Why the laugh?

[The Nal]

Only taking the piss Gazza.

Seriously though - The Stones will be there next year.

Absolutely faxing in a bog standard self parody set of their old "nambahs".

I think it's because there was a bit of a contradiction in your statement. Look at the points LondonTom has highlighted.

Stone Roses will be there, but I don't reckon they'll headline. Can see this summer's SR shows being erm, .. disappointing, and their star waning pretting sharpish. Second/third from top by June 2013

yeah, if they sign or agree now, they'll headline, if they wait till after the summer shows it won't be such a big deal. Having thought about it, I reckon Eavis will sign them as soon as he can, there's a lot of mutual respect etc etc, but my point is, if he were to be offered them from scratch this autumn, they wouldn't be headliner material. I hope I'm wrong, but can't see this reunion working on any level.

I'm pretty confident Eavis won't be stupid enough to sign them without actually seeing them live.

Where's the contradiction?

I think your statement can be read two ways - one as you have explained it and the other as LondonTom expressed it. That's why I said ' a bit of a' in my statement. Nobody's having a pop. I'm sure it was mentioned in a light hearted manner.

If the stones tour, they'll play Glasto.

[mike46]

There is no contradiction, The Stones (AKA The Rolling Stones) are different to The Stone Roses. Obvious, I know, but I think you have mistaken the two names, it can be confusing.

[eFestivals]

If the stones tour, they'll play Glasto.

I'm far from sure about that. The Stones essentially auction their tour dates to the highest bidder, and I can't see them changing that for what will be their last tour and so their last chance of earning. They love their money too much.

Having said that, I don't see it as impossible - but I'm a very long way from having the same certainty as you about it.

[gazza_20]

I think the contradiction was in where he says we dont know whose playing but then mentions the roses are nailed on.

[gazza_20]

If the stones tour, they'll play Glasto.

[The Nal]

They played IOW in 2007. 18 days at max I'd say? Between this and Glasto, they didn't play.

[gazza_20]

18 days and 1.8 million between the two. Thats why they didn't play.

For the record they were absolutely shite at IOW. As they have been since 1975.

But I think theres a good chance of Glasto. One of the few places they haven't played, BBC TV, 50th anniversary of the band, new album to flog etc.

[LondonTom]

We don't actually know who is nailed on but I'd say the only definite one if any is The Stone Roses

I think your point is wrong my friend. Take note of the bold lettering here. Strong thought statements are not nailed on's.

[The Nal]

So in that theory, they had already got a money deal, why not play Glasto for BBC TV then?

I think it's almost sure and Neil may agree with me that this will not happen unless they have a big outdoor Hyde Park Gig or something too to rake the money in.

And yes, I have heard they were shite at IOW 07.

[gazza_20]

theyre actually not that bad but its just when you compare them to how good they were........

[gazza_20]

I may have slightly mis-read but point stands really on the sillyness of your statement you can't criticize someone else for saying someones nailed then say the same thing after.

You may have slightly mis-read? I don't believe that. I suggest you keeping re-reading that, I made use of the word if any, and with respect the guy who said about The Rolling Stones being nailed on, did not. So my point of statement is very valid, just you sir, are reading it wrong,

Might have been an exclusive contract to get said money? Where's there would be less of thing of doing there own massive show and earning money from that then doing Glasto for BBC coverage.

Fans of the Rolling Stones hoping the band will one day headline at Glastonbury Festival, pricked up their ears when they heard festival founder Michael Eavis refer to the band in a Dutch interview carried on Youtube.

When the interviewer asked how booking headline acts is done, Mr Eavis replied: "Well I phone up Chris Martin, or do the Stones, or phone up Paul McCartney, so I do that myself."

The impromptu interview happened while Mr Eavis was in Holland to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's European Festival Awards. Back at his dairy farm at Pilton, near Glastonbury, yesterday Mr Eavis admitted the Stones: "are on a wish list".

"It would be brilliant if they came, and brilliant for them too. They are the only band in the world that we haven't had play the festival. Everyone else wants to play." But he added: "I would not ring the band myself – I have known the agent all my life." Mr Eavis is giving the Glastonbury Festival a year off this year.

Seems a good interview.
