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

    • Agree. Also there was a lot more crossing over between stages. I know they need to put the cure, the xx and Gorillaz on the main stages but if they could have put your Blood Orange, Big Thief, Baxter Dury on Cupra and Occident with Jade and Pinkpantheress on the main stages, it would have been a massive improvement. 
    • 100% THIS! I haven't quite been able to put my finger on it, but I think you've just nailed why I didn't enjoy this year as much as usual. In last years edition, the likes of Slowdive or Big Thief would have had evening slots at Cupra or Occident, instead of being shoved on to the main stages during the day. Apart from the very biggest acts (ie The Cure, the pop headliners), most performances at Mordor just lack that special "wow, I'm so lucky to be here" feeling that I remember from the Jesus Lizard and Anhoni sets that you've mentioned.  Sidenote: I wonder if there's a decent chunk of ticket holders that gravitate towards Mordor simply because it's the biggest stage, without really caring who's playing at that time, thus the increased (and incredibly noticeable) yapping. 
    • Some horrible talkers around me as well for that one. Plus the mobile beer taps pressing through almost all the way to the front, which really should be illegal. 
    • 1. Kevin Morby - Little Wide Open  2. feeble little horse - bitknot 3. Genesis Owusu - Redstar Wu and the Worldwide Scourge    Decent month though - Kurt Vile and Ed O'Brien would have been top 3 most months
