I miss last year when the headliners were pretty much known by now, I'm gonna have a heart attack with all the rumours flying around this year :P

Would love a bit of Stevie though, Emily must have been lying when she denied he was playing on Twitter? (Guilty as charged to the post above)

Good to see MGMT are (hopefully) going to play, would love to see them in the Sun with a cider.

But Wonder is obviously the bigger deal here :P That fields gonna go off for Superstition...and the rest of his brilliant back catalogue if he plays. Wanted Zeppelin to headline but I'll 'settle' for big Stevie.

record companies often don't know what their acts are doing next week, let alone 5 months away.

In my experience of those in the music biz, people working in record companies have the least accurate info of who is playing where. That doesn't mean they're always wrong, but their record for info received by efests is probably right less than 30% of the time.

My guess would be that SW probably isnt playing. Would love it if he was though.

But in response to what Neil said, which I 99% agree with, maybe Emily wasnt quite playing ball.

From twitter:

@EmilyEavis Are you getting Stevie Wonder!?!?! oh My GOD!!!!!!!

@eddie_metal god no! we love him though..

Maybe they weren't 'getting him', because they had already 'got him'?

:pot-stir:

:P

Isn't it about time they released another name? *checks calendar* mmmm. Not feeling the "suspense" considering we're all expecting Stevie, Muse/Coldplay to be announced.

Not sure what's happened to this thread... firstly, I hear on VERY good authority the the Wonder Man is nailed on, and then I re-visit only find that it has been misenterprepted to mean that GOD is playing..!!!! Maybe SW is on in the slot before GOD...??? COOOOL... what are GOD's hits by the way, apart from Cum By Ah.. (sounds rude to me!)

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
