As I say every few weeks: update please! Is it still:

 

Muse Vs LCD

Adele Vs New Order

Bring me the Horizon

With Foals subbing one day?

Also, when do we usually get an announcement?

Ta!

This is still the same and it seems Foals are subbing Friday as they are playing elsewhere on Sunday.

Even if they don't have any new material, they'd still be a better 'get' than re-booking Coldplay or Muse.

I'd take practically anyone over that lot. It just doesn't seem to be the way Glastonbury likes to do things. When they've booked 'reunion' acts before, eg Blur, The Verve, it's been on the first leg of their tours, when the hype is massive. I can't see them wanting to get the Roses at this stage, when they (presumably) could have done so in 2013, 2014, 2015...

I really don't like The Rosses. I missed out on the hype when they were out and never got into them since, the reunion buzz did nothing either. 

I wonder if the same people that really want Radiohead/Stone Roses are the same people complaining about Muse/Coldplay and wishing for 'new' headliners.

Technically stone roses would be a new headliner

Is there some substance to it 

Or just it's as ridiculous as it sounds 

I'm thinking either that one of those supposed stage headliners has got to be wrong, or the bookers are having a laugh.

You know what my info is, tho it's always possible that it's wrong ... then again, other parts of the Roses suggestion could also be wrong. Make up your own mind. :)

Is this pointing to NO into Stone Roses or Stone Roses on Pyramid and NO on Other at the same time?

Paltry few watching New Order than night one would think.

Seriously doubt GFL have Muse/Roses/Coldplay however, irrespective of what Reni told me.

I'm thinking that ioW has the Roses and they're being held back from announcing them cos tix are still available for all Manc shows. I could be wrong, that's only a guess.

But I've got nothing at all to put them in the frame for Glasto, and every bit of info I've had that I've thought would come in good so far this year has done ... and I still think Adele will.

Surely the only way it could happen is up NO are 'heading' but play 2nd from top meaning you can see the end and go to the Pyramid after.

Also I'm fairly sure The Stone Roses only have 3rd/4th tier tickets left for the opening Wednesday, the other sold out easily from what I remember.

hmmmm... Stone Roses up against New Order on the Other?

 

There is absolutely no chance of that happening, New Order's crowd would be very small. Too much on an unnecessary clash.

which is what I was pointing out. :)

 

I don't even want to contemplate such things without a ticket, but if I get lucky then I would more than welcome Roses to headline the Saturday with New Order doing the Friday or Sunday (if there's any chance your source has their NO day info wrong).

    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD 
    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
