Cool interview! Lots of interesting bits!....You know the act approaching them I think its a big name we haven't thought of, it sounded kind a surprise.. which the stones/prince wouldn't be as they have been approached before.

Hate to say it maybe one like Take That...maybe Lady GaGa hadn't been approached and she's approached them.

Before I start I need to say I know very little about music as I don't follow it or tend to listen to it (unless overheard while out somewhere). So don't completely laugh your bollocks off when I say couldn't Emily have been referring to Elton John in this statement;

"Yesterday, someone big who we’ve really wanted for ages got in contact and so now we’re trying to negotiate the deal, to explain why we can’t offer millions of pounds, but we really want it to happen."

Or is Elton John not considered big nowadays? I really have no idea!

over half the shows that Elton does nowadays are charity shows. He wouldn't need convincing about the money.

Aint posted in the glasto forum in a while, whos the latest up to date roumered to be headliners?

my money *currently* is firmly on The Rolling Stones, The Stone Roses, and someone else.

I have reason to believe that The Stone Roses are as good as booked (tho I may get other info within a month or two which says otherwise) - so the only reason I currently reckon it won't happen is if they split again before next summer.

Despite the denial by The Rolling Stones, I'm of the belief that there's something to the story. How much of it tho I don't know.

Elton John is playing smallish football stadiums really, 10,000 capacity max maybe. I wouldn't be over the moon with him headlining the festival, he didn't sound as good as he used to be during that Jubilee show; let alone in a years time. Mind you, I suppose he would be a 'sing-along' headliner, and those who weren't too keen could always do something else!

the rolling stones would be pretty epic, wouldnt really class the stone roses as a decent booking though considering they are on pretty much every festival everywhere this year, ill be seeing them headline 3 times this year lol good job i like them then, but would rather have someone else to see next year :P going to be my first glastonbury and its going to be my birthday on the saturday too ;)

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub 
    • Yeah Roy's Tune was lovely. Looking forward to the whole thing hopefully going on iPlayer.   It's scattered dates they have this year really, proper tour/s to come next year - suspect a new single will drop in the next couple of months, providing the album is done.
