Headliners in 2010?

[ArcticMonkeysUK]

Festival organiser Michael Eavis has claimed to have booked one of the headliners for next year's Glastonbury Festival.

Michael Eavis negotiated the deal at last night's NME Awards, and told Teletext's Planet Sound (here), "I've booked the Friday headliner after talking to someone's agent an hour ago. It's the 40th anniversary in 2010, and we're also hoping to seal a really amazing anniversary headliner soon."

The Cure I hope! It'd make sense if he was at the NME Awards ! Must have been a band who attended the awards.

I'm going to guess Muse...but The Cure is a really good guess as well.

[strudders]

Great Hawkwind will be playing then! Fantastic!

I may have read an article wrong, but I thought I'd read somewhere a quote from him saying that he had just got off the phone to someones agent and confirmed the booking.

Therefore it could be anyone on Earth, he just happened to be at the NME awards when it was all finalised.

[deegs]

not really, seeing as it was an agent ME spoke, and there would have been hundreds of them, representing hundreds of bands that were not even there

I'd love to see Arcade Fire headline in 2010.

It's been pointed out on another thread but - Michael Eavis makes claims like this pretty much every year with varying end results. If he's claiming to have booked a headliner for 2010, it probably doesn't mean they're signed and sealed, there's every chance that a band has just made an initial enquiry about the possibility of playing..

[mineapolis]

Muse will be there.

[Paul ™]

I heard it's Prince

[irons]

I heard it's Prince

[brettredmayne]

I expected this thread to be full of Prince, U2, or Radiohead....................for a change

David Bowie?

[russycarps]

I'm hoping for Kooks, Snow Patrol and Razorlight.

I know it is a lot to hope for but hopefully ME will pull out all the stops, what with it being the 40th anniversary

[russycarps]

Sorry, why would he have to pull out all the stops to get these as headliners??? They aren't good enough to headline imo! This would be truely the poorest set of headliners ever!!! The only band id actually consider watching out the three, and it would depend on what else was on, is Razorlight. This would be truely poor! And shit, and bollox, and f**king ridiculously disapointing!

[mr_smiss]

Irony detector?

[alframsey]

Irony detector?

[DaleM]

From me? Or from russy???

If its from me then there certainly in no irony!!! I would be truely shocked they were to headline!
