Why is it whenever I post on here efestivals instantly reply to me, but to no one else! I swear you guys are trying to silence me?

hey, I'm just passing on what I know. It's not personal.

I let some of the macca ones go, and other times I put it back out there hoping people will catch on  to it.

Are you allowed to share this info that completely rules out Paul McCartney

I have done already, many times.

It came from the mouth of Nick Dewey (Emily's husband) around a month after Michael was on camera suggesting Macca was likely.

[ThomJG]

And you don’t think he might have said that simply to stop the rumours it would start because they don’t want people to know?

I get that! But i find it hard to just accept your word as final, could you tell us the info that rules him out?

see just above

[ThomJG]

If that’s all the info you have doesn’t it seem a little naive to say out right it’s not happening! Nicks not going to let anything slip at this point. He’s not going to turn around and say oh yeah, Paul McCartney is headlining there you go!

the standard thing that happens when talking to efestivals is that they swerve stuff about what might happen, and they're happy to pass on what isn't going to happen in the hope it kills off false speculation.

I can't guarantee Macca isn't on the cards of course, but I'll be hugely hugely surprised if he's really in the running. 

[ThomJG]

Well that seems fair enough I suppose. Don’t suppose you have any not happening info on any others like Taylor Swift, Foals, 1975?

nope.

[Gnomicide]

I've not heard either of those Taylor Swift songs posted but have heard a few others. The ones I can name off the top of my head are Blank Space (which I actually quite like) and Shake It Off (which is fucking abysmal).

She's definitely headliner material though, not quite sure how she will set the whole festival on fire but knock yourselves out.

Don’t post a lot on here but always reading the posts! This is my prediction, just wondering what everyone’s opinions on it are:

•Fleetwood Mac

   -Noel Gallagher’s HFB

 

•Taylor Swift 

   -Foals

 

•Paul McCartney 

   -Paolo Nutini 

 

LS -> The Kinks

Paolo is probably too small for that slot, I have him 4th down currently on the pymild (tho I wouldnt be suprised to see him 3rd down too)

[Matt42]

Yeah usually Nick and Emily are being honest when they rule someone out. If they dodge the question it usually means more but if someone isn’t playing they will tell you.

Emily has intervened many times to quash rumours etc.

Also re the 1975, Taylor Swift, Elton John - I definitely feel like that’s a balanced lineup which would do well for me. One night at the pyramid for a “must see”.

Perhaps it will be Foals instead of the 1975 but who knows. Also Fleetwood instead of Elton seems a bit strong imo, I don’t know why.

They’ve always had mainstream pop music, it just wasn’t headlining festivals.

Yup. It's the fact that lowest common denominator is now seen as the zenith that's depressing. My first three albums I bought as a nine year old were all pop, then generally you realise that there's so much more. It's like going to the best restaurant in the world and seeing the wine list is just different flavour Fruit Shoots.

Yeah but you’re blaming Fruit Shoots rather than the restaurant or the clientele.

It's almost as if there isn't shit rock music, shit hip hop music, shit dance music, shit rap music and so on.

We don’t need to always go there dude.

Fruit Shoots are nice but I hate the stupid little bottle they come in.

I think we all are.

Does anyone know if Pilton Party usually gifts info? Other than the acts playing being back next summer, that is.

One thing about summer getting away from us is I’m pretty sure we always have a serious, sorta substantiated rumour before the end of September.

Yeah it was around this time last year we first heard about The Cure and @Gucci Piggy started sliding into people's DM's wasn't it? We could do with something like that to distract us before ticket day.

We don’t need a repeat of last year’s naughtiness.

I can't see a better closer for 2020 than Macca and wouldn't be surprised if they asked him this year while touring if he was up for it.

bubble bursting.

Well I can live with the 1975 headlining Friday seeming as i have to miss the headliners that night for a wedding in Berkshire.

[robillustrates]

Why can't Fleetwood Mac headline and EJ is the legend, perfect for the legend spot tbh.

i'm pretty sure he'd agreed to do it in 2019 and then dropped out (and replaced by the Killers). It certainly fits with what Emily has said.

And i'm also pretty sure that at the point he dropped out it became clear that 2020 wasn't a possibility either.
