According to a posting on an unofficial Prince site, Prince is not playing Glastonbury.

Although an unofficial website, the posting came from NPGMusicClub, based at Prince's Paisley Park, so the information is pretty certain - it says simply "Prince will not be playing Glastonbury."

Who knows if this is accurate or what "unofficial website" this was on [probably they mean the org? -Ben] or how accurate it may be, but it's an update.

They are referring to the org!

I know Neil at Efestivals and supplied him with this information, following the email received by one of our friends here from NPGMC.

I'd been away for a few days and hadn't seen that posting from NPGMC...

ahhh well, it would've been kewl, but the festival will go on!

Thats a real shame, it would have made my year to see him play there. Ah well

I was listening to xfm in the car (london), and they were giving away tickets to Glastonbury, and Christian O'Connell (the presenter, for those who a) don't know xfm or b) don't live in London), say that Prince was headlining, and it was "a very rare appearance for him".

Still can't find any word of him playing elsewhere tho!

I followed a stupid kid home once, and found his parents to be quite knowledgeable.

Hi,

I just got the following email from Q magazine regarding prince and glastonbury

With tickets going on sale on Monday 31 March, things hotting up for Glastonbury 2003 and Emily Eavis is already suitably excited, despite rumours about the Sunday night headliner being nothing more than hot air. "No, Prince isn't playing on Sunday," says Emily. "We were in talks with him and it nearly happened but in the end it didn't. It was all down to logistics." Nevertheless, even though the Purple One will not be gracing Piltdown, there's an even better treat in store, says Emily. "We have got a fantastic headliner on Sunday night but we can't announce who it is yet. But they're great."

oh well, maybe next year !!!
