It's this bit that is intriguing me (I'm resisting asking for a PM as I'm quite enjoying the speculation). 

Alice Cooper fits that description better than anyone else I can think of unless it's a Singer and The Backing Band kind of name.

Has anyone who's received the PM been able to poo-poo the idea?

 

Love a poo-poo. 

I just see Alice more as a Ramblin Man headliner or lower down the slot at Download and not Beardy .

Me too But I'd be made up, especially if he brought the old band over. And let me choose the setlist.

I'm not sure how well the theatrical side of it would go down, if he still does all that....

Lord if the Boa when missing I would just abandon my tent and check into the nearest hotel .

Woodland Stage would be a no go with that on the loose , that would be native habitat !

Would Bryan Adams be a Beardy booking ?

I reckon he'd have to do the theatrical stuff to keep the casual observer happy but the best I ever saw him was the time he many dispensed with all that stuff and just delivered a killer set list.

Nah. Another one I've seen loads of times and was always good despite diminishing album output but I couldn't see him at Bearded.

He played Cropredy in 2013 (and went down a storm apparently) so I don't doubt that he'd play BT and go down trifficly.

Don't normally enjoy "crowd footage" but this is worth watching

I wonder if they are going for a local to headline ?

Oooh. Good shout. Fits the solo and band thing too.

I reckon this is the best shout yet, but does rely the dude who said he’d heard a rumour incorrectly saying he wasn’t English

Barstewards aren't there next year which is a shame as I really enjoyed them this year.

Did anyone get the PM?

odd. 

maybe it was a cry for attention, or something.

I did wonder - I didn't understand why he couldn't say outright on the forum what the rumour he had heard was.  If it's wrong, ok, it was only a rumour anyway.  No-one's going to hold it against anyone.

Yeah, true

If his rumour came from one of the BT team, so would not look good posting information that's been passed on possibly confidential

Tomorrow's the day then. The same day Cher announces her tour. Coincidence?

So why bother saying anything at all?  Or offer to PM people?  The festival forum equivalent of a prick tease!

That would be fun!  Not sure if it's in a good way or a car crash way, but definitely fun!  (and definitely a pensioner!)

Either just tell everyone if you’d like to, and it’s appropriate...or keep your mouth shut if it’s not.

Pretty simple really.

Folk are being a tad harsh regarding this fellow and his rumour, it seems to me. My thinking is that he heard something, didn't feel comfortable saying out loud, so (admittedly foolishly) suggested that he'd have a quiet word in the ear of anyone super keen to hear. Immediately, he gets an avalanche  of PM requests and the penny drops telling anyone is as good as telling everyone. Was he naive? Very probably, but it takes regular visits here to realise how avariciously the mere whiff of a rumour will be pounced on here. Hopefully we'll find out his deepest, darkness secret tomorrow, so it's all good -  let us not judge, lest we be judged.

Nah, you're far too nice - he said "Just don't want to ruin anything , or look stupid if its wrong" - nothing about not repeating something he'd heard confidentially or anything.  He's just been teasing from the start, without any intention of telling us!  

Not that I'm really bothered, as man next door said, "it's just few people chattin' shit together during the cold winter months"

I don't think I've ever been accused of being far too nice - I'll bank that!
