REM?

[fullfathom5]

And if that's right about the Stones for last year, then I'm just about convinced that they'll be playing this year.

[Porcelina]

What night would the Stones be headlining then, Saturday? If so what would that mean for Coldplay?

[fullfathom5]

Ok then, based on the current rumours I'm gonna go for the following on the Pyramid:

Fri: U2 & REM

Sat: The Stones & Beyonce

Sun: Pulp & Beady Eye

whoaaaaa! That's me speculating, and I might well be adding two and two and getting five. I have no specific info about the stones, but it's a scenario that seems to fit. I could be WILDLY wrong.

But along with everything else, the way I see things, if they don't play this year they never will. And there's got to be some reason why they appear to be - unusually (it's very different to what they've been doing for years) - starting a tour in June.

[Porcelina]

Yeah I know it's only speculation, I just wasn't sure what level of confidence you had of Coldplay playing regardless, and it seems that they're as likely as Muse seemed this time last year.

from where I'm sat they're defo not as likely as Muse were at this time last year. I had what I knew to be 100% accurate info on Muse playing, and had published a story saying they were playing quite a while before xmas 2009. I've had nothing of substance about Coldplay for this year, and while there's lots of stories going around about them, there doesn't seem to be anything solid behind them - it just seems like the obvious guess, and while it might be right this year it's been wrong many times before.

Having said all of that, on a personal level I think they're probably going to play this year - but ultimately that's just a guess.

If they do play, then with all of the different possible scenarios for bands that might be headlining this year, then I can see situations where they might be playing but not headlining. But that's probably a lesser possibility.

[Porcelina]

I reckon the only thing we can assume is there's going to be more headlining sized bands than room for.

Looking forward to one or two acts being confirmed now - it's getting to that time.

nah, I don't think that's going to be the case. It's hard enough finding suitable bands, without blowing all the options in one year leaving nothing for years to come.

It's far more likely that the headliners aren't who some (perhaps me) are assuming.

[ivan]

I would like to say its been brilliant these last few years having new headliners

Bruce

Neil

Stevie

Kings

Jay - Z

None of which I saw actually , was busy elsewhere !

etc etc

and hopefully with U2 and maybe The Stones we can add a few more to the list , having been to every

Glasto since 1999 , it seems a cop out to go for the likes Radiohead and Coldplay and REM again , but I do accept if they are the only ones out there you have to put bums on seats and not have The View ( who I love ) headline.

[audio farm]

Pulp is one of those headliners, yes?

From no particular information, I'm assuming that they're not. But I could be wrong and they might be.

It's the dilemmas like that one which make it so hard to get a handle on who they have got this year.

[judyblue110]

I happen to know - because I've asked Emily about it - that the Stevie comment was 100% accurate at the time it was made. Stevie wasn't in the frame to play until sometime after she'd made that comment.

She was quite offended by the idea that everyone thought she'd been making misleading statements.

[LondonTom]

i know you didnt ask me but i cant see pulp headlining if theyre not headlining IOW...theyll surely be either supporting the headline or headline the other stage.

[Guest blackcockerel]

There's no way Pulp will he doing an early set. If they're not headlining Pyramid or Other they'll either be second to last on one of them, or at a push headlining a smaller stage. They've the John Peel connection, but I think there would be a hell of a crush on if they played there. It was bad enough in there when Jarvis headlined two years ago

[BlackHole2006]

But they're still playing, yes? If not headlining, would they be second down on the pyramid or headlining the other?

Not headlining equals daylight and an 11 song set

Can't imagine Jarvis being able to cut down on banter though, that's part of the appeal!

[Redwinevino]

Unless they do what Pavement did on their reformation which was minimal crowd banter but just chucking the tunes at you like theres no tommorow. That worked really well.

So happy I got to see Pavement last year.

I really hope not headlining means Pulp will not be there
