Although people have laughed at the idea of Prince being considered a back-up for the Rolling Stones, I can actually see there being an element of truth to it. If plans for Prince have fallen through in the past because, like the Stones, he's a greedy sod, what's to stop Glasto offering him a million due to the Stones saying no? Jagger and co saying no could potentially make this the one year Prince is in with a chance, because the money is already put to one side. Very unlikely both acts would play though, surely there's not enough in the pot for both?

Also, if Eavis can't achieve his long-term mission of bagging the Stones, getting another elusive headliner might soften the blow for him

The kind of annoying thing is that the Daily Star's rampant speculation more likely means Prince will NEVER play because he'll get more pissed off that they're "selling the festival using his name".

Unless they're right, of course. But I doubt it.

I watched Coma Girl at the start an went off to see Jarvis. Also, Hard Rock Calling 2013: dullest headliners ever? Every festival line-up this year that gets announced this year is worse than the last. Obviously Glasto will buck this trend... won't it?

Hasnt neil claimed he knows the 2014 headliners already and that they are all booked? I think neil also mentioned prince never commits to a festival until a few weeks before it starts. This would rule him out of being booked for 2014 which hopefully means he's more likely for this year, but I cant see it.

I have this horrific feeling florence and the machine will end up headlining this year.

    • Go on then, who's going to win? I'm going for France...
    • They’re even making AdP craft beers now. Nice IPAs too. 
    • I don't think a whole raft of attendees who've been going every year since the mid 90s and mid 10s collectively all thinking the festival is no longer for us suggests we've all aged out of it at the same time. Something fundamental has changed and its pretty obvious what that is. The fact that theyve managed to skinny down the line up so much AND STILL get punters in is a real credit to the bookers, filling it with enough of the current thing to get the kids excited for a weekend while pulling in enough big names to make it worth a day out for the casual Florence fan etc... is impresive. Re Leeds: Annecdotally, from videos, numbers have looked tiny vs Reading, esp on the camping end of things, it would be good to know the official numbers and how much they're down from the peak sell out years
    • Found it, it simply is at the toilets.
