2013 Headliners

[strummer77]

but not brilliant enough to be booked just yet.

Neil, when a festival gives you the embargo on not being able to announce an act, are you allowed to say you've been embargoed? Is there a secret code word you can drop on this forum once it's clear that the act has been locked down but you're not at liberty to say anything?

I've no real idea.

I once got told off by a major festival's press office for posting about an email I'd had to inform me that I'd be getting an embargo'd press release.

STONES CONFORMED FOR GLASTO?

Twitter is in meltdown right now

For alot of people who don't follow rumours, this is the first they've heard of the stones rumours.

Thoughts on the Kasabian article Neil? He does seem pretty adamant, and it's likely he's in the know, being booked for the festival that was chasing them. Then again, it is a pretty big thing to leak

Cue many tweets of "omg! there the best band ever, I dnt no any songs but i got a tshirt from topshop with them on. gotta get a day ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111"

Well - the news is now about 10 hours old and there have been no denials. Not that they're obliged to, of course, but it's a fairly newsworthy bit of goss to just leave lying there.

Maybe the delay in NME publishing it was due to some cheeky behind the scenes discussions.

Perhaps I am being thick but why would Serge from Kasabian be any more in the know about the Glasto headliners than anyone else?!

[Matt42]

No denials for prince either...

Possibly, because all three headliners may have been press leaked...

Glastonbury might think... might aswell reveal headliners early.. just like last time.

The uninformed outsider's view of yours truly is that the Stones have Glastonbury firmly penciled in and are pretty sure they'll do it, but they're holding out until the very last second because a). they want to squeeze the Eavii for all they've got, in a staring contest we know (and, more pertinently, Jagger knows) who'll blink first, and b ). because there's a 0.00000001% beardy Branson may offer them a trillion pounds and an everlasting supply of coke to be the first ever band to play on the moon or some shit like that. Basically, Glastonbury is in the bag for them, they can afford to piss around because they know it's there if they want it.

Re; Serge, let's not forget this man has made a career out of talking bullshit and presenting it as fact, he told everybody his shit band were great and worthy of headlining R&L and Hard Rock Calling, lo and behold...

The man's a fucking idiot and knows nothing, at most he knows they turned down HRC, that's it, he's just enjoying giving it the big "I am" in the papers, it's not an unreasonable assumption to make, and he can claim to be a clued up genius when it comes out as true.

Or .... as he's aware that his band are playing HRC as they were the back up band should the Stones drop out and choose to play Glastonbury??

Plus he's in the industry there is a good chance a fair few people are genuinely ITK and he's just the 1st to let slip?

This would get everyone away from more fun parts of the Festival! - not for me!

I find it hard to dislike this serge fellow. Everything about him screams "whopper" but he's living the dream.

His band are headlining festivals, playing songs he's written. He no doubt lives the rockstar lifestyle.

Fair enough I think his music is godawful, but sat here typing this at my desk in london....well I wonder who the whopper actually is

ah well, Take That will be disappointed, cos Eavis already has the bands lined up for next yea\r.

Mind you, I strongly suspect that one of the acts he has lined up isn't actually going to happen in the end, cos there's a long time between now and June 2014.

The other two are much more likely to stick. There's a lot of real enthusiasm from the band members.

which just gets to show how stupid most twatters are - cos the stories explicitly say they're not playing.
