Depeche Mode were in the paper the other day saying they weren't playing due to the rest of the lineup not suiting there sound.

Would have loved to have seen them there as well.

EDIT:Went away from the computer mid post and come back without reading the post above :rolleyes:

Does anyone else think that there may still be a headliner?

For me, this news goes one of 2 ways, either

1) There actually is no longer a fourth headliner or

2) This is a bluff by eavis, i remember him saying that he wanted to keep the fourth headliner secret, but I kinda thought, well that won't happen it'll leak somehow, is it possible that he has tried to kill the speculation here to avoid any possible leaking?

I dunno, but it seems possible, maybe even efestivals solid source is lying to keep it secret?

I'm sure we'll find out when the lineup is announced and if there is a gap under bruce springsteen or not

seeing as our source told us who was lined up as the 4th headliner, it's no bluff.

I read this a few days ago so it might help!

"Depeche Mode have canceled their appearance at Glastonbury 2009 because they say they don’t agree with the other acts on the bill.

Keyboard player Andy Fletcher told the Daily Star, “we do a lot of festivals in Europe but not so many in the U.K. Glastonbury would be fun but the line-up didn’t quite work for us. Getting the right bill is important.”

The recent announcements regarding the line-up that have caused quite a stir around the younger generations of Glastonbury goers and now apparently the bands as well!"

Depeche Mode= 4th Headliner??????

DM were never going to play Glasto - the story is bullshit.

It seems they were asked (tho I'm not 100% on that, it might be that they weren't), but they'd already announced dates for the Saturday and Sunday in mainland Europe, which meant they simply couldn't do it logistically unless they cancelled those already-announced shows, which they weren't prepared to do.

This info came from the lips of Dave G, long before the stories of them supposedly playing came about (which was never true, it was made up by a certain PR man who has a long history of bullshitting), and long before the stories of them supposedly cancelling.

It just seems weird to me that the 4th headliner story is still on the official website. I dont deny that whoever they had might have fallen through , but maybe they are looking for another one

when we were told that there now wouldn't be a 4th headliner we were told that the slot still had to be filled, so it's possible I guess that they'd get someone else .... but it didn't sound like they would be. If they have got someone else then my informed guess would be Kasabian, but that is just a guess.

I guess it's also possible that the band concerned have changed their mind again, and now feel able to play.

But I suspect the most likely reasons it's still on the official website is that either no one has spoken to whoever updates the website to tell them to remove it or that they've forgotten that it's there.

eFestivals, I'm guessing you'll be attending Glastonbury this year,

If you tell us who the Fourth headliner was going to be, I will buy you many many pints and give you many many hugs,

This curiosity is painful :blink:

Haha :)

About this 4th headliner, I'm just as intrigued. I have no idea who it was but if Neil aint saying Neil aint saying and that's only fair!
