Elbow Strong Rumour For Glastonbury Festival 2010

Elbow are strongly rumoured to make an appearance at Glastonbury Festival 2010.

We cannot find a specific source at the moment, but feel its a pretty realistic suggestion even if the rumour isn't true.

The band have had their fair share of ups and downs, and are currently reaping in the rewards of their hard work. Good on em we say!

We hope they will be there to add their delicate,touch to Glastonbury Festival 2010.

Rumours suggest that Led Zeppelin could reform and perform at Glastonbury Festival 2010.

Legendary lead singer Robert Plant admitted that he had been in talks with the festival boss, Michael Eavis.

"There's place for me there, but I have no idea who with," Plant said to BBC news.

Also - Remember Eavis did say that the headliners were going to be traditional bands this year here.

Plant has continually dismissed reports he will be rejoining the band for a full reunion since Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones suggested a reform back in 2007, but we are still optimistic!

Pulp Not Reforming For Glastonbury Festival 2010

There were a few rumours floating around about Pulp reforming for Glastonbury Festival 2010. It was covered on here a few days ago.

Javis has now reveiled that a reform is not on the cards and that the rumours...well they were just rumours!

"I can categorically tell Teletext that Pulp have no plans to get back together," he said.

"someone asked me if I fancied playing at the 40th anniversary of Glastonbury, I said yes, they twisted that into a 'Pulp reform' story. It's not true."

Other Festivals Could Steal Big Acts From Glastonbury

Glastonbury Festival organisers have revealed that other festivals could steal some of the big names away from Glastonbury, because Glastonbury cannot afford them.

Michael Eavis revealed that other festivals "can pay them more and we can't afford it."

He also added that, "We can't afford to spend £2m on a headliner because it wouldn't work. There's no way that we could run this show paying those sorts of fees, Bands have never charged me the full whack - even with Bruce Springsteen, I told him what I can afford so he agreed to it and didn't try to beat me up on the price."

So if you were thinking of an all star 40th anniversiary bash, you may have to start thinking again...
