Prince, Metallica and Outkast confirmed for Glastonbury 2014 Festival today?

[CaledonianGonzo]

that's a heck of an optimistic interpretation of 'mostly nonsense'.

[Matt42]

Daft punk aren't doing it... Let it slide

[dentalplan]

That was brilliant, if that was any other artist you would think he was being a bit of a c**t (Axl Rose) but in this case because it's Prince it just seems normal haha. My favourite bit is at the end where he says

"The thing that cheesed me off the most that he never played Batdance, not once."

[eFestivals]

An appearance at the Grammys aside, there are no indications that Daft Punk are doing anything.

I have solid info that they're not.

I also had solid info about their (non)tour plans for 2013, what they'd done on their album, and when the album was to be released.

So anyone, please feel free to tell me that they're touring.

[dentalplan]

I think even the media have grasped that they're not touring now. Wouldn't have made sense for them to release a massive album then tour a year after when people have mostly stopped talking about it. If they were gonna tour it would have made sense to hold back the release until they were ready - same as Bowie.

[CaledonianGonzo]

To be fair, they toured Amsterdam:

Every year I try to resist the Prince rumour threads, because every year I feel progressively more ashamed of myself for allowing myself to believe it might finally happen. I've not succeeded this year either, damn it!

I'd take Kasabian headlining the Sunday for the next 5 years on the trot if the Eavi granted us Prince just the once.

It made me laugh that despite the act was confirmed a day before to be Chase and Status, people were still running around looking for Daft Punk.

[Justiceforcedave]

Prince seems to be touring and coming to the UK in some shape or form.

An appearance at the Grammys aside, there are no indications that Daft Punk are doing anything.

[jeffie]

Are Daft Punk playing?

[swede]

Im starting to really question my wifes taste in music these days, she's never been one for older or legendary acts and we only watched an hour of the Stones last year as they arent her thing and it was the only thing she asked for in terms of bands we watched.

Shes now told me she doesnt want to see Prince if he's booked. Ive told her that some of our friends better have as questionable taste in music so she has company on the Saturday night as Im not missing him and I know I can always go and watch him with my brother and his friends

[dentalplan]

Would he get a similar sized crowd to the Stones?

[JayBalls]

I don't think it would be as big, depends widely on who is on elsewhere I suppose.

[FloorFiller]

Would he get a similar sized crowd to the Stones?

[Matt42]

The Stones were an act that's gonna be written in the history books.

Prince, as iconic as he is is not up to that category.

[CaledonianGonzo]

When Prince plays over here his tickets are less exorbitant than the Stones', so it can probably be considered less of a one-off chance to experience a 'freebie'.

[suzie sue]

Prob similar to Stevie wonder crowd

[Buff124]

Miles Davis said that Prince is "the perfect blend of James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and Marvin Gaye". Maybe a bit of Snoop in there too.

Ah I see. Cheers.

Glad the crowds I'll be in won't be particularly starved elsewhere then.

Now I'm reading too much into things

"This is beyond anything we've ever done. We've gone hard, but this is beyond hard. This is hardcore. We want to put it out there and let people stew on it. Let them worry about it. Then tour the motherfucking hell out of it."
