Libertines i reckon. would fit in to the 'they're probably British' (sic) comment that Michael made. don't think he could mistake Swift for being British

I think you need to let this quote from ME go. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then...

It's come from someone who has a 100% success rate with me - tho not for a huge number of items. So he either makes very good guesses, or he has a real source of info.

I believe he's right, but I only get to find out for sure when things get announced.

Bugger !

has there? as far as i can tell he was directly talking about The Who with this comment, and possibly the sub act as well. it's the most recent quote we have from him regarding the current headliner and sub, who he was definitely talking about at the time (not any previously 'booked' headliners etc)

Yeah, you could be right. It's just that the "British but..." quote seems to have been retrofitted to so many bands recently. At the time he said it I wonder if they had any certainty about the Sunday.

was only a couple of weeks ago - they must've had SOMEBODY in mind for that Sunday slot by then. i can't see them still phoning up acts asking 'd'you wanna sub Glastonbury!?'. it may not be The Libertines, but with Noel now seemingly ruled out, i can't think of many other British acts (or acts all together) who are touring around the time but not busy that night / have full touring schedules

well, this is what we're all assuming - it seems to add up considering they can only do the Sunday and the Sunday's Other headliner is seemingly Chemical Brothers (subbed by Jamie T). they may fit in elsewhere, but third on Pyramid seems the best bet

Jamie T is free everyday of the festival, why as everyone presumed he'll be Sunday, is there any solid info on that?

Personally really hoping there is no overlap between his set and the Who as I want to see both of them.

His booking agency have Sunday listed on their website.

Kraftwerk is an interesting one. Maybe not under The Who. But I'm surprised they have not been involved at all over the last few years.

The only UK appearance that comes to mind is the Latitude headline slot. They have been in and around Europe non stop for the last few years. But nothing in the UK.

They headlined Bestival about five years ago. It was feckin brilliant!

    • They will have strictly 14 days to comply, at the end of which they will strictly have another 14 days to comply.
    • Bonobo has a new album out in September.  Touring the US the end of this year, so hopefully UK dates and festivals in 2027.  Would make a superb Park headliner. 
    • I was following up to pink_triangle's post about what Reform are saying they will do to find money for defence spending.   But with Labour, they may well water down or delay some of the net zero commitments, they may find ways to cut welfare spending with Pat McFadden's welfare review thing, but I don't think it's going to be near enough. They really tied themselves down with the tax commitments in their manifesto, just reversing Hunt's NI cuts would have gone a long way. Under Burnham I think they may try and reform some of the tax system, land taxes and levies etc. Certainly needs reforming. But that might all be after a general election if Labour were to win.  I reckon they will try and do something with fiscal rules to borrow more, and try and persuade markets to go along with them.  (and he's already rowed back on that waspi thing...I think his team and others in Labour had a word).
    • Feels like Leeds getting axed is just a matter of time now, and to be honest, it might be the only way to save Reading. The whole twin-site format just feels proper dated and way too expensive to run nowadays. If they scrapped Leeds and focused entirely on Reading, turning it into a proper London-adjacent day-trip fest for the younger crowd like All Points East or Wireless, it would actually make sense financially. But yeah, for the old-school rock crowd, the R&L era is completely dead and buried.
