The Bryan Adams suggestion I don't think will happen - he's been touring with his Bares Bones acoustic setup and not his band - which is more small venue / intimate aimed than big arena.

I thought possibly Motley Crue but they'd never sub Bon Jovi would they? What about FX or RATT?

I also still think with the big celebration factor they need to bring either Clapton or Townsend - they were responsible for the guitar part of Hard Rock Cafe! Also I could see Brian May putting in an appearance (which would be awesome).

Still want the Foo Fighters though but then I'm greedy ;-)

Bares Bones tour will end over the the beginning of the year. Bryan Adams have sheculed a new summer tour already (big arenas/stadiums/festivals). Concerts for UK are expected in the end of June, Belfast is now confirmed for 24th June. I'd say there's high chance he might be booked for Hard Rock Calling.

The Eagles have an European tour confirmed for the summer. First dates will be announced soon...I guess they are another strong suggestion.

My bets are for The Eagles on 25th june and Bryan Adamas on the 26th. This line up would fit me well.

TBH listening to The Eagles would be great but aren't Bon Jovi playing 25th? Can't see them subheadlining so possible Friday? Would love to hear Joe Walsh do Life of Illusion live too.

They'd also fit as Glasto are supposedly playing an American band Eavis has loved for years...

I'm pretty sure that Glastonbury don't have Eagles - Michael has said they wanted £2M.

Thanks for the info, hope we get them then

I'm looking to Hop Farm this year if it turns out to be Bon Jovi/Bryan Adams...

I like The Eagles a lot, and they're pretty good live (apart from the fact you just know they hate each others guts) but the other 2 I can pass on.

[Hurricane11]

I really really dont hope Bryan Adams and The Eagles are the last headliners. Come on, its their anniversary, they can do better than that

The Eagles confirmed one show on 23th june in Berlin and another one on 26th june in Munich. Now I think we can rule them out

Does anyone know if the Prince rumour is likely to be true?

Also, what about a younger band for a headline slot like Muse, Soundgarden or even someone like Coldplay?

Could it be u2 if there's not another leg of their own tour? They're pretty certain to be Glasto so they'd be around?

Van Halen maybe?

[tricky106]

Does anyone have any news on who else may play?

Looks like Soundgarden are playing Download.

I have seen Bryan Adams and The Eagles rumored on another website but I think The Eagles are in Germany that weekend.

Maybe Van Halen if they tour this year or possibly R.E.M?

The Black Crowes would have been super special as Friday night headliners but they're over here in mid July for 3 dates so doubt that will happen. I wish more announcements would be made cause it doesn't take long to start loosing interest.

[booties]

My guesses are

Friday/Coldplay

Sunday/Prince

and REM for The Hop Farm

[staffsknot]

The problem is the longer they leave it the more likely everyone will be booked up for other gigs / festivals. Not just the acts either, cash is likely to be tight and chuck in hotel costs and Hard Rock Calling needs to pull its finger out!

I heard a rumour REM might be over for the summer festivals but who knows.
