Said it before, but I can't see Radiohead being in contention at all. Atoms For Peace are touring till November, and they'd have to get a new album out and be on the road in six months....

My prediction (which no doubt will be completely demolished after tomorrow's announcement) is Elbow - Fleetwood Mac - Stone Roses or Kasabian

Emily Eavis said something about how Led Zeppelin and Adele were at the top of her list of dream headliners. I may be completely wrong, but to me, that sounds like she doesn't have any of them lined up for next year but instead, is trying to increase her chances of getting them in the future.

People who are saying Led Zep I seriously can't see it happening, i think Emily was just saying that they were a 'dream'. Would be surprised if they ever ended up doing it, only if they made some sort of comeback

After missing out this year, excitement is rising for next year now... If its someone like led zep (who are mentioned pretty much every year it seems) it would be amazing but I really hope it stays out of the press until after ticket day. Same for seeing pink floyd reforming.

Tom waits at the festival would be great too, although I seem to recall reading on here a few years back its very unlikely.

On a separate note, why does everyone get so worked up about predictions and wish lists on these boards? Sure, everyone has their view on what Glastonbury means to them, and should be about, but why does this mean endless discussions about who is right or wrong for Glastonbury? (Glastos general connection with efests aside) It's not as though Emily and Michael are on this website every day saying "oh, some random person said online we should have cannibal corpse, lets do that!"

'The Rolling Stones will never play Glastonbury.' - Countless people before 2013.

If - massive if though - Led Zeppelin reformed next year, then I don't see why Glastonbury wouldn't be considered by 'em. Wasn't around the first time or for many of the reunions as a matter of fact, so how big do people reckon the crowd would be if they did do it?

Slightly smaller than the Stones, the same?

Wow, obviously realised that Led Zep were massive but I thought they'd be on a par with the Stones in terms of crowd. If they played, it'd be a serious health and safety issue then! :sarcastic:

Can't see it happening though as much as I'd like to, I think they've already quashed rumours of a 2014 reunion in places. Also, Glastonbury probably wouldn't be #1 priority.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
