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.

    • Love him in in the next interview to say. "Oh f**k off i give up, what's the point in trying it's far to hard. Let some other c**t have go and see how they get on" Unplugs mic, cracks a can of special brew, and wonders off
    • and still twenty one pilots must have a very persuasive management team, unless they are still rearranging the schedule, still seems really odd. 
    • Phew, been waiting a while for a statement like this.     Well at least a few days since the last one
    • And there we go.  Bleech 9:3 added 
    • The only number I can find is 90k, but it doesn't really break it down in the way you're asking so it is up in the air in that regard. My only thing here is that I don't think Leeds is in danger or is flagging in sales. I thought last year had an awful lineup so I opted out but apparently a hell of a lot of people decided to go, so I really do believe it is just us lot all being out of touch with what the modern R&L audience wants.   I do think this year has a good lineup although I know a lot of people on here disagree with that, so I am gonna be there and we shall see what it is like on the ground this year in terms of attendance.
