Rhianna free for the Sat/Sun night.

She can come with me if she wants

Even as a Rihanna neophyte, it's a more interesting prospect than most of the other names being bandied about.

Muse, Rihanna and Coldplay would still be shite though. the sooner that Muse rumour is either put to bed for some reason so that we can celebrate or confirmed so that we can have some time to mourn the better

Taylor Swift is being discussed and nobody sounded the Gjallerhorn!? I'm disappointed, you can't have these discussions without me.

Taylor Swift to headline the West Holts 2016!

Muse, Coldplay and anyone else at all on the planet is still a minimum 66.66% bummer.

I agree with this. Well, it's about on a par with Adele whereby they're huge modern pop acts that haven't headlined yet but there's more chance of the unexpected with RiRi. Of course Rihanna ain't as big but she's a whole lot more likely to play any year because she is actually announcing big gigs unlike Ms. Adkins.

Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, should appease the rock fans ...

[Blank Expression]

Rhianna surely has to be in contention now, free on Saturday and Sunday after playing Wembley 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If she does a cover if Get The Funk Out, then I'm also out.

I saw Rihanna once and she was p fun but bun seeing her again

From that tweet, maybe Swift is in the Sunday afternoon slot - biggest yet, not rumoured, a real coup etc etc

I would not be surprised at all tbh. See my rather long post in the Rumours thread

One headliner playing Wembley the weekend before Glasters, one headliner playing Wembley the Friday of Glasters. I don't see it.

edit: I was right the first time.

Me neither, as said all acts doing stadium dates are going to be around that time, if she had her last one before the weekend on the Thursday instead I'd slightly question is but I think it rules her out more than anything.

Does it put the Weeknd in contention for the Other Headliner slot?

Nah he's subbing Reading.

[stocky3000]

I am hoping the only time we see her if at all will be guesting with coldplay on the princess of china

Coldplay headlining with Beyonce, RiRi and Noely G as special guests. What a time to be alive.

Royal Blood supposedly supporting Coldplay on their tour so do you think they would sub them on pyramid on Sunday?

Where's this from? Would be hella surprised if that were true.

It probably won't be her, she'll be adding more Wembley dates due to demand no doubt.

[ghostdancer1]

Rihanna isn't doing any back-to-back dates on her European leg, presumably for stage transport reasons, maybe she has 2 stages on the US leg, where she's doing a few B2B stints. I suppose if she cut down the stage show/props for Glastonbury, she could do it.

Think it's from the coldplay forum. Likewise I think it would be a strange move for Royal Blood.

I personally believe it's more Adele having been to the festival and having sussed this out for herself...and thus excluding herself. Unless a more suitable slot is found for her*

And less to do with that stuff (she never explicity said) about not playing to huge crowds.

 

*Leonard Cohen played 'slowies' for 90 minutes from The Pyramid earlier in the day. (And was fucking brilliant).

Adele to play the "Tea Time" Sunday afternoon slot? Not rumoured (for that slot), a real coup, her material would translate better at that time of day and she would attract an even bigger crowd than Dolly and Lionel. She has the hits, the TV figures would be through the roof and she doesn't have the pressure of being a headliner.
