Rolling Stones or Fleetwood Mac ?

[Mud Dweller]

Id rather have Kasabian or someone of that ilk rather than D.Rascal

[jamesrfisher]

Let's hope the Eavii are talking to David Bowie

[zahidf]

How do you know they're having difficulties?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Well, Neil says acts have said no to them, and they've only booked one headliner so far. They clearly don't have their first choice bands.

[sisco]

Well you say there first choice bands. Who's to say Arctic monkeys and The stones aren't first choices?? They could be and they could end up being 2 of the headliners.

Now there third maybe being left open due to Money implications with the stones?! If they have a pot of 500k and the stones want 400k of it then it could lower offers to the third etc... (All figures made up of course).

Now Neil says people have turned down, but maybe in some situations it's a can u do it if Stones don't play? Maybe it's a can you do it, but it's not guaranteed yet, we have to wait.

Just a theory anyway, probably way off

[eFestivals]

... maybe in some situations it's a can u do it if Stones don't play? Maybe it's a can you do it, but it's not guaranteed yet, we have to wait.

it could be that, I don't know either way. But I don't think that's too likely, as to me that seems somewhat insulting towards any act who was asked that. I think it's far more likely that any approaches will be on a firm 'we'd like you to play' basis.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

The Stones! Fleetwood Mac are a bit to wishy washy for my taste, although I do like a couple of their tunes.

[dancelittleliar]

I think sisco probably has it right, or close enough. They don't want to book a third until they have the Stones confirmed or uncomfirmed, because how can you book a band if you have no idea how much money you have to spend?

They could have two "if Stones don't play" bands lined up and one "if Stones do play" band lined up, but it's difficult to make negotiations with a band if you're saying straight up to them you could not play.

If someone came up to me saying do you want to headline, but you might not be able to even if you accept, and I don't know how much money I have, I'd say come back when you know what you're offering.

That's Fleetwood Mac ruled out then..

[Wooderson]

Glasto clealy has beef with the 'Mac.

[Wooderson]

What are Prince's fees like in comparison to the 'Mac?

[Guest]

apart from a handful of fans wanting them to play, was there any reason t think they might be on

(oh, yea, I think Stevie said she'd like to play..)

[The60ftOctopus]

So possibly no Stones or Fleetwood Mac? If there's no Daft Punk well I oughta...

[russycarps]

the mumfords/vaccines/rhianna axis of evil shuffles ever closer towards the pyramid stage

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Im going to be the daft punk esque fan and say they could still play....

[eFestivals]

Glasto clealy has beef with the 'Mac.

you're having a laugh. They can't book a band who are playing elsewhere at the same time.

I always said I didn't think they'd be playing. I've said the same with the stones too - I wonder if I'll get two out of two?

[mrtourette]

So....Stones and Fleetwood Mac for 2014?

[eFestivals]

Im going to be the daft punk esque fan and say they could still play....

and you might be right.

Something has suggested they might be in the running again.

[JBarbour]

Headlining pyramid?

who knows.

This is messing with my head! Anything you can share Neil?

not of any substance at the mo. I'm just starting to dig on that one.

[FloorFiller]

didn't see that coming! when the Stones seemed to go arse up i was almost sure that Fleetwood would be there (not that the Stones rumour has been totally quashed yet)

as for Daft Punk... i'll only believe it if they end up being on the Coachella lineup
