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.

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?

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 :lol:

Take That // Digital Spy "hint at Glastonbury"

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a463875/take-that-to-headline-2014-glastonbury-festival.html

Don't put an oz of credence in this, but thought I'd add just in case...

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.

      Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.

      I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.
