"Michael Eavis confirms Queen won't headline Glastonbury Festival" 

"Michael Eavis has denied rumours that Queen will perform at next year's Glastonbury Festival." 

"The iconic band have been touring with US star Adam Lambert and it had been speculated that they might headline a night at Glastonbury in 2015." 

"However, organiser Michael Eavis told Music Week that this isn't the case - and rumours of Fleetwood Mac playing are wide of the mark too."

I didn't think they would go, after the tour Adam is going to be busy with his album. He has got to give it priority now.

Another way to think of it, if they HAD been invited and had indeed chosen to go:

Glastonbury Festival is broadcast live on BBC. It is also filmed professionally and is often shown on cable music channels, such as Palladia here in the US.. and no doubt in other countries in some form.. Another feather in Adam's cap...

It's a few days out of the summer.. The festival runs from June 24th to June 28th in 2015, perhaps a week or a little more for Adam to be in the UK, wouldn't take a big percentage of time away from Adam's promo schedule for his new album, which should be out before then...

I would think that playing this HUGE, and world famous Music Festival with the iconic and legendary band Queen would be another boost to Adam's career and some excellent and very welcome promo for his own music.. "Who is this guy?? and where can we find his music??"..

What an EPIC moment for Adam, to be fronting for Queen, in Queen's own country. Again!!!

To be fair, was only speculation to begin with, a rumor at best as far as we know, but what a great thing that their names were out there as a possible headlining band.. Pretty awesome!

Who knows, maybe 2016 could be the year..

There was plenty of excitement about them possibly performing there, even if it was a rumor. Nice to know they raised a lot of interest. And yes, maybe next year. Sounds like an incredible event.
