Michael Eavis, landowner and the guy who gets bands booked 4 Glastonbury says:

"There's an American artist that I've been wanting to have for years and yonks and yonks and yonks. So it's confirmed."

Eavis added: "I can't tell you who it is. I really cannot tell you who it is. I can't tell you a thing about it," although he did admit he was "thrilled" about the booking.

Well i thought i would get in first with this as others r gonna cream themselves, getting their underwear all damp assuming Eavis is talking about Prince. Of course it could be any US artist. Maybe Van Halen? Who knows

like I said in the other thread, confirming this early would be very organised for someone like Prince.

unless the price was right....

I don't think Glastonbury pay the big bucks, allot of the prestige is about playing Glastonbury, so I doubt he'd play, I hope he does, but I doubt it, he would go down a storm there and it would really raise his profile with a group of music fans who maybe are not fully aware of his material.

From reading many Micheal Eavis interviews over the years, I can't imagine this could be anybody BUT Prince! And IF he's finally playing Glastonbury, expect him to play similar shows to Stevie Wonder's June 2010 UK shows: London's Hard Rock Calling & Manchester's MEN Arena.....

But they are not American... and Michael Eavis has said he's wanted Prince in the past.... so.... holding breath for now

Prince? Booking a concert a year in advance?

Reminds me of Elbert Hubbard, "That one is born every minute is a conservative estimate."

Even Prince ain't worth wading around in wellies and shit for!

It dosent rain as often as people believe, just that when they do have a bad year it's naturally all over the news. This year it was scorching hot the whole wkend

OH NOOOOOO......NOT THIS OLD CHESTNUT AGAIN.....

I saw and recorded Stevie's set on TV from the comfort of my couch. I'll do the same if Prince shows up next year.

I mentioned the rumour bout the man been touted for Glastonbury to the mrs.Next day she'd arranged with relatives to go to the 2011 festival,none of them are prince fans,the wife has been to see him 2wice with me,and i'm thinking you know,he wont be booked and ill be pissed off and wont enjoy it cos i only booked in the hope the man was on.

BUT JUST THINK IF I BOOK AND HES ON,BLOWING GLASTONBURY TO TO ITS CORE
