Here's my noobie wishful-thinking theory about the third headliner, take it with a grain of salt.

Could it possibly be Radiohead?

Neil says that he heard talks about Radiohead being the final headliner.

They have not played in a long time.

It is a known fact that they are currently in studio recording for their new album expected sometime this year possibly. Previous 2 LP they released were surprise releases (In Rainbows and TKOL)

Maybe between now and Glasto they're gonna srprise release their new LP, and knowing how close they are with the festival (Stanley Donwood design Glasto posters and stuff), the festival agree to not announcing them until they have release their new album.

Here's hoping...

June. Its Fleetwood Mac or Blur. If we ignore everything that both bands have said with regards to playing this year, then it could be either equally. On the one hand, Blur played not too long ago, but on the other hand FM would have to play loads of nights in a row. Either way, they both make a lot more sense (assuming it is one of them), than putting Taylor Swift or Florence as headliners alongside FF and Kanye.

It was a few weeks ago, don't think Neil took it that seriously and never really mentioned it after that

Coming to them for the first time? Just jump straight in with Rumours - get that album down and you've already swatted up on every song that 90% of the crowd will be there for, sadly. Edited April 12, 2015 by Zac Quinn

Here:

am hearing another name getting shouted louder - tho I think it's really only people jumping on any possible name as they don't know differently.

Radiohead.

I don't think there's anything to it, but you never know.

Although, he did say afterwards when confronted why they arent on the rumours page:

Nope, and neither are Stone Roses.

Perhaps there's a reason why I haven't added them?

So, there's that, but you never know.. I'm pretty sure Neil have been wrong before..

Very much so. On my second listen of Rumours as that's what I did, jumped straight to that! I'd like to get to know more though, what else should I go for?

The biggest 'hits' that aren't on that record are probably Little Lies and Everywhere, if you're looking for another album though I'd go for Tusk next Edited April 12, 2015 by Zac Quinn

Just put it on now. Didn't realise how much of Rumours I already knew.

It's crazy how many hits are on that record, it's no wonder it's one of the biggest selling of all time really when you think about it like that.

On a similar note - you'll quite possibly know 'Landslide', from the second selftitled album, through other bands (if not on its own merit). Smashing Pumpkins in particular did a very well-known cover of it.

I envy you! what a great band they were!

It was a fairly underwhelming affair though unfortunatley.

As was Ian Brown later on.

Beautiful Child, wow.

It's Fleetwood Mac. I know it, Neil knows it.

[Fivefingerjohn]

Any reason why the verve are most so searched on iTunes. Seems random

[kalifire]

Blur are not a "HUGE" act. Popular, yes. But they're not Fleetwood Mac or Prince or Bowie. A Blur announcement would disappoint me.

Nightmare clash scenario: Hot Chip on WH / Caribou at Park. Both could headline. Both could clash.

[Spindles]

After Rumours try Tango in the night, I'm no fan, but it's full of their later hits.

[Comfy Bean]

This hot chip news :-)

[Splatt]

Please be the Mac. If not now I can't see them ever doing it.

[amyrockslots]

Why?

He may not have been asked!

Good point...I was being irrational in my disappointment......onwards!

[Spindles]

Please be the Mac. If not now I can't see them ever doing it.

I have to say that I don't see all the excitement myself, but if they were up against an average set of headliners elsewhere I'd probably wander over just because there are 4 or 5 of their songs I like. Both my children are much bigger fans of them than I am.

I am now hoping for a complete curveball, someone none of us have even considered.

Clocked this earlier - can't see there being a worse clash all festival for me

Depeche Mode!!!
