Dirty Digger again. Big exclusive this morning claiming Liv's a lock.

that is brand new information! 😆

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh no. I've fallen into the trap of the constant circular debate as to who will headline.

[stuie]

Eminem anyone?

I suspect he will have laughed in their faces at the offer, given it was well into seven figures the last time he did Reading.

 

I know the offer was made. I'd be amazed if it actually happened.

You are posting this in a headliner discussion thread …. Not quite sure what you expected to find here tbh 

We go over and over and over and over and over, like a monkey with a miniature cymbal, the joy of repetition really is in you

@mufcok on that note, anymore news/intel you can give with who you think/heard the third headliner might be then? If you say ‘you’d be amazed if it actually happened’, surely Eminem is out?

The bit about me being amazed is purely personal opinion, knowing what he's been paid at other UK festivals. Strikes me as a similar sort of situation to Madonna - festival keen, but priced out. The only bit I know for sure is the offer part, rest is purely opinion.

 

To answer your question in a couple of ways:

 

I'd say two are up in the air. Fred Again (unless I've missed something) seems to be purely speculation without substance right now. And I include myself in that. I've been saying I think he'll headline since I left Worthy Farm in June but I've not heard a thing. Just personal opinion.

 

I've had two bits of information (separate to Rodrigo), neither of which involve Fred. If/when I'm confident enough - I'll share. Right now, I want more on them before I put my neck on the line.

Can I just clarify slightly - is that two bits of information about a single act, or about two separate acts?

Separate. I trust one slightly more than the other, but neither can I hang my hat on just now.

 

What I would say is it suggests, apart from Rodrigo, things are very much at offer/negotiation stage for one, possibly two, slots.

Are either of these two acts female?

Blink once if one of the acts is Sam Fender. 

[mufcok]

There will be no blinking nor gender reveals today.

 

When I'm confident - you'll know 🙂

we’ll get back the never ending circular discussion then 😂

[northernangel]

Purely from what the main bloke has said, I reckon Fred was a very early on who's pulled out due to album non reaction. Liv is likely and Fred is in negotiation after a very lose idea of Foos.

 

Sheeran, Olivia and Sam can't be ruled out. If you are getting to Sheeran again though just pop Biffy Clyro on there so they've done it. I know they won't but I don't think it would be badly received.

Can't imagine Emily would be in too much of a rush to book Foos after Grohl's recent PR, given a good alternative.

Who cares about him having a baby out of wedlock? As if every other artist on the bill lives up to a better standard of behavior.

Michael Eavis is a member of the Methodist church and has deep religious beliefs. These have probably been passed down to his children.

[nikkic]

One of the main stages was named after a nonce. 

I think Dave Grohl throwing his willy around would be overlooked. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Actual Mick Jagger has headlined.

[NorthernSoul52]

Wait, has Fred been bounced now? 

 

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one, etc, etc.

THink the Rolling Stones have a fair few out of wedlock kids between them. this will not be an issue. 

 

One of them has even slept with a few minors 

[Ben7amin_]

To be fair feel sorry for Dave Grohl -  Obviously what he has done is sh*tty -  but compared to the behaviour of some of his fellow rockstars who have has nowhere near the same negative coverage for equal or worse behavioir seems very disproportionate in terms of negative coverage
