Posted May 27, 200619 yr Virgin.net Music news Kylie to headline Glastonbury 2007 Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis has confirmed that Kylie Minogue is to close next year's event. Kylie was due to appear at Glastonbury 2005, but was forced to pull out to focus on her battle with breast cancer. However, she is making a good recovery and has told Eavis she will be fit enough to headline next year. He told the Daily Mirror: "Kylie is definitely going to be the Sunday night headliner. "We want her to do all the stuff she did on her Showgirl tour with the fairies and the trapeze. She's so Glastonbury. "I'm worried it's too early for her but she's really keen. Her people said they don't even need a contract - a handshake is enough." Speaking at the Ivor Novello Awards, Eavis claims he has booked all three headliners for next year's festival, but refused to disclose any more names. Acts rumoured to be joining Kylie on the Pyramid Stage include Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Kaiser Chiefs and Arctic Monkeys. Is this brilliant news or what?
May 27, 200619 yr Rock fans will not be happy :lol: That's my only misgiving about it, I'm not sure she's the Glastonbury audience's cup of tea, and I'm worried she'll get a negative reaction. By then I'm confident she'll be well enough to be up to it, and I hope everything will go okay when she goes through with it. Edited May 27, 200619 yr by Aly
May 28, 200619 yr Author I disagree - I think Kylie has earnt her stripes in the business by now. Remember, the Flaming Lips, Basement Jaxx & Coldplay have performed CGYOOMH live (& not in an ironic sense). The only way she will get some stick is if the Friday & Saturday headliners are not up to the Rock/Indie/Dance festival standard.
May 28, 200619 yr I disagree - I think Kylie has earnt her stripes in the business by now. One would think so, and to a degree she has, to many she's recognised for what she's achieved and the talent she has. I still get the feeling that to many others she's seen as a joke though, especially to the typical Glastonbury audience... :( Edited May 28, 200619 yr by Aly
