Headliners 2015

[suzie sue]

Seems like they are answering questions on Twitter

[robu]

It said "all should be revealed 2morrow" (ie today)

Given that today is April 1st, it's just as likely that the restaurant at which Michael Eavis was supposedly eating yesterday is pulling an April Fool's Day stunt.

fuck offf fuck offf fuck offff

i was soooo excited...

Me too. But you have to admit, Metastasis is a pretty good Radiohead name, although it's more the kind of title you'd see on a Thom Yorke solo album.

This looks like the most genuine of everything I've come across in this thread.

Agreed. I can't see why they'd make that up and put their business name to it. Part of me would like to think ME caught wind of them eavesdropping and made it all up just to fuck with them, but the other half wishes it's true.

They didn't mention 12 noon though, did they? Where did that bit come from?

[JoBalls]

We are all paid up!!

I feel like we're not really helping to convince them to release the name of the 3rd headliner by paying up immediately as soon as the balance window opened, but I got too excited!!

Guessing people just assumed it would be after 12pm to avoid April fools nonsense.

As discussed yesterday afternoon on the 'when will we get an announcement thread' (yes, there are threads other than this one folks!), there was also this tweet by a girl who seems to work there:

Emmm‏@emilyyambrosini

Michael Eavis and his wife are discussing the other acts for Glastonbury Festival at work today

[eFestivals]

they're just making it up to get themselves some publicity.

[Crazyfool01]

Im off to stake out the pub will let you know when ME arrives

[01seb]

I can't see it being till sometime this evening, if it does happen today.

[Icewulf]

This makes a lot of sense.

Has anyone been there? Do they seem like the type?

[wozwebs]

What publicity though, a few obsessives like us on this forum discussing it? Her tweet was hardly going to make it into the national press

[Brave Sir Robin]

Yes, either they and the girl who works there are publicly lying, or, alternatively, Michael and his wife had lunch at a local bar/restaurant and, given the time of year, were discussing acts for the festival. I know which seems more likely to me!

Quite - it doesn't seem like that kind of venue really, and in itself, it's not big enough news to get them any attention aside from us fanatical lunatics! It all seems quite plausible to me.

So what time does this Aprils fool thing end? Midday? So really after then it could actually come at any moment?

I can't imagine local businesses wanting to piss the Eavii off, and the consequences of outright lying would surely outweigh any small boost in publicity.

I doubt Michael was discussing the festival acts with his wife in a public place, don't you?

I don't doubt Michael was there. The rest of it is very likely to have been their own inventions tho.

I don't see what benefit it would bring them, there's a possibility it's true that they made it up, but it'd be a bit weird really... almost negative press when people realise they lied.

some endearing naivety on display here today.

I don't think there's any reason to think these people are lying or inventing anything. As others have said, pissing off the Eavii (and others, like us), would be really stupid.

Wasn't there a comment from the place saying that there was a group of GF staff accompanying them? It makes it a bit more feasible that it would be the subject. Though I doubt any secrets were disclosed.

I still don't think it will be today.

[sloseph]

for some reason I've kind of got my hopes up for an announcement at 12:01 today

i know it's not going to happen but the closer we get to that time the more excited i'm getting

there's going to be tears

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

Theory: the Eavii drop bands into their conversations so people think they're talking about the line-up.

Example:

"so where should we - DAFT PUNK AND RADIOHEAD - go for dinner tonight?"

"not sure, Michael, how about - AC/DC and PRINCE - nandos?"

Solved.

[Space Shanty]

I think people need to stop and think.

Would a business like this not enjoy a wee April Fools joke as well?

Of course it would.

And it's no wonder when you see the reaction
