Still there it is.

GOOD!!! she should stick to doing what she does best, getting half naked on her videos...Can u imgine her at glastonbury? fuckin hell man i know shes been through some shit the past year but nah, that would wrong her at a festival like that.

delete the UK etc.

altho he may be right that it would wrong her

“Kylie Minogue will the play Cameron election rally”

She never him!

And still not the changed been has it.

So does this thread exist because of a typo, or because Kylie not playing the festival is worth discussing? Because if it’s the article, there are worse things wrong with it.... like the fact they acknowledge that Michael Eavis is the head of the festival in paragraph two, but the rest of it seems to be quotes from some Emily Eavis who remains unidentified.

Would not the power of basic logical thought lead you to suspect a connection of some obscure kind between the two?

‘who the fuck let girls aloud in here?’ is an article in this week’s nme.

Well, if you like, I could start another thread discussing the other aspect of this.

xpost Article, or Letter?

Emily Eavis is his mother, I think.

Well yeah, I could go out on a limb and say they’re related, but that doesn’t mean it’s good writing. Is she co-coordinator, or did Michael just let his wife (correction, mother?) answer the phone this morning and field questions?

x-post

it doesn’t say that she has any power — miguel is ‘festival chief’, but what’s her role?

(I wish I’d said grandmother now)

There’s lots of indie love for kylie, she’ll be fine. I’m almost certain her set will be terrible, but I bet it’ll go down okay.

erm but she isn’t playing.

OTM, it’s hard work.

Emily’s his ruddy daughter man!

Not:

Michael: Ooh, I’d like Kylie to play, please!

Emily: No you’re not! She’s a very naughty girl!

Michael: Cor blimey Oi’d loike Kylie to play in moi fields, she’s a roight bit o’ stuff an’ all ar har!

Emily: No you wouldn’t, for she is Tory scum.

Michael: Off with ‘er ‘ead! Did Wat Bonnie Tyler die in vain?

why should we know who this fucking guy’s daughter is? and even then, they don’t say ‘effective show runner emily eavis’; they just assume.

and to assume is to make an ass out of u and me.

in a very selfish mood—i’m glad she aint playing.

if she was to headline i would have been soooo very upset at the fact i cant go this year (her proposed headline in 05 was one of my primary reasons to get the signoff on the homefront to experience 5 days of unadulterated kid free selfish pleasure)

He is a widower, he’s not fucking anyone. Or maybe he is. Not Kylie though, prob.

why should we know who henry k miller is? that’s just assuming he’s somebody.

Yeh, but if she were . . . oh, fuggetit.

5 hours later: typo is still there. (front page too)

did they ever confirm the identity of the big mystery band was that is playing glastonbury but hasn’t played together in 30 years?

Oh god they better not replace her with Basement Jaxx again.

I thought it was Genesis, but when they were “Oh, Peter can’t make it” Michael showed them the door.

Especially when he heard the addendum “but we’ve had confirmation from that guy out of Stiltskin!”

ominous statement about this year’s fest not being dominated by headliners. i mean they never have a bill that in any way rivals say BENICASSIM but for him 2 actually admit so 5 months ahead of the fest...god who’s he got coming?!

Female duo, currently doing well on downloads probably.

Ooh, they have fixed the headline.

Female duo, currently doing well on downloads probably.

Lembit Opik presents The Cheeky Girls, you mean?

Kasabian play ‘best show ever’ in London

Kasabian played one of their biggest indoor shows ever tonight (December 19) in London...Rounding off the show with ‘LSF’ a visibly moved Meighan added: “This has been the best gig we have ever done I swear to God. Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year. We’ll see you at Glastonbury yeah.”

——

(bangs head on desk)

Considering Eavis usually bangs on and on about how amazing the headliners will be for months beforehand (even if they aren’t), this either means:

a) They haven’t actually managed to book anyone yet

b) The headliners will actually be good this year

c) Keane, Kasabian and Muse will headline

Right now, I’m going for C.

http://i13.tinypic.com/3yxot3o.gif

As previously reported, Coldplay are set to mount a South American early next year.

Keane, Kasabian, Muse? NO NO NO NO NO

Keane

Rod Stewart

Chemical Brothers

Most likely.

Either way, as ever, I won’t be seeing any of them

kasabian

arctic monkeys

sugababes

Oooh, cold.

Kasabian it probably will be. but Eavis likes the new band/old band/pop(or popular dance) Friday/Saturday/Sunday formula so not Arctic Monkeys as well. Sugababes could have done it a few years ago but not anymore.

DAFT PUNK people, DAFT PUNK!!!!!!

Where did you hear this?!

(I suspect the screamingly obvious truth is that they will replace Kylie with the Scissor Sisters).

who cares about daft punk any more?!

or indeed, like, glastonbury, or the scissor sisters

You’ll need to try harder than that Les.

Especially given the current creative fertility of house and techno music!

You’ll need to try harder than that Dom.
