The only person I can think of that fits the bill is Noel

he doesn't actually have dates on the sunday night does he?

Saw Noel and the birds a few weeks back and they have most definitely got what it takes to be Pyramid headliners, but I can't see it being this year. Even without the Oasis tunes his set is incredible.

Tony Visconti said that Bowie had put his health problems behind him and that he is 'fighting fit'. If he managed to keep recording an album secret is it beyond the realms of possibility that he would be able to keep rehearsals for performing live secret? With David Bowie Is... packing them in around the world and a huge 3CD career retrospective in the shops now would be perfect. I know it's clutching at straws but I would die happy

Alt-J are seemingly being held back because of lattitude for R&L... so it's not unheard of.

But.. I highly doubt it but at this stage you can't rule out the possibility with emily saying they wait for shows to sell out before announcing headliners.

Oh yeah, I completely agree there's a huge difference, but my point was that if it is genuinely a huge act then there could well have been leaks by associated people by now. The fact we know his team are so good at keeping secrets just gives me that little bit of hope.

Personally I'd love Prince or Bowie, or just about anyone else as well. However now I have two offers of cake, I'm well and truly rooting for the Thin White Duke.

We'd only ever know if it was Bowie until the lineup was out but Neil's saying that he fits the criteria and it's definitely possible for him to do it and people are promising cake, there is some pretty solid evidence for this.

If he knows him really well then Tony Visconti must know he's not playing if he's playing his songs in Colchester on the Sunday night. :P

I can assure you that everyone with an R&L ticket knows it's Alt-J and is happy for it to remain as special guest than have it billed as Alt-J

Waters bringing a mini wall to block up the Pyramid?

I would love to see that show again, Glastonbury would be an amazing place to do it and they could get Gilmour and Mason to come and do a bit, we could technically have a reunion?

it doesnt fit the bill of a solo act but it would be a massive surprise hence the secrecy.......reunion of the classic lineup of guns n roses? theres been talk over the last year the members are on better terms and speak of a reunion one day has picked up pace a little........would that be headline worthy? http://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n-roses-reunion-prediction/

Guns N Roses would be more problematical than Prince

    • 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…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
