This weeks confirmation that Bruce Springsteen will be one of the four headliners at Glastonbury 2009 has surely fuelled more romuers that the festival will play host to 4 headliners this year.
The Iconic American rockers early booking to the pyramid stage and apparent self confirmations from headline material such as Neil Young, Sterophonics and Blur, may lead to a scheduling dilemma for the fetival organiser Emily Eavis.
Springsteens' reunion with the E-Street band in early 2001 after a 6 year 'solo' patch has proved monumentally successful. 3 studio albums since 2002 and another on the way just shows how serious the man from New Jersey is about his already illustrious career.
Glastonbury fans cant doubt Springsteen's sheer pedigree, boasting global hits like "Born to run", "Dancing in the Dark and "Born in the USA". As well as material from the two new albums 'Magic' and 'Working on a dream", its certainly going to be an eclectic set.
As for the other headliners, will they be spread out over 4 days, meaning the festival now starts on the Thursday? Or will two headlining acts be pitted against each other to dispel overcrowding.
If the holy prophecy comes to light and Blur are confirmed as one of those bands it would surely be in the best interest of the organisers to split the potentially overcrowded support for the legendary Britpop 4 piece.
Much more awaits
