announcement

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Perhaps this (wednesday) is the announcement about an announcement.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Do you mean supporting them? Is that Megadog gig the weekend before then?

Im on before. No, its a small club night in manchester. Psytrance and Techno.

I have heard that there are gigs at glastonbury really late in the day on small stages if you speak to someone in the know. Im going to have a word and see if Merv knows who I can speak to.

Could have been Taylor Swift Sunday but she has cancelled due to her mum being ill.

Could be Madonna getting cold feet after album not doing as well and tour not selling as well as expected.

Could be purple one being a dick.

Who knows what has caused this but if they have it sorted or very nearly sorted now then we should get something soon, hopefully Wednesday.

Do you think it will be stage split or just names all over the shop?

[Keithy]

Still dreaming that it's Biffy Or Kings Of Leon.

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

God I love you sometimes Russy. Great post.

[Keithy]

Do you think they would do 3 nights in a row though?

I'm sure as a 'one-off' to do an iconic festival like Glastonbury, 3 nights in a row wouldn't be an issue.

[morph100]

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

[T-Mouse]

So, if the line up rumours page is to be believed, Blur are more likely to be the headliners than his royal purpleness and the big Mac?

[Matt42]

Think Neil is subtly trying to tell us he reckons out of all of them Blur is more likely

seems very very familiar to when he first when out and said that Metallica were headlining last year.

Looking at just that page, no...

Indeed there are a lot of small stages up the Common, Block 9, Shangri La areas that have DJS and stuff playing psytrance all night long. Parties around every corner. Its the main reason I still love the festival. Good luck!

[Earthwindandfire2205]

That would be amazing but I can guarantee no one will go with me

I will you won't miss me in my orange suit

[LondonTom]

He's been on the sauce

What happened to Taylor Swift?

Everyone got over their 13 year teenage girl phase I think

Possible Wednesday Announcement = Good

Hot Chip on WH = Good, on Friday = Crap

George Clinton providing the first option against Kanye = Fantastic

A mixed bag there Neil! A real mixed bag!

I am hoping The Who has more to it, than just Scottie being on the sauce

[craigyb31]

Wonder why. Maybe coz still finalising?

Exactly

[bennyboi]

This sums up my chuffedness

[jamesrfisher]

Why is everyone saying Blur have been asked and doing a favour? If they had problems with the Sunday headliner and needed to turn to someone else then why not Flo given all that Emily has said about her, about bumping up and about more females? Not saying I think it is her, just that don't think it would be Blur, I have been known to be wrong however!

[Purple aki squat]

Ah bollocks to Prince.

It'll be Bowie

[Lord Rooster]

I am hoping The Who has more to it, than just Scottie being on the sauce

Unless they're willing and able to rearrange their show in Paris I think you're out of luck there.

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

[Samhodson95]

this doesnt help my resale chances :9 hahaha fab

[T-Mouse]

Precisely. Perhaps Neil's extra info will tidy things up tomorrow, but this whole debacle screams an existing "exclusive" headliner with another festival being allowed to save the day.

Expects blur.

Prays for The Mac.

[fatyeti24]

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

because it'd be a weak headliner, so they may as well get everybody as excited as possible with as much line-up-goodness as they can before sneaking Flo in close to the festival, and hoping people won't mind too much.

i'm caling it 'The Metallica Maneuver'

[LondonTom]

This is my hope!

[CHRLY]

Prince - Still holding out, my no. 1 hope.

Blur - Was excited about the prospect when they first announced their reunion, considerably less bothered now.

Fletwood Mac - Worst of the options for me, don't like their music and think it'd be bad considering Mick told fans to give back their tickets cause they wouldn't be there.

[the wonderwhy]

No way are The Who going to move their show.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Hot Chip on west Holts - Woohoo

What is the evidence I demand to know
