Muse

Fleetwood Mac

Ed Sheeran

I doubt it'll be Muse dude, they have their album out and Glasto get acts at the start of their touring if they are going to. I should in fact have put them in my reply to floor filler along with Blur and Noel to rule out.

Biffy Clyro

Coldplay

Radiohead/Fleetwood Mac/Rihanna

Won't be Muse on their second Summer touring Drones. Was gonna say AC/DC as well but it'd be the second Summer for them touring Rock or Bust, although as a heritage act maybe this is less likely to rule them out.

Coldplay are probably the one I can be most confident about, they've got a new album coming out eventually and supposedly it'll be their last so they'll want to be back. It's just whether the timeline of it makes it better for them to do it in 2016 or 2017

I don't think the thing about it being their last album is true but I still reckon they'll play. I'd be surprised if it's not out by next summer so they seem a good fit.

wish people would stop saying Ed Sheeran. i don't reckon he'll have a new album out in time - 3 year gap between his last two albums, and considering he's still touring x it looks promising to be a similar gap between these albums, so won't be ready until 2017, the fallow year. then he'll tour that for three years so can possibly headline in 2020, but hopefully not (all assuming Glastonbury stick with booking acts in the first summer they tour)

Just to add in, if FM don't tour at all next year and therefore aren't there, Coldplay would be my next choice I reckon.

Fri - Biffy

Sat - Oasis (Can't believe it's not TBC yet!)

Sun - Coldplay

These headliner threads have got me right back into Glasto. I might try for my first one since 2010 even though I'm far too old and fat for it.

Atfer bands being exclusives and booked in France, the next rules of logic to be broken will be that of Glasto not getting bands on their second summers and Glasto not repeating headliners within five years..

Mumford and Sons.

On a serious note.. Biffy on Friday, FM on Saturday; and whichever of Paolo Nutini/Ellie Goulding/Ed Sheeran has the most ridiculously big album out by then on Sunday.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
