Surely you're excited by the prospect of SZA? Have you not been banging on about how they should make fresh bookings?

think a lot are on the rumours page here. LCD sound system pyramid sub on the friday - there might be others too dunno

Dua and Coldplay are locks. Seems they tried for Madonna then Stevie wonder for the third but both are now a no so the third is still unknown. Could be SZA could be someone else

Yeah exactly, I like them but other headliner is literally the perfect slot for them. They're not particularly mainstream

The National can't sell out arenas mate. If The National did BST they'd be giving away tickets

No one has ever claimed SZA is a lock. The other 2 are though.

Not the SZA part. Brave Sir Robin used to post on here and always get BST right. He said the BST dates but it also has Stevie W in it. SZA isn't a definite and doesn't come from him. Coldplay and Dua are locks. Comes from multiple people including Roughbloke who also used to post here and got it spot on last year despite a former disgruntled site owner making up some lies about them.

I'm shocked she wasn't considered big enough to headline by 2011. Mad looking ack she subbed T and headlined glasto same year. That was a golden year for T tho tbf

Nope, it's the same people that used to post here it is just elsewhere now for obvious reasons. I'd be saying the exact same if they were still posting here. People have proven track records, it is irrelevant if they are posting here or there.

First two yes, SZA who knows. As alluded to the third one has changed and its not clear yet

Kasabian were defo big enough Mumford too tbh, they were huge then and still pretty big now

You're missing the bit where someone gave info on every single BST headliner including dates, the only one missing was Stevie W. So either they guessed them all with unbelievable accuracy or they are in the know and something changed with Stevie. I downvoted cause suggesting these things were guesses is just plain daft. It was this year lol and people have said this several times now

I think so, I was just wondering how they got from that to The Who when they were already booked elsewhere. There must have been a few tries in between there surely. Looking back, 2015 was pretty shite lineup

Yeah if like Kasabian you can headline every other UK fest then you can do glasto too. I still remember people on here saying they weren't big enough tho

I remember The Who had to rearrange a gig in Paris or something to make that. They must have been very, very desperate. What other names were thrown about in 2015 before The Who were announced does anyone know?

Thought the Verve were meant to be good. Yeah hindsight for Kanye but one of the biggest names on the planet. AF a bit on the small side I agree.

What would you say these are?

Please don't spend anything close to that. She's playing enough dates that tickets will come available. In the days leading up people will get ill or plans will change and tickets will crop up. If you're not fussy about where you sit or stand then you'll get 2

I do agree re Glasto due to the license end time but Euro festivals always have acts on post headliner. It's still clear who the headliner is. Agree it wouldn't work at glasto tho

Why are you so adamant that no one could possibly have insider information?

If you only want info that comes when the contracts are signed you might as well just wait for the poster and not come into a thread which is build on speculation and rumours lol

Or... Coldplay Dua is good info and they've been locked for ages and they wanted Madonna which fell through, tried for Stevie and didn't work out and now they are somewhat scrambling for a 3rd. Wouldn't be the first time.. see last year for further reference

Emily did say she wanted to drop the poster early in the year before any other announcement though. So although it may be early compared to other years it is also late to have no names and late-ish according to the rough timeline she set out

Coldplay and Dua have been locks for months. The main reason people use sites like this is to try find out who is playing early

There's a few different people in the know in the discord. How hard is it to comprehend that info can change as the picture changes. Dua and coldplay have been locks for ages. There's also dozens of the undercard as good as confirmed too
