Bands and fans speaking out about a line-up decision is always going to happen, but things […]

Leicester rock favourites Kasabian are reportedly set to be announced as a headliner for this years Glastonbury festival, as bookies William Hill have suspended betting on it.
The rumours about Kasabian headlining go back to a while, but today is the first ‘concrete’ suggestion that they are definitely playing the Worthy Farm festival in June.

I was literally just thinking yesterday that it seems to have gone a bit quiet on the Oasis-reuniting-for-Glastonbury front, and I was wondering whether that meant the rumour was finally dead and buried or if it was the calm before the storm. Then I went online and stumbled across a whole host of new Oasis […]
Both Metallica and Manic Street Preachers have been talking about playing Glastonbury next year. Rumours about who may or may not be playing next years Worthy Farm festival have been swirling since Michael Eavis’ tantalising revelation that he already has the headliners lined up – and all three of them have never played the festival […]
Michael Eavis got the ball rolling early on the annual game of Guess Who’s Headlining Glastonbury, telling NME at last nights AIM Awards: Next year’s headliners are more or less in place. They’re three bands who haven’t played Glastonbury, and that’s important. There aren’t many bands left who haven’t played the festival, and before we […]
Glastonbury is officially here – and now that the gates have opened and revellers have begun to pitch their tents thoughts have inevitably turned to what surprises may be in store this year. Previously the likes of Radiohead, Pulp, Franz Ferdinand and The Last Shadow Puppets have put on surprise performances, so it’s only natural […]
