Aye, if they're not listed on the full lineup then I reckon they'll stay as a special guest until the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on then, I'll take you up on that. How does a fiver to WaterAid sound? Fiver from me if it is Radiohead, fiver from you if it isn't.

Andeeroo Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have the day off Tuesday so it would be serendipity in action if the lineup dropped that day. Although, it is just me in the office next week so I suppose I'm golden either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the only way that a big act will be able to safely do a 'secret set' at Glastonbury these days and outside of this forum, quite a hefty percentage of people will have no idea that 'special guests' are (likely to be) Radiohead. Plus it means the old Glastonbury rumour mill will be in overdrive during the festival with everyone making up their own "I've heard it's xxxx". There's no real benefit to holding it back but in an age when everyone has to know everything, it's a bit fun to just leave it as special guests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good man. Happy to get this wrong, I'd love Radiohead to be there. Plus I'd rather give my money to WaterAid than Paddy Power - he's had enough of my cash over the years!

I tell you, if it is left as special guests until the programme is given out I will be rifling through the thing like crazy before anything else happens. Probably even before the first sip of beer...

Keithy Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Am I right in thinking that this will be the 3rd year running that the main poster comes out with 'Special Guests' on it? We had Metallica in 2014, Libs last year and potentially Radiohead this year. Is 'Special Guests' becoming a thing in itself, in that this might become an annual thing, to hold back one big act (for contractual or whatever reasons)?

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I had a tenner bet with someone for WaterAid, but I can't remember who it was withy or what it was about. I think it might have been re. Sigur Ros with Brave Sir Robin, but I must admit the details are fuzzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fosters goodwill, improves the atmosphere and leaves people with a feeling of bonhomie that they don't get from other festivals. It's a community gesture.

sophlamb Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Right - it seems everyone is pretty confident that the sub is gonna be RH. Does that mean we have to stop clutching at our Kendrick straws and accept he isn't going to be there, or is there still a chance he'll be on another stage/time?

No space for him elsewhere unfortunately. Headlining next year seems the best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a chance, but I don't think life is beautiful enough for us to be given Radiohead AND Kendrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
