Radiohead touring in 2016

[Woffy]

Josie - off of here - just made a great point on Twiiter that it looks like he let slip then realised they weren't on his poster / bit of paper.

This can't be the moment surely? I refuse to believe Michael confirmed it 20 days ago and we've been sat here drawing Pyramids on jpegs in Paint.

It was time well spent and no one can tell me any different

I'd take that. Be interested to get Neil's opinion on this tomorrow @eFests

[Matt42]

hilarious

I saw this when it went up but didn't think to mention it as it just sounded like Michael going off on a bit of a tangent

I can confirm that I did indeed say that!  

[Gucci Piggy]

This is hilarious.

How the fuck did we of all communities miss that?

[Chawk]

Do we like Radiohead? Good question Michael..

[strummer77]

Not so sure he confirms anything or that changes anything. He mentions Foals/Disclosure/Skepta from the lineup as three new artists and I think he has Radiohead on the back of the paper, noted down as also coming from Oxford.

The bit about they've played but should get another crack at it suggests he wants them to headline again though, so perhaps in line for 2017 if they aren't appearing properly this year?

Yeah that was my initial reaction. Interesting

Whether it means anything or not, our forensic skills / obsessiveness is severely impaired.

Maybe Michael - the wily old coot - has been anonymously emailing Neil!!!

I actually can't belive we have sent 2 weeks on this thread and that video was out there

I don't know why he'd mention a load of bands that are playing, and then Radiohead. I know Michael is Michael, so anything is possible, but I still find it very bizarre

Well he reads Foals on the front, turns his paper over where he has some notes about them and mentions Oxford which leads him to Radohead. 

Having met him I know he can definitely let things slip in the moment - but he surely wouldn't have written down a top secret Radiohead rumour to read out would he?

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I'm more concerned that that guy doesn't know who Underworld are

I feel the same, it doesn't seem to me as if he was going on a tangent since he specifically mentioned the lineup and took the paper out of his pocket. It could also be that he's just a massive fanboy and takes every chance to talk about them.

Has anyone had a go at enhancing the back of the bit of paper, looks like there might be something there but who knows what!

I dunno man. Jury is still out for me. I don't think by any means this is 100% confirmation, but I'm not convinced he's just reeling off Oxford bands.

Yeah, agreed. He could easily just be going off the Oxford connection- especially with the 'other crack at it' remark.

[brettredmayne]

I'm sure @eFestivals would like a proper look at the back of that paper

"Super secret bands for 2016:

Watch from 40 minutes in! Does Michael Eavis confirm Radiohead? 

Sorry if previously mentioned.. 

Props to Cieran for starting the meltdown btw.

[Matt42]

The back of the paper is blank from what I can see

just put it up on my tv

Indeed. Good going. Upvoted for the subsequent chaos.

It's Oxford Uni. They're not the brightest bunch.
