Someone on Facebook glasto chat page is claiming the BBC have an interview with Phil Collins which is embargoed until Monday. 

I have no idea how reliable the poster is, I only occasionally browse, for all I know he could be the worlds biggest troll, but thought I'd mention it.

Surely it's going to be Barry M. The U.K. Leg of his tour finishes only a few days before the festival!!

Fucking 'ell, so it's between total arsegravy and a flaccid 12 incher.

Hoorah.

Yeah, but then again, this time last year many people would've described the bulk of Lionel's output as total arsegravy, and he did ok.

Yeah but Lionel pulled it off because of his charm and humility on stage. Phil Collins is a self serving gobshite who dodges tax and refused to return back to the UK until the Tories were back in power. When you're essentially playing 80s cheese, its the person who's playing it that makes all the difference.

"He did OK" - Personally I'd say he did a bit better than that.

Not sure if anybody has mentioned him already but Van Morrison? Playing at Hampton Court Palace Festival on 14/06? Then in Ireland on 03/07? Obviously a big gap but Glastonbury does fall in to that gap. Also see George Benson who is playing in Manchester Friday 24/06, Bournemouth 25/06, nothing planned for Sunday (Glastonbury Legend or West Holts headliner maybe?) then in Birmingham Monday 27/06.

Cue this bad boy up on Spotify for some Friday night listening:

See ye's down the front for It's A Miracle.

The weird bloke that pretty much lives in the bus stop opposite our house arguing with anything made of plastic in the bin actually knocked on our door tonight asking if I knew where Pontius Pilate was and it was less terrifying than seeing that photo of #wrongbazza by about whichever number you care to add in superscript to 3.00 x 10 8* m/s.

*can't do superscript on my phone.

I really hate Manilow - don't get it at all. Naff pop songs not even sung. Is it too much to hope for John Fogerty's long overdue return? He is free for a trip to Europe through June.

John Fogerty was my highlight in 2007, cartainly legendary enough and plenty of well known songs.

how about  Ray and Dave Davies now they are talking and performed together just before Xmas.

Will Smith after last nights comments...

More likely for bestival you would think

Depends how much he knows about UK festivals I guess. He may want to do Glastonbury because people he knows have told him about it... That's how they got Lionel.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
