Radiohead touring in 2016

I'm going to straw clutch at the fact it shows the stone circle rather than the pyramid...

 

*clutch*

I've said it in the headliner thread but I'll say it here too, technically it doesn't say they're headlining 

Radiohead could still do the Saturday, although even as the most optimistic my faith is dwindling 

I can't really look past Adele now, its a sad day.

Apparently Radiohead wanted to play their first 2 albums in full on the Friday night but read this thread and pulled out.

....and it says Friday night headliners on the Glasto Facebook page. Bloody Muse.

[Spindles]

Well.

Sad times.

Think it's over, think Neil had been given some bad information here.

[sloseph]

It's all crumbled

To be fair, one bit of info was always going to be wrong. Muse weren't doing anything but headlining if we're honest.

No! Quick lets do some more setlists.

[brettredmayne]

Only slight hope is Emily said 3 British bands.

Not necessarily. The info was never 'headlining' but just 'playing', and anyway there's still a headliner to announce, the one we always felt was the least likely to happen.

I don't know either way, tho I'll say again that the source was right last time.

4. Sulk

It is worth remembering that Adele still hasn't successfully performed to a large crowd anywhere. It wouldn't be a shock for Radiohead to be signed on for next year (both Eavii have referred to at least some of next year being sorted already) but also ready to step in if Adele realises that spending half the evening drunkenly crying on stage might not be her best move. Obviously not worth getting your hopes up too much but it's definitely possible.

How good was your sources on Adele compared to the radiohead sauce.

Fancy sending them a quick email haha

[GlastoSimon]

I suppose they have history of booking three British male bands (2013 for example)

[Matt42]

Nah Radiohead are probably lined up for 2017

keeping the faith, but I think there's zero chance now

If somehow it did come to be that they were the 3rd headliner it would be a pretty special year for the Eavii, that would be 3 bands who are big friends of the festival topping the bill.  Clinging now to the "3 British bands" quote.  I'm sure Adele would be the braver booking but my selfish heart wants Radiohead.

Actually F**K it, it's not over 

we have to keep the faith

I'm just trying to be fair to the info I was told. This source has told me good info before, and so I think it's jumping the gun to be dismissing it as definitely wrong just yet.

But personally, if it's not been cleared up either way by the time of the festival, I'll be at the festival thinking it's more-likely than not that RH will be playing somewhere over the weekend.

I still reckon they could stick Adele on in the afternoon.

Ed Sheeran is a pretty a big deal right, just toured the world selling out stadiums left right and centre, and yet he played in the afternoon...

I will continue to desperately clutch at straws for a good while yet

They remain a SR for the moment then?

The key to that is timing. Ed Sheeran became a bit of a megastar AFTER playing 3rd down on the Pyramid

I'm wondering (this is speculation, nothing more) if they might, perhaps, play before Adele on the Saturday night.

It would give that big headliner experience that Adele has said she feels she might not deliver, and then leave her to wind things down a little for those who stay, while action can be found elsewhere for those who want it.
