18th February, so a few weeks away yet. Brit Awards are on the 25th so hopefully something will come out of that as well.

Are there precedents for this?

The Brits, especially.

I'm sure Neil's mentioned something before about sometimes getting info from them, though I can't remember whether that's the NME Awards or the Brits.

Ah ok.

Gotta be the NME awards and not that other pointless fiasco that I will still watch just to moan about stuff.

[Bisque]

I know it is a very long short

[Woffy]

LOLasm.

Do you have your own predatory festival outfit / costume, Couchy?

[LaurieReid]

Surely nobody wants to see McCartney stand there and get the words wrong to a few classics do they!?

What about the Black Keys providing Pats shoulder is better??

[Woffy]

I could deal with Flo, Noel & the Prodge if Portishead were guaranteed.

I liked Beni...challenging but in a very different way to Glasto.

I think Foos leaked that they were playing R&L at the NME awards. Could do the same with Glasto this year.

[Callum_96]

Alt J said they were playing Glasto one year when James Corden asked what their plans were for that year, think that was in 2012

[dentalplan]

lets not.

You're right. He was a pretty crap ITK last year.

The Prodigy - unlikely although this album is getting heavy backing from Radio 1

Florence + The Machine - almost certain

Portishead - not a chance

Los Planetas - ashamed to say I don't know who these are but they sound random enough for a Park slot

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - fairly likely

Bastille - almost certain

Public Enemy - very unlikely

Crystal Fighters - probable

Clean Bandit - Other Stage certainties

MØ- maybe

[Matt42]

The Prodigy are unlikely because they are playing IOW, radio one backing doesn't change festival exclusivity.

Are The Prodigy an IOW exclusive?

[Brave Sir Robin]

Are The Prodigy an IOW exclusive?

If they are, IOW are choosing not to advertise the fact. But hey, I'm sure Matt42 knows.

When has a glastonbury headliner headlined IOW in the same year?

If there's an example then i'm fine to be wrong but it would be odd if the Prodigy played glasto and IOW considering they are not that far apart...

[dentalplan]

Neil Young in 2009 wasn't it?

I agree though that it's pretty unlikely, but not impossible.

[Gucci Piggy]

Just because it hasn't happened it doesn't mean there's any strength to it. Just like they shared a headliner with T for so long and then didn't last year (despite Gazza being so adamant).

[brettredmayne]

Didnt the Dolly info come out at nme awards and thats why it was officially announced

[kingcrawler]

If they are, IOW are choosing not to advertise the fact. But hey, I'm sure Matt42 knows.

Ah, that's what I thought. Not expecting them to play but didn't think they were an exclusive.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Well the, er, Prodigy headlined IOW and the Other stage in 09.
