...for people millions of years from now to discover as the peak of music from this era?

There’s still a whole lot that can go wrong at the top of the lineup, but at least we know they’re not just calling in the house band for an easy and crowd pleasing booking, and fingers crossed the ‘in negotiations’ act turns out to be somebody they’re really pushing for rather than any kind of back up.

Must be pretty high. Park headliner perhaps, or would she be too big for that now?

Somebody over on the Download thread claimed Priest are 'headlining or nothing' on this tour (not sure where they got that info or if they're just assuming). I'm sure they'd change their minds for a shot at Glastonbury, but might be something worth considering if all they're doing is headline slots on this tour.

Wasn’t that essentially so they wouldn’t lose any of their crowd to Adele/people waiting for Adele? Or at least that was the general thought on here.

I refuse to believe that Foals, with two new albums under their belts and in the middle of touring those albums, weren’t approached by Glastonbury in some capacity to play, especially after having played a secret set the previous year, and then as has been said, that Yannis would have this knowledge and also be going around telling anybody who’ll listen.

Nobody wants to see just Bradley though - it’s with Gaga or nothing, and she’s firmly in the ‘pop’ bracket. Not gonna be this. It was always gonna be this year or never if this happened imo.

Just completely irrelevant these days. Went from being one of the biggest bands in the world for a long time through the 90’s to mid 00’s to a bit of a joke. I was a big fan back in the day but after them being terrible the two times I saw them live and a few fairly crap albums in I have no interest in them anymore, and I feel like many have gone the same way.

Far too big for the Park I’d have thought, but a pretty hard one to place at Glastonbury. JP headliner perhaps, or possibly high on Other.

MCR already announced for Download Australia so gotta be a decent bet that they’ll be at the UK one too? They’d be a big pull for Download these days, even if a lot of the old crusty regulars would moan about it.

Pearl Jam for the Friday rock slot.

Both Sign of the Times and his new song are pretty great. Somewhere mid to high on the Pyramid seems right for him.

Not really familiar with Grasspop but looking at their 2018 lineup they had Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden and Ozzy headlining. Not exactly a smalltime festival, is it? But if AC/DC are on the festival scene, then sure, why not? In terms of dinosaur acts that Glastonbury has never had they're certainly up there, and imo a far more exciting booking than Fleetwood Mac would've been. Guess we'll see if there'a anything to this rumour, although surely there would've been more rumblings concerning AC/DC by now (unless there have been and I've missed it).

I think Emily saying the third headliner was still in negotiations is more likely to mean 'our first/second/whatever choice fell through and so we're still trying to talk somebody in to it' rather than 'we're trying our hardest in a long winded negotiation to secure this one single act'. Obviously once the headliners are announced we'll see our two never played before headliners and know who the third was, but I'm guessing it'll be pretty clear due to them being the odd one out in the wow factor department.

We sure that’s a permanent thing and not just a one off for a year that a lot of festivals seemed to struggle to secure big headliner bookings?
