Radiohead Fri Pyramid.... 4th headliner?

[Limpet]

I've seen a couple of rumours flying around that Radiohead are headlining the Fri night and Neil Young has been moved to play before Springsteen on the Saturday. Apparently they were in advanced stages to headline a rival festival but it fell through at a late stage. They are keen to do something special after the success of last summers outdoor gigs...... Glastonbury maybe?

Would be good, they were absolutely amazing last time I saw them there, and I know the Eavis's are keen to get them again.

Just a suggestion that this could have been put into one of the other 28 discussions about the fourth headliner?

...thats what I've just said on another one of the many "4th headliner" threads!!!!

[Bradders]

You got a source for this?

A guy at work has "heard" and is convinced that Beyonce is headlining, so just hearing stuff doesn't mean much.

[irons]

Beyonce? That's a new one. Doubt she's realy headlining material for Glasto thou. I'm convinced now that it's the Monkeys.

OMG another Radiohead thread!

[dacbo]

whilst this is highly unlikely to be true it'd make my day if it was :-)

But if he heard it off Beyonce's father of something then you might sit up and take note yeah?

All I will say is that I heard from a very good source straight after last years festival who they were trying to get for this year, and it looks like those names will be confirmed very soon (although I don't think that the whole Neil young, Springsteen thing is much of a surprise because he has been after them for ages). Its just only recently that I've seen the Radiohead rumour start appearing again on various sites. I spoke to 'source' last night and although he didn't confirm anything he did suggest that this may be more than just a rumour and an announcement will be made Feb 2nd.

i would like too see foo fighters headline

[Joshuwarr]

Limpet, what is your source?

He kept his cards very close to his chest but I did get to find out a few bands that will be playing........

Radiohead/Neil Young/Springsteen/Blur would quite frankly be an audaciously brilliant lineup. Four legendary acts. Anyone that wouldn't be satisfied by that needs their head checking

However, even though I would love this to be true these "rumours" tend to be nothing more than that. According to eFestival's reliable sources (on past experiences, and these are the same guys that predict springsteen/young/blur) Radiohead are not playing - however, I suppose that the back story of them previously being in advance stages to headline another festival gives your rumour credence without discounting the more reliable sources.

In summary - I trust eFestivals over you, but you never know, and this would be a dream development for me and many others. Fingers crossed. Eavis seems to think that the 4th headliner will be a big surprise though...

[Limpet]

And? Don't leave us in suspence, what bands did he mention?

[Sweep]

Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes? Bonza.

You not pulling us one? Because on the basis of that info I will happily pay for my whole ticket right now... if neither end up the bill I wouldn't be best pleased

[Paul ™]

I simply don't believe you

[strudders]

If what you are saying does come true then I think it is fair to say that with will be one of the best Line ups ever.

So fingers crossed that it does.

Hmmmm.......... this is interesting

Maybe that justifies paying for at least half of your ticket

[Boss84]

Would love it if the Radiohead thing was true, think Neil young would be much better suited before Springsteen but still reckon Neil Young could pull a decent crowd.

[Originalshez]

Radiohead before Bruce...What people think is a good live band, then get shown what the greatest live act around actually is!

[Shanndy]

Let's face it, anyone could predict Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes will be there with a fair amount of certainty.

[harper11]

the only rumour going round is Reading wanted Radiohead but no deal was agreed

but that they are still keen on headlining somewhere

and it wont be IOW or V so.....

Green DAy, Kol and Artics for Reading is a very homogenous set of headliners

but would appeal more than Bruce and Neil for the non octogenarians

[brettredmayne]

Please don't get my hopes up for nothing
