Here are some are the strong rumours:
Rage Against the Machine - Headlining Oxegen and T in the Park, they are expected to make a return to the Reading and Leeds Festivals after an 8 year absence.
The Killers - New dance inspired album is due late 2008, every rumour mill says they will be there... so does this one!

Kasabian are also expected, however they have been confirmed as Creamfields headliner and it has not been confirmed if this is an exclusive contract.
AND FINALLY...
Now if I were a betting man - and I am - I think I'd put my mortgage - if I had one - on the appearance of Mr Hugh Lennon (Hypnotist) in the tent. Highly recommended, especially if you've not seen him or a hypnotist before.
