Given the doubts about Radiohead and Adele is there anyone else that could possibly fill that 3rd slot realistically?

His name is Prince...

 

& he is funky.

Right, if you're not happy don't pay for your ticket. Works out for all.

Or do, because opinions are allowed, and you can express the fact that you were hoping for a different headline act without being banished from the festival

So far we currently have a sandwich made of two slices of boring and rather stale white bread, Hope the filling makes it worth consuming.

I suspect the Muse booking makes ACDC much less likely. (Not that it was ever likely)

Saturday night sat round your big table then?

I'm firming hanging on to the straws thag Emily wasn't being general when she said 3 British bands and Radiohead have stepped up late to replace Adele. On muse, I definitely won't watch them, so it doesn't bother me or surprise me, so I hope there's something good to watch elsewhere, which as its Glastonbury, there will be

as I said ... isn't difficult,Eavis told 3 British bands and Adele is not a band .. so you know the third headliner, beginning with the R ....

The only source for this "quote" is the Metro, and I'm not having it.

I'm underwhelmed by both Coldplay and Muse. However, I am also happy as it opens up more headliner options for me. If she also headlines, Adele I will not see either but if she does, then at least its a more original booking than the other two. Fingers crossed for some good acts on West Holts and The Park, my two favourite stages.

How does the £20 free bet from StanJames work or how do you obtain it?

It gets deposited to your account within 24 hours of your first bet being settled

I've only just arrived at the party so apologies if it's been covered but I'm making dinner and desperate for info. 

Are we thinking this makes Adele less likely? SURELY she would have been announced tonight if she was headlining? Can't see any sense at all in announcing someone else over her given the week she's had.

Dare I say it...but have Radiohead stepped up to replace Adele?

Always welcome...hopefully will be a bit more lively than Coldplay

The thought of people obsessing over Radiohead/Roses/Prince/ next year.

Sweet man cheers! Didn't make an awful lot but it'll do lol.

So the greatest festival on earth announces a headliner who has already headlined 3 times. then announces the next headliner who has already headlined twice

For its own sake it surely cant announce a third headliner who has headlined twice before (Radiohead) - it would not look good on the festival this year if it has to go back to its old friends for its headliners

.. and for that reason only, the third headliner has to be Adele... but only if she can cope with it (anyone see the front page of the Star today?) With Radiohead lined up in case of any late issues

Yes and moan like a child? Be a slight bit more mature and see someone else. Not difficult is it.

Its not the best festival in the world because of it's headliners.

Yeah, sure you can see someone else, there's loads of stages, all of that, but it's perfectly possible to love the festival but still find this years headlining acts to be dull, uninspired bookings.

 

Anyway, hope all those dreary c**ts who signed the Kanye petition last year are happy with this.

TBH, if they announce Adele (which is likely), then they have the biggest headliner of any festival in the world this year

Exactly this. Oh, and got a text 10 mins ago from somebody who should should know that says Adele is booked. Think of that what you will. I believe them.

I will, of course, see someone else and have a fantastic time, as I have at every previous festival. That doesn't affect my right to express my opinions about headliners, both good and bad. I'm not even particularly thinking of myself here - I'm thinking of my best mate who's going to his first Glastonbury this year. I'd hoped we'd get to experience an amazing Pyramid headline set together, as there really is nothing like it. 

[parsonjack]

What's the chance that Adele's tour programme has the Glastonbury date in it.....and they'll therefore announce this Sunday before the tour kicks off in Belfast on Monday?

Has Muse been announced as Adele's contract stipulates she must be the last, and therefore the implied biggest, announcement?
