I hope no one shouts at me, and believe me I hate myself for saying this, but what about Sam Smith.... Just won a shedload of awards and for some reason seems to be huge.

DON'T HATE ME I ALREADY PUNCHED MYSELF FOR SAYING THAT

Nah. Only subbing V and T, and last year the acts who did that played third on the Pyramid, headlined the Other Stage and subbed the Other Stage.

He also wouldn't have enough songs to fill a headline slot if he played his entire album twice.

William Hill have opened betting again for the Sunday headliner, shame there's no solid rumors at the moment

Lol at Take That being longer odds than Kate Bush.

She's done 3 nights many times. Didn't realise it would be 4 tho. Did another date get added? Even more reason for her not be there. I think ones expecting her will be very disappointed

no, it's been 4 nights in a row since the start, Hyde Park on Saturday, Dublin on Monday and Tuesday.

subbing on Friday would make far more sense all round, assuming you don't subscribe to the theory that FF would have to be preceded by a guitar band...

They would be a massive flop and surely HIGHLY unlikely and not the Glasto audiences cup of tea.

But erm, would they even consider having a punt at Paramore?

Hayley Williams is also a woman.

definitely not. pop/punk is one genre that is almost never represented at Glastonbury - plus, they co-headlined Reading so would be a very weak booking, plus they're on the arse end of their tour which Glastonbury rarely ever does with headliners

her tour starts in August - very unlikely that she'd debut it at Glastonbury two months earlier

a greatest hits set at Glastonbury to sell the last remaining tickets for a tour full of new stuff would work though, although i've no idea if her tours are usually near-instant sell-outs or what...

Is that actually a possibility?

No chance - people go and see Pyramid headliners just because they're Pyramid headliners. You're mistaking the Pyramid crowd for the eFests contingent.

Plus Swift has a few well-known tunes and is a bit of a celebrity, as it were. So if she headlined, sub-headlined, whatever, it'd be popular.

Christ, if we we going by that criteria the Eavi may as well invite Katie Price to duet with Peter Andre. Wouldn't that be fantastic?

No, no...Carlton - the little charmer - has been in the news again today:

Carlton will explain on here soon i am sure, but he was factually correct with that with that one :P

because as a 25 year old guy i'd feel like a bit of a dickhead stood in the middle of a Taylor Swift gig belting out her tunes (probably alone, because i doubt i could convince a friend to fork up the money for it). i went to see Pink a few years ago (mate had free ticket, i thought 'why not?') and i just felt odd. wouldn't be so at a festival. i'm sure many people have acts who they'd never pay to see at their own gigs for whatever reason but jump at the chance to see them at a festival

Yeah, I really liked Lily Allen's first album, as did my mates girlfriend, so the three of us went to see her at the Apollo. We were in our twenties at the time and seemed to be the oldest people there by far without children. Really, really jarring.

Saw her at Glasto, was totally fine.

    • People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.
    • To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘
    • I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either   
    • Selfish, but I've done the 2 days I'm there.. i'll try to do the rest through the day but might get beaten to it as it's editable....    https://clashfinder.com/s/ape2026/
    • I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
