The original five piece have only been back for good five minutes and talk has already turned to a headline slot at next years Glastonbury. A pop act has never headlined the legendary festival , with Kylie having to pull out in 2005 after her breast cancer diagnosis. Usual suspects u2 and Radiohead are touted as for the Friday and Sunday night.
How the ultimate boyband would go down with Glasto purist remains to be seen. Sure theres always somewhat of a novelty factor when pop acts appear at festivals. And its become more common in recent years with the likes of Girls Aloud , Sugababes and The Saturdays appearing at the likes of V Fest. Lady Gaga went down a storm at Glasto in 2009.
But Glastonbury is a whole different kettle of fish and although its become a more commercial event than it makes out , a 90's boyband as headliners may be a novelty too far for some. Stranger things have happened and it would'nt be too far fetched to envision a field of muddy hippies singing along to " Never Forget ". If the rumour turns out to be true , it would cap off one of the greatest comebacks in pop history. Its shaping up to be a huge few months for the reformed manband. Rest assured a much anticipated X Factor appearance will culminate in a 12th UK Number 1 and mammoth sales of the forthcoming album leading up to Christmas. I'm already sick of them. Its the Robbie factor.
