Keeping British acts coming through to put them in a position to headline seems more about them playing lower down to me rather than headlining now.

That's a fair comment. She said that in relation to Kasabian playing on the Sunday last year, but it could equally apply to lower placed acts. Personally, I couldn't give a toss if they're British. The quality is more important to me. Is there anyone who'd prefer Noel Gallagher over Prince?

I honestly think it could be Sheeran. He's at the height of his fame right now .. And would tick the solo artist, from UK, bump up etc.

I know he's in San Fransisco on Friday 26th June .. But he could fly back next day .. Play on the Saturday and get back to Denver for the 29th June. Quite easy with the hours you get back flying to the USA.

He doesn't have a band he would need to bring, and I'm sure he'd be fully up for doing it. This opportunity may never happen again for him .. His 3rd album could flop and he could be back busking on the streets.

Put this on this forum afew months gao, my friend who works for a tour booking agency in Dublin heard that Glasto were 'lining him up'. But he hardly seems like he would give Glasto the run around.

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.

Is this what you heard yesterday or new info on top of what you heard yesterday that made you question Prince?

Has anyone made a jump in position as big as that without any new material?

Apart from Florence (and her band) I cannot now put a name down of a single Solo act as per yesterday's thinking that it could be.

Maybe we should discuss bands again, have we mentioned any recently :sarcastic:

Or maybe just slowly accept that you may well be getting flo? :P

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
