So did Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen - the same weekend as Glastonbury. 

That was Hard Rock Calling - same venue but different promoter and concept.

The Foos being active pretty much killed KOL as a possibility I thought but it's still nice to know those slim chances have reduced.

KOL saying they weren't doing it also killed the possibility, really

Plus they were never going to anyway

The Who (subbed by Weller) did BST and Glastonbury last year.

Pretty sure there's been one GF headliner playing Hyde Park most years recently. The Who, Arcade Fire, The Stones, Springsteen...

Robbie Williams "would love to headline Glastonbury."

Well, Robbie I would love an afternoon on a bouncy castle with Scarlett Johansson. That's probably not going to happen either.

I've just seen a post on Facebook about the 1975 wanting to headline. I may have engaged in a spot of 'light plagiarism'

The Prodigy at UMF, Glasto finally get them for Other stage this year. Friday night with ML closing Sunday, that would be perfect.

But the joke is that Robbie headlining is unlikely.

Do you think the 1975 are likely to headline this year?

matey makes clear they're not. He's talking into the future - tho not that long into the future.

He makes a comparison with Arctic Monkeys headling after 2 albums ... tho I think this is the point where he goes badly wrong with his thinking.

Maybe, though they are selling out arenas at the moment. 

I could see them headline latitude this year or next, and reading soon after. Glasto would be a massive stretch though

Yeah, I'd put money on either them or the xx headlining latitude next year

Please spill. Hoping it's the xx

Could she?

Is it just me that finds it odd that they drew attention to the webcam the other day? I still feel like there was more to that than simply to show it as being foggy

They didn't do that this year, which was deeply disappointing. Seeing The Strokes, Beck and Blur for a combined 20 quid last year was brilliant.

There was a massive influx of 'competitions' for Massive Attack though. Myself and a mate won 12 tickets between us. (Some of them were the showfilmfirst ones where you have to pay £2.50 booking fee, so essentially the same thing)

Cold and the lads here to save the day if the Sheeranator decides to put it off

It's about time coldplay headlined again 

[Andy0808 v5]

Even Chris Martin must be sick of Coldplay headlining Glastonbury now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or he thinks that the Coldplay drought these last 6 months is already 5 months too long.

[Hugh Jass]

Will they hand out minature kaleidoscopes to watch the set through?
