PRINCE LOSES GLAST CHANCE


This year's GLASTONBURY festival won't feature PRINCE - but looks likely to feature a speech from anti-war Oscar winner MICHAEL MOORE as well as a "fantastic" headliner on the Sunday night.

Moore recently received a Best Documentary Oscar for 'Bowling for Columbine', and also directed the controversial music video for System Of A Down's 'Boom!'.

Glastonbury organiser, Emily Eavis told Q4music that Moore is scheduled to appear at some time over the festival weekend of June 27 - 29.

Eavis said she has now found a headliner for Sunday night, after rumours persisted that elfin funkster Prince was set to perform.

She said: "Prince isn't playing on Sunday, we were in talks with him and it nearly happened but in the end it didn't. We have got a fantastic headliner on Sunday night but we can't announce who it is yet. But they're great. "

Tickets for the Glastonbury festival go on sale on Monday (31 March).

yes i read this email today would have been a good gig for him to play

ok...where does it say major campaingn for new CD in summer?

What a shitty title for a thread.

Is playing at Glastonbury indicative of a major campaign???

besides the teensy prince mention, the thread title and the contents of the article don't not compute.

No, but NOT playing there and releasing a new album at around the same time sounds pretty Prince-like to me.
