Rolling Stones...

[JamesT977]

I've requested Ruby Tuesday to be played, if i don't get Ruby Tuesday i'll meet Mick in the pub Mike speaks to him in and be like "Hawl, Mick where was Ruby Tuesday it's a classic song?"

[Trebor]

Not necessarily, may even be on different days if Morrissey/Elbow is anything to go by. We know it's Primal Scream into Rolling Stones at least.

Not sure what you mean by Morrissey and Elbow, but Dizzee Rascal is also bound to be before Arctic Monkeys

Elbow were before Morrissey on 2011's poster but subbed the Saturday & Morrissey subbed Friday...

Azealia Banks to guest vocal on Gimme Shelter?

I'm taking this as a nugget of hope that The Smashing Pumpkins are headlining Other

[dentalplan]

Well the eFestivals line-up lists all the Pyramid headliners and subs as we expect them to be, I'm sure the press release given to Neil will have said that those are correct.

[LondonTom]

Most important question now....

Will they play Angie?!

[jimmy93]

I was just gonna ask who do we think is gonna guest on Gimme Shelter but I've been beaten to it. Do we think it'll be someone already playing or someone external? (Thank heavens Florence isn't on the bill for this exact reason).

I think they'll have a load of special guests joining them for songs, they'll know this is more than just a normal gig and I reckon we'll get a show a big like the Shine a light documentary

[fatyeti24]

i might have missed it, but did the Stones announce only Glastonbury today or the tour as well?

[Karlhippy]

*smug mode*

[fatyeti24]

Mr Eavis on the radio just said that the Stones weren't confirmed until 3pm Thursday.

Mr Eavis on the radio just said that the Stones weren't confirmed until 3pm Thursday.

ha jesus christ. the lineup announcement really was resting on the Stones confirmation wasn't it?

i wonder what they would've done if the Stones had said no? Mumfords obviously weren't the backup like Neil thought and surely they couldn't bump up Primal Scream. wonder if they had another band on the sidelines just waiting to step in

[eFestivals]

Mr Eavis on the radio just said that the Stones weren't confirmed until 3pm Thursday.

If that's really true, I knew they were confirmed before he did.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I really hope it's Mary J Blige for Gimme Shelter. She seems to be the one who really nailed it last year. Bracing myself for Flo, though...

Most important question now....

Will they play Angie?!

Unlikely, I'd say. Call it a 40% chance.

[coma girl]

If that's really true, I knew they were confirmed before he did.

Think the interview 6music just played was recorded a day or two ago so he probably meant 3pm Monday or Tuesday.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I didn't hear it, but apparently Eavis also said that they're not paying over the odds for them - just standard headliner rate.

[russycarps]

Rita Ora for Gimme Shelter. We all know it's going to happen!

[FloorFiller]

Rita Ora for Gimme Shelter. We all know it's going to happen!

ha jesus christ, that would be so bad that it's almost worth happening just to see the crowd's reaction

[eFestivals]

Think the interview 6music just played was recorded a day or two ago so he probably meant 3pm Monday or Tuesday.

I'm listening to 6music and I missed that.

But yeah, sounds like it must have been before yesterday - cos someone in the stones camp was telling all and sundry about them playing and Glasto announcing from a good while before 3pm yesterday.

[fightoffyour]

I didn't hear it, but apparently Eavis also said that they're not paying over the odds for them - just standard headliner rate.

Wouldn't expect him to say anything else...but really? Pyramid undercard is weak and it looks to me like more British acts across the board - potentially cheaper?

I cant see that being true, hard rock radio knew about it a 10 oclock yesterday morning.

Edited March 28, 2013 by Mud Dweller

[FloorFiller]

you do all realise that it was Wednesday yesterday and so if they were confirmed on a Thursday it was last week?

not sure whether to believe that 'same rate' story... unless the Stones actually REALLY wanted to do Glastonbury

[CaledonianGonzo]

Regardless of the final paycheque, they clearly want to play it. If only to try to put one over on U2.

Joking aside - it might be as simple as that. At this stage they're the only of the mega-bands that haven't done it and it maybe feels like one last entry in the list of achievements when they throw in the towel.

As for that O2 setlist, I'd really like them to play Lady Jane.

It's great to hear how chuffed ME is - you can hear it in his voice the first time he says it
