My inital prediction on the headliners thread was Radiohead, Biffy Clyro and Rihanna.

Just had a fiver on Rihanna saturday headliner at 40/1.. If she is, she pays for my ticket

Coldplay will probably close on Sunday and Rihanna isn't doing two nights running on her tour and a 2nd night at Wembley could be added if she does.

June 14 - Ricoh Arena, Coventry

June 16 - Cardiff Stadium, Cardiff

June 18 - Stadium of Light, Sunderland

June 21 - Aviva Stadium, Dublin

June 24 - Wembley Stadium, London

June 27 - Hampden Park, Scotland

I assume the rest of this new record is better than anything we've heard of it so far.

I'd be made up if she headlined but as others have said, it still seems unlikely. 

Obviously won't be able to go to the Wembley date either. FFS

At least she hasn't done a Swifty and arranged all of the English dates for G week.

[FuzzyDunlop]

If anything my bet has made her a shoe in for sunday. An act I can't stand who would make me money if she does Saturday.....

[LeeGalvin]

Oh fucking hell! Rihanna? Taylor Swift? Coldplay? Are there any acts being rumoured I'll actually look forward to seeing? Seems not. It's like the Radio 1 Roadshow.

True say! Decision time...

You wouldn't think two headliners would play Wembley the same summer? Wouldn't expect Coldplay and Rihanna, one or tother, and there's certainly one looks more likely just now

Would definitely take The Weeknd on the pyramid or other, after all, he owes the festival a favour after cancelling

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but Stereophonics have announced Cardiff City Stadium on 4th June so could be in with a shout, subbing if playing at all I'd expect.

They'd have subbed this year if they were ever going to play again, surely.

Think it makes sense now they've got a new album out, the album has done quite well too.

I think rihanna is playing another festival - which means she won't be at glastonbury

The Coral headlining Sound City is a feat for them, got to be all down to the fact their back as a band for the first time in yonks, keeping company with The Flaming Lips and B&S!! Interesting to see if/where they line up at the farm

They're also from Merseyside so that plays into headlining a medium sized festival there.

Looking at how many times they played Glastonbury before hiatus; they should seem a fairly safe bet to get a gig next year. Would be nice to see though I've barely listened to them in years so I don't really know how fussed I'd be without revisiting their stuff.

I doubt it, Glasto haven't bothered with them for years.

Elton John is headlining the Henley Festival in Oxfordshire early July, in what's said as one of only 5 shows in the uk this year

[sisco]

May have been mentioned but The 1975 and Wolf Alice have been announced for some Norweigen festival in July.

Sure they will both have high spots on the other.

[kingcrawler]

Sigur Ros have been announced for Dour festival in July. Surely we'll get one of them, Bon Iver or The National?

That would be the best trio of other stage headliners ever, just imagine 

Sigur Ros closing the Sunday up against Coldplay would be a sight to behold, I say there wouldn't be a dry eye in the field

[T-Mouse]

Fucking wonderful news about Sigur Ros! If theyre touring then its a travesty if theyre overlooked for an other stage headline slot.

[majormajormajor]

Beirut please. Please please please. They'll be touring on and off for most of the year, I would think.

[T-Mouse]

Citidel festival states Sigur ros are "London Exclusives". Im taking that as confirmation that theyre playing Glastonbury...

[Mezhyp1]

Sigur Ros are headlining Citadel in Victoria Park, one of only two shows in the U.K this summer

The "one of two UK shows" thing is a teasing one.
