Emily Eavis interview in NME

[The Nal]

True facts.

As some wag said when their tour bus caught fire recently, "Did it start out as a small exciting fire and turn in a massive boring one?"

[Toilet Duck]

just remembered, I didn't see The Killers...

can't stand 'em

[eFestivals]

You wouldn't have been able to hear them even if you did!...I wandered through a stayed for one song. Could only hear folk around me singing and barely a peep from the band onstage.

maybe Eavis realised his mistake in booking them, and had them turned down deliberately?

[eFestivals]

Neil & Lea Run it, they were very helpful to us for the football, and have very good contacts within the festival

not as good as some have assumed by the look of things. It seems 100% certain now that it's not the Stones.

[zahidf]

Why?

[eFestivals]

I assume it's becuase of their statement saying they have no frim plans to tour in 2011

the statement that the stones put out can be read between the lines, and a presumption made from it that they might still do some one-off shows.

But John Giddings who runs the IoW fest and normally acts as the stones tour agent has now categorically stated that they're not playing Glastonbury - something he had no reason to do if they are, so I'm taking that as 100% accurate.

[Neeeeeedles]

i was under the assumption that coldplay would be headlining regardless of rolling stones playing or not.

Always thought; u2, coldplay, stones.

now then...u2, coldplay, pulp?

[Guest blackcockerel]

Increases the chances of Pulp headlining so I'm not too bothered!

[dip]

Radiohead?

[Redwinevino]

If this means Pulp I will cry

[Guest blackcockerel]

Good

[Bort]

Wait, so Pulp might now headline like they deserve? Minutes ago, I just bought my flight and ticket for Primavera. Aaaaaah. Oh well, if I did Glasto, then I wouldn't be able to afford to see Portishead and Jeff Mangum at ATP in October.

But still, I am going to be so depressed at the end of June when I hear about everything that happened at the farm and watch all the BBC-sourced bootlegs.

[robsmith82]

I just died a little inside.

I wanted the Stones.

[strummer77]

Such an odd year this time. Normally you can pinpoint whoever but not this year it seems.

[REDDRAGONGIRLS]

I hope you're right!

[PabloCoke]

Pulp will not headline the pyramid, not a chance in hell.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Oh, well that's us told I don't think.
