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.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
