i get the feeling you could be right but by Unexpected I dont think it will be anyone special, it will be someone that everyone will go "err,ok..why them"

Theres an interesting point that if we really are down to bare bones then they could be throwing money at anyone that inst doing anything this summer but could come out and play 1 show.

  • Muse (I know they played so soon but new album and could easily fit the bill and go down well)
  • Florence
  • Adell
  • Dre and Snoop (went down a storm at coachella and snoop is playing dates around glastonbury)
  • Kayne (got to be considered now but I still dont see it, could be some many more acts they could ask before that cock)
  • Arcade fire (Emily said they wasnt playing but we know that was before they had a 3rd headliner sorted. As long as the pregnant one has had her child im sure they could play one gig)
  • Lady Gaga (could have given assurances that she will be ok to play, would be huge as it would end up being one of her only shows this summer)

So Neil you personally believe somebody other than Mumfords is headlining?

I know a lot of people on here are against them. But I think they would actually be a half decent booking.

stuff that I've got to hear strongly suggests to me that Mumfords aren't headlining the Sunday, but it's always possible that i've added up 2+2 to equal five.

Me thinking they're not headlining is nothing to do with me thinking they're not a suitable headline act - they clearly are (but not my tastes).

Neil wrote in another thread that legal action had been threatened against someone who revealed were they were playing. And that was only a very low down spot IIRC.

Not quite.

I said members of a band genuinely think they've been threatened with legal action - but I also realise that might just be how their manager put it to them to get them to keep their gobs shut.

However, there is very definitely a new way of doing things. Secrecy is being impressed onto people in a way that it hasn't been in the past.

Somebody on the Reggae stage I think Neil said it was

no I didn't. I didn't name the band, or give any clues which might help identify them.

do you think you know who the sunday headliner is...

How many bleeding times?

No I don't.

The best fit rumour from many angles if Mumfords, but there's other stuff which makes me think it's not them. If it is them then other acts - which many people would consider lesser acts (if they put their Mumfords hatred to the side) - were offered the slot before them.

I dunno. personally, yeah, I'd like it to remain secret until we arrive, but realistically that's not going to happen, and for the majority of people, they want the lineup in advance. So, that's cool. But I'm hopeful we get a massive release of pretty much the whole lineup at once in say, late April. Much rather have some blast of excitement rather than names dribbling out slowly.

Knowing in advance gives you the option of trying before you buy with regards to acts you've never heard of before. It helps gives you a steer regards what stages to be at and when and helps you avoid timewasting standing waiting for something that won't be to your palate. People are maybe more inclined to try out some of the smaller stages if they've heard some of the acts in advance.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
