It's fucking Kanye, everyone knows.

And Fran Healey will perform on stage with him, they'll do a duet on "The Girl Is Mine"

the press think this means it will be jay-z or kanye. cant really see thousands of indie kids screaming along to 'izzo' though.

i think it will be prince.

SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THE GAPING HOLE IN THIS REASONING

he's a Sunday afternooner not a headliner xp

I've had 20 quid on Schoolly D tho, just in case.

mark g with breaking new that neil diamond is black

Neil Diamond in blackface: what's on your iPod?

It won't be Jay-Z because the only Jay-Z song anyone in Britain knows is "Hard Knock Life".

I got 99 neil diamonds...

nooooooo

Of course its Kanye, it's Eavis's brazen attempt to appeal more to the youth market. Prince is hardly going to to that.

pharrell williams.

you heard it here first.

cody chestnutt.

Never knew he was Hope Powell's brother.

Okay I am stoked for some top-notch gothtard moaning about Jay-Z for the next 6 months.

Meh, it's not like he'll attract any gays to Glastonbury, so at least The Zutons will be OK with it.

does he really think that many 'kids' (who usually goes to glasto anyway? 40 yr olds?) are gonna come just for jay-z?? cos unless theres some other 'youth' names there too, i cant see it happening.

it's not like he'll attract any gays to Glastonbury

OMG he skies it over the bar from a yard out

It won't be Jay-Z because the only Jay-Z song anyone in Britain knows is "Hard Knock Life".

kids sound more like britishes

Wait, wait. Jay-Z's playing the Sunday night, right? So is this just Eavis' subtle way of making sure all the Fratellis-loving fuckwits clear off in good time?

i hope he ends with 'is that yo bitch'.

Encore duet of "Crazy Right Now" with Beth Ditto.

chris martin will be there.

I might try and go this year. That's not actually connected to this announcement, although if it is Jay-Z I might watch him (I'm not really into Kanye). I'm the wrong side of 30 now so I'm in the target demographic.

She could black up and everyone would think they were watching a "Brooklyn's Finest" reunion.

"Wesley Willis's Joyrides" RIP

The Verve and Kings of Leon will join Jay-Z as headliners of Glastonbury festival this summer.

excellent news

Michael Eavis is broke, right?

Soon

Glasto have lost it big time they just pick xfm / virgin radio music - the Norwegian music festivals are far superior

Øyafestivalen: News

chris martin's mate to play chris martin's other mate's festival. yaaaawn.

‘meg.rah15’ described the news as “tragic”, while ‘beefster’ wrote, “What a load of shite”. ‘d73375’ added: "Michael Eavis has just ruined the image of Glastonbury in one swoop."

There was some support for the announcements, however, with ‘gingerdave2008’ writing that "Jay-Z is excellent."

Kings of Leon headlining is the new Skunk Anansie headlining - ie the real 'wtf how is this happening oh shit they're actually really big aren't they?' feeling.

jay-z and the verve -- 90s revival is on and i am loving it.

well, Jay-Z never really went away. he's just become the new establishment.

Skunk Anansie were good.

That's three pretty ordinary headliners right there.

Registration closes tomorrow (Friday). Still yet to decide whether I'm gonna go but I've registered anyway, just my options open for the time being.

Registrations down. Jay-Z 'no Muse', says Eavis

Portishead to headline one of the other stages, I wonder?

"There's not as many as last year because we haven't got the super, big, big, big sort of headlining act anymore. We've gone for something middle range although Jay-Z is huge in America."

I think Massive Attack are meant to be playing too. Trip-hop = this year's fraggle revival?

Jay-Z isn't really that big over here though.

Amongst the sort of people who go to Glastonbury, maybe.

I mean yeah, on paper you're right but I just feel like this merits some kind of giant FFS.

i don't know if The Verve are really pulling people in either i mean who gives a fuck about them now except people the same age as them?

Do you remember that NME issue where they got an indie kid, a raver and a ... something else to all go to each others' nights out and report back? The raver had to go to a (pre-The) Verve gig and was unimpressed.

Or buy CDs, or listen to the radio, or...

(Face it, dude's only known over here because he's fucking Beyonce. May as well have Adnan Ghalib headline a festival)

i think all of this is good. less demand = more chance of tickets for ppl who want to go for the festival itself (rather than just for the headliners), which makes for a much better atmosphere than a bunch of coldplay/radiohead/muse fans who only came to see their favourite band...

I am expecting Jay-Z to get St Winfred's School Choir on stage for a novelty Glastonbury Hard Knock Life/There's No One Quite Like Grandma medley.

People who probably will come onstage with Jay-Z: Joss Stone, Pete Doherty, Frank Lampard

word around teh campfire is that if you register you'll get tixx easy this year.

I've got 99 problems but tix ain't one.

A must

almost wanna go just so i can rock one of those

Like this?

Hmmm.

1) Is it easily washable?
2) Is it waterproof?
3) Those look like the most ungrippable soles none to man. You're not going to be able walk without falling arse over tit into Glastmud (tm)

I don't think you're actually supposed to wear it outdoors.

yet, you will. especially if you go to the cinema field to watch juno at 2am.

surely the point is to walk around outside your tent in it, occasionally falling over or being pushed over and people laughing at you. but is there no zip at the front for when you get up at 6am for a wee?

try throwing THAT at meatloaf!

That thing reminds me, very slightly, of K-9.

Kylie's parents must pay for Glastonbury tickets after EMI cutbacks

Does the Mirror know something no one else does? Perhaps she has joined The Verve.

jay-z was anti climatic. doing wonderwall in FULL just made it look like a (shit) cover, not a pisstake. very disappointing.

weird thing about the performance was that hov didnt seem to really win the crowd over. and it didnt seem like he was even TRYING to really win them over. but then thats just how he is on stage. hes not really much of a performer. the oasis cover went wrong cos instead of takin the piss out of noel/indie he ended up payin tribute to it. *L* and was it me or did he not really do the best songs that he could have done? he should have done more harder stuff like ride with me, streets are watching or some other stuff like that, not excuse me miss! since when do indie crowds like r&b mush? and i still fucking hate that linkin park 'duet'. lol@that (and the sunday bloody sunday mashup) being the last song. how desperate.

sunday bloody sunday stepped slightly wrong, but otherwise insane - that set was hot, i guess maybe too hot for the 'climate'. if the crowd wasn't won over - and people seem pretty enthusiastic on the video - maybe they should go listen to Shakin Stevens.

Yeah, take that fans of 1980s pop

i liked his scarf to endear himself to the passantinos

John Shuttleworth. Doing his hardcore set. Legendary.

^^ i did this joke alreads

according to HM:

Blur
Kaiser Chiefs
Neil Young
Bruce Springsteen

Eavis has clearly learned his lesson from last year and any non-whites will be confined strictly to the Jazz World where they belong.

Oh good we get to do the race thing here as well now...

Hey, Damon has at least TWO black friends.
