We get this :-)

(plus some of the new shit)

But the problem is that the new shit is literally shit

[Matt42]

What on earth are you talking about?

I genuinely thought they'd give it to the foos so i'm surprised.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

What difference does it make which day they play? Surely the only important thing is which bands are playing elsewhere?

[FloorFiller]

not that it really matters, but i agree that giving Coldplay the Saturday 'big' headline slot again is a bit aggravating (i'm just assuming they won't be the Sunday). might as well just stick Chemical Bros up against them on Other again as well

[WS_Jack_III]

You lot are forgetting that Coldplay aren't confirmed yet

Keep the faith

[michael eavis' beard]

Of the acts rumoured this is by far the best from a personal point of view. Looks like I'll have 1 night at the Pyramid after all.....unless they get Elton too!

that TBC is all too looming. my god i hope Neil is wrong on that one and it comes as a total surprise. even if it's shite and i don't like it, at least it's not pissing Coldplay

[Bisque]

It'll be all over the BBC so they'll tone the new stuff down hopefully A LOT.

So did I but it doesn't matter.

1. Coldplay could still easily be on the Sunday

2. What different does it make what day acts are booked for? No one last year goes "Ugh as if Reading have booked Blink again... Wait... What? They're playing the Sunday again?! Shit me I could have handled them playing a different day but not the same day as last time. Selling my ticket."

Wondering how the squirrel is doing

[ChrisTGA]

Why have AC/DC disappeared from the rumours page

[Gnomicide]

Wondering how the squirrel is doing

Up to his nuts.

[DomDom1984]

Who Metallica? Wouldn't say they're any larger in terms of general public appeal than Arcade Fire or Kasabian last time out, bigger in a historical, sold more records sense without a doubt. In the same respect you could say in 2010 that U2 should have been down for the Saturday? People seem to get hung up on an assumption that their are some sort of unwritten historic rules about where certain bands are placed

They were the biggest band of the three. Maybe not for the general public, but it was a massive coup to get a band who sell more tickets, sell more albums and are generally legends in their niche.

I do think that there's too much focus on the Saturday being some sort of sacred thing, but last year, the biggest act played that day.

[Mezhyp1]

Why have AC/DC disappeared from the rumours page

Because they aren't going to be playing this year

[Badlands]

Why have AC/DC disappeared from the rumours page

Because they're not playing.

[neil999]

hopefully coldplay are princes back up, and prince is now is doing it...that or we can hope for a bono type injury!

[Mouseboy11]

Because they're not playing.

Someone is going to have to break it to 'BonScott'..

[Gucci Piggy]

Someone is going to have to break it to 'BonScott'..

Break it to him? He's posted the same essay on why the won't play 5 times a day since he arrived.

[michael eavis' beard]

At least we know his ticket will definitely be going back in the pot now!

Metallica play the UK every other year basically, didn't see it as a coup in any sense at all

I'm hoping this is the case.

[Little Andy]

Adele has left the rumours page (on the same day the Mirror reported her as a potential)

[brettredmayne]

Seems Neil has got some info tonight

[Little Andy]

With Adele and AC/DC gone from the rumours page, the remaining possible 3rd headliner rumours include Flo, Taylor, Elton, Rihanna, Libertines, Prince and ...... I've seen no-one discuss the fact that Motorhead are on there!! Still, can't see it happening, especially with Foos confirmed.
