I dont think I would like Florence headlining but thats just my personal taste - i think she sounds like she's gargaling mouth wash when she's singing.

Wouldn't mind her headlining a tent or second top of the bill. But I would steer well clear.

Kraftwerk, Prodigy, DP, MGMT, Massive attack and Sven would actually make a festival for me even if no one else played.... Would never happen in one year IMO though unless they were going to have 3 main stage dance headliners.

Kraftwerk should be on the main stage, either headlining or just before the headliners, IMHO.

Florence & The Machine, and god forbid Mumford & Sons, are far too TITP, but that seems to be the way things are heading.

I got this last night from Orbital's facebook and fook me it's exciting. The idea of them touring or playing Rockness again would just be immense. Plus they are working on a new album. Their post below:

so last call for anyone leaving tomorrow for glastonbury, don't forget we are DJing on the arcadia stage 1.45 till 3 saturday night/sunday morning if you know what i mean. we are preparing loads of our songs from the new album to play out , as many as we can get ready before friday night! should be a really special one off set! can't wait...see you there?

Orbital on the Arcadia. BBC better be recording this.

Quite like the idea of QOTSA as a rockier headliner idea actually, more than enough material to pull it off and would be something different. In the same vein wouldnt mind them approaching Pixies, probably not as big as QOTSA anymore but huge cult act, massive catalogue of songs and a special attraction if they can make it sort of an exclusive.
