Firmly in the Gaga camp. It's been years in the making and she's got the hits / personality to kill it. People obviously thought her trajectory was on the downward after Joanne but that's clearly just not the case. She's a bonafide headliner if ever there was on.

The Cure on Sunday still doesn't seem right to me.

Still hoping for a life-affirming Gaga Sunday blow out (esp. for the smallest mini-Woffling).

Stormzy Macca Gaga would be a very strong and varied set of headliners.

I'd be at the Pyramid 2 nights of 3 too

So after 500 pages, we've managed to agree on that, all we know is that we know nothing.

Glad we sorted that one out. 

hope you have read every page just to check you haven't missed anything

Sure it wasn't 'Radio Gaga'?

If Macca pulls out the replacement needs to open with this

Or even this bit at 5.50

Quick show of hands... Who believes the Macca Out rumour?

I do not.

Nope.

I think he will be headlining, but even if he isn't, I think it's more likely that he wasn't booked in the first place, rather than was in and then cancelled.

we've had these "my mate works in the music biz and says XYZ" tales countless times before and they're usually full of shit.

Tbf Lady Gaga would kill a cover of Hey Jude. Heck would probably do it better than Macca if his voice is going...

The world does not need more Hey Jude.

Agreed. She'd make a good headliner, though.

I'm a big Beatles and Macca fan, but I can't stand Hey Jude. Especially since I've heard a lot of endless crappy panflute versions.

30 odd posts and you've figured it out. The force is strong with this one.

It isn't that hard to pick up

Two eFest rules:
1. Nobody knows anything, except for the people who know things, but they never really know, nobody knows, so who knows, you know?
2. Don't share your opinion on some band unless you're ready to defend it against 10 other people.

I'm not a massive Beatles fan really, but I do really want to see McCartney at Glastonbury. However, the world's love for Hey Jude is something I've always been confused about. Its never worked for me.

The lyrics are literally naa na na na, that’s why people like it.

[jparx]

Let's be honest though - after a day of pounding the scrumpy you know damn well you'll be there belting out every word. There's no way you'll be stood watching Macca and suddenly fold your arms and look grumpy when he starts playing it.

Doesn't matter, it's still some feat like them or not. I work at an airport and, as it happens, met U2 when they got off the plane from Baltimore. They'd flown here as soon as the show had finished and they looked completely knackered. Just over 24 hours later they'd be onstage at Glastonbury, and soon after that back on their 767 to continue their US tour. Macca obviously won't be doing that (if he is doing Glastonbury) but he'll still have jet lag to contend with, unlike The Cure.

Remember though that U2 only happened due to cancellation the previous year. The band can't not have any future plans because of other things happening.

The plan on the cards had been the same though for previous year 2010 as for 2011 - flying over immediately from a US gig. I think it was Michigan or Minnesota in 2010 that were on the calendar a few days before Glastonbury on the Friday. Willie Nelson, Snoop, Vampire Weekend into U2 that hot sunny day would have been nice.

if he closes out Sunday, it will be our 3rd 'na, na, na' sing-along of the weekend after Liam does 'Little James' on the Friday before Stormzy, and then the High Flying Birds cheekily pull out 'All Around The World' as their closer in their Sunday pyramid sub spot which Noel G prefaces by repeating his "We're off...Enjoy Paul McCartney" line he used the last time he was on the Pyramid

Kaiser Chiefs to play before Noel and sign off their little known classic “Nanna Nanna Na” (that’s a real song folks).

Of course Kylie before them with Can’t Get You Out Of My Head and all the “na na nas” that song entails...

[slash's hat]

Bananarama chipping in with na na na na kiss him goodbye
