Ok not heard anything to back this up

but my choice would be Peter Gabriel

either as the legend spot or maybe headline on the Other stage 

been a while since he last played Glastonbury?

With the best will in the world, this is an example of a suggestion for the Legend Slot that's way less suitable for it than the probable Bazza Booking

What are Kasabien doing in Somerset? http://www.nme.com/blogs/1976672-1976672?utm_content=manual&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nme

Hopefully they're just passing through on their way to jumping off Land's End

Kasabian surely can't be considered a "big" secret, by any stretch of the imagination.  They're decent and all, I suppose, but hardly world dominating enough to be something to hold back and tease about.

I thought it was common knowledge that Prince Charles has been Kasabian's sound guy for a few years now. Do your research, NME.

Well they'd be a headliner sized act in a none headliner position so definitely reason for them to be held back, although would be odd for it to be them considering they only headlined themselves three years ago.

Maybe it's better for everyone if we just pretend that this never happened.  Maybe a Stalinist doctoring of the record to erase it from the archive.

Kasabian would, by a mile, be the biggest let down if they turn out to be the "big secret". I'd welcome Gorillaz with open arms over them.

Did you mention two Pokemon in this post on purpose or by accident?

I think it would be a bit farfetch'd if he did. An odd(ish) place to do Pokemon puns.

Kasabian were on the One Show the other night (they seem to be everywhere at the moment) and I was happily ignoring this until they showed some live footage - and it was from Glastonbury 2014. Suddenly I was filled with dread - could this be a sign? I just hope, whatever the big secret is, it's not them or the Killers.

Edit: its from 2015 and they've said they'd absolutely never do a reunion  Shame on me for not checking my sources.

Ah Jesus that'd be so good. Can't see it though unfortunately.

[Fork_UK]

Paul Simon had some fairly poor reviews when he played at Glasto a few years ago, so I highly doubt it.

Yeah, just done more research after my jerk response to that link and it's looking very unlikely haha

[H.M.V]

Led Zeppelin just came on BBC 6 music and I'm taking it as a sign.

I just think it's Kasabian opening Other stage on Friday.

Would love a secret all day Thursday or even half day line up though like TitP used to do (on their Fridays).

I still can't bring myself to believe it's just another band.  I'd feel pretty deflated if it is.  

[SwedgeAntilles]

Kasabian opening the Other would fit the criteria, I wouldn't be shocked if that was the case.

Dont really think that fits the definition of the 'massive suprise' being spoke of nor the band or the booking. Itd be just meh.....

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

One hand I can't see it being Kasabian as they are a headliner only band at the moment, but on the other hand they are everywhere at the moment and might see it as a bit of handy publicity for their new album, plus opening other you can sort of say it's a special slot and not they've taken a bump down.

[sadimmock]

Interestingly (or not) apparently Taylor Swift has moved to London. Lots of sightings in Crouch End....

[shuttlep]

I hope they are bringing Dolly Parton back . 

[sisco]

Hang on, people think Kasabian isn't a big surprise?! Whether we like them or not a headlining band appearing on the lineup and not headlining is a big deal. 

[priest17]

A headliner sized band being held back this long not headlining is a big secret. Doesn't matter how good they are.

That said I'm pretty sure it's that they're showing that Saturday's Doctor Who on the Pyramid Stage. With The KLF soundtracking it.

I would like snoop dogg pretty please
