I'm going for REM, subbing Radiohead. 

Why on earth would REM reform just to sub Radiohead at Glastonbury?

Hope not, always thought they were a bit naff, all that ancients of mu mu bollocks. The one they did with Tammy Wynette used to drive me insane with anger, hate that song more than any other. It was just shite dressed up as utter shite pretending to be something other than shite.

 

Which it wasn't.

They were alright. They are the greatest marketing concept that pop music has ever seen though. The music has not really stood the test of time. They would empty the dancefloor at an old skool gig these days. They were absolutely no where near as good as 808 state or Nexus 21/Alten8, yet they had the gimmicks.

Yes I would watch them for old times sake if they were on. Yet I always get the impression the jokes on us the punters rather than them, as far as the KLF is concerned.

If the Dalai Lama wasn't a "big secret" then nothing can be!

The same reason Radiohead were going to sub Adele last year.

He'd swap the fee for a free ticket, an english breakfast and a pint of Somerset cider

KLF are supporting pearl jam..... It's the truth old sons

Does anyone else think that maybe Emily Eavis has set herself up for a bit of a fall by mentioning that there is a big secret? I think a big secret in her eyes is probably different to what we are thinking and hoping for.

Hopefully she proves me wrong and announces someone like Oasis. Positive thinking .

If my local village fete said they had a "really big suprise" and it turned out to be the Killers, I'd be tempted to get trading standards on them.

18 years I've been saying pearl jam should be playing Glastonbury...... I don't get any support and pearl jam WOULD be a big secret.. Compared to KLF soz old son.. 

At least I'm realistic it ent gonna happen.. 

I'm with you Guy, PJ should have and still should headline. I'm amazed they haven't done it already.

Starting to think it may be a big change to the Saxon Market/Other/Silver Hayes area. Small acts self confirming, regular traders ousted, easy to cover up with FAKE NEWS map.

How do you think @deebeedoobee, @pilton digger and @Mr Splodge would feel?

Never heard a lorde tune / only heard of her on these forums... will have a listen

Any suggestions of tracks?

Edit - she did a bowie tribute that I saw & didnt hate now I think about it.

 

Honestly, Pure Heroine as a whole is worth a listen and not exactly taxing. I think the original release clocks in sub 40mins. 

Outside of Royals, Tennis Court and Team are the big ones. My recommendations would be: White Teeth Teens, Ribs, Buzzcut Season.

Apparently Duncan wanted to stand stage left of PJ, which would never have worked.
