Foals aren't gonna headline both R/L and Glastonbury (although i wouldn't count them out of making an appearance). Stone Roses maybe but I just don't see it... can't really remember why they're not seen as a more likely option, mind?

Because they're only in it for the money, which Glastonbury doesnt really give.

Foals into Radiohead?! A boy can dream 

Think they'd be more likely to be before Muse if they were to play myself, but either way Foals being there full stop would be amazing

Foals? Stone Roses? any other potentials?  

Given what Neil has told us already, if it's going to be three British bands as the metro says, it's going to be Muse Radiohead and Coldplay

If it's those 3, has it ever been a more dull worse st of headliners. Fucking terrible!

It feels really weird seeing those three names written out after Coldplay and Muse spent years fighting off comparisons.

It's actually happening!!

Not the most inspired set of headliners, but still three huge names, and a nice set of acts who's rise has been largely associated with Glastonbury. Shame it's not an anniversary or anything as those headliners would definitely lend themselves to it

Lazy Metro, asking her about Pyramid headliners, when they should be grilling her on Other headliners! Run up to her, and shout "LCD SOUNDSYSTEM AND KENDRICK LAMAR! One blink for yes, two blinks for no"

It's the least most inspired ever! You have one band that are majorly inspired and compared to one of the others and then Coldplay who don't really sit apart from that. There's a reason why people have said two of these in one year is too much.....dishwater springs to mind!

[somecoolusername]

As long as she definitely said 'bands' and not 'acts' or something else which may seem interchangeable but actually means something very different... then it has to be Muse, Radiohead, Coldplay.

Highlight so far  

Apart from Yoko accepting the Wow I Wasn't Really Expecting That It's A Total Surprise Despite Me Having Been Invited To This Shit Storm Event For No Apparent Reason And I Have A Huge Acceptance Speech Award. 

Accepting a prize on behalf of macca I assume. 

 

Maybe not - best arthouse noise producing non-tuneful famous ex spouse award?

 

Ringo's missus not made any music this year?

Least most inspired ever? Wut??

I can't wait to see if/how he updates the site tomorrow

I have a feeling it won't be changed off the back of an article from the metro, but I'm happy to be proven wrong 

[ghostdancer1]

it's not just an article from the Metro though, is it? it's a direct quote from Emily.

Hence the cautious 'if/when' 

I'm also thinking he might hear something else from people that are there tonight that goes along with the Metro article. Fingers crossed.

Could be the other thousands of acts on the bill. Plus from the stuff Neil's been saying it's safe to assume Adele was definitely in the frame at some point, and Radiohead may well be taking her spot (hallelujah)

[willutalk]

Would be devastated if Radiohead did this year as I can't go to the festival this year!! Would go apeshit like.

it just wouldn't feel like everything would be in its right place. At all.

[jimmyt]

And we're absolutely certain that Adele would only play if she was headlining? Somehow, I could see her being on before Radiohead or Coldplay.

Do we even have any female British bands who could headline?
