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 ;)

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
