Have comments Gaga made in NME been discussed?

Just spotted that too.

“Glaaaastonbury! I don’t have permission to say anything about that” – with her tight-lipped response suggesting that sworn to secrecy until an announcement.

Yeah...they were in the print version last week. 

Discussion is around whether she's a viable headliner or not.

Grandaddys new comeback single is getting a lot of airplay on BBC6 at the moment. Would love to see them on the bill although apparently they've still got a lot of recording to do with the new album.

As for Justice, ive got a feeling they are nailed on for an appearance. Where on the lineup im not too sure though. Will definitely be wasted on a daytime slot so will need to be pretty high up the bill and way too big for any of the dance tents.

Yup, I think she would take sub no bother to get on TV etc again and build the rep back up. To headline I'd say give it a few years if this goes well.

graandaddy as park headliner . also conor oberst with his new solo album would go down a storm at the park.just not on friday night please

I don't get the Gaga not headlining thing? Star has definitely fallen - but still sold over 100 million records, is headlining the Super Bowl next year, last pop effort (before the one released this week) sold as much as her contemporaries (bar Adele). She's not quite the mega star she was 5 years ago, but is still one of the biggest artists in the world, no?

I think she'll play below Sheeran or be a fill in for if what they want Sunday doesn't happen.

Ive never listened to Conor Oberst. Any recommendations for where to start?

[FirsG]

I think it'll be Sheeran or Gaga, not both.

Yeah both headlining would be strange, hence why I think she'll be a sub. I feel this latest FF thing might come to fruition or FM have finally said yes. 

[Gucci Piggy]

I think she'll headline the Sunday filling in for the Roses if they have indeed been snatched away by IOW.

'Sheergaga'

A one time only pop double act fusing the acoustic, ginger troubadour pop licks of Ed Sheeran with the visceral meat-dress neo-neon-funk stylings of Lady Gaga. All wrapped up in a moving tribute to the gone but not forgotten, Shergar. 

Saturday, 24th June 2017 - Glastonbury Festival 

[mjsell]

Yeah there's no way it would be Radiohead/Sheeran/Gaga.

It will be either Gaga headlining with no Ed, or Gaga subbing but in the Florence role for any late dropouts.

If those are the options then personally I'd take Gaga headlining.

[jparx]

I think she's subbing Ed. Which, if true, would be a massive pair of bookings for the Saturday night. BBC will be all over it.

Why? Arguably both are global mega stars, as much as anyone with taste might hate to admit it. Radiohead/Ed Sheeran/Gaga would be an absolutely massive trio of headliners to have in one year! Arguably only this year would be a bigger set...

 

I wouldn't go see any of them depending on other acts playing, but I can't see much wrong with Glastonbury having all 3 if they want to do it. (Well got one obviously :P)

i think next year's super bowl is being headlined by two american football teams

[jparx]

I agree that both headlining wouldn't be the weirdest thing in the world. We had Coldplay and Muse this year, so I don't see how Sheeran and Gaga would be some unimaginable combo. I don't expect it to happen but it's hardly impossible.

I just think Sunday will be an older act. Foos, Mac, something of that ilk. Maybe even Elton?

There is a couple that match it, 2013 was big.

It won't be Elton.

On a UK level maybe, not a global scale (as a trio)
