no Kylie, no radiohead

[kaosmark2]

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.

Ho hum. Could be pleasantly feelgood. Coldplay?

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

Havent coldplay got a Album coming out soon ? Maybe they are a good shout ?

I'm hearing that they want to do the new album at Glastonbury in 2009 and not 2008.

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

[Neil]

If Basement Jaxx. Arctic Monkeys, Killers, can headline the festival then the Verve can easily take the top spot.

Basement Jaxx were only headliners because Kylie was ill. The Killers were only headliners because Muse couldn't do it.

Similarly, I'm of the opinion that if The Verve turn out to be one of the headliners, they won't be the Festival's first choice either. I reckon that Kylie and Radiohead were above them on GFs want list.

Aye I know they were not first choice, but at the end of the day they still headlined the festival as GF thought they were adequate replacements and worthy to headline IMO the biggest festival music headline spot you can get in the world.

If they got that decision right is another matter

One mans love is another mans nightmare as they say (Or womans)

Its hardly like your going to struggle for an alternative band to watch is it

[William of Walworth]

To be honest I couldnt care less who headlined, as long as im at the festival thats all that matters to me!

[oafc0000]

Is that a definate truth?

So eavis wanted Muse in 2007 after they'd played 2004, wanted Radiohead in 2008 after 2003 and may also want REM in 2008 after 2003.

The headliners are beginning to get a bit monotonous me thinks

[Petewasbristol]

This is what the whole Glasto thing comes down to in the end.

I'm interested who headlines/appears on the big stages, and will get along to see a few of the bigger acts, but it's the overall vibe that counts most. And I'm as likely/more likely to be checking out some small stage (or, in 2008, working a shift) as going anywhere near the Pyramid.

I'll be sorry if/when Radiohead don't make it, but it doesn't really matter ....

[Vectrex]

Think it's a shame that Kylie won't be playing at Glastonbury 2008. As I was looking forward to seeing her play in 2005. Then that got cancelled due to her health. Then she couldn't play this year. Nor next year either. Oh well. Hopefully 2009!

Couldn't really care less who's on the lineup though. I goto Glastonbury because it's Glastonbury!

[William of Walworth]

Kylie does do other shows apart from Glastonbury...

[oafc0000]

I think it cost my wife about £45 to watch her....hardly the worse I have seen....

[Clash City Rocker]

I still cannot understand why anyone would want to see Kylie.

[benisright]

ditto

[Cardboard Box City]

But it would be great to see her play Glastonbury

[idledown]

my sources from RH themselves have said maybe, maybe not... I'd tkae that as a no.

[The_Fish]

Neil, you think there is much chance of Elvis Costello playing this year?
