[brettredmayne]

Blondie probably?

Nme awards was the 26th where Eavis was picking up an award.

[Changeme]

Anyone think pulp have a chance?

[GlastoSimon]

Anyone think pulp have a chance?

They don't appear to be active at the moment, so unfortunately I'd say no.

[Wooderson]

He's only a nutty farmer anyway, I'm always amazed we take anything he says at all seriously

"Anything"??

[russycarps]

"Anything"??

Michael Eavis: "Glastonbury is the best festival in the world!"

Zac Quinn: "fuck off Michael".

[Wooderson]

Could be argued there are few people *more* respected for what they have to say than Michael.

In the context of him discussing lineups it's safe to say he's come out with a few whoppers in his time though.

[mrtourette]

Yeah there are definitely certain subjects on which he commands attention, and some that you wouldn't even bother wasting the time.

[Wooderson]

Or has he shrewly put people off the scent and ensured clauses/confidentiality met?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Or has he repeatedly & intentionally misled the media in order to cause even more of a frenzy on ticket day.

You could argue it either way.

[The Nal]

He does both. Hes very good at it too.

[Matt42]

According to this guy the libertines are doing T in The Park and Reading and a handful of european festivals, none glastonbury.

He's specified which days they are playing as well so... Could be reliable info

At the end of the day, the band (or at least, Jarvis) seem to be really happy with how they ended it - massive hometown show followed by (literally) sailing off into the sunset.

I think if there's anything that could tempt them back out of retirement then it'd be a Glastonbury headline slot, but still seems unlikely.

and yet it doesn't say anything like that.

Perhaps that's what is meant, but it doesn't say that at all.

[Space Shanty]

No Libertines... no loss.

If that's the way it is

I hope the Libs aren't at glasto, they were absolute shite at Beni last year. If they are there he should have them headlining the other stage.

So who does fit the "he's english but they arent english" ???

Anyone think the phonics might play?

Fleetwood Mac or AC/DC and Eavis was getting ahead of himself and whichever it was ultimately decided to just do a UK gig(s) that weekend for more money.

more reliable that Carl Barat's sister saying that they were playing Glastonbury?

[eFestivals]

not reliable at all, as it says nothing of what Matt claims it does.

[brettredmayne]

I still can't see the libertines as a headliner unless we are presuming the new album will be massive.

[A Guy Called Matt]

I think I am correct in saying this, last year BBC6 music had about an 80% share of acts with GF.

So with their line-up coming out we might be getting some clues, maybe not to he main Pyramaid headliners but definately elsewhere.

[ghostdancer1]

no-one with any sense thinks they'll be headliners.

Other stage headliners, or sub-Pyramid perhaps is the best they can hope for.

Nme awards was the 26th where Eavis was picking up an award.

"Blondie also announced their scheduled Glastonbury appearance at last night's NME Awards with Austin, Texas while both Dolly Parton and organiser Emily Eavis have confirmed that the 'Jolene' singer will appear at Worthy Farm this year. "

It was Blonde / Debbie Harry that slipped up and told people that the band had been booked that night.

Emily confirmed Disclosure were playing that night

Dolly's Twitter account announced her tour was stooping off at Glasto. Later confirmed by Emily.

[LaurieReid]

Cheers Ghosty. Shame we wont get to see AC/DC though. Thought they'd be massive if they had Saturday Night headline slot.
