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.

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

    • First time for me, really enjoyed it. Nice venue, nice weather, good vibes, etc.   Notes on performances: CMAT's a great performer - seen her live twice now.  GANS are my favourite new act since Big Special, and live they're fantastic. Fellow Brummies too, so I'm all about that. The album's a bit disappointing though. Primal Scream were great, although I felt the crowd seemed a bit muted. The Libertines sounded knackered. Not sure they're suited to a festival. First time seeing The Royston Club, thought they were very good - the tent seemed to be full of kids on each others shoulders singing along. I'm all about that. First time seeing the K's, a bit disappointed. Didn't like his voice, and I felt like every song sounded the same as the last one. Sarajevo is a good tune, though. It still sounds like all the others, just a bit better.  The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema club were a but underwhelming, but Pelican by the Maccabees is a banger. It all sounded a bit Travis/Early Coldplay to me though. The Wombats took me by surprise - I expected 1 1/2 hours of 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' style indie-landfill, so I was surprised to hear that some of the rest of their stuff had dynamics and range. I still don't think they're any good, but I can't say they didn't surprise me either. Just not my thing.   Surprise of the weekend for me was Rizzle Kicks. Never listened to them before, but they got me out of my tent and into the arena as I was trying to nurse a hangover and I thought it was a blast.    Will probably go next year too.  
    • Not really anything to say other than the fact I'm down at Opeth and this has been a cracking summer by and large here. Few duds, plenty of sellouts, strong weather, and the craft beer is cheaper than the regular bar. Winner winner, chicken dinner! 
    • Pink Floyd night on sky arts time for me  to wallow in nostalgia and remember some incredible gigs
