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!

    • I too am always a bit blurred on what/who constitutes a legend slot but would Sting fit that bill?  Those there said his IoW slot was v good and he has enough of a songbook imo for a Sun afternoon if he uses the Police's 1st 2 albums for a fair chunk of it      
    • Thing is, I'd have said that as well.   But then she inexplicably ended up on the Wilderness lineup and that changes everything. I reckon if that goes well, which it will, then she's very much in the picture.
    • This has probably been discussed a hundred times already on efests but what constitutes a legend? I know some of it is my age but I don't see eurithmics or Duran Duran as legend status. Neil young or nils lofgren then yes and neither of them have overly troubled the charts. Duran Duran and indeed the eurithmics I would put in the 80s category and whilst it would be ok (human league at isle of wight we're fabulous) they just arent in my mind legend status.  Zombies played same festival- i would take that. 
    • friendly tonight delayed , pitch draining pretty quick to be fair .... not sure it bodes well for other games with potential fixture backlog
