Peter Gabriel's tour ends on May 25th, so they would still be well enough rehearsed enough to play.

Doing the whole of "So" .

Possibly "Mercy Street" with Elbow perhaps ,plus maybe some stuff from " And i'll scratch yours" ,.

“Games Without Frontiers” with Arcade Fire ?

Exactly. Why should Metallica, a massive band with loads of successful albums be other and Kasabian be headlining? True - I don't like their full of themselves attitude that they will settle for headliner and nothing else. They aren't that amazing to be like that and it's a massive turn off for me. They have some good songs I agree but their attitude stinks if what they said was true about demanding to be top. It shouldn't really matter and shouldn't be a make or break on whether they play Glastonbury or not

Kasabian haven't been contacted about performing at all, according to this. I'd have thought Senior Eavis would have at least contacted the band by this point if they were serious contenders to headline, or even as a fall-back, surely.

I have a funny feeling it's going to be Arcade Fire, Kanye West & Prince. I'd be really happy with that.

I would froth at the mouth, a trinity like that is wasted on the grubby sponges that camp all day at the Pyramid. Secret sets on Williams Green I say!

In all seriousness, what a startlingly great set of headliners that would be, simply too good to be true.

Out of the last 6, I wouldn't have elected to buy a ticket to a solo gig by any single one of them. The Stones are a special case, I wouldn't pay out the nose for a ticket to see them at some bollocks arena or field down in that London just so Mick can buy a new drug yacht, but them at Glastonbury really felt like an event, the very last word in massive shows. The rest of them however, I wouldn't count as anything special, Arctic Monkeys were alright, but I do regret not choosing Portishead, I probably would have got some enjoyment out of Beyonce if I'd gone though *runs for cover*.

    • 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. 🙂
