Libertines i reckon. would fit in to the 'they're probably British' (sic) comment that Michael made. don't think he could mistake Swift for being British

I think you need to let this quote from ME go. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then...

It's come from someone who has a 100% success rate with me - tho not for a huge number of items. So he either makes very good guesses, or he has a real source of info.

I believe he's right, but I only get to find out for sure when things get announced.

Bugger !

has there? as far as i can tell he was directly talking about The Who with this comment, and possibly the sub act as well. it's the most recent quote we have from him regarding the current headliner and sub, who he was definitely talking about at the time (not any previously 'booked' headliners etc)

Yeah, you could be right. It's just that the "British but..." quote seems to have been retrofitted to so many bands recently. At the time he said it I wonder if they had any certainty about the Sunday.

was only a couple of weeks ago - they must've had SOMEBODY in mind for that Sunday slot by then. i can't see them still phoning up acts asking 'd'you wanna sub Glastonbury!?'. it may not be The Libertines, but with Noel now seemingly ruled out, i can't think of many other British acts (or acts all together) who are touring around the time but not busy that night / have full touring schedules

well, this is what we're all assuming - it seems to add up considering they can only do the Sunday and the Sunday's Other headliner is seemingly Chemical Brothers (subbed by Jamie T). they may fit in elsewhere, but third on Pyramid seems the best bet

Jamie T is free everyday of the festival, why as everyone presumed he'll be Sunday, is there any solid info on that?

Personally really hoping there is no overlap between his set and the Who as I want to see both of them.

His booking agency have Sunday listed on their website.

Kraftwerk is an interesting one. Maybe not under The Who. But I'm surprised they have not been involved at all over the last few years.

The only UK appearance that comes to mind is the Latitude headline slot. They have been in and around Europe non stop for the last few years. But nothing in the UK.

They headlined Bestival about five years ago. It was feckin brilliant!

    • I don't think a whole raft of attendees who've been going every year since the mid 90s and mid 10s collectively all thinking the festival is no longer for us suggests we've all aged out of it at the same time. Something fundamental has changed and its pretty obvious what that is. The fact that theyve managed to skinny down the line up so much AND STILL get punters in is a real credit to the bookers, filling it with enough of the current thing to get the kids excited for a weekend while pulling in enough big names to make it worth a day out for the casual Florence fan etc... is impresive. Re Leeds: Annecdotally, from videos, numbers have looked tiny vs Reading, esp on the camping end of things, it would be good to know the official numbers and how much they're down from the peak sell out years
    • Found it, it simply is at the toilets.

    • I mean she's never going to admit it, but of course she would do a deal...same as Labour would with lib-dems/greens if meant getting into government.
    • They probably do make more from the festival. But take a look at an aerial photo from any year - there's always a few fields that would be viable for festival related use yet are left empty. I guess they just don't want to deal with the associated hassle.
