We need a stringent definition of "at least 1 song" here to avoid argument are you happy with:

 

• From the first note of the song being played until the last note of the song being played or longer. or for the length of one of the songs being played if he turns up to play across one or more songs (i.e comes on half way through Come Together and then sings Devil Woman and the total time is the length of Devil Woman/Come Together that counts).
• Let's wait until Paul McCartney is officially confirmed before activating this. Agreed? If for some reason he's not one of the three headliners neither of us lose any money. 

I would have thought that if Ringo turns up, sits down at the drums and hits one then you should get the money.

Tina and Chris played in 2013 and loved it, so they'll recommend it to Byrne if there's a chance, but Davey's not for reformin', having far too much fun on his own isn't he!

He is saw him back in July one of the best things I've ever seen

Well, Cure fans with Glasto tickets might not bother buying them for the Glasgow show if they're announced for G. They might want to hold off on the G announcement for as long as possible.

Well, I probably wouldn't have bought tickets this morning if I was assured they'd be at G so that strategy is working.

The last time I had tickets for The Cure was 1996 and they cancelled the gig twice. Belt and braces this time round.

If Talking Heads reformed could they headline?

 

If I shit gold bars I’d be rich, what’s your point ?

Ringo sings as well, he feasibly could sing and not play the drums. I was trying to give Woffy a chance in hell though. No way does McCartney play Glasto and not get Ringo along at this point in his career.

Can we all get in on this bet?

I was asking a question, genuinely wasn't sure if they'd get a headline slot after so long away.

Well they could but that doesn't mean they will.

 

Next!

He didn’t last time and it wasn’t that long ago.

I'll do it and if I get banned before the festival I'll unfortunately have to keep the money.

Or you could pass the dough onto a Nigerian Prince. They’re always happy to help in such matters.

Byrne headlined Jazzworld in 1999.

It wasn't a happy experience for him, I think.

I think there's a more-than decent chance he'll appear at one or more UK festivals - but whether that'd be Glasto I'm not sure.

When he's gone out on tour for the last 2 decades the tours have lasted around 18 months, and have included more than one trip to various countries. So I reckon there's a good chance he'll tour though some of next summer's festival season.

Given they've only played live together 7 times since 1993, I wouldn't hold your breath. Even those have been fundraising events, Harrison concert, Ringo's birthday, Ringo's HoF and lifetime Grammy events.

Anyway less of all this nonsense, saw A Star Is Born last night and am firmly in the Jack and Ally performing 'Shallow' on the pyramid stage camp!

Not a dry eye in the house

I have to say I admire the amazingly audacious confidence level on display here

Probably a better fit for Leeds where they would headline, can't see them headlining Glasto and would they take a slot down the bill.
