Looks plausible. Might be booking myself a trip home in the hope of more summer gigs.

Absolutely plausible! Somebody in the biz told me that prince had lunch with Michael eavis & his daughter since he's been in the UK. Prince is keen to do this wink

If Prince somehow managed to embargo the BBC TV coverage that would be a first. I don't think he would (manage to negotiate that) personally.

If this happens I think most if us would see it on TV just like previous years headliners. That would be awesome enough for me. I'm not really the festival going type...

I am sure the Rolling Stones last year told the BBC they were only allowed to show part of their 2 hour set? In fact I am not sure if they showed any of it

They did. Most of it.

I definitely watched the Stones. You're right I couldn't say it was the full two hours but that would be a shame if Prince does the whole Montreux thing. Well never get to see it! sad

the BBC usually gets the rights to what they broadcast - that's how they show those clip shows of live performances on BBC Four ad finitum. Not sure if Prince could allow broadcast but then get the mrights to the footage?

I know it goes without saying that we are discussing this as a rumour, but Kiran Sharma has just tweeted that it is indeed not true ...again, just like every year.

She's already denyed it earlier on in the month too, must be tiresome to be constantly linked

They probably denied Prince was playing because it's 3rdeyegirl or some technicality like that. He'll be negotiating for his own stage there where plays when he pleases lol

It also made the Dutch news. Looked pretty convincing. Just wait and see. Might happen after all...

I always make a weekend of Glasto and stay in to watch as many of the performances as possible. Thje BBC coverage these days is superb!

Yup, only showed couple of slow songs from the middle of the Stones set (the bit where everyone goes off for a beer!)....really didn't do them any favours as they sounded awful. I'm fairly certain Prince will do something similar. Showing his full show live would be a bootleggers dream! biggrin
