Prince, Metallica and Outkast confirmed for Glastonbury 2014 Festival today?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

What I most enjoy about your posts is that you always pick out a bit to quote that seems to back up your argument, twist it slightly to suit what you're saying & then totally discard the bits that go against it.

Have you ever considered being a politician Neil? I think you'd be brilliant at it.

[TheSeventhOne]

So is that Prince out?

[eFestivals]

Hopefully you'll get it out of your system soon, you seem to have been pretty hurt by the whole affair.

Not at all, what i'm actually pissed off about that might be coming thru in my posts is naff all to do with what i'm posting about.

With my posts I'm ripping the piss out of the stupid.

If the stupid are too stupid to see that, never mind.

You think you are...

I don't do pointless.

I do do music biz reality.

Don't worry tone, I'll leave the pointless unrealities for you.

Must be amazing to be right finally.... Especially after being 1 million percent wrong with the Depeche Mode, Elbow an Fleetwood Mac fiasco

except that was 100% right. :

It does help if you're able to read, and able to understand the meanings of words.

And then it also helps if you have access to the re4levant bits of information that I wrote about.

So I'm still ripping the piss out of the stupid.

Discussing the logic of festival rumours is definitely the most accurate way to judge someone's intellect too

music biz logic, music biz logic.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

& if all these 'stupid' people as you so kindly put it didn't speculate/discuss this 'music biz logic, music biz logic' you wouldn't have a site to run, so there's that I suppose.

Neil do you think we are going to see an official line up announcement soon with all the new news coming in or is it still going to be late March?

[UEF]

When Glastonbury themselves know, we'll know.

I imagine the festival office at this time of year is like a swan - calm and serene on the surface, paddling like fuck underneath.

The Saturday metal slot is born.

[Yesiamaduck]

I don't know if this means anything but I posted the news on another forum and someone simply replied 'yeap been booked for months'

[DL50]

How sure are we on Metallica?

I was one of those 'They'd never accept anything but pyramid headliner' people, but I am quite happy to be proven wrong!

Fair play to Lars, Hetfield etc for accepting a lower slot than usual, didn't think their egos would take it

Surely they will get one of the biggest Other Stage crowds ever if they are against The Eagles?

[Badlands]

it will be nothing near the size of the crowd Jessie J got I suspect. That field was rammed.

[russycarps]

Just shuddered at the size of the Newton Faulkner crowd in, IIRC, 2008 on the Sunday. Ridiculous.

[stuartbert two hats]

haha I walked through that one too, just as he was torturing Teardrop. Horrific scenes.

edit: I seem to recall Duffy had a whopper of a crowd too, whenever that was. 2005? Whatever happened to her?

[JBarbour]

Fleetwood Mac Arcade Fire

Elbow Eagles

Depeche Mode Prince Kasabian

Headliners went from shit to shite this year. Is this the year with average headliners and rain making it easier to get tickets come October? Its got to happen sooner or later

And that's missing out the various acts that came between the start and the not-yet-ended too.

some years ago now we got emails freom her re3cord company telling us to take down all photos and revie4ws about her, cos they were going to 'relaunch' her and wanted to control everything about how she was portrayed.

We of course told 'em where to shove it.

We also told them that they'd have done better not to let her make that gawd-awful pepsi ad, and then she might have had a chance at future success without that.

I don't think I've ever heard a word more about her.
