I don't think that's what she meant. She said "One I've mentioned isn't confirmed but has been approached", meaning "the act I've mentioned as replacing Paul McCartney isn't confirmed but has been approached".

It's a solo artist. She said 50% chance it's a woman because she'd "already said too much" and didn't want to give any more clues.

I'll be completely honest I'm just pissing about.

Arctic Monkeys bloke hasn’t heard anything else on them and Glastonbury.

She reckons whoever has been asked might say no, surely the only people who’d say no are those who would want more money or are lined up to play 2020

Is everyone desperately holding on for any news resulting from @eFestivals Macca email feelers today?

[RossTC]

What have i missed on Macca? Why is it now in doubt?

not sure anything is coming fast, or even at all.

Possibly pulled out and Glastonbury are looking at replacements but largely speculation at the minute

Some random girl said it on twitter and everyone is taking it as gospel.

Woah don’t put this at my door!

I don’t think it’s any different to any other Glastonbury fan repeating what they’ve heard about the festival - which is what a lot of this website is about. Nahmsayin?

BST are announcing this week according to the other thread. If he's on there then we're safe.

I still doggedly refuse to believe he's bailed.

Are we assuming he's doing BST and Glastonbury then? Could he not have pulled out of G because BST offered him more money or something?

[JoeyT]

Has there been a reason given for Macca (potentially) pulling out?

It would seem strange for this to happen unless it was something health related which as far as I can see doesn't seem to be an issue.

I’ve spent the past few months stubbornly trying to convince my girlfriend that missing Paul McCartney at Glastonbury would be one of the worst decisions of her life. She’s only just come round so I’ll be pure livid if he’s not even playing now

someone just suggested in the BST thread that he'd be announced in December (if he's being announced) as that would be after his tourdates - which makes sense.

So I'm guessing an announcement this week will be for something different.

the only thing which would make sense currently was if he'd decided to extend his US tour - so i'm guessing there'll be new dates for that appear if he's pulled out of Glasto.

That's my thinking, if it was health related he wouldn't be playing 100-odd dates between now and next June.

It's quite possible he's got an offer on the table to stay in the US longer.

BST and Glasto share headliners quite often so I doubt that would be a concern.

I would think doing BST makes him less likely...

I'd hope that he's not driven by money enough to turn his back on a deal to headline the festival in order to play more dates over the pond instead.

He's not short of a bob or two let's face it and it would strike me as a bit immoral.
