Glastonbury don't have the money to get Daft Punk to do a one off festival performance. i imagine festivals like Coachella have thrown millions their way to no avail

Yep, I would say that's probably right. Just thinking of a few names to throw in there. It just seems there's so much mystery that there might be a spanner in the works.

the most likely outcome for that spanner in the works would be Prince (in fact, one of the main reasons his name is now being brought up is because of all the mystery surrounding the final headliner). or it could just be Florence and we're all blind to it because of Emily's interview. but hopefully not the latter. what an anti-climax that'd be

My favourite is when people throw in someone, saying it will be them, but actually they're not very good/completely unsuitable - and then from there the humour arises. The likes of 'I hope it's.. S-Club 7/Five/The Bay City Rollers'.

People have been pulling this crazy sh1t for years - and it never fails to make me laugh!

The fact we are resorting to prince by process of elimination means it's gotta be florence...

No criticisms to neil but I have a feeling the fact he depsises her has led him to chase more info suggesting she's not playing than she is :P

Does he have any info on her other than Emily's word? I think he just put more faith in that than some of us did.

Edit: I've also seen no more hatred of Florence from him that any other potential headliner.

the flo info I've got is exacty the same as everyone else's, those filmed/heard/read words of Emily's.

Emily categorically states that Flo isn't headlining, so unless Emily has decided to tell porkies Flo isn't headlining.

I don't want to criticise neil, but lining her up as likely for Bestival was completely his doing - which was later proved not true. He's been very verbal in the fact he doesn't like her, and I'm sure he probably wouldn't actively go looking for florence info to see if she was headlining.

Yes the interview was (and still is) the only time where we've been told she wasn't headlining.

I was doubting if Florence was heading or not then I reread Emily's quote rather it being paraphrased and it seems pretty clear she isn't:

"Everyone has said it's someone, but sorry about that, it's not Coldplay."

The same goes Florence Welch. "She started on the smaller stage, and now she's worthy of the headliner slot," says Eavis. "I think she's great, I can't give anything away. She's not going to be headlining, but she could be."

Him lining her up for Bestival was based on taking Emily's words as truth. He's also been very verbal in his disliking of Prince but has said (I think?) that he's currently the most likely headliner. You're looking for things that aren't there, Matt.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
