You know what (and I think many will be in the same boat here) im not actually that bothered about the 3rd headliner I just want the rest of the lineup so I can start getting really in the mood checking out different artists, doing the spotify glasto playlist thing decided who I want to check out etc etc, you know what, fuck the 3rd headliner, make it a tba if you have to eavis just give us something to get excited about ffs!

This is a true story, I just need more info, I like to focus my listening on the run up. Did it for Skrillex's new album last year and it made the while set just that bit better.

hmmm .... someone has just said something to me which suggests its not Prince, tho that could really be the result of keeping up deceptions.

But anyway, who else could it be that's be that's a massive act, a solo(ish) star, and an act they've been after for years? Give me names, people!

Ed Byrne.

Don McLean? ... Just watched an article on the meaning of American Pie lyrics and got me thinking.

I know he isn't really big enough to headline, but him and Madge could do an extended 2 hour version of American Pie and give Glastonbury the biggest singalong of all time!!

He was very enjoyable on Sunday lunchtime a few years back, although American Pie did feel like it went on forever.

Maybe Liam Gallagher is going to launch his solo career on the Pyramid Sunday night, playing all the songs he wrote for Oasis, including Little James. Twice.

If we're opening it up to the fairer gender, Madge, Kate Bush, Rihanna, Kylie (!!) all fit in... they've booked Kylie yonks ago aye?

Pretty sure Neil did imply it was a male artist earlier. Unless I was actually being sexist and that's what I got from the post. :P

Unless it's a massive solo star who has already played, I can't think of anybody other than P*****. Anybody realistic anyway, don't think Kate Bush/Adele fall into that category for example.

EDIT: Florence certainly doesn't fall into 'massive', 'have been waiting ages to get her' category.

It'd take a lot to beat Dolly with Jolene last year!

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      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…
