Dee - I'm asking outright.

Who is the third headliner?

[Woffy]

they're two different things

care to divulge as you are keeping me up.... i spend a day away from efests and miss all this!!

You can't ask Dee that dude!

Go to bed!

I'm sure she'll tell you at the efests meet on the Wednesday!

Imagine, if after a 1500+ page thread working mostly on the assumption that that quote from ME was claptrap, it turned out to be true. Gahhhhhh.

[Novoselic]

See post above!

Wasn't asking you bud. Unless you know?

[Funkyfairy!]

Thanks Neil :-)

I thought I'd have 5 mins on the iPad before sleep ....... Now I can't sleep after reading this thread

Secretly hoping for blur even though the rest of the gang won't be excited , they all want Fleetwood or prince

[sheffieldlady]

I also am overly excited. Sod the headliner, looking forward to some of the other names on the line up!

[incident]

"He's British but the band aren't" leads me to believing it's Bowie or Macca. I had a dream a couple weeks ago that I lost my ticket and Bowie was announced as third headliner so it must be true. If he isn't I'm going back to sleep.

If, as it seems, we're talking about a probably late replacement, then a quote from 10 months ago probably isn't that relevant?

Fleetwood Mac have started dropping Seven Wonders and Songbird from their very rigid setlist the last 2 weeks.

Apparently Stevie and Christine haven't been doing them justice.

Whether that makes them a better or a worse bet to play 3 nights on the bounce i'm not sure.

Personally I reckon there's a Taylor Swift link here, with her mum being ill.

She might need to see how serious she is before she commits to anything in June.

They couldn't just leave it blank and go "Very Special Guest TBA" and bring Blur or Florence in though.

Both of them have played before.

Gah, that's easily in my top three F'Mac tunes, they best restore it soon. Can appreciate that it'd be jolly difficult to perform every night though, just in terms of channeling the necessary emotion never mind the technicalities of it. Edited April 12, 2015 by Zac Quinn

To not finish a gig with Songbird seems a little weird like.

Hopefully they bring it back for the European leg.

Anyone gonna summarise for the alcoholics?

What are they finishing with instead, Don't Stop? Not such a fan, although for the more the more party-keen punters that'd probably go down much better as a 'last song of Glastonbury' than poor ol' Songbird.

[Bubblecup]

It's going to be someone who' "exclusive" somewhere else and until glastonbury or their "exclusive" festival is officially sold out then we wont know. Personally would love it to be blur, as long as it's their back catalogue as a setlist :-)

Announcement Wednesday - probably although not definitely - which won't include the third headliner, which in turn is most likely not Prince. Fleetwood Mac and Blur back on the rumours page tho Neil has insinuated that he doesn't know who it is.

Nah, hasn't affected the rest of her world tour.

I still think Prince is in the mix. Neil hasn't been categorical that it's not him and the level of secrecy is very telling. It's quite possible they're doing a number on everyone who thinks they know. ME is now on record giving false and contradictory information (knowingly or not) and it could all be part on one big purple cover up. He's certainly in a different league to most of the other candidates.

She has told fans that Andrea won't be at as many shows as normal. She usually goes to them all.

[FloorFiller]

yes but Taylor will still be at all of the shows, right? so it changes nothing concerning her being booked

[eFestivals]

Has George Clinton ever played with the family stone? That could make sense for Saturday west holts headliner?

it sounds like it could, yep.

[Mezhyp1]

it sounds like it could, yep.

Are you ready to explain all from last night Neil

[eFestivals]

Right, this is what I heard last night....

I'm pretty sure that there'll be an announcement this week (said by more than one person, tho press said "we know nothing"), and someone who should know told me Wednesday. I don't know what time it might be.

An announcement this week won't include the 3rd headliner, so I was told.

The 3rd headliner won't be announced until June, I was told. I was told this was because the act was "doing other shows".

By the sounds of things - tho I'm not sure (I did ask Emily, but I'm uncertain of what she said back due to noise) - it seems that the 3rd headliner is something that been put together in the last week(ish).

I heard (that i believe was really said) that Michael has said within the last week that the 3rd headliner is not Fleetwood Mac. I also heard similar saying 'not Prince'.

So make your guesses about that act.

(one of the guesses we made last night was The Who, which you lot quickly killed by pointing out they were in Paris that night)

----

So we heard, Hot Chip will headline West Holts on Friday, with WH Saturday headlined by George Clinton playing the 'Sly' role with the Family Stone as a special one-off. ...which today, sober, sounds like it might be a tall story, but perhaps it's not.

We also heard some other bits and pieces, which are listed on the line-ups page (which |'m just going to check over and perhaps tweak one or two).

[jamesrfisher]

Why would they delay announcing the last headliner if it was Flo?

Although I was ruling out Blur myself I was also trying to say I don't think it will be Flo, as what not just announce her.

Sorry, too much beer, wine and whiskey last night.
