I don't know why i fret over this :lol: I've seen 3 headliners on the Pyramid in 3 years of going....

Who cares! We're going to Glastonbury, i think the idea of not knowing anything so far is very exciting.

I don't think we had a clue at all last year either did we? I know we were guessing right up to the announcement on the final headliner, and we got Arctics in like Feb, it's exciting!

I think we all know FM are a dead cert. I can see Kasabian being there too... I've seen them headline at V and Reading and both times they were really good, and they have made it clear they want to do it.

As for the third headliner... I don't mind. I kinda hope it's someone I don't know much of, as it gives me a reason to try out some new music!

I just really hope that they put the "big" headliner on the Sunday this year. Having the Stones on the Saturday last year almost felt like the festival reached its peak too early, and Mumford and Sons (as good as they were) were a bit disappointing as a closer. I prefer a big "finale" like we had in 2010 with Stevie Wonder.

Arcade fire would be amazing, love stone roses but think it has the potential to be a car crash - he can't sing. Requires a certain type of crowd to bring it atmosphere that simply do not attend glastonbury in large enough numbers. They have to know it'll destroy them being shown on TV without their usual atmosphere.

I saw Kasabian at leeds fest and v headlining in previous years, each time due to lack of alternatives. I do like them and am by no means a music snob at all, but have absolutely no idea how they've conned their way to headline status. Frontman who is genuinely annoying (i rarely say that), a fair few boring songs and Fire is to me ridiculously overrated rubbish. At festivals, so many don't know LSF anymore which is such a shame so the atmosphere is only really there for one or two songs nowadays

They are a cracking sub band, like snow patrol or elbow, but i just don't see them as a headliner and no headline sets I've seen show me otherwise.

I like Kasabian, but they are such an easy and lazy booking regardless of never headlining before. They're literally laying on a bed with their legs spread waiting for Michael Eavis to come in. Maybe in 2015/2016 with a new album they'd be a good headliner, but not next year.

Really want to know the substance behind this now!

edit: As well as Prince and Oasis?! Maybe these rumors are down to general chat and the bookies rather than information. Or are the music gods trying to give me a breakdown.

there's rumours going round. Haven't you stumbled across them? If not, try googling.

Stuff that gets put in as just 'rumour' is stuff that's out there that we can't discount.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
