Never mind you students, I have a job - an actual job where I am paid to do a particular type of work that does not involve reading forums about festivals. I am going to be sacked, my career will be ruined, and the quality of the rest of my life will be significantly reduced. I BLAME EVERY ONE OF YOU.

tom22 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Watching Blur's 2009 Hyde Park gig on YouTube at the moment. Would be great if they were #3. Particularly if weather was the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael eavis' beard Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Recap on the 3rd headliner mystery ... Nothing new in here but at least it has got me 5 minutes nearer to the announcement ! From everything we have been told and that Neil has gleaned, it appears that it has to be someone that fulfills all or most of the following criteria :- 1. An act who is currently free to play on Sunday 28 June 2. An act who is playing in (or near to) the UK around that date. 3. An act who has shows around the time, either before or after, that have not Sold Out yet, or where they have signed an "exclusivity" clause. 4. Probably a British (or Irish) act (3 non-UK headliners would be a departure for Glastonbury) 5. It is not necessarily someone who the Eavii have been after for some time 6. It appears to be a recently approached replacement booking It cannot be :- Muse The Who AC/DC It could be :- Blur Fleetwood Mac Florence & The Machine Yeah I think point number 1 is pretty key here!

I was employed last year and due to shift work and life in general I didn't even realise that mini-poster came out until about a week later. I don't know if that was better or worse.

Space Shanty Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 highlights of the festival, aside from playing real life 'metal gear solid' all wednesday night, were '!!!', 'fat freddies drop', 'mr scruff' and 'square pusher' who was so good i actually followed through (although that could be attributed to the dodgy diet and copious amounts of pear cider i'd consumed) and missed a good part of his set sorting it out. I have to say I agree with him that !!! were the highlight in 2007. I'd never heard them before that Friday afternoon in one of the big dance tents but they were brilliant. Saw them again somewhere else over the weekend as well. Fat Freddy's Drop are excellent live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan.wills Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 What is the chance that Paul Simon + Sting could bring there weird (weirdly brilliant) collaboration tour to the farm in some form? Apparently it is / they are strangely brilliant. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/apr/14/paul-simon-sting-review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
