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

[geospizafortis]

I've just had a look at the posts in this topic and I think I'm probably the most optimistic person on here (most gullible/naiive?). My faith in the ability of M.Eavis to do magical things WILL be rewarded this summer *starts praying to thor/science/the flying spaghetti monster, etc)

Lets say they do play, and they Play Friday before Neil. what time will the Pyramid be tied up from with two headliners.

Now I am not one to grumble because It will be magic, but I would guestimate from 6 pm ish.

My bladder will not hold out till then and it will be rammed.

In fact I will go pop.

what do we think? cos Bruce is play super set on Saturday. Could this be a change in scheduling for the Pyramid from old???

Guys you are totally missing the bigger picture here. Eavis has built us a 400k swimming pool! The sun must be due this year

I think its far too coincidental, that hes said this, there was the kerfuffle with Radiohead not being called Exclusive by R+L,

And Neil Young just happens to be adored by them, certainly Thom and Johnny from what I know anyway.

I said stuff like this about Kasabian playing and the pessimists grumbled, so we shall see...

Ugh. I feel like I'm having my emotions toyed with over this bloody Radiohead-will-they-won't-they-play malarky. Enough! Either ME or that reporter is being a bit of an arse by hinting at this if it isn't true. After the fourth headliner let down (I'm not a fan of Kasabian) I won't be gettng my hopes up...

Aaaaaaaaah that would be cool, Arctic Monkeys going to be around site too, possibility of secret gig?

“I just had a phone call from Radiohead’s chap saying: ‘What about this, what about that?’ But right now we’re in at the deep end! We’re putting in pipes! Building a reservoir!"

That was the original quote. Of course, this is all speculation, but my best guess is that 'Radiohead's chap' was calling to discuss possible arrangements for 2010, which Eavis was unable to think about because he was 'in at the deep end' with preparing for this year's festival. It's certainly ambiguous though, and totally infuriating that the journalist is blithely ignoring the most interesting bit of information in favour of a load of crap about water pipes.

The Park is where it's all gonna happen this Year.

2009, the Year of guerrilla secret gigs!

[RodimusPrime]

Bit harsh about the water pipes.

[ThomThomDrum]

more likely talking about next year... was it a thread on here that someone speculated on Radiohead, Muse and U2 for next years headliners?

I sort of know someone who works at w.a.s.t.e she said that they (radiohead) haven't said anything one way or another and she's always been dead on the money

God Daft Punk... that would be amazing.

I'd put money on it saying no, I asked her back in Feb' when I said I wasn't going and and she said she didn't know, I don't like to hassle her about it as it is taking the piss. She knows I am going and love RH so if they were playing I like to think she would have hinted that they were. So... a no from me
