      Funny that, I heard a very strong rumour about a Glastonbury appearance at the end of June, which takes place very near to the 'Move festival' which takes place between the the 10th and 13th of July....the dates seem right and plausable, but this is Moz and we all know about previous whispers and rumours surrounding him, hence with nothing actually surfacing. Although he'll be quite aware that playing high profile festivals raises interest in any artist, it's good exposure and raises many a profile, just what he needs at the moment considering he's label less....i bet any UK/World festival organisation would love to have him on their bill, he can still pull a bigger crowd than so-called 'new' cutting edge bands, whose names i forget right now, i'm sure they'll come back to me later.

      take care!

          Well, this fest takes place on a Thurs through a Sunday, and R.E.M. and Dave Gahan are already set to headline the Sat and Sun. nights. I also know that the Manic Street Preachers are supposed to headline one of the other nights, so that leaves one nightopen for a headlining spot. Unless of course, Morrissey would not be headlining anyway.......Somehow though, I still really doubt that he will be playing at all.

                  Moz was to play at Glastonbury before (around 1990/91 I think - please don't swear at me if I'm wrong). There were even t-shirts "Morrissey at Glastonbury". He cancelled last minute.

                  I'm never sure he's comming until he's actually on stage. Even then I'm not entirely sure he isn't going to take a dislike to the furniture and leave again.

                  It would be great though.

                    Doh! Morrissey remember Finsbury Park. People who don't like you go to festivals, drink too much cider and boo you. I hope you know what you're doing. Avoid festivals in the UK. Elsewhere audiences have respect.
