from the Blur website

Blur are confirmed to headline the Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday June 13. Tickets are available now at www.isleofwightfestival.com/tickets

With BST Hyde Park on June 20 - ticket still available at www.bst-hydepark.com - this completes the band's UK festival appearances for 2015.

It's almost like they put that in there just to wind us up a little bit more.

I think that would be quite an underwhelming booking, just had her least succesful album ever, not had a decent single in years, is sadly eroding her past glories by refusing to put her muff away.

Now I'm firmly in the no Madonna camp, as I can't see it being likely...

However it does seem like Glasto are very eager to get acts who have never headlined/played before

Metallica, foo fighters, Kanye west, the Rolling Stones etc

They even specified in Kanye's announcement very loudly that he had 'never played before'.

So I can see why someone like or similar to madonna would be on their list - seems like they are pushing harder t get the last few remaining acts who haven't done it!

Nothing to do with her being one of the biggest selling/most famous performers on the planet. Nah, crucial thing is she hasn't played before. Stress that point.

Oh for fucks sake wooderson I even stated in my comment

Biggest acts who've never played before!

Hmmm, pushing harder you say.

It's Cliff

I'm just relating this to Neil's previous comments about a possible shared act and Gittings comment about not topping Glastonbury.

I can't really remember what context I might have said that within now, but I'd guess it was because they both still had headliners to announce. They have shared headliners in the past.

Anyway, whatever I might have meant, it's not my thinking now. I believe that Blur are NOT headlining Glasto, tho I don't discount the possibility of being wrong.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they did a 'secret' show of some kind tho, just on the basis that I know Damon and Emily are fairly chummy.

Madonna is at a commercial dip in her career, her new label isn't pushing her as hard, the mainstream chart shows aren't interested anymore & she's obviously still desperate for publicity/relevance.

A successful headline performance at Glastonbury could do wonders for her, so go figure...

If she's ever going to do it, this is the year.

Why not next year when her tour is up and running?

So who's still in the running then?

Stone Roses

T Swizzle

P*****

Radiohead

Kings of Leon

Ed Sheeran

Madonna

KoL are playing in America on the Thursday. Sheeran is playing in America on the Friday as well as the Monday after. Fair enough that does not technically make it impossible for them to play but it does make them less likely than Take That.

ABBA will be the biggest booking the festival has ever made when it (eventually) happens.

If they turned down a billion quid to reform they ain't doing it for Glasto's pitiful fee, surely

I love how they put that as if they're doing loads.

Knowing how Madonna usually operates, she's much more likely to do a big event like Glastonbury prior to her tour for the publicity, rather than towards the end of her tour... She has done festival dates prior to big tours in the past, she's never done one during a tour (as far as I know). Edited by Frankly Mr Shankly

Shangri-La have just tweeted a link to a running countdown.

Edit: can't be arsed to see when what time it counts down to.

It might be the case that particular areas - the smaller stages - have been given dates they're allowed to announce on, that are unrelated to any major announcement.
