Saw Elton at Bestival. He said it was his first festival appearance ever (no idea if true), and he seemed to love it. And he basically got the whole of Bestival there watching him, people were climbing up on to the roofs of the bars due to overcrowding. 

One thing I would say though, don't put Chic on before him. They stole the show that night. Made his set seem a bit flat at points.

Does make me wonder the importance of the role that Mick Jagger's kids played in twisting his arm to get the Stones to play.

Sure Fearne Cotton and her hubby had a word in Rons ear as well.

Might have finally have arrived at something non-controversial, realistic and interesting.

Saturday Daft Punk or Madonna

Neither of these is particularly realistic and Madonna's insistence on being a w*nker over her setlists would mean she'd flop anyway.

Ah come off it. There's a difference between pointing out that Justin Bieber - manufactured crap - is not worthy of the pyramid stage and being delusion enough to think my opinion matters at all to the Eavis's in organising the festival.

Biebers latest album is actually pretty good

Fuck, if Taylor Swift is being seriously talked about to headline this thing, I don't see the issue with Bieber. 

For a start, Tay Tay spent years building up a substantial semi-credible following before she became a product of the pop machine. Even to this day she's still signed to an indie. Also she's a not a c**t.

Jerry Lee Lewis, headline the Pyramid?  Legend slot possibly... Amazingly, he is still doing gigs.

Yeah gotta love those long-since-past-it rockstars with a penchant for marrying their 13 year olds cousins. Get him booked.

The 13 year old cousin isn't an issue. Its the 5th wife he might have killed that you should be concerned with.

One of the all time greats though. Right up there with the best. Shame he never played the farm.

I don't think Depeche Mode are big enough to headline. They maybe were once big enough to headline but that was a long time ago.

They haven't had an album go Gold here since 2005 and nothing has got higher than 1 x Gold disc. Compare that to even someone like the XX who may be on the cusp and they've had a Platinum record. 

Very true

U2 - in an attempt to improve on the "Average performance in 2011".

Killers - after the JP performance on Sunday would get a huge crowd.

Gaga/Taylor Swift

Steve Aoki - Other stage headliner, about time Glasto got cake.

Would like Queen to make an appearance but with Eavis being a dairy farmer and the "badger cull" issue I think it'll never happen.

What about Kraftwerk - would be mental on other stage, not sure they could do Pyramid anymore?

As for Legends slot "Barry Manalow".

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
