He showed a few songs at Reading this year. Neil has said that whether an act wants to be broadcast doesn't really hold much baring on whether they're booked or not.

As I recall Blur asked for most of their set to not be broadcast when they were headlining in 2009 as they were on tour at the time.

Always nice to have some people on here doing research, other than reading NME. Also liked your deep dig into the social media of the daughter of the bassist.

She viewed my Instagram story the other day about getting Glasto tickets and I was tempted to pop the question but but haven't yet become desperate enough to make myself look like a weirdo.

He doesn’t actually play the guitar on the song so I dunno how good a B-Rad set would be.

This would be a hell of a special moment as the sun sets, even if the guitar was played by a guy on a stool in the background or something

The crowd would definitely be there to check out his fingering skills.

but anyway, if there was a headliner-generated increase this year, it's probably been caused by the rumours of madge.

Which means that when she’s formally ruled out there’ll be more in the resale pot ?

I can't imagine ever buying a glastonbury ticket because u heard a rumour of a band or artist that might be there. Ive never even considered doing that all the times ive gone. The line up is always pretty good, probably always something one 1 stage ur gunna wanna see or check out.

Meh, personally I think the special moment would be him coming on for Shalalalalow with Mother Monster. The Park set just seems like overkill to me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If - and its a big if - they're both there, it'll be him popping up in her set, not vice versa.

[FloorFiller]

Wait is this Bradley Cooper news new or is that why people are suddenly predicting Gaga all over again? I assumed it was just random musings rather than there being anything pointing to it being her.

Das what I mean.

He would almost certainly be backed by his Glastonbury Wolfpack - him, Little Lars and Noel ‘The Modson’ Gallagher.

[incident]

Regarding the Arctics and the "iconic June festival" - a lot of the speculation seems to have assumed it means a UK or at least European festival - and therefore the focus has been on Glastonbury and IOW.

Given that the information apparently came through US based channels, could Bonnaroo be a decent shout for that? Prior to Coachella coming into fashion, it was easily the most talked about the US festival; (yeah I know you could argue Burning Man, but that's a bit different).

Yup - was agreeing with you.

His 'set' last year on the Pyramid was when Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt popped up.

Came out in a 6 Music interview he did the other day. He didn't mention anything about her being there but y'know.

Christ bit early to be leaking your secret set.

Gaga would be a hell of a lot better than most of the other stuff being thrown about - I'd be well up for that, even if I haven't been the biggest fan of hers post-Fame Monster material.

Id take gaga over the cure or macca, both are well dreary

Yeah I reckon it’s Bonnaroo, they did a load of European gigs and festivals around that time this year so makes sense for them to skip the early June stuff and play somewhere like Bonnaroo instead.

Fuck it.  All in for Gaga.  I dont think she's above and beyond mounting a lavish G headline show as a one off outside of any other obvious touring schedule.

I agree, I’ve gone from sceptic to all in on Gaga now.

I'd love to see a headliner nope out on the BBC coverage, just to see how much it affects things regarding the publicity and response to their set. I know Rolling Stones were almost at that point but compromised somewhat, plus it's the Rolling Stones so they're obviously gonna be hyped up anyway.

Maybe in the contract that a minimum % needs to be televised? Guessing.

Not even like she isn't doing shows. The dance routines and setlist and visuals are all gonna be in place, it's just a question of whether she can be bothered to create a travelling version of her Vegas show which can fit on the Pyramid, and whether the timing of Glastonbury fits into the doctors orders she's clearly now following regarding her workload. But I really hope none of that would be an issue.

Gaga's phone was blowing up in the club while she was sippin that bub - and it was Michael calling from the farmhouse kitchen after Madonna asked for a cool 5 mill.

[didinowanttohearthat]

Is there anything ruling out Rihanna? Her last album flopped a bit but she's huge and surely due a new one next year. Seems more relevant and bigger than Lady Gaga to me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nothing ruling her out. 

Relevant to what though?

Like she's bigger than Gaga therefore more likely to be booked imo.

[Woffy]

NB: Gaga aced it on the Other in ‘09. 

No idea if she was in the middle of a tour at the time, but IIRC her stage show seemed tailored to G.
