As potential new headliners get thinner on the ground, is there good reason why no-one seems to be considering the re-appearance of a massive name from recent years? No-one seems to be discussing the possibility of a repeat appearance for someone like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young or Paul McCartney, even though many more modern bands have re-headlined at more frequent intervals.

Springsteen didn't go down well and IIRC ME has come out and said they're "pleased they got Macca just in time before his voice finally went once and for all". So either Neil Young or Stevie Wonder again. Would take that.

Paul McCartney might have some water to it...

I think we should just start a thread definitively announcing three Pyramid Headline acts as confirmed, everyone else go with it as true and post accordingly, shove it all over our Twitter accounts, etc, and see how long it takes NME and then the Bizarre column in the Sun to report it.

To the extent that the Eavii have to confirm or deny.

Did that on my teams football messageboard. Our local rag always trawl through it.

A few of us said we were after a striker and seen Emile Heskey at the ground. The paper ran with it and the manager had to deny it.

To preserve Neal's integrity, I propose either Dentalplan or Brave Sir Robin to break the massive 'news'.

Both are very adept fact-finders.

They arrested the guy that hacked in and leaked it.

Oh shit really? Maybe not then

arrested or... "Cheers for helping with our stunt, we're gonna tell the world you're arrested but in reality we're giving you $200,000 and a mansion in the middle of nowhere that you can now elope to".

Can't beat the "Carlos Tevez to Doncaster" rumours that were in the papers a few years back :D

I think this is fake. They announced a band called Eliphant or something last night, who aren't on this.

Unsure, on the reddit they don't really know what to think

6/7 of the bands last night were on the poster so it's really up in the air. Plus the 7 bands they confirmed were all very niche acts, so it's a bit odd that someone predicted that 6 of them would be there.

I don't think it's fake imo

I was just following Matt's joke, which I assume was a continuation of the Other Stage thread, where someone is suggesting them as Other headliners.

Phew!

I think we need to get serious about this fake headliner thing.

Just wondering who has the nuts to start a Headliners Confirmed thread... :)

I know it is a very long short but as the Eavii look at this site they may have read the thread run last year to find out the most popular headliner from the past and booked one of the top few?

How about Stevie Wonder?

only headlined in 2010 and Glastonbury doesn't seem to re-book the huge, legend-esque headliners. i doubt he'll play the festival again

    • Have you tried Anna von Hausswolff yet? Great singer, and she's from Gothenburg so guess she'll be extra excited to show her skills, especially after she unfortunately had to cancel her early summer dates.    Different style, but Oklou for me was the highlight of Primavera (apart from Geese), really enjoyable relaxed music.
    • A few bigger acts that did other similar festivals this year but not Truck, wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of these (if they're touring):   Reytons The Streets Blossoms Sophie-Ellis Bextor Rick Astley Scissor Sisters Dizzee Rascal   Truck on the undercard seems to rotate a lot of it every 2/3 years, expect to see some of these (if they're touring): Yard Act Sports Team Sea Girls Pale Waves Fat Dog Peace Swim Deep Courting   Hope Westside Cowboy and Radio Free Alice are booked again and get some bigger slots next year        
    • I read a reliable source saying there's not enough time to stress test and have worked through any major financial decisions between now and then.   So guarantees this budget will just be tinkering at the edges only.
    • Thanks @sisco. Looking forward to it!
    • Looking like will be bringing a 2-3 month old to Glastonbury next year
