    Glastonbury organisers have said talks with potential headliners for next year's festival are still ongoing.

    Organisers refused to be drawn on reports that Blur had been secured as a headliner for the festival next June as part of their 2009 reunion.

    A spokesman told the BBC that music fans should not purchase tickets based on speculation.

    "We are talking to headliners at the moment," he said. "There is lots of speculation about who might or might not be playing next year.

    “We're confident it will be as good as Jay-Z. No headliners have been confirmed."

    As previously reported on Gigwise, all four original members of Blur will reunite for a special concert in London's Hyde Park on July 3rd.

    • neil, one stage, one night, one headliner. plenty of other stages to watch what ya fancy. mozza was decent a few years ago (played just b4 muse) but not sure he's done anything to step up to headliner from then (maybe the new album is amazing...)
