announcement

[Martin Ashford]

Fleetwood Mac would be unbelievable. I'm seeing then in Birmingham but I also saw them two tours back in Wembley Arena. They are a tour de force live. Spine tingling stuff from Stevie Nicks and one of the best guitarists I've ever seen in Buckingham. He is a monster.

[Lord Rooster]

Seems like she has dropped off the radar a bit..was she ever one the rumors page?!

There was quite a stretch where it was believed by quite a few on here that she would quite likely be the Sunday headliner. I think this was back in November/December, though. She spent quite a bit of time as a strong rumour and was downgraded about a month back, maybe. She's still there, though.

[Bisque]

What happened to Taylor Swift?

[giantkatestacks]

Neil are you feeding us a diet of prejudice and misinformation?

[JoeyT]

Just had an unreal curry payed for by the missus parents and now caught up on 16 pages of entertainment.

A great night to say the least.

[Gucci Piggy]

Understand that Kings of Leon aren't that popular and probably don't suit festivals but Biffy are incredible live. Seen them five times.

Aye tbf Biffy are sick live. Their Leeds 2013 headline slot was one of the best headline sets I've seen. It was the best time I've seen them by far, though, and was clearly a special occasion to them, though I suppose headlining Glasto would be too.

But they won't do it this year. Probably next year.

Why? Are you feeling beaten

[shoptildrop]

Reminds me of a dream I had where someone chopped my nob off with a rusty spoon

Give you KOL as they are souless live these days but don't agree with Biffy as they put their all in their sets and are very enjoyable to watch (obviously if you don't like that time of music fair enough but wouldn't put them in the sh*t category)

Oh yeah! Completely missed her on the list. Not my cup of tea personally, just wondered why all the talk had died down.

Based on the new info, my money's on Blur I think. No complaints there.

[Andeeroo]

Are you getting lots of juicy info to share with us tomorrow then Neil?

[42hamlet]

I love Blur but hope it's not them purely cause I'm already seeing them the week before haha. I'd much rather see them at Glasto than BST but I dunno if I could sell my BST ticket since it doesn't seem to be selling out...

Pray to the gods it's Bowie. I'll dress up as a different one of his alter-egos for every day of the festival

[home to you]

I refuse to let myself believe the FM dream is back on!

Totally agree we'll be seeing them 12th June but if they get announced for Glasto too we'll be there...seen them twice now in 2009 & 2013 they are just amazing

2009 set was the best, playing Oh Well was a total highlight for me

[tomfestival_11]

If it is blur would they not announce it until after BST?

[FloorFiller]

yep, after BST / IOW seems likely, or at least, a lot closer to both

I'm going on 12th too. Right at the back but never mind

[Lord Rooster]

Depends entirely on ticket sales, I'd imagine. If it sells out prior to the day of the event there'd surely be no issue with an announcement at that point.

[Wooderson]

Fascinated to know if his Purpleness fucked The Eavae off again.

[tomfestival_11]

its gotta be blur really hasn't it. Same thing happened in 2010 when U2 couldn't play.. Gorillaz get booked. This year possibly tried to get prince,fell through- blur get booked. Damien albarn= glastos contingency plan.

It doesn't matter if you are at the back they sound really good even in the MEN...I remember seeing Foos there in 2007 and we were as high up at the back as you could get but that gig was just the best!!

I'm getting really excited for my giggage pre-Glastonbury

On the other hand...Fleetwood Mac have been saying for years that they'll do it. Maybe they finally cracked and thought 'fuck it let's just do it'.

if they're searching for a last minute replacement then it's gotta be hasn't it? can't think of any other reason that they'd leave it this late (the booking) and have to go for an act who themselves have ruled themselves out (assuming it's Blur, or even Mac)

[Martin Ashford]

What happened to Taylor Swift?

she is still rumoured for Pyramid and I STILL think she could end up headlininG if she's already in the running. It would be a travesty to have Florence over her.

[FuzzyDunlop]

From the news we have tonight. I cant see it being Swift or Florence headlining.

I can see both subbing.

Yes, especially if GFL have said we will match whatever Gidding is paying. Hmmmm
