie? Are we really talking about Glastonbury here? Or is this the Glastonbury Townswomen's Guild Christmas party line up? I suppose if I saw Coldplay on the Friday it would put me into such a deep sleep I might with a bit of luck sleep through Kylie and U2. It's alright for you older festival goers but as a sprightly 55 year old I want something a bit more exciting than that for me £200.

It's defo not Kylie - at least, that's what I believe is the case, tho it's possible I'm wrong.

[gazza_20]

If it's 'defo not Kylie' how come she's on your rumours page as an 'SR'?

[eFestivals]

If it's 'defo not Kylie' how come she's on your rumours page as an 'SR'?

because I believe she's likely to be playing - but not headlining.

[eFestivals]

is it defo not Kylie at all playing? or just not headliner? cuz i never expected her aything but sub-headline anyway?

not headliner.

I think it's quite likely that she'll perform.

[gazza_20]

not headliner.

I think it's quite likely that she'll perform.

[eFestivals]

i thought some rumors update page was supposed to be updated

Nope.

It'll get updated when there's something worthwhile to update it with.

[gazza_20]

Nope.

It'll get updated when there's something worthwhile to update it with.

[eFestivals]

so the news was just the 3rd headliner is done?

yep, tho it's not really a 'just' - after all, it's still pretty big news even without a name for who it is.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Neil, are you able to say where the Jarvis rumour has come from?

[eFestivals]

Neil, are you able to say where the Jarvis rumour has come from?

can't remember for sure now, but it was very probably from something reported in the press such as him saying "I'll play next year", as it's only there as a rumour.

It's been listed here since the end of June.

We're trying to find the origin of it by searching thru our databases, and if we find it I'll post the full details here.

[Guest blackcockerel]

I think he mentioned being there on his radio show that very weekend, but at the time I took it to mean he'd be presenting his show from there or DJing like he did in the Park area this year. Not sure he has anything planned band-wise since they lost their guitarist but I might be wrong.
