seems to be a lot of stuff hinting at it this time round, from all the info Neil was receiving this year (very similar to what happened with Coldplay in 2015), to him then getting info that they're headlining next year, to him then hearing from somebody about Michael blurting out that they were headlining at the festival (along with Stone Roses), plus Eavis mentioning them in that Q&A which seems like a classic Michael slip up (also mentioned that they're great and need to return). all could be wrong of course but together with Coldplay, Adele and Muse all undoubtedly being finished with touring by next year and Radiohead having only just started, it makes sense that they could be held back a year to accommodate those other three headliners

Its one thing for Eavis to say he wants them, its anothet for Thom to want to. I'm fairly sure Eavis has wanted them since in the last 13 years as well but even R&L got them.

I don't think Foo's will be back by then. I think if you go by the two acts to have never done it then its Ed and The Roses for me and gor the fest they are easy bookings. While seeing Roses do Glasto would be epic, the crowd would be a bit shit like some of it was for Kasabian....that was still a belter mind.

I now concede that FM isn't going to happen.

Radiohead, Biffy, Ed Sheeran

Legend - Rod Stewart (Maybe with The Faces)

think those odds were off, or have expired - the odds on all Radiohead, Roses and Sheeran are 2/1 here, unless i've missed odds on another site

Currently Radiohead 2/1, Ed Sheeran 5/1 and Roses 6/1. Think it's worth sticking a tenner on each of them, all you would need is Radiohead to be one of the three to break even.

I'm in the hopeful camp for Daft Punk. Their first tour 1997, second 2007 third 2017...

I'd love a Rihanna, Daft Punk, Radio Head.

Read somewhere that Aretha doesn't fly.

An article posted here around Feb said she was getting over it with some help and looking forward to coming to the UK.

would be huge if they managed to get her, but i don't see it. not just yet, anyway. can't see past Phil Collins at the moment, for no reason other than the brief rumour that Glastonbury had bagged him for next year posted on here some time ago

[brettredmayne]

New customers get 2 free bets of £10 each of they put a one £10 bet on. 

Have Belgium to win then used my free bets on stone roses and Ed 

[Gucci Piggy]

With Barry Gibb coming on with Coldplay on Sunday I'll go with him in the legend slot for now.

I would, and I have no shame in this, go nuts for a Phil Collins set.

[brettredmayne]

I normally wait for Neil to be more confident then this before putting on bets but I just can't see past radiohead, stone roses and Ed Sheeran.

GnR according to William Hill:

aye likewise. unless some other band comes out of the blue and reforms, they (along with Foos, i guess) seem like the most likely options by a long stretch imo

not a chance it's gonna be GnR - they're just looking for some easy money with that one. Download, R/L and IOW will be throwing money their way i bet

Only just clocked we have rumours on the 2017 page. 

As said above though, I can't see past the ones rumoured currently. Only thing that throws me off Foo Fighters is this 'indefinite hiatus', which is a shame because Russy would really like to see them.

yeah i thought Foos were nailed on for 2017 but them coming back with a new album/tour seems far too premature after making such a hubub about their hiatus

Genuine question as I don't follow him at all, is Ed Sheeran really big enough to headline?

He headlined three nights at Wembley so yeah, he's more than big enough.

sold out Wembley three times over, which for a guy and a guitar, is pretty damn impressive. i'm not a fan but, imo, after Adele he's the next biggest solo artist and UK export that we have, and with a new album he'll be cemented as a festival headliner. Glastonbury getting him first would be a huge deal, and judging by interviews, it's something he's very much interested in

Thanks, I had no idea. That is pretty impressive!
