I'd love to see Rolf Harris but having just googled him it seems hes pretty unlikely. 

Currently headlining at Southwark Crown Court. The standard setlist;

I don't remember, She's lying, I'm not a well man, I've never seen her before etc

[CaledonianGonzo]

Reminder that Rolf brought a 'leggy lovely' with him to Glastonbury solely so he could to a gag about "Miss Given" in Stairway to Heaven.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Avoiding the obvious dead acts, I'll go for Depeche Mode, Pearl Jam, The Kinks (well Dave and Ray at least), Rage Against The Machine and I think I'm going to have to say Stone Roses. I just don't see them playing the festival for some reason.

Is there a reason why they're unlikely? They seem perfect for the Other Stage whilst basking in the Sun.

For me:

Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes (many other heavier bands who's genre is the most overlooked in my opinion)

Will Smith

Dirtyphonics

 

Looks like Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff were pretty close to playing last year. Would have been perfect for an afternoon on the pyramid stage. Scheduling must be a nightmare for him!

Neutral Milk Hotel would be perfect for me, alas, it won't happen

[MrZigster]

Rush.

OK they've retired. But hopefully only from touring. If The Stones were worth £2m I'm sure Rush could be made an offer that they can't refuse. (They're third after The Beatles and The Stones (in the US) in terms of rock band gold and platinum album sales). I'd hope they'd consider doing a one off show, if not for the payday then for the exposure. A real pity they'd probably be considered not mainstream enough over here.

Also still waiting for Jeff Beck.

David Gilmour would have been immense but he retired last year (and probably still holds a grudge).

The Kinks could still happen I hope (more likely than The Jam reuniting), but would they really be any better than Ray Davies was with that choir?

Guns 'n' Roses.

Dire Straits (or just Mark Knopfler).

Kate Bush.

Roger Waters (before he dies from touring).

Tim Minchin for a Cabaret slot.

Tim Minchin has played leeds festival before so fingers crossed he will do glastonbury

God, just loads...

But as a scattershot response of a few:

Nils Frahm (headlining the Park, clearly)
Loney Dear
Conor Oberst
Aiden Knight (played to 12 people in WG last year - bloody criminal as he is SOOO good)
Panda Bear
Rival Consoles live set in Genosys/Temple/Arcadia - ugh!
A Winged Victory for the Sullen
Sons of Noel and Adrian

That's amongst the more possible ones on this thread.  It would be lovely, preferably on the Sunday.

Sorry - pressed the wrong button, S2H. Just editing the first post! (as one is clearly not 'a few'...)

If we are including bands no longer together (R.E.M.) then Hope of the States.

Lordy, I tried to fall in love with them when I knew they were headlining Green Man a few years ago. But, try as I did, they always felt a bit light and insipid to me.

In the end, we sacked them off and ended up seeing all three third stage headliners that year:

Teleman - East India Youth - Lanterns on the Lake

Possibly my favourite ever triumvirate of headliners at a single festival.

[Gnomicide]

Been listening to Wilco - Live at The Riviera this morning, would love them to headline The Park up against Ed. I think last year was our best chance for ages but it passed on by...

Sure @tevaburger will confirm either way but I'm pretty sure he's said their own festival in America clashes once again with Glastonbury. Seems to happen most years (IIRC, 2019 it doesn't). 

Bastards. Organising their own festival and entertaining their own fans. No need.
