Yes jess was always going to be a shoe in for it. But having listen to radio 1 for the last few weeks here are my predictions of who will be playing.

Muse will headline as well, Adele a special guest appearance playing a handful of songs for a Glastonbury warm up plus kings of Leon, alt J, Megan tranior, slaves, catfish, little mix, last shadow puppets and of course Annie Mac with Pete tong. 

Doubt Muse will do two years in a row.

Adele's completely ruled out as she's in Italy that weekend

Alt-J aren't touring so very doubtful

Slaves is a possibility, they're not doing festivals then but not out of the equation

Little Mix I think are likely for one of the days.

Catfish could do Sunday but not Saturday

Kings of Leon aren't touring and would unlikely come over for a one off gig so ruled out

Meghan Trainor's touring in the US then so it's doubtful she'll come over for a one off gig

I reckon Last Shadow Puppets are likely to be there also touring around that time so fits into their schedule well.

In terms of headliners my money's on Rihanna with Mumford and Sons and Biffy elsewhere on the bill.

Lukas Graham are in Manchester on the Friday and then they are free on the weekend so wouldn't be surprised if they are there

Hypest hype

Really hoping for some decent names, accepting it will generally be MOR stuff but in recent years they've had huuge acts like Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, Kings of Leon so more like that pls.

Does anybody know the middle 3 songs in this montage? Im thinking the 3rd is paramore but I might be mistaken

Fairly sure the last one is "Love You So" Plan B. Plan B would be sick.

Yes it is! Where is he though?

[supreme]

Yeah I have the first and the last, first is mumfords. But no idea about the 3rd. Regarding Plan B I believe he is taking a break from music and focussing on directing film.

Mint. I can now twerk aggressively to her song 'Work' aswell as Rihanna's 'work'.. If she's there.

[deadpheasant]

Interesting thing is, she's coming over from USA for this one off date. Means Beiber may be more likely than I thought.

[mcbain55]

Brilliant addition....love that new Iggy track 

[NickisGinger]

I wonder if Calvin Harris is going to be there?

Am I the only one a bit underwhelmed so far?

[deadpheasant]

Really really poor imo. Not a single act that excites me. Can only hope there's decent 2nd stage acts later today or else I'll have nothing to do on the Saturday.

 

[deadpheasant]

This is what we're talking about! The Weeknd is a fantastic booking.

[harryomatic]

Hate how R1 always puts the lineup out in alphabetical order as opposed to the order the acts are performing. 

[deadpheasant]

Tame Impala and Chvrches on the Saturday are fantastic additions. Twenty one pilots and fetty wap are good additions too.

 

I can see the clashes being killer, still don't know whether I want to see Coldplay or Biffy on the Sunday.
