I'm hearing more of the same from other directions now, so either those 'two sources' mentioned on the RH forums have been blabbing left right and centre or there's people going around repeating the same stuff and claiming it as their own.

 

Either that or an announcment is incoming soon...

Or we could be close to a poster release and radiohead are on it so it's more widely known?

if Emily's 'couple of weeks' thing was right then we're about a week or less away from the big poster reveal, so definitely possible that something's finally leaked out

Yes please! Although thinking about it, maybe not! Spectre on it's own would be so special!

Skyfall is the only Adele song I have heard and I do rate it as a Bond song. Love a good Bond song.

All we need is for Sean Connery to pop his clogs and every act would have to do a Bond cover in tribute.

Identikit on the Pyramid Stage.

Thousands singing along - "Broken hearts, make it rain!"

It would be a lovely run in to the festival if they were confirmed around the same time as their first gigs, leaving the last couple of weeks stress free to debate the Glastonbury set list.

Well, it's very possible that the Adele sub rumours are just stemming from the thousands of posts speculating that this would happen since early March or whatever.

The point we're at now is that it keeps going round in circles with nothing particularly more solid to read upon, just more of what it started out as. Looking forward to the speculation ending one way or another.

Exactly this.

Thankfully there's not long to wait now

I am unable to just post a post! The forum insists on me quoting Swedge again for some reason!

Jparx, I love that song! Aha can do no wrong in my book!

Swedge, to see all those cover versions, that would be quite a 'Spectre'acle...!

Getting to see Macca do Live and Let Die on the Pyramid stage, (one of my favourite songs of all time, it's so well produced!), was fantastic. And Dame Bassey doing her ones in wellies was great too!

Could never happen but would love a Bond music festival where all the acts who have made Bond songs performed. There have been some stormers over the years! Suddenly decided to do a massive Bond rewatch now in the lead up to Glastonbury. What a perfect way to help with the wait!

I asked the guy for some extra info, seems to fit in with the Adele story..

"Oddly one of the sources told me they would likely be an Adele "special guest" but I don't know about that. Seems an odd place for them. Other than that, all I've been told is that they will be there somewhere.

Someone else (not one of the two sources) told me that there was a problem with Radiohead's secret set last time that could prevent them from doing it in the same way again. Does anyone know anything about this? Was it that it attracted too big a crowd? I dunno. This person could be wrong. If they're right though, the Adele claim might have more weight to it."

This almost sounds like the guy has just been reading efestivals...

yeah it does sound a lot like what has been discussed on the last 200 pages of this thread...

an Adele special guest seems like a guest during her set, which obviously isn't going to happen. maybe that person just read the clashfinder, saw "Special Guests" before Adele, and has decided that's going to be Radiohead.

Time for a bond theme list?

Perhaps we were just right all along, and now the news is starting to leak out? 

[russycarps]

why would radiohead play before adele?

 

[djdavejohnson]

FFS you lot have even got me searching the corners of the internet now to see if there is any news of this happening, and I'm not even a fan (willing to be converted, of course). Having seen this thread EVERYDAY for God knows how long I'm likely to go bloody see them now (if they do play) just to see what all the fuss is about!

what I'm hearing doesn't suggest it's poster related.

This. I just don't get it

It's been discussed before on here but the most realistic theory seems to be they were booked as a sub with the option of topping the bill should Adele have decided she wasn't up for it. 

Perhaps it was a happy medium with Radiohead's seeming reluctance to headline the Pyramid and the chances of them doing a Park type 'secret' set now being a health and safety no-go.

because Adele is the biggest act in the world ... and they're a bunch of has-beens (no offence meant) with a shrinking fanbase?

Cos that's the facts of things.

It would take big egos to refuse to play befo0re her.

Bit harsh! They're currently number 1 in the album charts...

[ghostdancer1]

whatever about their dwindling popularity, they could easily outright headline it.

i don't see why they would agree to sub, considering they're clearly as big, if not bigger than several headliners of recent years.

[jparx]

Surely 'has-beens' would indicate they are still riding past glories? Which clearly doesn't apply to Radiohead because their latest is number 1 in the charts and received almost universal acclaim

*Shrugs* obviously, not the wording I'd use, but I take his point. At the time of booking, it would have been 7 years since a well received or full length album.

We want to argue with Neil's post but we all know deep down it works in our favour
