This has well and truly knackered any plans I had to actually do some work today.

Damn you efests!

[Wooderson]

Still chuckling here at Jimmy Nail.

[eFestivals]

Pretty sure Neil did imply it was a male artist earlier.

yup, that's what I heard said.

[Fivefingerjohn]

It's george michael

[GlastoSimon]

No one has mentioned Elton John over all this....

He's ruled out isn't he? Some festival in Belgium or something

EDIT: Austria actually, Leipzig if I recall

That's because he's playing in Germany that night

... kitty?

[Bobinup]

male solo artist with a band backing him......hmm....alice cooper?,

Sto suggesting Alice Cooper, you utter numpty.

[Ipayne]

Gilmour? Probably not big enough, but worth a shout

[FakeEmpire]

I mentioned before that I was told that Elton was playing (although didn't specify whether he was headlining or not) by someone who works for an events company who booked Elton for one of his stadium gigs in June. Apparently he's playing in Germany that night though so it can't be him (does anyone have the link to this festival he's playing that night btw?)

It's part of his tour I believe.

IMO - Foos, Kanye & Prince is a pretty disappointing set of headliners for the greatest festival on the planet.

However, for me, it's all about West Holts, Acoustic and Avalon, so not really bothered.

I totally agree with this and all these lot shot me down when I said this, it's not weak, in fact it's very good but there's something about it that's just a bit meh

hmmm .... someone has just said something to me which suggests its not Prince, tho that could really be the result of keeping up deceptions.

But anyway, who else could it be that's be that's a massive act, a solo(ish) star, and an act they've been after for years? Give me names, people!

Bob Dylan (Cant Sing anymore)

Kylie Minogue (not massive anymore)

Taylor Swift (Trying for years? I think not!)

Robbie Williams (lol?)

Noel Gallaghers HFB (Latitude and recent comments suggest no)

Madonna (recent suggestions make this unlikely

Rhianna (trying for years maybe not but no doubt she's big enough in terms of record sales)

Billy Joel (nah)

Phil Collins (could you fucking imagine? Glastonbury would never recorver...)

I've tried Neil.

All roads lead to purple

Edit:

Elton John (supposedly busy)

Sir Cliff (...)

Maybe Jake Bugg is making the natural step up after wowing the crowd last year.

[Jpw48]

Three words: "retired" and "heart condition".

He managed to keep The Next Day a secret until it was announced, when everybody thought he'd never record again. Doesn't seem too far fetched that he might want a final show to round off his career. Plus there were rumours of a second new album a few weeks back which might prove to be the perfect way to promote it? It won't have the surprise factor of TND going for it after all.

If it is I will bake you a cake. That's a promise.

I'll hold you to that. One enormous blueberry muffin would do the trick, feel free to follow me around the site all weekend holding it too, for when I eventually get peckish.

My money is on Bowie.

It's not a festival he's doing, just a gig

[pentura]

Solo artist with backing band?

None other than Figrin Dan and the Modal Nodes!

[Djb.com]

Gilmour? Probably not big enough, but worth a shout

Not to headline but maybe to play, same for waters, though if he was doing the wall shows he could headline i suppose

[FrancisH]

Dylan is free on the Sunday night (sandwiched between two Italy dates mind)...


Edit: beaten to it by the post above!

With People questioning Ian brown's voice, Just seen a suggestion for Bob Dylan.

[dentalplan]

eric claptop?

The racist computer.

I know what you mean, tho I'd say Bowie can't be ruled out - he fits the bits I heard - even if it seems unlikely.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I don't think I spoke to a single person that night who was at C&S.

Anyone on here go? Curious to know how busy it was (not curious enough to endure any footage).

I watched the Stones for about 45 minutes, and what I saw I enjoyed but the sound was terrible from the very back of the field (past the tree) and the noise of people chatting annoyed me so I caught the second half of Chase & Status. And loved it.
