Radiohead and Led Zeppelin to headline Glastonbury 2009?

Glastonbury 2009 may still be around nine months away, but organiser Emily Eavis has indicated that the headliners might have been booked already.

Speaking to the BBC, Eavis said: “Because our tickets go on sale on 5 Oct, we’ve brought [the announcement of headliners] forward. So we’re ensconced in chat about next year and there’s a lot of good feeling after such an amazing festival. We’re talking to a few people at the moment and I think pretty soon we’ll have some stuff sorted”.

Not a lot given away there, then, but she also said that: “It’s not Coldplay, it’s not U2 and it’s not the Rolling Stones”. Given that Radiohead weren’t included in this list, many people have deduced (rightly or wrongly) that they’re shoe-ins to top the Worthy Farm bill next year.

The headliners for next year’s Glastonbury festival are set to be finalised “pretty soon”, according to organiser Emily Eavis.

However, Eavis has now ruled out a number of big names who were rumoured to be performing.

Talking to BBC News, she said: “It’s not Coldplay, it’s not U2 and it’s not The Rolling Stones.”

The arrangements are being made relatively early this year, mainly beause the tickets are now available to buy earlier than before.

Eavis said: “Because our tickets go on sale on October 5 we’ve brought it forward. So we’re ensconced in chat about next year and there’s a lot of good feeling after such an amazing festival. We’re talking to a few people at the moment and I think pretty soon we’ll have some stuff sorted.”

Radiohead are currently the bookies’ favourites to headline the event, held in Pilton in Somerset.
