If they honestly couldn't put on a show without some big platforms and a lot of lights, surely that says more about Jay-Z and Kanye as performers than anything else?

The best live artists can do it without a massive stage show and lighting, they create the atmosphere themselves!

anybody who saw Jay Z at the Radio One Big Weekend will know that Jay Z and Kanye don't need all that stage show bullshit to put on a show, although i'm sure they'd bring more with them if they played Glasto considering Kanye was only a special guest at the Radio One thing

i don't think they'll play, but if they did i have no doubt in my mind that it'd be incredible

Thinking back to who Neil was talking about turning Glastonbury down. Really hope it was someone we hadn't considered so people aren't disappointed. On the other hand I really hope they didn't get turned down by someone who would've been amazing like Arcade Fire, though they were probably asked ages ago about playing so it probably won't be them. Likely to be Bowie isn't it considering he's only just come back into getting some attention?

I personally hope it was either Radiohead or Fleetwood Mac that turned them down, as from a selfish point if view I don't want to see them.

In all honesty though i really was 1 of the people who worried about headliners, now I'm more excited by the few performances in the day from bands I like. (I also like the Arctic Monkeys so I'm happy that they should be doing 1 day)

I know of more than just one act who has recently turned Glasto down for 2013. Glasto have been doing the rounds lately.

Quite surprisingly they're acts that have been barely mentioned in these forums this year.

I won't be naming the acts. They're entitled to make their choice on their own basis, and that basis is not necessarily a snub to the festival.

    • Ive always had a lot of time for the mighty Shots, a pal of mine used to commentate on their games for Sussex Counties radio and he'd sneak me into the ground for midweek games, and we'd even nick a tea and a plate of sandwiches. This is back in the George Borg days, so um . . a little while ago now 
    • Hmm, weird- Rush are playing the Co-Op live on the 12th and the 14th, and Megadeth are the meat in that sandwich - so they have to roll everything in, roll it out again, only to roll it back in and then out - here's hoping for a prog hokey-cokey with all manner of bizarre time signatures and drum solos! 
    • Depends what you mean by seeing 'more stuff' about it.    I definitely don't trust the original Sun article.

    • Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.
