It would be amazing, but if it happens I will eat my hat.

Also, I told my girlfriend that if Led Zep play in 2014 then I won't go again until year dot

someone's just pointed out to me that Percy has solo dates for June next year, so that definitely looks like a non-starter (which i'd always thought it was anyway).

That's what i think has happened. Robert Plant is playing and some people have got the wrong end of the stick and thought it was a LZ reunion.

[ThomThomDrum]

Feck it!

It was a nice thought.............and like all of these rumors it wont 100% die until we 100% know!

I hope its the Roses..........would love to see them strut their stuff at Glasto (Shit for TV but, as our singing cant drown out Ian Browns voice for those at home!)

nah, I don't think that's what's happened with what I've heard. I'm pretty sure that what I heard was really only guesswork based on very little, which is why I didn't place any faith in it in the first place.

[Gnomicide]

I may be nuts but I'd prefer a Plant solo set to Led Zep one.

Neil if you were to throw your hat into the ring, who would you go with to headline the Sat and Sun? Or do you simply have no idea at the moment in time?

[eFestivals]

Right, I can see that. Do you not get sick of the same old wishful thinking/ bullshit/ LZ/Prince/whoever year on year?

Yep, totally .... but it's normally the case that it's easy to identify them as just guesses, because of the context we often get along with words that have been said.

I was about to post Gaga - cos I know that some festies have been offered her for next year - but I just checked her tourdates and see she has US shows over Glasto weekend.

So I've got no idea, soz - just the weak rumoured stuff listed on the line-ups page.

[eFestivals]

PS: I'm guessing that Fleetwood Mac might still be possible ... if they've not yet said they can't do it, then i'm guessing they'll give Glasto their answer early in the new year on the basis of how their Las Vegas show goes on 30th Dec.

[Superscally]

That show will go fine. It's more of a question of what medical info John's been given. They'll play Glasto. Certain of it. All the noises are that he is doing well and should be fine. Tony Iommi sorted Sabbath dates after being far more ill than McVie was (though I know cancer is a bugger for bad surprises)...

[eFestivals]

They'll play Glasto. Certain of it.

I'm not. I heard word that they were refusing bookings for next year, and at the time I heard that the hints coming from Glasto was that no headliner had signed on the dotted line.

At the end of the day, I think it'll only happen if they - or particularly John - regard it as a "must play" show in the same way they seem to have done with the Las Vegas show in a couple of weeks.

Just to add fuel to the rumour/hope fire....

Essence has announced that Prince will be performing at their 20th Anniversary festival 4th of July Weekend in New Orleans in 2014

[eFestivals]

Fair play, I guess they could pick and choose, but nothing will put them back in the collective UK consciousness like a Glasto show. It could be their last (though I hope it isn't) ever gig...

Sabbath cancelled a shedload, but always said they'd play Download as for metal fans in the UK, it's the pinnacle.

the difference to Sabbath, I think, is that FM don't really have anything to prove.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Are we also assuming the little purple one wont be there as well then? Still asking for too much dosh?

[eFestivals]

right, have done some further digging.....

Word I've had today - I've no way of knowing if it's right, and it's a repeat with more detail of what I heard previously - is that Arcade Fire are replacements for Fleetwood Mac.

Saturday is Led Zep, but if they won't do it it's Radiohead (but other info i've had is that from a different source is that Radiohead are not doing shows next year).

And Sunday is Prince.

As I've said, I don't believe the LZ or Prince parts of it (I always had more trust in the AF part, as that was presented to me as more certain - and is why they were strong rumoured for the Friday).

[JamesT977]

I didn't think it could get any better than Arcade Fire....

[willutalk]

I reckon Prince will be our Saturday headline act as Eavis tends to put his most treasured headliner on the Saturday now. can't see Zepp doing it this year though at all.
