If you judge it by 2013 Michael and Emily don't seem to like the locals all that much.

True but they were slightly big in 2013 (not that they warranted to headline IMO). Plus they probably thought that they had given them more than enough with Beyonce' at the last one

There's plenty of reason to take exception with The Rolling Stones for their tax evasion/Under My Thumb/Stray Cat Blues, Metallica for their bear hunting, The Who for the child porn on Pete Townshend'

For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

Macca is playing Wednesday night (Thursday morning our time) in the States, so even if he leaves straight after he'll be touching down here Thursday night/Friday morning. You'd think they'd grant him as much time as possible to recover and get himself fit to play. 

yeah, Macca on Sunday would seem to make the most sense against that.

Which would put The Cure on Saturday.

"Sorry Mr Mumford, we were going to book you for this year, but we don't think you're big enough to appease the locals, so we'll pull another bigger band out of our arse instead.... Sorry, what's that Michael?... OK Marcus,my dad's just pointed out that they did get Beyonce 2 years ago so they'll understand having to settle for you. See you in June".

Make AM less likely, given it would be a Friday slot for the 3rd time based on that?

"We'd like to book you this year, lads, we really would. But the only thing that stands in the way is that it'd be the third time you've played a Friday and we really can't have that. I'm sure you'll understand".

I don't think that makes much of a difference really. They won't turn down AM because they can only fit them on Friday and they've already headlined the Friday twice before. 

I don't think the days, generally speaking, make much of a difference at all. I don't think you're likely to see a young up and comer given the Sunday headline slot (if that's not the case, surely they would have just moved Flo to Sunday and not asked the Who to cancel the Paris date a few yars back?), but other than that I think anyone can slot anywhere really.

If I remember it right a few people on here suggested that Milverton & Sons were specially chosen for the locals as they sit on haystacks playing banjos and the residents of Somerset are presumably all farmers / bumpkins.

Why doesn’t his time on a top-of-the-range private jet constitute rest? Does he fly the plane himself, singing Hey Jude all the way?

"Does he fly the plane himself"

No

" singing Hey Jude all the way?"

Yes

what recent bruce rumours?

Just a few rags reporting that "a source close to the festival’s organisers has said that Bruce Springsteen will be one of the three headliners". Also, Paddy Power slashed their odds
