Rumoured to play, according to Q magazine that goes on sale tomoz (If you didnt see this in Mikes thread)

Also a story about Michael writting an emotional letter to Bruce Springsteen to play, which Emily had a copy framed. Wonder what it said!

http://news.q4music.com/2009/02/springstee...d_for_bruc.html

online article.

edit: see that it reports that eavis wants to keep the 4th headliner under wraps. Kinda hope there's no huge clashes, as that slot could be stunning or incredibly disappointing (ie. if it's keane, razorlight etc).

edit again: surely white stripes must be unlikely unless Young isn't playing. wouldn't fit with the 2 english, 2 american (if ignoring young's canadian), and surely they'd make a big deal that it was 5 headliners if they got white stripes again and they weren't the 4th. I know they've been on hiatus, but they're still pretty big. Saying that tho, it is from Q, who are linked to the festival, and the rest of those names listed are ones we've known about as pretty definitely playing (bar cs&n, but if they're touring on the monday, and Young's headlining, I could definitely see them making their way to glasto aswell, if just to play as guests for a couple of numbers on Young's set (tho I'd love their own set aswell)), probably gives weight to the possibility. I see efestivals has updated white stripes to "strong rumour" status; would be interesting to see if that's just on the basis of this article or corroborating sources.

White Stripes would be absolutely awesome! Under Blur? Or is that just crazy?

Wow!

Possibilities:

1. White Stripes and CSN playing. (And presuming neil young and blur are headliners, this means if they played, neither would be the 4th headliner)

2. Michael Eavis really wants to keep this 4th headliner a secret, which means it could be somebody really big or unexpected.

3. That the 4th headliner won't be revealed until the actual festival ("determined to keep one act a secret until they go onstage"), they will be a secret or TBC act on the lineup.

Sounds very promising, although I'm pretty sure Stereophonics had something similar when they headlined, so the 4th headliner might not be that good! :rolleyes:.

ALSO

Didn't the original information Neil got about the friday headliner something along the lines of

'older act with or without a band'.

CSN and young could be completely seperated here but does anyone think there might be a small possibility that the 'band' might be CSN?

you're reading things in between the lines that just ain't there. :rolleyes:

Neil Young was the act I was on about (tho I didn't know that at the time).

I guess it's possible that C,S&N could play with NY, but I think that's unlikely, unless perhaps for just a song or two. Otherwise I'd have thought NY would be playing their Ireland date too.

As far as I'm aware tho there's no issue between NY and the other three - i'm pretty sure that he's toured with them in the last few years. I think it's just the case that he likes to do his own thing most of the time.

In that instance it was because they were on the bill for V. The agreement that was struck between V and Glasto (and perhaps involving Stereophiocs themselves too) was that they could be announced as the gates opened or something similar.

It's possible (I'm not saying it's happening, just that it's possible) that something similar is going on with Coldplay this year who have their big shows in September, and that's why they're trying to keep the 4th headliner under wraps.

I was only suggesting a couple of songs, I didn't mean a whole performance. So what do you think the with or without a band thing was then? Bad information? I really don't think he would ever play a full acoustic set as a headline performance.

all that was meant when I said "with or without a band" was that whoever the headliner was (my source was being cryptic at that time, so I didn't know) they were a solo name, and who might be playing solo (as in all by themselves without other musicians) or with a backing band.

Later, when I had other info from elsewhere, I went back to that source with the name Neil Young, and he confirmed that the "solo name with or without band" he'd mentioned was indeed him.

(What you've got to remember is that many of my sources are a bit nervous about betraying confidences, so don't always pass on all they know in a straightforwards way).

regardless of who you like or dislike this is truly turning into a coup of a lineup in historical terms. as neil mentions, and as i've suspected for a while, i still think Coldplay may be the 'secret' act on before Bruce. CMartin adores Bruce, and I'm sure he jumped at the opportunity to come on b4 Bruce. I bet he called ME on it. They don't have egos Coldplay, and think it will boost their image in 'graciously' taking a 'supporting' 4th headliner spot.

we could conceivably have on the pyramid

Fri: Neil Young/White Stripes/CSN?

Sat: E Street Band/Coldplay/Dave Matthews Band?

Sun: Blur/Fleetwood Mac

just trying to think where the CSN bit gets thrown in. would it be Fri b4 White Stripes, and then they come back on for a few numbers during NY's set? and what time slot would BB King get over at Jazz World on the Friday?

also...regarding NY and with or without band. His current (or recent) tour is with a full rocking band, so it's not like we're going to see him up there just by himself.

This is going to even better than 2003! now, let's hope for the WEATHER!!!

White Stripes have said before they don't like the idea of headlining a festival twice, so maybe this is a way around that fear they have. I dunno though, I can;t see it happening definatly not getting my hopes up about this one. Didn't think Fleetwood Mac would be playing, or Radiohead headlining Reading though so who knows

my only thought is if white stripes weren't headlining and weren't the fourth, then surely Eavis would've bigged it up as 5 headliners not 4. White Stripes are still big enough to command headliner status imo.

edit: I guess a lower key performance might help with meg's anxiety or has she fully recovered now?
