Hypothetically, circumstances maybe have changed since Emily specifically ruled her out.

To be absolutely fair I still suspect FM are in the mix for that same reason. They could have ruled people out thinking Macca was a done deal.

Anyone indifferent to the prospect of the Julian Strokes Contractually-Obligated Minimum-Effort Wind-down Hour is grasping at any straw they can.

It would be strange if it was Madonna with Emily having ruled her out in Taunton talk ..... Michael also said he couldn't talk about Prince the year they were closest to getting him at a talk in Taunton when I attended  .... There is no pattern

Grasp harder dammit!

[CaledonianGonzo]

In the past three days I've already grasped Neil and Stevie, so happy to add Madge to the bundle.

Emily didn't rule Madonna out did she? Sure the quote read slightly different

[Username taken]

Aside from the fact that they've been explicitly ruled out by the person who books the bands, all the other evidence would have me certain its Fleetwood Mac.  Also, I want it to be Fleetwood Mac.

yeah, but that's because Prince was an arse and reckoned his name was being used to sell the tickets.

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

Can’t say I’ve read all of them but have been drifting in and out for a while. Nice to see nobody’s any closer.

Bit of mystery never hurt anyone!

[FloorFiller]

What a triumph (on paper) Madge would be after all of this Strokes nonsense. Without her having anything else lined up or announced yet though I struggle to believe it, but the year is still young.

I don't think anyone gets early sight of the line-up, apart from those involved in putting it together.

I think it's much more likely that people selling VIP tickets will be using the rumour of Madonna that The Sun started last summer as a way to get top dollar & sales for the tickets they're punting.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Going from the prospect of Prince to the prospect of The Strokes is like something out of Greek tragedy.

[Matt42]

After hearing Strokes are headlining APE I’ve adopted a ‘i’l believe it when I see it’ approach to them headlining Glastonbury. 

Madonna was ruled out by Emily. But apparently teasers of a new album have been sent out to fans and tour dates to come soon. I guess we will have to wait and see

*McCartney and Wu Tang look likely Sat night clashes*

Woe is me. Clash gods, thou art ghastly villains!

*McCartney out of the running*

NO! Not the fookin Zzzstrokes. No chance. Get a proper headliner!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cant get super excited about Wu and the lads I'm afraid. Got the t-shirt there.

we've got Madness playing this summer so it's basically time we got a stadium

unfortunately the speed things work here ... the floodlights at the county cricket ground will sadly be as close as we get .. even Bristol can't sadly get its decent venue

People were saying the same about Sheeran a few years ago...

[dentalplan]

Jerj Ezras will headline on his next album. That’s a fact. Just make the most of life before it happens.

The future is bleak.

George Ezra is successful right now because Ed Sheeran is taking a break.
