Bear with me but that is just my opinion, I feel like the status of glasto has on the most part drawn a level of headliners above other festivals (not just quality) but take 2011 for example, U2 barely tour and almost never play fests, and Coldplay and 'Yonce just rarely perform in large arena tours. Biffy clyro for exaple haven't stopped touring and playing festivals.

I just feel like most of the rumours so far fit this but a few stick out as not quite 'special' enough for glasto, Dizzee Rascal, Mumfords Etc.

I agree with that enough to make this my first ever post. They made very sure to say that ONLY Biffy and FOB were UK fest exclusives, The only other festival they could play is download and they were there 2 years ago and all the top slots are filled.

At my reckoning that gives glasto a possibility. Other stage on sunday. Yes Yes Yes.

i would bet good money that System Of A Down won't ever play Glastonbury. QOTSA is one thing, and Smashing Pumpkins is one thing, but System Of A Down are just too much in that 'yeahhhhh i'm 16 years old and love my metullzzzzzz' category for Glastonbury (and that's not me insulting the band. i love System and am considering going to Leeds to see them. they just won't be at Glastonbury, nor will they have ever been considered for Glastonbury)

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
