Has the BBC ever mentioned an act as a potential headliner that hasn't then gone on to headline unless they had to pull out?

"It is difficult with female artists because there aren't enough headliners, but we're also creating them by putting bands [and] female artists on smaller stages and bringing them through all the time. "So I feel like the pool is going to be bigger soon. And who knows? Next year, we might get two [female headliners], and certainly I can say that the legend is female." Does "Next year, we might get two [female headliners]", suggest that maybe we have it wrong and theres only 1 female headliner this year? Edit: Realising we are currently in 2023 and not 2024 yet....

Maybe rumours is strong, they've certainly been talked about as potential headliners for well over a decade. On borrowed time due to health, it could be 24/25 or never

Some outsider options: Pulp: WHY did pulp not play this year!? It makes no sense... they were about, they were reformed, they were on tour, they have massive Glasto ties.... Pulp not even doing a surprise set on the farm somewhere over the weekend makes zero sense (outside of just not wanting too).... UNLESS they are down for something bigger..... 2024 headline? I don't think they will, but there must be a reason they didn't play this year Eminem: Rumoured to be in talks for last year in some of the press.... maybe he was actually in talks for 2024... Eminem Dre and Snoop headlining Glasto?! Take my money! Blur: Coming back too historic rumours that said Wembley 2023 and Glasto 2024. LONG standing rumour to be back on the farm in 23/24, didnt happen in 23... 2024? One of, if not the, greatest ever gigs on the farm (if you were there you know)... they will be back someday, 2024 fits. AC/DC: Again long standing rumours backed with comments about the festival being open to booking them and the band being up for playing. Support from Aerosmith doing the "surprise" set they never did. Would go nicely opposite 2 of Dave/Dua/ O Rod Rage Against the Machine: A boy can dream

Opposite Elton makes sense. Big clash to take some people away from the pyramid and what could be one of the biggest crowds they’ve ever had. Plus then josh homme can hop over for goodbye yellow brick road, which you would think would be Elton’s last song

Elton GnR Sparks Cat Stevens Royal Blood

Taylor Swift / Madonna / Beyonce 2 of those 3, if not all 3. Blur for the 3rd if not.

Active, doing something the weekend after, and '09 was a loooong time ago

Tom Jones?

Lots of people saying Chrome was rubbish and got through on Edge! I had Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Edge running.... Chrome was hands down the worst, got through on Edge (and then had payment rejected 6 times from different cards and timed out! the pain!). Wonder if its worth a poll on which browser people had success with. Also seemed to be a much higher success rate with Mobiles/ Tablets vs Desktops, different servers maybe?

Aerosmith?

BLUR!?!?! THE all time classic! If you were there, you know...

Aerosmith, Spice Girls or Cher for next year i think. Could very much see Cher or Spice girls in the Legends, with Taylor headlining the same day. Would LOVE Billy Joel What about someone like Andrea Bocelli? Never see him as a name mentioned! Imagine "Time to say Goodbye" being belted out Others: Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks (not sure on this one, as i think they will always hold out hope for full FM), Celine Dion, Roger Waters, Madonna (more likely full headline), Eagles (again headline more likely), Sting/ The Police, Ozzy, Bon Jovi, Phil Collins/ Genesis, ABBA Got LOADS to keep them stocked for the next few years. Or it will be Coldplay.... 😬
