Not if the rumours are true and they're ready to announce they've split up again.

That rumour was a joke made up by someone who later admitted it.

If Fleetwood Mac don't do it next year you have to wonder if they ever will. But do operations that size do one-off festivals? Are they still touring next year? I don't know.

Coldplay must be a reasonable bet - they'll be touring the shit out of the new album and won't have played for four years by then.

I suppose The Who have to be considered a possibility though I wouldn't be fussed.

Kate Bush would be great but seems so unlikely (file with Prince).

I would like to see D Mode do Sunday - think that would be a great fit.

Please not Iron Maiden/ACDC or any other lightweight heavy rock band though...

What u think of the usual nearly got all 3 booked quote?

'Someone' who I should listen to has suggested that I shouldn't take too much notice of what Michael says, so I'll be putting less trust in his words from now on.

Having said that, he probably does have loose verbal agreement with three acts (I know he did at this point last year) - tho the reality is that the acts lined up now are rarely all the same acts that'll end up playing, because plans tend to change.

Coldplay have already said they're not planning to do big gigs with their new album.

Sunday night appears to be the new slot for British bands to do their first pyramid stage headline slot..... Not sure who is likely at the moment, as long as it's not the 1975, who pre dolly were the worst live band I have seen, and I've watched the xfactor tour with fat Michelle.

Do you think Michael has much input in the headliners any more? It seemed like this year it was all about Emily booking the headliners, especially with Metallica thanking Emily on stage.

Fleetwood Mac seems like its going to happen, If I was guessing on a Sunday headliner Id say Radiohead.

Emily has told me that Michael took the final decision on Metallica as headliner, so he certainly still has meaningful input.

I can't be 100% sure, but I'd be quite surprised if there's not a lot of listening to each other's opinions over bands (because the difference in ages will sometimes give very different perspectives, I presume), with either one happy to go with the other's opinion at times - because Michael has said previously that Emily had made the Jay-Z decision.
