Sadly, I don't think so.

[5co77ie]

thought not

anyone got any idea what this Calvin Harris 'Outside' production will be?

[CC22]

William Hill reopened last night but then closed again soon after. don't think any others are open at this moment in time

Cheers, will have to keep an eye out in that case. Do they just sporadically open and shut them then?

yeah seems that way! people on here often mention them being reopened (it;s how i've found out about them, anyway) so best to keep an eye out, although this late on it's probably unlikely that they'll reopen again

It will be shit.

Have you seen the Eric Prydz 4K hologram production and tests? He used some last october.

Some new tests are on his facdbook page.

I'd love that, other stage headliner. It wont happen, but it would be amazing

Yeah, I thought that would probably be the case. Suspect they'll all be shut now permanently.

So Flo is downgraded to an 'R' looks like it's not happening then!

So it's March and we have one confirmed headliner, an SR for the sunday night slot (playing four nights on the trot)

and we have that billy user claiming that the saturday headliner has 'done it before and nailed it' and the sunday act has never played before.

This time last year we knew our headliners! Just let that sink in...

That will just be based on the Melvin Benn quote and Neil thinking she's more likely for Bestival though.

[FloorFiller]

the 'done it before and nailed it' thing is clearly about Blur - are people really taking what this bigbilly guy has said as truth though?

not me, but it's all we've got and as it pans out it could be what's happening.

FFS! I can't bloody afford to get tickets still I hope to see him at glastonbury!

if he's to be trusted, i'd put my money on it being Blur. a lot of acts have 'nailed it', but only one of them is playing a huge gig down the road a week prior

Neil Young?

The Cure?

Radiohead?

[incident]

Random obscure theory - John Fogerty has played the festival before and absolutely nailed it, albeit not on the Pyramid stage.

He's doing a tour focused on the early CCR albums (ie full of classics) and has a gap until 30th June.

NOW we're talking.

I'd love him to play but not a headliner.

Re: those that have nailed it, surely Blur is the only feasible option?

[Gucci Piggy]

Billy big bollocks also said the Saturday headliner has previously played the Sunday and nailed it.

His subsequent posts also showed the Sunday act he was talking about was Fleetwood Mac, and you were the one moaning at others for suggesting them, Matt, so it's odd that you're bringing up his info after that.

[DomDom1984]

A band nailing it is subjective of course. So once again, it's another meaningless term not worth thinking about.

[incident]

I'm thinking back - from memory I'm sure that Michael said something along the lines that Fogerty normally would've been a Pyramid headline act, but only became available to the festival after the lineup was largely set which is why he ended up playing down the bill.

Maybe they've decided now is the time for him to come back and kill it on the big stage.

Who is this billy big nads anyway, he's probably just second guessing using the rumours to try and come up with something cryptic to make people think

[MichaelsBeard]

Blur just doesn't feel right to me. I can't see why they'd want to do it again so soon after nailing it last time. Likewise, I don't think the festival would be keen to rebook them so soon.

I'm still going with Foos, Kanye, Swift.

Ah, well if he also suggested FM we can forget it.

But there are some acts that are (kind of) universally accepted to have 'nailed it'.
