Headliners 2015

[yellowsnow]

If Glastonbury are in talks with Prince, I'm guessing they will do anything they can to get him, as long as it takes? So if he has certain demands before he signs the contract then I'm willing to wait!

[Wooderson]

His Purple Highness won't sign for a few weeks - if he does. CalGon is dead right, we stand upon a knife edge.

And Neil you sly old fox - you've known this since Feb.

[eFestivals]

The fact it seems like it's not Swift but Bowie and Prince are possible Neil, does that suggest any sort of clue about it being a male headliner?

yes, it suggests male, and someone the fest has been after for a long time.

[dj_tim]

Assuming Prince is the headliner with Florence as the back up, the problem they would have is that they couldn't release a poster with Florence on as well as a TBC, only to then announce Florence as the headliner should Prince fall through.

They could just not announce Florence but then everyone would be working out who the subs are etc and it could get complicated.

[Icewulf]

Prince, Bowie, McCartney... at least we're back on the right track now.

Still wish it was Taylor Swift though...

[Gnomicide]

Not having the headliner (thirdeyeblinder) lined and being prepared to bump up Flo makes sense as to why the line up isn't out.

If this is the case then they couldn't issue with a tbc and include Flo on the bill because if they then released a second poster with her as the headliner, it would be obvious she was only there as they failed to get someone else.

That probably would not look good for all concerned.

Prince or Bowie seem to be the 2 names that stick out to me then.

[ThomThomDrum]

And Neil you sly old fox - you've known this since Feb.

He aint going to admit that until the announcement is made and even then he may say nothing..................

4th headliner?

[eFestivals]

And Neil you sly old fox - you've known this since Feb.

I'm loving your regular wrong accusations.

[eFestivals]

Prince or Bowie seem to be the 2 names that stick out to me then.

yep, with me too.

And of those two I think Prince is the most likely, tho i don't think Bowie is impossible.

Either way its going to be good!!

[Mouseboy11]

I'm loving your regular wrong accusations.

Do you think a lineup is likely anytime soon then? Even without the third headliner?

[CaledonianGonzo]

If you'd suggested Madonna to headline Glastonbury in the 1990s everyone would have laughed at you.

[wozwebs]

Not Adele then?

[ThomThomDrum]

And of those two I think Prince is the most likely, tho i don't think Bowie is impossible.

Well this should keep this thread steam rolling for a while longer!

[eFestivals]

is that like how it was definitely going to be coldplay? im trusting noone to get my hopes up this time around not even efests! haha

the info I'm working from could be wildly wrong, I can offer no guarantees, and I'm stitching a few bits together and might have done that wrongly.

But, from what I've heard, I do think it's more likely I'm on the right path than not. But I'm relying on what people have told me, and I've no way of knowing for sure if that's true.

[Wellyboot]

Why are they pandering to that purple prat.

Give us the line up

[01seb]

I'm thinking it's Prince or Bowie, with Florence subbing.

Therefore I can't see the lineup poster released until Thursday at the earliest. Because they need to lock in the third headliner before they can announce Florence too...

[kingcrawler]

Noel Gallagher's playing in Austria for the money it's not him

I don't think he's actually playing Austria, that was just his way of putting across that he won't be there. Bit like when he was asked if he'd be at Ed Sheeran's Wembley gigs and he said he'd be in somewhere like Kazakhstan playing for half the fee.

[eFestivals]

Do you think a lineup is likely anytime soon then? Even without the third headliner?

The 3rd headliner might be along soon-ish, perhaps, but I don't think more names will come this week (unless perhaps one or two names along with the 3rd headliner)

[Mezhyp1]

Van Morrison third down would be brilliant, I would defo watch that. I take it that was the info you had heard JoeyT?

Bowie would be much preferred personally, I just can't vision either of them despite the info

[FrancisH]

I don't care what Neil or anybody else says, it's the Roses and I'll continue to believe so until I am bitterly disappointed come announcement.

[eFestivals]

I think the amount of secrecy around it all this year its more then likly feeding people false information would be a part of that, dont take any offense I wouldnt belive anything that wasnt out of either eavis`s mouth right now and even that I might wonder if he was just having a laugh

I've more reason to think what i've recently heard is good than most other things.

[matt2007]

Just played Bowie on 6music, it must be him......

[The Nal]

Van Morrison third down would be brilliant, I would defo watch that. I take it that was the info you had heard JoeyT?

Bowie would be much preferred personally, I just can't vision either of them despite the info

People may complain if Bowie was billed third down
