It was Emily that told Scott that Flo wouldn't be headlining. Do sources get any better than that?

Any chances that it could be a case of 'true at the time' (e.g. Stevie Wonder in 2010)? This Florence/Prince situation is very reminiscent of last year.

A solo male artist with a backing band that has a new album out this year, made one of the biggest selling albums ever, been around for many years, never (as far as I am aware) played Glastonbury before... it must surely be Meat Loaf :)

(By this I am not necessarily suggesting I *want* it to be this, but one of his songs was on the radio and it occurred to me that he kind of fitted the loose description that Neil mentioned the other day so figured I might as well post something for the first time in about five years)

Personally I am hoping it will be Jeff Wayne (male "soloist") conducting his band with a rendition of "The War of the Worlds" and featuring David Bowie singing Justin Hayward's part of the journalist to round off the weekend with an epic musical.

something new.

And if his Flo source is where he's told me it is, it should be good. Then again, that person might not actually know and could be presuming - and given the general secrecy, I wouldn't be surprised.

After all, each person that gets told is another person who could leak it, and anyone who does get told is likely to tell at least one other person.

This was my thinking...also I guess it depends a lot on when exactly that information was passed on.

I can, too.

While I wouldn't say that rules him out entirely, it's lessened my thinking towards it being Prince.

Back to the drawing board.

Back to the drawing board for 'male solo artist with backing band' or is the drawing board now blank?

It's mad this year

Take the "never playing Glastonbury before" out of that sentence...... And it points to Ian Brown and his band :D

I'd expect something a little more rocky up against Kanye but think they'd work just as well up, maybe too well!

To avoid the inevitable backlash, they've tricked us into believing they were trying for somebody else (e.g. Prince) but had to settle for Florence instead .. When she has been booked all along!!

Touché Emily and co .... Touché.

If they really don't have a 3rd headliner yet, does that point to them missing out on all of their would be top choices to other festivals? You would guess Blur, Fleetwood Mac and possibly Prince? I'm just hoping its not Florence.

    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots! 
    • If they fancy chucking something together last knockings, i'm up for it! 😄 Got to get a cat sitter, but i'm 95% there
