    it's way too early for rumours on Galsto.

    but since I have a ticket I wouldn't mind :)

    T in the Park would be better though! great festival and PJ would go down a storm there!

    It wouldnt surprise me at all
    On glastonbury website Emily Eavis says that they are just"cementing" next years headliners ;)
    The Eavis clan had them on the radar in07
    I agree with Pegasus that pj would indeed go down a storm at Tin the park,but Glastonbury is by far a better festival,little to do when no bands are on at T,no facilities on camp site/no fires/bbqs etc

    Oh, how I want it to be true, that would just be immense, and fulfil a bit of a dream for me!

    I've heard they are looking at the Rolling Stones to headline one of the nights, other rumours are U2, Coldplay, Muse, KoL, David Bowie and Bob Dylan...

    PJ aren't featuring on the bookies lists or majorly rumour sites at the minute though.

    Although, Michael Eavis has promised the lineup will include a band from each year of the festival's history.
    2009 - Manchester. 2010 - Dublin, Belfast, London, Berlin, Arras, Werchter. 2011 - PJ20 i & ii, Montreal, Toronto i & ii, Ottawa, Hamilton. 
    2012 - Manchester i & ii, Berlin i & ii, Stockholm. 2014 - Amsterdam i & ii, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin, Leeds, Milton Keynes.
    2016 - Boston Fenway i & ii, 2018 - Amsterdam i & ii, Pinkpop, London i & ii, Padova, Krakow, Barcelona, Seattle i & ii.

    Pearl Jam at Glastonbury would make my summer, so long as they're not gigging elsewhere during the time the festival is on as I'd want to be there too! :D

    The U2 rumour is just that. Reliable sources on one of the U2 forums has them down as playing in the US over that weekend.
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

    This would be the worst thing ever, so hopefully not.

    The Rolling Stones were today named the bookies' favourites as the headliner to close next year's sell-out Glastonbury Festival.

    Despite none of the acts being announced until next year, tickets for the event sold out within hours of going on sale and now bookmakers and fans are speculating on who will close the final night.

    "We have lost a few quid on the headline act for two years running and it will be interesting to see if punters get it right again," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

    The bookmakers have The Rolling Stones as 4/1 favourites to play top of the bill on the Sunday night next year, with Coldplay and David Bowie joint second favourites at 8/1.

    Oasis, whose guitarist Noel Gallagher quit the group in August are ranked 33/1 down from 50/1 after a number of speculative bets.

    "Right now the brothers may feel that the split is irreconcilable but in the cold light of day they may change their mind and Glastonbury would be the perfect place for a triumphant return," Adams added.

    The full odds on who will close the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2010 with William Hill are:

    Rolling Stones 4/1
    Coldplay 8/1
    David Bowie 8/1
    Muse 10/1
    U2 12/1
    Arctic Monkeys 12/1
    Radiohead 14/1
    Prince 16/1
    Elton John 16/1
    Red Hot Chili Peppers 16/1
    Kings Of Leon 16/1
    Green Day 20/1
    Robbie Williams 20/1
    Stone Roses 20/1
    Madness 25/1
    Spandau Ballet 25/1
    Manic Street Preachers 25/1
    Take That 33/1
    Oasis 33/1

    Glasto died years ago, when the trendies thought it was cool to go there for the weekend.

    I'm with Brisk in that this would be a dreadful occurence.

    Plus Eavis junior seems to have no idea on how to put a line up together unlike her old man....PJ are not nearly cool enough to play this festival...

    They may get to Reading again, or maybe T in the Park...

    The Neil Young set this year was blinding!!
    Plus I think the trendies got fed up with mud and long drop toilets when they could stay in eco pods with en suites at V and Reading. (Saying that I am fancying Reading as well next year)...

    Rubbish. Check out some of the shit that goes down at glasto nowadays, fucking posh campers, champage suites, a casino, it's bollocks.

    Glasto in the 90s was the place to be. Nothing came close. Totally lost it's identity.

    Corporate was a word I thought I'd never use for glasto

    Tickets for glasto have never been easier to get!!!! That's what is funny about this

    maybe you didn't try around 1997-9 - that was hard

    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, but I can honestly say that me or any of my mates have ever been to a casino or drunk champagne at Glastonbury! Cider yes, up to ears in mud - yes, hammering the phones (several at the same time) for hours to get tickets - yes, laughing so much with your mates you end up crying - yes... like anything things have to change and everyone will have an opinion on whether that is for better or for worse, if not they'd still be giving away free milk. I have to say for me Glastonbury is about my mates and the festival itself. It is about music as well, but it's not the same experience for me as going to a specific gig, nor I guess going to a festival like Reading which is more focused on the music if you see what I mean.
    I actually haven't been to Glasto for a few years, and wasn't going to go next year, but my mate wants to, her mum died on Friday after being diagnosed with cancer 6 weeks ago, and you know, it really makes you think sod it, I want to have a laugh, spend time with friends, listen to some good music and make the most of life. Like any experience, it should be what you make it, and will depend on what you want out of it. If people want to go and drink champers, well go ahead my lovelies, but the majority will not be, and I will try my hardest to make sure me and my mate have a great time (however if PJ decide to tour (and aren't playing the festival) my mate wants to see them as well, so we could be getting our deposit back on Glasto to fund a PJ gig) ...

    Have you been to Beautiful Days Festival? Thats a fab smaller festival :)

    You didn't need a ticket between 1997-99 ;)

    Oh, and the problem with Glastonbury is that it attracts the sort of people that call it 'Glasto' :D
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...

  • Glastonbury crowds are too much of a mixed bag to generate the kind of atmosphere you'd want at a massive Pearl Jam show.

    Plus the BBC coverage is shocking. Four or five songs and they'd switch to another stage, leaving you screaming in frustration at the TV!!
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    Beautiful Days is great!
    I love The Levellers, I've seen them so many times I've lost count now, always a fab show. If you get the chnace to see them on a 'Drunk in Public' tour (they basically play acoustic in pubs and get hammered), do go they are fab nights.
    I saw them do a pre-Beautiful Days gig in a little venue in my town this year they did the Weapon Called the Word set they then did at the festival, and brought 3 Daft Monkeys on stage for the encore, so I was lucky enought to see PJ and the Levellers in the same week.

    Thats exacty how I remembered Glasto, just how you described it....In fact it couldnt be more accurate, just seemed the last few times we went, i think it was 2004 and 2007 the magic had totally gone for me, the festival had gone full circle and had become V.

    I just wasnt feeling the free spirit that had always been fundamental to its success, and the loose vibe to it, it had become a money cow, and attracted the wrong crowd. But when you put it like you do, I totally see where you are coming from.

    Although Im struggling top understand the hours on the phone, in 2008 it barely sold out from what i remember. In 1997 it was a stampede, and a total nightmare getting a ticket, but once you got it it was like willy wonkas golden ticket ;)

    Could you just imagine the ticket fiasco...Even if 10c did get some tickets for us, which tour WOULDN'T pay 25 bucks to try and get at least 2 or maybe even 1...

    And lets not mention all the other crap things about seeing bands at festivals.. Sure its a great time to piss about with your mates but to see one of the finest bands on the planet do their thing? well no thanks :)
