no Kylie, no radiohead

[Neil]

You have no idea how much i hope the Verve isnt one of the headliners

it looks as tho they're going to be the Saturday headliner - I can't think who else it might be now.

I'm guessing that Muse (if they're playing) will be Friday (Michael got a lot of hassle from locals after having Muse on the Sunday a few years back - they expect him to put on a 'please everyone' act on the Sunday and they didn't think Muse fitted the bill .... hence Kylie being booked for the next year, which I think wouldn't have happened if he'd never have booked Muse).

So that just leaves Sunday.

[Davness]

with the dates of their tour now announced, now do you believe me?

[Neil]

Surely the dates make it even more likely- seeing as theyve left the 28th, the Saturday- ie the slot most likely to be theirs wide open?

Keep hoping if you like.

There's a pint with your name on if they do. I'm sure I won't be buying you a pint.

The sun seem to think radiohead will be saturday http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...ticle539181.ece and you all know if it is printed in the sun is has got to be true

i must admit i'm a bit surprised that Radiohead have scheduled all their UK gigs over Glasto week....with most folks now turning up sometime on Weds its going to make the Tuesday gig the only viable option....and then only for those live locally or who can tie it in with the journey to Somerset.

I appreciate the validity of Neil's sources, but the gap on Saturday, with the above considered, does still stick out like a sore thumb...

Want to put my name on another pint you wont be buying Neil?

It depends if these tour dates were your only information, or if you have festival information. I don't think these tour dates remove the possibility of a Glastonbury Saturday date.

I have festival information, I have (aside from the tour dates) Radiohead information.

I can't state categorically that I'm absolutely certain that they're not playing because i'm relying on what others have told me rather than having direct sources myself. However, the people that have told me that they're not playing have supplied me with extremely accurate information in the past and I have no reason to think what they've told me is any less accurate this time.

But that aside, if all I had was their tourdates I'd still be near enough convinced they weren't playing. Bands who don't work publicly very often very rarely slog their guts out when they do work publicly.

And I'd go so far as to say that it's likely that Radiohead chose the dates that they have done precisely to make it clear they're not playing Glasto.

looks like ill no be travellin the same way as last year then

[harper11]

I'm sure they are - Glastonbury was in one of the possible schedules they'd put together.

Perhaps it's something they've done with Eavis' full blessing. He does, after all, want to lose the old gits from his festival.

[ben_cosmia]

Its either that or go straight to Amsterdam after Glasto which sounds more appealing

[benisright]

Id be shocked though if Verve play, they arent anywhere near big enough to headline.

I was once skeptical of the Verve's size, but after seeing how quick there tickets sold, its clear there fanbase is still there (in there masses) and there is no denying there hot property at the minuite, so yeah they probably could headline.

Neil, if they do glasto, does this mean we wont be seeing them at the CW like you initially suggested we would?

Anybody got any guesses for the sunday, as im all out of ideas.

[Neil]

I still reckon they'll be at Reading/Leeds even if they do Glasto, cos they'll want a big pay-cheque from someone. Reforms are *ALWAYS* about the money.

Best guess (and it is just a guess) at the moment for the Sunday is REM.

[Metal Monkey]

I'm hoping, and admitedly it seems unlikely, that Radiohead are putting people off the scent for Glasto to make sure they sell out the UK tour.

They are playing big venues, and don't have Parlophone to pay to advertise the gigs like they used too, so they might be worried about sales.

Also, I don't like the Verve!

[Cardboard Box City]

that Radiohead are putting people off the scent for Glasto to make sure they sell out the UK tour.

[oafc0000]

But Radiohead are sooooo not about the money and only do non-commmercial festivals... like V

[mynameisearl]

Eeeek am at Glasto when they play Glasgow, so if they don't play there then it could be a London show then to Glasto

[timespeedsup]

So they are going to go all the way from London to Glasgow to Glastonbury back up to Manchester ?? Am I the only one who thinks thats alot of miles! Coupled with Neils sources saying it isnt likely I wont be planning on seeing them...

Although not like I would of watched them anyways

[lobez]

Look at the other tour dates...

The only time they are playing consecutive nights are in the same venue (london, paris)

the logistics of moving their stage show from glasgow to glasto to manchester on consecutive nights just doesnt add up

unfortunately i think Neil might be right....
