of course this is pure speculation, but I'm thinking something like

Pyr: U2 // Paolo Nutini

Oth: Vampire Weekend

 

Pyr: Arctic Monkeys // Stormzy

Oth: The Chemical Brothers

 

Pyr: Madonna // Queens of the Stone Age

Oth: Disclosure

Don't much fancy the idea of a Homme masterclass being wasted on a pre-Madge crowd.

U2 are surely a band for 2020

U2, Arctic Monkeys, Sam Smith would be an interesting trio though

It’s about time Arctic Monkeys played nothing pre-2008. 

Nah, soz, there's literally nothing you can say about the Arctic Monkeys that will score you any indie points.

I prefer their early demos personally

Sam Smith crysinging for an hour and a half. It's what 50th anniversaries are meant for.

I might as well throw my hat into the ring as well then.

I see Ozzy is saying his tour is going to last until 2020. I wonder if he could do the legends slot or 70's rock/Royal Blood slot either year?

Can't be much worse than Wales' answer to Catfish and the Bottlemen.

I don't see him playing non-headline slots or accepting non-headline fees.

Aren't Catfish and the Bottlemen Wales' answer to Catfish and the Bottlemen?

Huh, thought they were north Welsh, I'll take your word for it.

That 192 route is producing some lame bands, someone needs to go and collect all the guitars from Hazel Grove ASAP.

Give it time, someone will.

Bets on Kelela taking a big slot at WH

This album is cracking

Stereophonics would maybe be a better other headliner than Pyramid? I don't think U2 would have any interest in doing it again, I get the feeling that like Metallica they did it once so they could cross it off their bucketlist and that's it. It's all about the money for those boys. 

Arctic Monkeys and Kendrick seem like safe bets to me. Sam Smith would be an utterly dissapointing choice for headliner, I struggle to think of a more boring "musician".

The only slot Stereophonics could hope for is something like third down the Pyramid, but even that seems a reach after years of not being booked. Maybe they could also be the secret Other opener as to not take up a proper slot. They'd be ideal for that.

I'm not too convinced on U2 returning, although their last headline slot was far from a triumph so they may want to amend that.

Don't think Kendrick will be at Glastonbury for a long while. Reading/Leeds next year - possibly Glastonbury come the next album, although more likely further down the road.

Sam Smith seems like the obvious choice following on from Adele and Ed Sheeran, although he'd be a pretty shit choice aye.
