Thank you all for pointing out the obvious!

Any guesses as to whether the 121 means anything?

I believe it was recorded before and then performed on a global satelite link on 25 June - possibly even more appropriate!

Agreed. I couldn't see anyone who has headlined since 2007 coming back lower down the bill - aside from @kingbadger's suggestion of Gorillaz. Even post 2000 there aren't many I could see coming bacl. Green Day potentially as an Other Stage Headliner? Rod Stewart might be convinced to do the Legends slot (although would we want that).

Good point - I guess the Killers secret set counts too.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realise the rumour was a direct replacement for Macca and was going off the talk about Emily's reaction to Billie the other night.

Is there a slim possibility that Billie is waivering on her UK/EU tour dates and Harry is being lined up as a potential replacement?

Seeing Skunk Anansie on the 2020 poster (all those months ago) and the debate about whether Florence and the Machine would be worthy (pun intended) of the headline slot this year has got me thinking about returning headliners who don't headline. I don't think there are any other former headliners, from the last 15-20 years at least, that would return in a lower slot - either they are still headliner level in their own right or they are unlikely to accept a lower slot. What do people think? Are there any that you think might pop up lower down the line up in years to come?

I would be very happy with this.

A fourth vote to Banquet Records - generally reasonably priced & cheap delivery. I also use Relevant Record Cafe. Sometimes they have hard to find vinyl & the occasional bargain. Not to turn this into a consumer advice forum, but important to know that Section 75 only applies if you spend over £100 on a 'single item', so PayPal is better for smaller purchases.

Thanks @eFestivals

I know I am a few pages behind, but Ticketmaster now have a "fan guarantee" which allows you to cancel within 24 hours, although you do lose the booking fees.

They played Wembley in mid-June 2016 before they headlined.

Ready for the influx of comments saying this both rules him out of headlining and guarentees that he is headlining.

Would love to see Placebo crop up somewhere!

I believe I am the other "not that bothered but don't want to see him exit early" voter.
