[Zoo Music Girl]

I for one was being deadly serious.

I've heard the best way of getting some things in is to bury them before the fence goes up...

Garlic and Holy Water will make it through the security no worries as long as you carry the latter in a plastic bottle.

How have I never thought of this? Forget T day...

[CaledonianGonzo]

You could borrow James Bugg's coffin.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though he'll probably need it back at some point for his career.

Aren't zombies already dead?

Is there any chance that Depeche Mode would end up back in the running for 2015?

I was a drunken mess with an awful combination of Guiness and Cider at the weekend and ridiculed the suggestion from a friend that Depeche Mode are going to headline in 2015 ( as much as he protested that it came from a farming source near Pilton)

Now that the fug has cleared my head - they were in the 2014 running/thoughts until fairly late on, is there a chance of them for next year?

They weren't in the running by late on.

I'd heard about convos for headlining 2014 long before the 2013 festival happened. In fact, I had more names for headlining in 2014 than I had for headlining in 2013 at that moment in time.

By around the end of the 2013 fest I was starting to hear that it was unlikely they'd headline because they didn't want to continue on the road for another full year, and I hinted at them already looking unlikely in the article where I first revealed them as a possible headliner for 2014.

Whether it will actually come about somewhen will I guess depend on how well doing Glastonbury might fit into their wider touring plans (including considerations about how it might adversely affect sales elsewhere, I'd guess).

Nope. Having a break for a while (or so i have been told)

I think we can consider Radiohead highly unlikely for next year, not that I was expecting them, if they're only just starting to write new stuff.

[Mardy]

Shit band. No redeeming features. Detest their music

Mind you, if we've moved onto Radiohead, and indeed the Beatles, my post still stands

What about the Eagles?

[dentalplan]

only one year to write an album..... how did The Beatles manage it? (roughly a couple of albums each year)

Being the greatest songwriters of all time helped.

Come on, man. That Stevie Nicks stuff is largely awful, but the Peter Green stuff is excellent.

[Gnomicide]

[Amy Lawn]

Looks like a deleted scene from This Is Spinal Tap.

[Gnomicide]

Spinal Tap were never that funny.

[FloorFiller]

Not really kept up on this thread, but the "Would Kanye At Glastonbury Work?" thread has got me excited at the idea of him headlining... Is it more hope and speculation, or is there any sort of evidence that might support my hope?

The thought of Ye headlining Glastonbury is like this...

i'd absolutely love him to headline, but the only real thing pointing to him headlining is that he has an upcoming new album and will no doubt he touring that album in the coming year, and that's about it. so yeah, just hope and speculation at this point. fingers crossed though

The Peter Green era had some sporadically great tracks -I'm particularly fond of Man Of The World - but nothing to even touch the hem of something like Rhiannon.

Glad someone gets it.
