Emily Eavis interview in NME

[sjhande]

You’re right yeah, they’re both big industry tour monsters, would be too expensive for them to get the ball rolling for one gig only. It must take ages for them to get Beyonces arse into her pants. So not worth the effort for 90 minutes.

[dirty_dog]

Sure would be a job worth applying for tho..

[Festival Liam]

Gotta assume Beyonce won't headline ... that would be an awful headliner. Second to Coldplay should do her fine. They could pitch as "you'll be playing 1 slot above Shakira did", who in the UK she's a bit bigger than .. but not massively.

U2 / Coldplay / Pulp.

Not massively impressed with regards to the current favourite headliners, from a personal perspective.

U2 Stones Prince. Please

Subbing are AF, Pulp, Beyonce.

could be a coincidence with Emily Eavis saying they've just confirmed the 3rd headliner and The Rolling Stones announcing this on their Facebook page today.....

" Lot's of exciting stuff happening this year..... just popping in to say thanks to our 4 million or so Facebook friends - it's great having you along for the ride...."

[Guest blackcockerel]

Oooohhh now it's starting to look like the Stones to me!

[Zacko]

If they are playing, The Stones and U2 alone pretty much destroy any other headliners for festivals.

[jimmyt]

I am well aware that I shouldn't allow this to happen but having read the facebook comment I am officially excited! Damn me! I know better than this...

Could this be the sudden breaking through of news, an uncontrollable lid they have to announce officially the headliners soon!?

[nufc1978]

i actually do think the stones are gonna be there now sunday night headliner

[mike46]

If it is U2 and the Stones, with coldplay? as the other headliner along with the Libs/Chemical Brothers and Primal Scream on the Other Glastonbury looks to have already blown the others out the water!

[brain yolk!]

Wild horses couldn't drag me away from these boards at the moment!

Sorry for that awful, awful pun but I've been let down too many times by empty rumours for the Stones at Glasto...

think about it it has to be the stones, U2 and colplay are most definitely nailed on, and if it is prince instead of the stones then it is gonna be a real let down considering ME giving it all this '3 biggest bands in the world'. it just makes sense!!!

LETS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said months ago that a clued in chap told me among industry types the Stones/Glasto story was actually passé. Faites accomplis.

If they announce a show in the Phoenix park in Dublin this source will have proved to be correct.

[Beaver89]

She says they will announce them in spring.

..... when exactly is spring these days?

I'm letting myself get excited too. Must be said that any set of headliners that included U2 and The Rolling Stones really would be amongst the all-time huge line-ups (though, obviously, not to everyone's taste).

When you consider that Arctic Monkeys, Basement Jaxx, The Verve and Gorillaz have all been headliners in the last few years (two of those as replacements, in all fairness) it really does show a step-up in efforts. Personally I think getting Springsteen to do it in 2009 has a lot to do with this.
