Radiohead "probably not" playing Glastonbury

[Superscally]

Interview on XFM right now -

When asked if playing - Thom instantly said "No" while Ed ummed and ah'ed, saying they couldn't really say.

Thom said what normally happens is ME usually announces they're playing and they go along with it, but "he hasn't really said it this year, so no. Probably not"

Ed then said "Are we digging a hole here?" (Positive? Trying to keep it secret or am I just looking for the shred of optimism?)

Then they both concurred: "Don't bank on it - don't rely on us playing. No"

Well that was really conclusive then! Thanks for tieing that one up!

Ive always said it is extreamly unlikely given they have to get from Glasgow to Manchester inbetween there the Saturday night. They may still be contemplating it though, or at least Thom is.

Radiohead "probably not" playing Glastonbury

They're leaving the door well open IMO. Plenty of scope there for things to change in favour of RH playing, I'd say.

Oh well.

Let's hope Robert Plant has the goodwill to do the same

Shut it sarky arse. It's more info than anyone knows on here thus far. So again, shut it.

[Cardboard Box City]

Finally! Some good news about the lineup!

[iwalker]

I do get the impression Radiohead and Coldplay more or less have an open invitation to come and headline.

[timespeedsup]

Confirmations for the likes of Radiohead and Led Zep only after ticket day please.......

(ie let Radiohead wind us up as much as they like, just don't go confirming until after 6/4/08)

blimey...

I think the point was that it doesn't say anything. So it's not really more than anyone knows, as it says nothing. It's not a dig at you...

That's what I thought when I read it, but then I really hoping they play.

Anyone heard any rumours about the Chili's playing? I heard last year they offered to do it for free but were turned down 'cos it was too late. surely that means they'll be a contender for this year, especially if he wants more kiddies going!

[Bradders]

That's a pretty interesting suggestion actually - I've not heard it mentioned, but they can't do V or Leeds/Reading so soon surely and IoW's already sewn up. IF they did want to and they didn't want megabucks - who knows?

[Superscally]

They're not fit to headline Glastonbury after their performance at Reading and Leeds.

[oafc0000]

Yeah I wouldn't welcome it - never seen em play well live, which s bizarre as they're almost like a supergroup talent wise...

[Sparticus]

They werent good at V Fest in 2006....I have only heard radiohead "fans" speak highly of that performance....I was stood there saying to my friends "they are off key" which they where...

[Superscally]

I've seen them three times and thought that v (staffs) was the best.

Think the main problem with the Chili's is that Anthony Kliedis can't sing. I would like to see them again though, the rest of the band are really good imo.
