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.

    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never been the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them after Thursday & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
