Where Emily’s quotes that the other 2 haven’t played “there” or “the festival” before.

The use of those two words are worlds apart

It's kinda cute you think this hasn't already been discussed in forensic detail already.

Too many pages to catch up on I’m afraid. 

I briefly skipped through the whole Chilli Peppers phase earlier this morning, that was enough for a Monday morning.

It's quite enough altogether. She said the festival so that's why it's being discussed with certainty.

 Still I wonder what music they do like when they seem to dislike openly everything they get offered.

funk, disco and acid techno.

Always a bit disappointed with the lineup tbh lol

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 

I didn't want to get my hopes up because last year I did and then was crushed. So this year I told myself over and over it's not Macca, even though I knew in my heart of hearts that he was the perfect booking for the 50th. 

EVERYTHING IS GOING EXACTLY TO PLAN.

I know you all across the pond have your feelings. 

But as someone coming from Portland, Oregon for my third Glastonbury, I couldn't be more excited about Macca.   I have only seen him once before at Desert Trip and he was phenomenal. 

Would Americans do that thing where they pronounce him "Mocca" instead of "Macca", like "Ghondi" instead of "Ghandi" or "Bionnca" instead of "Biannca" 

Safe journey to the farm!

Bowie and Prince would have I think. Apart from them I can’t either. 

There are lots of people out there who don’t like Bowie and/or Prince. There isn’t an act around that would gain Universal approval.

[Keel211]

Has to be Gaga/Swift

Big fan of Piggies and Savoy Truffle?

Not really I didnt even know they were songs, Shes so Heavy, a Day in the Life, Lucy in the Sky, I am the walrus, I think I prefer the more lenon songs, I dont know enough about them to know who wrote what though.

You'd have to be a shape-shifting, flesh eating, lizard monster to not like Bowie.

Behave. Not a chance either of those are bigger. 
 

Maybe not FM with all the personnel changes and Mick being, well, Mick, bit Elton John would definitely be on a par with Macca.

Nah. There's the Beatles, then there's everyone else.

As a live draw, fuck no. You would not see Paul McCartney headlining BBC Radio 2 in Hyde Park or Sixfields Stadium or whatever. You wouldn't see him playing endless arenas on a farewell tour either. He's above all of that.

Not for me. 

The Beatles are bigger than anything there has ever been and ever will be. 

A complete different level.

Do you think so? Elton played Bestival. There’s no way they would have ever got Macca.

The heritage pecking order:

Macca

The Stones

FM/Reg/The Who/The Eagles

Dylan/Neil Young

[Matt42]

So Paul joins the long list of headliners who randomly self confirm and force glasto into making a press release.

Theres been a few which have done that. Can anyone remember who? I think Adele was one.

Literally no one in America knows he's called Macca. (Except the people on this board)

But we would say it Mah-kah. You lot say it Moh-kah.

Names beginning Mc tend to originate from Ireland whilst Mac tend to come from my native Scotland so technically McCartney should be nicknamed Micca not Macca!

Is there any evidence that this is the case. Without wanting to be cynical - is Paul really dicking round on twitter creating cryptic pictures?

Seems fairly plausible that it was agreed relatively recently and both parties fancied a bit of publicity, and for contractual reasons, glasto couldn't announce the other two headliners.
