Don't *do* that to me, man!

apologies, it is a bit long winded, I wanted to use Neil's words so I didn't misquote him, that would kinda be like taking the Lords' name in vain.

Haha I had the exact same reaction. I almost spat out my tea. 

Posts like that should start with *POTENTIALLY GOOD NEWS* so we don't all have heart attacks whilst reading it and trying to figure it out

Same, I was about to read a TBC for latitude but now I have hope once more 

This one's optimistic

[FloorFiller]

Good news re: Latitude. Doesn't necessarily make them any more likely for Glastonbury but I would've been pissed if Latitude had bagged them  

[jparx]

Even though it's not a certainty that they will play a UK festival this year, I'd find it very surprising if they didn't when you consider the mythical new album and the European/worldwide dates. With every festival that gets ruled out, I think it certainly strengthens the argument they will be at Glastonbury in some form.

Every day that passes in which they aren't categorically ruled out, I feel a bit more hopeful. If we get to April and there's still a Glastonbury sized hole in their schedule with no UK festivals announced, the hype will be unbelievable.

I bet @glimmers_of_hopedresses up as a copper at weekends and knocks on random people's front doors looking serious and sad only to deliver winning Post Code Lottery cheques.

lol - I've been rumbled.

I refuse to be seduced by hope.

The same reasoning had me take my wellies and waterproofs in '10.  That worked out fine.

It would be interesting to see if Neil has got any new information, his post implied that he did to be able to rule Latitude out.

Thom mumbles to an efester "we don't think the Pyramid sound is good enough"

+

"New, moved JPT"

+ (bad guesswork)

=

Radiohead to headline new, improved JPT on all three nights, playing slightly different shows each night, but you're only allowed to attend one (by wristband colour to ensure no overcrowding).  All your proposed setlists/ album preferences will be monitored by individual band member-related algorithms, and you will be required to attend the set that will teach you most/take you out of your contact zone.  So, that's Pablo Honey from start to finish for most...

My top 2 Radiohead albums :))))))

1) King of Limbs

2) Lattitue

3) Fitter Happier

4) Princess of China ft Rihanna

Neil's quote from the Latitude Thread:

"I've had more than one bit of Radiohead info, and one of the bits, tho not explicit with it, ends up saying that they can't be doing Latitude.

It might not be true of course, tho other bits and pieces of info outside of anything specifically radiohead strongly suggest that it is."

So is the info. linked purely to Latitude, Neil? And we're just extrapolating this in Glastonbury terms. Or was it vice versa, i.e. you had Radiohead Glastonbury info. Thus potetially ruling out Lat'?

as much as I hate to break up all the lists, on the Latitude thread Neil has posted today that he has had more than one bits of Radiohead info and one of the bits, although not explicit with it, ends up saying that they can't be doing Latitude. (although, he points out, it might not be true).

So, it sounds like Latitude is also out.

It feels like it is going to be Glastonbury or no UK Festivals, maybe just their own big gigs.

Just to cheer you all up, if I was forced to bet on it, my money would go on Glastonbury of those options.

My info (tho I can't guarantee it's correct) is that Radiohead changed what they were planning to do to do something else instead. The most likely option seems to be Glastonbury, perhaps (probably, even) because a headline slot opened up that they were able to fill.

Separately, I've been told they're playing Glastonbury this year by the same guy who told me they'd be playing a secret set on the park whichever year that was (and i have a feeling he's given me other bits over the years too).

So to me that's saying they're much more likely to be playing than not. Tho I could be wrong, of course.

oh shit

this is really happening

I had some fairly random info that (by what it says) would rule Radiohead out of doing Latitude, tho it didn't specifically mention Latitude.

I can't guarantee that what I heard is right, tho everything about what was said to me feels to be right, and everything about it seems to sensibly match up with various other bits of info.

That fairly random info is quite non-specific in it's actual substance, but you can make some very strong conclusions from it (such as the one about Latitude), and some less strong ones towards Glastonbury.

That then matches up with me being specifically told RH would be doing Glasto, and that info is from a proven-good RH source.

Which says to me they'll be playing (tho I might be wrong).

Yet again, thanks Neil.

This is as good as we're gonna get, I feel, until an actual announcement, one way or another.

I probably won't feel as strongly about it in an hour.

Do you think this would be most likely to be Adele?
