Today in the UK "The Star" newspaper it said that Queen+ AL were to headline Glastonbury. Is this official or just Tabloid speculation?
Joyful the sound

I have heard Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath and Paul McCartney are currently in the frame. Sure Queen+ would win that one... lol.

The Star are well known for having the inside track on Glastonbury - this is the ninth year in a row that they've pre-announced the headliners.

Politics, Sport, Weather - they're an over-imaginative set of fantasists on LSD. Entertainment - utter precision.

It wouldn't surprise me if they headlined one night, but not the final night.

Interesting - have they ever done a big festival like this before? They meaning Queen in any iteration.

I think you'd be great for Glastonbury. It's not exactly my favourite thing, but they'd really go down a storm.

Rock in Rio would certainly qualify, if we're talking Queen in any form.

Rio, and also Saarbrucken 79.

Mannheim '86 was part of a festival too I believe.

Sonisphere nearly happened back in 2012, if it was not for the organisers pulling the plug!!!

"Sonisphere" nearly happened back in 2012 at Knebworth, if it was not for the organisers pulling the plug!!!

And Then this year there were the "Summersonic" & "Supersonic" festivals in Korea & Japan. [/QUOTE]

They pulled the plug because metal fans, unsurprisingly, didn't want to see Queen + Adam Lambert, so none of them bought tickets. I went to Sonisphere this year, and it was absolutely amazing, but Queen & Adam Lambert would have gone down like a lead balloon with that crowd.

I'm not sure that they'll get a much better reaction from Glastonbury attendees. But since they could put a bucket of cow pats on the stage as the headlining act, and Glastonbury would still sell out, they probably don't need to worry too much on that score.
