when you've got Radiohead, The Stone Roses and Ed Sheeran, all huge huge acts, as your headliners i really don't think Depeche Mode need to be taken in to consideration  

Yet the ironic thing is that Depeche Mode are bigger than all 3 of them.

in the rest of Europe maybe, but in the UK not even close (and at this point in both of their careers i think you'd struggle to argue that Depeche Mode are bigger than Ed Sheeran)

I don't think they are going to do it. Yet he could hardly give any hints. which suggest they might when tickets are about to go on sale for their biggest ever UK gig, which is a very big risk.

I'd say from reading between the lines that what he said wasn't a cover-up. He went into too much detail.

Glasto must have had their headliners sewn up for a while as I believe they would have made an attempt at DM this year. 

I'm pretty sure Glasto only had 2 acts sown up at the time of this year's fest.
('sown up' might only be a verbal agreement, that might have later changed. It happens).

Which would have left space to get DM if both sides wanted it.

I'd say that DM will have preferred their own big show, and will be self-aware enough to know that sales might be iffy is there was Glasto in the mix too, so while Glasto might have spoken with them it wouldn't have been something which came together this time.

What. Two of them are Wembley Stadium fillers and the other is probably the most favoured act among the Glastonbury faithful that exists in the whole world.

I would love to see DM at Glasto but I wouldn't dream of seeing them at London Stadium (is that what it's called now?) - terrible music venue. I think you're probably right though.

Hence the point I was making. It is kind of ironic that Depeche Mode were probably never considered as Glastonbury already had their eyes set on the 3 huge, huge acts, when you could argue world wide that Depeche Mode are bigger than all 3.

If you are putting in general terms a R&L act as a sub then they are big enough for Pyramid sub.

I think they could be an English Exclusive but they are big enough to sub without being an only fest now so I'd expect them to sub probably T too, under Biffy or Coldplay easy.

Bastille subbed t this year under calvin

Oh so they did, didn't pay attention to that one then. Still the case they could sub Reading without being an exclusive but they may well be just by default.

[Arcticz Liam]

Anyone think Placebo might play somewhere on the Other Stage? About to do a hits tour this winter and just released a hits album.

[thewayiam]

So now we stitch Ed to Friday.

[dentalplan]

Ed Sheeran headlining Friday seems weird as fuck. 

Where did the thing linking him to Saturday come from? It came from somewhere around the time of that article and if it was the Sun then I'm perfectly happy to throw that rumour in the trash and get behind an open Friday night.

If i could take that right now i defos would bite your hand off for it, only one clash, which isnt even that bad as im 100% to see both when they tour anyway 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Not to shabby @FloorFiller

Would go for;

Kills > Iggy > The xx > Radiohead on Friday

Van the Man > Everything Everything > Justice on Saturday

Sunday is tough, that National v Avalanches v Royal Blood clash is an absolute nightmare. Weezer and Bon Iver either side of that though.

[Gucci Piggy]

Where is the national shout coming from? Anything solid? Would watch them regardless of any clashes

Nothing solid - just that they'll have a new album out by next year, haven't played since 2010 and many people on here want them to be there

This like doing an early version of the Clashfinder; I love it.

Especially liking the Friday Pyramid session, too good to be true? A man can dream

Avalanches in to Kraftwerk - amazing way to end the festival too

Ouch. The XX, RTJ and Jungle. Clash City. 

So much on there I love though so would take this in a heart beat. 

Edit. Just seen my Friday night clash also includes Flume. FFS. 4 way clash.

Ed, FF and Weezer would probably stop me putting my ticket back in.

It wouldn't be a Friday night at Glastonbury without a silly amount of painful clashes

[Trout Mask Replica]

Friday - Radiohead 

Saturday - Kraftwerk 

Sunday - Santana

If they give me this they can basically do what the hell they like with the rest of the line-up and I'll deal with it.
