Im still convinced you are actually a small puddle of highly reactive primordial ooze, made up of basic unicellular organisms moving randomly

[Mardy]

Semen?

awww ..... you guys...

[Pilgrim S]

Such a pessimistic / realistic view

I'm sure Eavis has a phone book of people who would be waiting, even though it will be kasabian.

[matt2007]

2005. kylie unwell and her spot covered by basement jacks, great replacement and totally covered the slot

[jumbomcnutt]

I hear Psy is free that weekend.

[mrtourette]

Clinging on to them cancelling with QOTSA getting drafted in.

[hawkzred]

You can understand why they haven't announced cancelling Bonaroo and Glastonbury quite yet as they are not their own shows. It put's both festivals in a difficult situation until they know who the replacements are.

[siblin]

He won't play glasto... its brain surgery he's having not a standard op, he will probably still be in hospital by the time glasto comes around, maybe they are having 3 shows off to get one of their guitar techs or a session musician up to speed with their songs and set list etc...

[august1]

ideal scenario for me, Ted gets well soon, Arctics move to Sunday, Dizzee bumped up on Friday, Rodgriduez gets an afternoon slot on the Friday, Mumfords come back next year and someone good is on at the same time

[PDAD]

Really hope from a selfish perspective Mumfords play. I'd hate for someone like Radiohead to headline and mean me missing them next year!

[monkey1989]

I'm off to see Bobby Womack after cavey boy anyway so

hope Mumford dude gets well soon

If someone's already posted this then I apologise but here's a link to the NHS website describing blood clots on the brain:

It definitely implies that there is little chance of Ted being OK for Glasto.

Assuming he can't play, and Mumfords aren't unpleasant enough to play without a core member, then replacements seem very thin on the ground.

Blur - the go to fill-in source but wouldn't that screw up Bobby Womack's performance, given Damon's supposed to be in his band?

Stone Roses - exclusives at IOW, although I'm not sure if that's an issue for anyone AFTER they've played there (delicious irony of them being a late replacement to headline Sunday, of course).

Nick Cave - I'd love him to be bumped up but can't see it, particularly not on locals day.

How about Steve Winwood? He's another that failed to play that slot when he was supposed to.

The Killers? Personally, I really hope not - their egos are big enough.

Kasabian? They'd love it but they've been pretty critical of not getting the gig in the first place.

Move the Arctics and bump Dizzy? Given he's less relevant and important than he used to be it would be odd. And it would make Chic dangerously busy.

I'm struggling to think of many other alternatives. Shakey? One can but hope (and there'd be no leaving early this time if it happened).

How about giving the slot to Chic and filling the West Holts slot instead? That's the best idea I've had yet, I reckon.

[DeclarationOfWar]

Would there be enough time to draft another big group? (stone roses/killers/kasabian/whoever else has been mentioned on the thread)

Hope he gets well soon!

[Bisque]

Absolutely. If you are indeed human.

Im still convinced you are actually a small puddle of highly reactive primordial ooze, made up of basic unicellular organisms moving randomly throughout the internet and therefore unable to attend social gatherings. In the traditional sense anyway.

[Bisque]

Give the slot to mike99... seeing the one & only efests warrior perform a one man monologue of his favourite comebacks along the lines of...

"No"

"LOL"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That's not funny"

"Still up for that drink at the cider bus buddy"

& the world famous "Agreed"

Play that toss over something produced by Nile Rogers & we'll be sorted for Sunday.

[august1]

if theres a secret act headling the park, then they might be a ready made headliner-ish?

shame its not the year they had pulp and radiohead huh?

[Justiceforcedave]

I'm fairly sure they'll play so don't get too excited

[dentalplan]

Thomas Bangalter is all set to step in on bass.

[Bisque]

Patience

[BuriedBones]

They will play, it's only a bass player, and their bass lines are not complex. They could draft in any left handed 8 year old at this stage and nobody would even notice.
