I've listen the The Roses albums a lot over the last two days as I've never really got into them and I'm not sure if there's enough there for them ti headline? Maybe at their peak but I'm not sure about now. I could see them being great live with a partisan crowd but at Glastonbury, I'm not sure if you'd get that. Certainly not in great numbers anyway.

Don't stoke up the Roses' fans. They won't take kindly to that!

Had a look at their website and they seem to be a press organised thing - could they have got something and broken an embargo?

Glasto don't do press like other festivals. Most of the time there is only a select few that get the info prior to the announcement - mainly bbc and guardian.

Even some of the big boys in the media have to get Glastonbury information from the festivals official website. That includes line up announcements.

I want to believe that an announcement is imminent, but I don't want that announcement to be Florence + The Machine headlining

i'd rather that than prince in my ever so humble opinion... and thats not even saying i particularly like FATM

I am contributing as part of my "Newbie drive to Efests 1000 page Glasto headliners thread guessathon 2015" TM.

Can't believe the first year I get tickets and join here, no one really seems to be able to guess who it's gonna be

I have given it some thought though and this is my final headliner prediction.

I'm bearing in mind the Eavii's infamous back stage comment and also the flurry of anniversaries for various bands this year (spike island etc), and I'm also going with an antipodean theme...

So I'm going for a "cast of neighbours 1985-2015 medley".

Led by Nicola Charles (fit and British):vocals.

Mrs Mangle on Flying V/Gibson.

Lou Carpenter on Drums (looks like he smashed it in the 70's)

Craig Maclachlan/Donovan/Minogue/token Rowetta:Backing vocals

Alessi sisters : go go dancers/strippers.

Bouncer (dog) : maracas/theremin.

Toadfish Rebecchi : Electric triangle/washboard/spoons.

Ay thang yew

At least when it isn't Flo it'll now be a pleasant surprise, whoever it is. Even the Roses.

Mumford and Sons again would be a more pleasant surprise than "Flo". Doesn't matter how much she gets her kit off in latest videos - the songs are weak.

I thinl if it's Flo it may not come this week, if it's Prince or someone huge like that it'll be either tomorrow or Thursday to get in before IOW. Blur at IOW isn't actually that huge, it's not like they are doing a sold out quick show where IOW ia you're only hope.

Woah, Wooderson, that's too far. This lack of info is getting to all of us, but try to hold it together.

I'm just not a fan Robin. Songs are pants and vocals are worse.

The cynical ploy to turn her into a "sex symbol" makes it worse still.

I've just had three downvotes, I assume on the strength of my headliner predictions.

Crikey! Are you lot always that touchy? Let's be fair, people are pissing in the wind guessing who the headliner may or not be (myself included) :)

You grumpy buggers, I even included a theremin playing golden lab. :)

    • Looking like will be bringing a 2-3 month old to Glastonbury next year
    • Healey's first budget with be Oct 28th
    • Been going for 10 years. Wasn't massively keen on the lineup beforehand - although as usual after some research I did start to really look forward to it. We had a brilliant time, felt more like old school Latitude, lovely vibe and we met some nice people. We saw loads but highlights for me -   Lime Garden Florence Road Jalen Ngonda David Byrne - Not a fan of him or TH really but we went out of interest and it was one of those festival shows that you'll never forget. The staging was off the scale. Eleni Drake - Up on BBC Introducing, what a haven that stage is.  Westside Cowboy Getdown Services - Probably highlight of the weekend for me. Absolutely brilliant and have booked tix for them in Bristol next year. Everything Everything - They're my favourite band so I loved it when they were added. A great start to Sunday and met loads of their fans up near the front. Alex James Britpop - We enjoyed it and Gary Stringer FFS! David O'Doherty - Saw him twice, brilliant as usual. Self Esteem - Adore Rebecca and the show was as live affirming as always.   Overall, it was such a brilliant weekend. Beforehand we said that we might give it a miss next year but I'm pretty sure that we'll be sucked right back in!
    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
