TIMES ARTICLE - M.EAVIS is a bit indiscrete - RADIOHEAD?

[geospizafortis]

@###### linked to an article from The Times about glasto ---

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle6191633.ece

and in it he says that he is corresponding with people from RADIOHEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yess!!!

and that the artic monkeys aren't going to play (yay! *smirk*) but will be hanging around during the festie

but of course the important news is the stuff about RADIOHEAD....i actually bought a reading day ticket just for them. I frickin' love them to bits!!!!

[darrenbha]

certainly seems an unusual statement to make

[geospizafortis]

am i the only one hyper with excitement right now? (i will, understandably, be crushed if it turns out m.eavis was just toying with the times hack....). but where are all the radiohead fans? i know its early but they should be here, also jumping for joy, etc

[darrenbha]

so mildly excited but nervous about other matters doesn't count then

[Tugger2k]

cant see it happening myself

much more likely for next year IMO

reckon he's just playing with us/the hack

[LRW]

I dont think this will happen. He might of been talking about next year...?

I suppose they could play under Neil?

[sprocketrocket]

I had assumed they were the infamous "fourth headliner", who pulled out due to commiment contracts with other festivals or whatever and stuff.

Reading that though does get me a little bit excited.........

[Gerwin]

I hope Radiohead play. That would be a dream

[danbailey80]

i'm afraid this is most likely about next year...eavis rarely thinks before he speaks bless him and this prob wasn't a deliberate hint about this year...wish it was though obviously

[DaveMac]

Maybe they are going to do a surprise ABBA set on the Bandstand

... Gets coat ...

[Wooderson]

[brettredmayne]

Cant see it this year but may as well keep our fingers crossed.

[ivan]

For all we know their manager might be looking after a new band and would like them to play !

[timespeedsup]

I'm dreaming of an unannounced set at The Park....... but chances are against.

[ramragon]

be a dream come true but cant see it this year, heres hoping though

[Sweep]

Huh. What a strange comment.

In all probability, it's not about this year.

On the other hand, best case scenario: they are the fourth headliner, but not playing on Saturday. Eavis wanted this slot to stay a secret, a surprise, and also Reading & Leeds might have shouting down the phone telling them not to ruin the announcement, so they sent out sources to quash the rumours, spread the word it was off.

...haha, I wish

I got a Reading day ticket just for them too! But, above all else, I just want to see them play the Pyramid Stage.

[pedmills]

Well it seems way too early to be booking next year's acts.

But I guess it must be about next year. Maybe they are doing everything really early because its the 40th anniversary?

ME did say he 'booked' someone at the NME awards recently.

[pedmills]

Of course there is always a chance the journalist got mixed up and wrote the wrong band...

Or even ME got mixed up and said the wrong band....

[Zacko]

Under Neil Young would be amazing, not that it's likely to happen but I can wish. Probably more likely talking about next year... was it a thread on here that someone speculated on Radiohead, Muse and U2 for next years headliners?

[strudders]

What an odd comment to make.

Nearly as odd as the squeak coming from my discovery......

Still I have my Reading ticket but if they do turn up it will be fantastic.

Still I think they are talking 2010 though.

[megamossman1983]

radiohead must be playing another uk festival so whay else could it be? remember according to reading/leeds announcment arctic monkeys are uk exclusive, killers english exclusive and radiohead are not exclusive!!!

[grandadcollective]

Obviously I don't mind seeing Radiohead twice this year but I could have done with not spending my pension on Leeds day tickets for me and my nurse. To be honest though I can't see it happening seeing as they were recently voted best Glasto headliner ever or something. My money is on Saturday night headline slot for next year. Either that or they're playing a secret imaginary set in the tardis like spare annex of my tent for me and the nurse in the wee small hours after which the nurse will probably check the dosage on my meds.

[scudetto_boy]

I'm surprised he's mentioned anything to do with Radiohead, we'll have to wait & see if anything deveopls regarding this topic.

[scudetto_boy]

So folks but i just don't see the big deal & attraction in the band Radiohead. At least if they play, you guys will be happy.

[duckygirl33]

I feel like the storyline of Radiohead and Glasto '09 has been designed just to mess with my emotions: every time I've accepted the fact that they are definitely not playing, something new comes up to suggest they might be.

I'm trying to stick to the realistic part of me that is very skeptical of this news, but there is that little ray of hope in my heart, haha.
