as its the big G's 40th do we not think that there may be a bit of a retro feel to the festy next year? as in booking some bands that have dropped legendary sets in the past......

it won't be The Cure then.

They don't do exciting, at least they never have at Glastonbury - which is why Glastonbury turned away their approach a few years ago I believe.

When I saw them at Benicassim I almost fell asleep.

[RossTC]

Cant see it being the cure.

Much more likely to be Kasabian, Arctics, Killers maybe even Oasis

it couldnt be anyone as the agent had to be at the awards so if someone on here was to do some digging we could narrow it down a bit? Find out who eavis was speaking to?

[sifi]

my daughter likes them, but was bored half way through a 3 hour set...

[Un Adepte Des Raconteurs]

if it was based on that list, i'd say Elbow get the nod to do a Coldplay / Kings of Leon / Basement Jaxx / Pulp and get a chance to make the step up to the big league.

[dannypal]

i do think bowie will headline, its just a huntch tho

I was at the awards ceremony and during The Cure's set the camera went to Emily Eavis who seemed to be enjoying herself (as was everyone there!).

[FestMonster]

Kasabian would be a good bet i reakon there 07 set was amazing would be a good band for the 40th anniversary to start things off

[mike99]

think it could be the libertines. as emily does love them.

Pete Doherty has said that The Libertines will reform in 2010 – while former band-mate Carl Barat has claimed that the pair are still The Libertines anyway.

The pair spoke to Neil Cole on NME Radio at the Shockwaves NME Awards last night (February 25) - their only joint interview on the night - with Barat suggesting that he had plans for a solo album before any reformation takes place.

Cole mentioned that if he was interviewing them a few years ago he would have been interviewing The Libertines, to which Barat said: "You have got The Libertines in front of you – what are you talking about?"

Doherty added: "I've been trying to twist his arm about that one," then later said, "2010".

"I always put Pete forward as a little guinea pig," Barat then joked. "Pete solo, that worked out, so I'll do that next year."

To hear the interview at 3pm (GMT) and 7pm today (February 26), tune in through Sky Channel 0184, Virgin Media 975, Freesat 727 or via NME.COM/Radio.

Pete Doherty won the Best Solo Artist award at the bash last night.

Doesn't Micheal always come out with this type of bollox ?

He's not booked anyone for 2010 yet , he just cant help himself

When this years festie is over, just after declaring 2009 the best year ever he will announce that he's already booked the biggest band in the world for 2010
