am digging around on a rather unexpected name in the frame for headliner right now ... more news if I'm able to pin anything down.

Cheers to whoever posted that full NME quote, the bit I posted was what I saw on twitter, however the full quote doesn't sound so likely.

I don't know, it seems fairly obvious by the Sunday comments that it's on. A little hint there me thinks. Glasto like to end on the Sunday with a bang and a bloody good sing along. Michael E has done well in the past three G's to attract a really big act to finish the fest off, 2009- Blur, 2010 - Stevie and 2011- Bouncie. It would seem rather a let down not to have a band / person who can do that. The Stones seem the obvious choice.

If Mick's at all put off by the rain all he needs to do is to make one phone call. 'David, do you remember that video we did together? I need you to dig through your impressive wardrobe and dig out that amazing mac you wore. I have an upcoming engagement and I think I might need it. I'll sent it back to you properly dry cleaned and everything'.

Hey presto Mick's concerns are sorted.

Arctic Monkeys

The Stones and GaGa taking the other two slots.

I reckon Mick's comments are curevall comments to purposely relate people to Prince

[howlin_pete]

Do some people think people are cryptically referring to Prince whenever they mention rain?

I am intrigued who the headliners are...

I am interested what the undercard is...

Always a cracking undercard

Hahaha Prince on standby? Yeah, okay.

Arctics are on the verge of announcing an 11 date US tour which could be make or break. The only date out at the moment is 28th May.

[Mardy]

hehehe, Prince. Never going to happen. I'd love it, but I know it won't ever come to pass.

[stf]

Anyone else wondering if Elton was/is the mystery man, given bestivals announcement?

I cannot believe some people think Jagger was hinting at Prince. Wow.

[brettredmayne]

Mick also said his Favorite Glastonbury was 1999 and he watched it while wearing a Raspberry Beret

[Wooderson]

Is the out of the blue headliner going to be Pugwall from TV in the 90's.

Always been on my must see tick off list and it would definitely be unexpected.

[BlackHole2006]

by standby, i mean more a case of, mick knows by the time frame he says yes or no, prince will probably be a top choice for them, given how close he agrees

[tylerdurden]

Now that we've gotten over speculating whether or not the Stones are going to play, can we begin to discuss what a damp squib their performance will actually be?

Their standing in the history of popular music is much greater than their actual talent/performances these days.

All the schoolgirl "Will they!? Won't they!?" gossiping seems to have distracted people from the fact that they're shit live, and even with their back catalogue, a headline slot will leave half the crowd knowingly disappointed, and the other half in steadfast denial that they haven't just wasted their time watching some very embarrassing old men. Neil Young is the definition of a respectable, elder statesmen of rock'n'roll, who can still demolish crowds at will. Jagger et al are a fucking horror show. I think if they play, it probably makes Gaga more likely given their recent duet on '...Shelter', though they've probably got the Florence option too

I laughed so much at the idea the whiskey I'm drinking (with Orange Juice-I have a cold) came out of my nose

I don't think the Jagger quotes on nme.com tell us anything we didn't already know - there's an offer on the table, they're considering it along with other gigs. No exclusive relations.
