Also says Coldplay have been asked!

Think Glastonbury just made my decision for me then... Flaming Lips it is!

[Sawdusty surfer]

Well, if the Sun said it it MUST be true!

[ampersand]

seriously? awful headiner if that's the next resort. get well soon bono!

going to watch the live show on sky one when it's on and will decide if i want to see them then.

tbh I looked at the line up for The Pyramid on friday and thought that it makes as much sense as anything to just move everybody up one, unless they find a completely new headliner sized act at a month's notice.

Dizzy may not be everyone's cup of tea but he did a storming set last year to a pretty full and rocking pyramid crowd mid afternoon, he's paid his festival dues over the years, and is pretty much on top of his game right now.

My other thought was to move Snoop to the top and leave Dizzy warming up for him - for rap lovers that would be quite a night.

Moving anyone from anywhere else involves more re-arranging, and whilst there may be options more to individual tastes, I don't think theres actually a better one than just tweeking the existing pyramid line up for the day.

Hope not, not that I have a major problem with Dizzee Rascal headlining, just that it'll put Vampire Weekend on a direct clash with Mumford and Sons!

Not that this is even news considering where its come from, but i couldnt see anything other than this happening.

Its highly unlikely they could find a replacement in a few weeks, unless coldplay are still sitting on the other end of the phone waiting for a call, just incase

I would not be in the least bit suprised if it turns out to be the case, to be honest, it makes sense since dizzee gives a great show, always gets good results from the crowd and is on fire at the moment. Would be a real change from headliners whose best work is a long time past to have someone current and relevant at the top of the bill.

[HarrisonJ]

I like dizzee, but i dont like his whole attitude towards glasto.

The fact that when JayZ put on a cracking headline set, dizzee combated it by saying "I was the first hiphop headliner at glastonbury", purely because he came on stage during an arctic monkeys set back in 04/05.

Hense fourth i feel he has not earned him right as a headliner as glastonbury.

[tonibw]

Not really inclined to believe this considering it's from The Sun, but if it is true I guess I'll be watching the Bootleg Beatles instead.

[markmccue]

I fully expect U2 to play. We would have heard something by now if they werent.

[russycarps]

has to be flaming lips surely? A band with 25 years worth of fantastic albums and an utterly wondrous live show.

Then again, I suppose the british public are utter morons so would probably prefer dizzee. How embarrassing

Hmmm, I really need to start listening to The Flamming Lips I think. Not quite sure how they've passed me by but seem to be much liked on here. Any recommendations as I'm guessing there's probably quite a few albums?

[sonny]

Bowie or Moby for me

Preferably both

God nooooooooooooooo
