if what I've heard is right, not as headliner.

But the chances that what I've heard is right is mighty mighty slim, I reckon.

(no, not saying, just in case it's true :P )

Madonna, Coldplay, Macca - Elton Sunday for the blanket brigade.

Surely anything other than a headliner would be ridiculous?, Pyramid opener would be way too rammed and the legend slot doesn't sound right.

Martin's the type who would happily accept a lower slot (say, subbing Macca for instance) or play a secret set just to be part of Glasto's 50th.

You'd like to think that even the Eavii would think it ridiculous to have Coldplay headlining yet again.

Vedder, Daltrey and Wilson bellowing out I Predict A Riot to a rapidly diminishing Pyramid crowd.

Which would give me more room to flail about like a possessed octopus as I would be GOING OFF if that happened!

Oh I know he would, I was being it on the size of slot to allow that many people.

Just had a thought, maybe they are going to turn up at the Eavis spoken word which happens everytime

Emily is on George Ezra's podcast. He's not a headliner (yet) but looks like he could feature near the top end...

And no, I'm not going to take the trouble to listen to find out what was actually said.

Is he headlining another UK festival this year? Nailed on pyramid sub

Just got a mail telling me that Eddie Vedder will be performing in London supporting The Who at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, July 6th.

Eddie Vedder alone isn't big enough to headline the Pyramid and only The Who would be a weak booking so few years after their last headline performance, but together?

He's supporting them. As are the kaisar chiefs. Nothing to suggest they are playing together. The who played too recently and like you say Eddie Vedder on his own with a ukulele is not happening anything above mid afternoon slot.

I know somebody said the price was an issue 100’s of pages ago but just heard that Madonna has been booked.

 

classic friend of a friend rumour from someone who books VIP. Make of it what you will

congratulations for reading all the pages ..... Emily also ruled her out at one point too ... but

Yeah it wouldn't be a big shock to be fair, he certainly sells enough to do it.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
