announcement

[thewayiam]

A big name surprise. Like Jack White last year.

It's likely to be Flo more than anyone, it won't be a bigger name so to speak but in terms of act I'd say it will.

[rubenz]

Katy Perry is on the rumours page, can anyone shed any more light on this?

[Matt42]

Do that again.

No but seriously

That wouldnt be a surprise though. She is heavily rumoured.

I mean more like the fact last year, he wasn't talked about and then "bang, he is on the poster"

She was added because she had an announcement at the end of March, which turned out to be a dvd or something I think.

Actually on reconsideration and looking at dates and stuff that all of that could be right...

only one i'm not sure of is Iggy Pop

I think you meant immediate disappointment, it's not going to be Kate Bush

I know, hence the 'inevitable disappointment' bit. I just don't want to let go of the dream yet.

Yeah I reckon it'll be something like that. A bit uninspiring IMO, but it will give me a chance to explore other stages. Will probably see all 3 headliners though.

Such a weak set of headliners regarding other this year if that turns out to be close

[thewayiam]

Where's Pharrell playing on the Sunday?

He certainly was somewhere at least. It's been said a fair few times he can only do Saturday. He's doing Roskilde as well but that isn't mentioned on his tour dates either.

Rudimental, Ben Howard and The Chemical Brothers fits though...

Both Rudimental and Ben would pull massive crowds, they are both massive acts right now and I think Rudimental will do a great job against the Foo Fighters.

If it is Blur vs Chemical Brothers on the sunday i'l be at the Chems as i'm at hyde park the week before!

[the wonderwhy]

Foo Fighters, Florence, Iggy Pop

Rudimental

Kanye, Pharrell, Van Morrison

Ben Howard, Jamie T

Blur, Foals, Beck

Chemical Brothers

with Laura Marling headlining Park on Saturday, would do me just fine.

Come on dude, the closer and closer it got with his tour dates and Glasto free, it was looking likely. It wasn't that much of a surprise, a lot of us expected to see him on the poster and he has a history with the fest.

Yea i mean it is unlikely to bother me either as ill (most likely) be at hot chip on the friday kanye on the sat and then chems on the sunday

[A Guy Called Matt]

West Holts so far looks grand for me................ I wonder who we might get on Sunday night as there does not seem to be much rumoured.

[kingcrawler]

Roskilde's the week after though, isn't it? The only thing I can see is Werchter on the Friday.

I hope its Earth Wind and Fire just for the persistence of that poster

If Beck plays it will be either be in the place of Iggy, or he's subbing the Other stage to someone. (Maybe Chems)

I sort of agree. He released High Ball Stepper and was announced for Open'er a couple of days before the Glastonbury announcement so we were sort of expecting him after that, Him being announced for Open'er was a surprise though.

Been down on the farm today. Dry as a bone!

Do people really think Rudimental can headline the Other stage? I don't see it myself.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Me either. I think they might be west holts headliners on the sunday

[chazwwe]

Sub headline yes, headline, is just such a weird choice of the back of 1 album and a few successful singles.

[kingcrawler]

Do people really think Rudimental can headline the Other stage? I don't see it myself.

I think they'd be quite a weak headliner but someone posted on the Other stage headliners thread saying that he'd met one of them and that they were headlining the Friday.

There is strong info they are

Maybe the high slot is seen as an act of good faith that their set got cut short last year
