A recent contributor to 'eFestivals'...
'So got talking to Michael Eavis himself and he answered a few questions at the talk.
As far as acts, he kept tight lipped but when asked about a few he was quiet open to the idea of ELO and said he always wanted The Stone Roses to play since he seen them in Manchester last time they played.
Also when asked about Fleetwood Mac he said they're too expensive costing nearly £4m but said we might see them in 2017. When asked about the headliners for next year he said he got his first choices and was happy to have them secure unlike last year with the whole mess with the Foos and The Who. He also mentioned the the 'Legend' on the Sunday is in his opinion the best he has got.
He was also asked about the possibility of the festival site being moved and he said that there is a possibility but hopes it doesn't happen and it is down to the gas pipes under the festival, same as the craic with T in The Park. He then went on to say many times that he has an excellent site ready if it happens writhing 20 miles of Glastonbury.
He was also asked about his favourite act but he insisted he couldn't say but he really really liked Radiohead in '97.
He also spoke briefly about JayZ Kanye and Noel Gallagher
It was recorded and will be put on YouTube. I'll link it as soon as its up.
£32m it costs to run the festival and he has a cap of £500,000 for headliners just incase anyone is interested'
