No way are we getting 3 good headliners AND a proper legend.

Well no because we're 100% getting Ed Sheeran.

[louise2014]

Where's the Ed Sheeran rumour come from? So far no tour dates/album that I've seen.

The Sun (who are usually pretty good with this stuff) announced that he was one of next years headliners some time ago. he may not have anything announced yet but it's a fairly safe bet that he'll have a new album out and be touring next year, and what with him voicing his desire to headline the festival it seems like a fairly obvious and easy booking for both parties. the only thing standing in his way at the moment is the Daft Punk rumour, which is almost definitely misguided imo. can't see past the trio being Stone Roses, Radiohead and Ed Sheeran myself

Whoever books his gigs is either insane or some sort of low level genius.  Maybe he gets cheap deals or something.  He played Meadowbank last year, which has been on the verge of demolition for years, and it's the first gig I can recall being on there for about a decade.

first gig there since T in the Fringe way back in 2007, that feels longer ago than that

The Sun in a sentence without spit in your mouth. I admire the restraint

Yeah, I couldnt go in the end, but I had a ticket for Radiohead there in, I guess, 2006 - but it's been all quiet since the heady days of T on the Fringe.

I seem to recall Prince playing there many moons ago.

it pains me to paint them in any kind of desirable light, but they have made a habit of getting this stuff right in the past (despite pushing Foo Fighters instead of Muse until the last minute this year). the Sheeran article came out of nowhere so imo it must've come with some kind of information behind it

Ah cheers for that. I've seen a lot more about Daft Punk in recent weeks. From the small amount I saw of Ed's set in 2014 he seemed to have the crowd on board - admittedly I did wander off to watch The Wailers. 

I'm intrigued if Bastille will be back as they have a new album...sub headliner on the other?

However, as this is the legends thread I'll leave such speculation for more appropriate places

Are the Sun, despite their obvious shitfalls, actually a good source?

I can never tell

i think the Daft Punk rumour is taking off because of how rare it is for them to tour/how huge it'd be for them to play Glastonbury. it'll probably amount to nothing in the end, but we shall see. it'd certainly be a whole new level of hype if they're in the picture

Bastille only played this year (sub headlining Other) so i'd be surprised if they returned next year. they'll probably end up playing every other festival instead

its before my time unfortunately i just remember its existence

i did a spot of googling and found a small review from a Mr Greg Forbes of the popular music website Efestivals, where he said the supporting act, Editors, blew them away, well outperforming the headliners, Razorlight, Must have been a classic

Duet where Ian falls over her dress trail and Reni escapes again. 

Collins currently must be in the frame, surely? 

[Hugh Jass]

Collins is asking for trouble calling it the "Not Dead Yet" tour. Have we learnt nothing from David Guest?

[mjsell]

So Phil Collins only doing RAH or are we thinking there will be a BST/IOW appearance also?

Wouldn't say no! Ferry was pretty decent on WH a couple of years back, why not invite "the other two" along and make it official

(I know Bryan is a bit of a hate figure around here sometimes, but blimey do they have some decent back-catalogue)
