[Northernsoul45]

got to be kate moss, after she's closed up her stall selling Jam for the day....

i'm almost scared to post on this, just a little note, last year at the Big Weekend in Glasgow Chris Martin joined Kings of Leon for a song or 2 (do correct me if i'm wrong) and it became apparent that the band members of KOL are good friends with Chris Martin. This is just a pointer please do not take this as my "announcement" of how i've heard this from a secondary source and i'm claiming it's true

[klipper]

*funny muse comment because I can't think of anything else to contribute*

If it's only two bands which it seems to be. I can't see why Chris Martin needs to be involved and how it would particularly manage to raise enough awareness for the charity. Wouldn't people just turn on the TV and essentially be watching one band followed by another band. Like all glastonburys

[Diva Sam]

its pretty obvious `neil` is going to keep interest in this thread as high as he can for the pageviews has noone figured that out yet? dropping the odd `ive heard it from a credible source` rumour does that plainly well......or am I being to cynical? haha

Nah he got creds innit.

does it?

[Diva Sam]

Where's Mike99?

[Fivefingerjohn]

does it?

That's what the sources are saying

[captainmuscles]

I'm interpreting all of the information as Chris Martin has been involved in the booking and organising (which I think is true), and he has potentially been the one to sort out the Sunday headliner.

What we should be asking now is - who does Chris Martin have ties to? Who are his showbiz mates?

Jay-Z and Beyonce played already and both would be unlikely this year. Chris was probably involved in talking with those two to book Kanye. Maybe that's the involvement that Eavis meant?

[Festival Liam]

Maybe Chris helped book Kanye and Taylor (for her Sunday subheadliner slot). And the final headliner is Blur/Fleetwood. This seems more rational than an all stars charity gig (potentially actually raising very little for charity)

[briddj]

What about AC/DC and Muse? Are they busy?

Felt it was time.

I like how you put his name in inverted commas, like he's a hypothetical concept you're not entirely convinced by.

[thewayiam]

Noel G has done some charity work in his time.

Yeah I'm hoping CM will just waddle on and introduce a couple of his big popstar mates, such as Bowie, then get the hell offa that stage before someone's daft enough to hand him a guitar

[Fivefingerjohn]

I don't know any facts to back this up but I just can't see Noel and Chris Martin getting along? Do they?

[chimpy]

Noel supports teenage cancer trust, he just doesnt seem to be the sort of bloke into doing climate change benefits. Didnt he call Coldplay bed wetters?

[Bonehead> Clapton]

I don't know any facts to back this up but I just can't see Noel and Chris Martin getting along? Do they?

Yea they are alright man, they have played together before a few times!

[fatyeti24]

That's what the sources are saying

thanks.

[5co77ie]

the Chris Martin playing part is untrue

[pedmills]

the Chris Martin playing part is untrue

?

So does that mean the two acts bit is true?

[sloseph]

I like how you put his name in inverted commas, like he's a hypothetical concept you're not entirely convinced by.

I'm starting to think that 'Neil' is actualy Chris Martin

[Inconspicuous]

the Chris Martin playing part is untrue

But the Chris Martin organising part...

[ThePope]

Oasis will only do it for the money.

Eavis said something last year that they had agreed on 2015 headliner on stage just now. Metallica performed last year and they share the same management as ACDC don't they? Or am I mistaken?

Cant see Oasis playing unless someone has already written them a monster cheque for a reunion tour......

[ltfckimbo]

Brilliant, so instead of Eavis narrowing down this final headliner last night, he's made everyone speculate that ALL of the bands are headlining at once!

The man is an unparalleled genius.

[Fivefingerjohn]

Yea they are alright man, they have played together before a few times!

Fair enough. I'm surprised!
