Strong rumour AC/DC for sunday

[Lauz_Abbott]

oh god no......had their album on at work on repeat - cant take anymore!

[meatyparson]

if oasis are there i defo wont be !

[Martin Ashford]

I'm guessing AC/DC are high on the wanted list. Their world tour will be one of the biggest grossing next year and fits a pattern of booking the biggest grossing touring rock act of the year - 2007 Rolling Stones, 2008 Police, 2009 ??????. Makes perfect sense to me. They are also pure live entertainment and go in for seriously big stage shows. Perfect!!

i really reckon kings of leon could headline this year.

they have just announced 2 dates in the uk for june next year. one of them being 02 arena the monday after iow (15th)

so i reckon they could do it. the other confirmed date is MEN arena in manc. on 22nd june.

as for which day its gotta be friday really hasnt it.

i think they would be ideal to headline as they have just made their step into the mainstream with sex on fire and the new album, and have a huge fan base.

as for AC/DC, well that would be amazing. cant see it happening tho, more likely to play download on same weekend, theyve been downloads no.1 act to headline for many years now.

A member of my family is friends with Mr Giddings, and, he was told Kings of Leon will NOT be there, but will be at reading and Leeds, The Killers will not be there (yippee!), but will be at V fest. And that's all. Straight from the horses mouth! Who knows, the no to KOL may be throwing people of the scent or they simply may not be coming! We shall wait and see..

[gazza_20]

well all would seem right and the killers but not for uk v for the aus one as its been confirmed along with snow patrol

[ziggy stardust]

yeah i've heard killers for V. i know theyve been announced for aussie V, but that doesnt mean they wont do uk.

shame about KOL i saw them at glasto last year and thought they were excellent headliners and since then theyve made a step up in popularity. i really am curious as to who the headliners are gonna be now. im pretty sure oasis is sat tho.

when will an announcement be? its gotta be before xmas i reckon. maybe theyll only announce one of the headliners at first...?

[rosierosie]

Gutted if KOL wont be there!!! I was really excited about them. Does your contact to the Giddings have any leaked info on who will be there??? Please say the shortlist contains... Fatboy Slim, MGMT, Courteeners, Reverend and the Makers, Hot Chip, Kasabian, Guns n Roses, New Order and topped off with a reformed Smiths!!!

Am I close???

[Mooncake]

Haha, unfortunately he said nothing!! Only mentioned about KOL and the Killers. Said nothing about Oasis or BS either! If KOL arent there who will it be! Suggestions!?

[russellelly]

And please please please - Brian Wilson for the legends slot on the Sunday afternoon (I say this every year and nobody listens)

Bruce Springsteen now a strong rumour for Glastonbury...assume this makes IoW less likely?

Strong rumour AC/DC for sunday

[irons]

It wont happen. ACDC are on a world tour and NO festival will get them in '09

[eFestivals]

Reading and Leeds have got them, maybe.!

I'm pretty sure that they haven't.

[thomasowen]

I'm pretty sure that they haven't.
