I sort of expected that after the Superbowl.

Nah, that reads to me as someone who is talking about Glastonbury as a festival Beyoncé has been at.  Or someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

Hopefully she doesn't join them for long. :\

"Last year Kanye West, Foo Fighters, Beyonce, Pharrell Williams and Florence and the Machine were just a few names to take stage at the festival."

I'm not inclined to take much notice of an article that's only 60% accurate about last year's festival.

yeah, I was going to reference that bit. I think it's more of the actual journalists mistake than a direct quote from the dancers.

I know she features on that Hymn for the weekend song of Coldplays but it's not exactly a massive part and seems fairly pointless coming down to Pilton for that.

seems more like a dancer's opinion.

at least it's mildly more believable than the "Adele at the Superbowl" articles though...

tho Beyonce's UK tour seems to have been arranged around a trip to Pilton, so it looks like she sees a point to it.

Beyoncé to make a repeat of the Super Bowl show and totally overshadow Coldplay in every single way

Waa that ever believable?, it was essentially less the word of a daily rag, wasn't even covered by everyone lol.

Well it was supposedly Chris Martin that got her to agree to Glasto or at least spoke to her about it either way......defo don't think it harmed her. I bet she's kicking herself for only allowing 2 dates for Wembley on here tour.

no, but Neil said she was playing it with Coldplay a couple of times and the only mentions I could find at the time online were "news" sites around Indonesia who seemed to be basing it on very little.

Tickets available for Adele's sold out London shows available for £24k each. Maybe she'll be a sub or something...

I reckon both Beyonce and Rihanna will pop up as guests to try and quash those feelings that its Coldplays 4th time headlining. Will also fit in with those weird supergroup plans rumoured last year.

Perhaps Beyoncé is planning to lug her kit up the hill above the Park and do an acoustic set in the Crows Nest?

Sarcasm is usually hard to detect on-line...

I think this will be right up there with The Stones for the Eavis' as their biggests achievement for a headliner yet, it would be her only outdoor show and festival on the whole tour as well. 

[nban2010]

Oh without a doubt. Regardless of the personal opinion of people, Adele is not only one of the biggest coups of the festival yet but its by far the biggest booking that music right now probably could offer.

But she is not for everyone so fair enough. I personally cannot wait until I ugly cry to Someone Like You on sat night.

I'm just starting take more notice now with hopes of getting a ticket in April. So away from the Pyramid and Other, who do we reckon is likely for WH, John Peel and The Park headliners? Is it definitely looking like LCD Soundsystem on the Friday? If I get lucky then New Order will be my Saturday sorted, but I would be keeping my options open for the other nights.

Earth Wind and Fire look set to headline west holts which would be jolly good fun. I can see James Blake playing there aswell. Other than that its really anyones guess. Hopefully more stuff will start leaking. I can see Air headlining the park although thats driven by nothing more than my own selfish desire!
