'Three biggest bands' set for Glastonbury 2011

howyousawtheworld · 07-09-2010, 11:48 PM

So Michael Eavis has come out today saying that he has the 3 biggest bands lined up to headline next years Glastonbury festival.

"Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis confirmed to eFestivals that next year's Festival will be headlined by "The three biggest bands in the world. You won't believe who we've got." The farmer made the statement exclusively to eFestivals at Friday's Pilton Party 2010.

His daughter Emily, who also organises the event, clarified to eFestivals that the third headliner is not yet a signed and sealed deal but everything is now expected to slot into place. Because Eavis made this new comment so soon after he revealed he hoped to book U2, it looks likely that the third headliner will be the Irish act."

So who could the bands be at the festival which is scheduled for the 22nd to the 26th of June? The safest bets will be on Coldplay and U2. The latter considering have an 8 day break between their Anaheim gig on the 18th June and East Lansig gig on the 26th as part of their North American leg of the tour. As for Coldplay, well the Eavis's have made it no secret that they desire to see one of their favourite bands back for 2011!

So I'm going for

U2 (Friday)
Rolling Stones (Saturday)
Coldplay (Sunday)

They don't come much bigger than those three!

That would be interesting. I haven't heard anything about the Stones in a while, not since the Super Bowl they did.

I'd definitely agree with U2.

I'm not sure about Coldplay just because they're in the middle of recording their new album and I wouldn't imagine. Same goes for Radiohead who I thought might be a possibility and I think there could be a chance, but they would have to release their new album first (then again they have been working on it for a while)

I'd guess Paul McCartney as one of the big acts since he's been playing a bunch of shows all around the world.

I'd expect some sort of album from Coldplay by the end of June. My understanding that they are targetting a end of spring/start of summer releas which would fit neatly with Glastonbury. Could not be though.

Lore · 08-09-2010, 12:11 AM

yeah probably U2 not so sure about coldplay, but probably they'll release their album in may/june

And even though I'd love to see Muse there, it wouldn't make sense because they are not working on a new album.

the_gloaming09 · 08-09-2010, 12:33 AM

That Super Bowl halftime sucked big time.

fietssleutel · 08-09-2010, 01:04 AM

It better not be the Stones.

I'd love to see Radiohead headline out of all the bands mentioned here, but we'll see. It doesn't seem that likely but you never know. And I agree, Arcade Fire must play Glasto next year.

fietssleutel · 08-09-2010, 01:04 AM

Internet is being an arse.
