Adele sub headliner?

[FloorFiller]

thought i'd resurrect this as it all seems to have gone a bit topsy turvy again. changed my mind from 'it's Radiohead' to 'it's probably not Radiohead', and somebody over in the Radiohead thread claims to have heard it's not them but is somebody else who is being kept very secret. Neil has also heard similar thing today, although is still sticking with his thoughts on it being Radiohead i think. who the fuck is subbing Adele!? i know we've probably got less than a week until it's revealed (whether it be an act already on the lineup (Disclosure(, a 'special guest' slot under Adele, or a brand new act announced) but it's mind boggling stuff

general thought is that Disclosure will be headlining the Other Stage along with New Order and LCD Soundsystem (Bring Me The Horizon probably sliding down to sub position). Neil has been in contact with a few people who he was hoping would confirm Radiohead as Adele's sub, but it kind of went the other way and put some doubt on it happening, and now somebody has popped up in the Radiohead thread to say they've also heard it won't be them on before Adele. that all said, it still looks likely that Radiohead will be playing the festival - just maybe not in that position

If it's not Radiohead then last year's third headliner situation has shown me everyone is fair game when it comes to Glastonbury.

However, if it's not Radiohead I think it'll be Kendrick.

We are all going to be thinking its radiohead but it will be jake bugg or someone

If it is Kendrick and Radiohead are still playing elsewhere that would be incredible

I'm just glad it looks like it's someone not yet announced. Adds a lot more excitement knowing there is potentially something big being held back.

I'm going with Diana Ross

Don't think she'd sub, more likely to play a legends slot

Yeah possibly but...

Fewer rumours about international artists, they seem to have wanted her for a while, would be HUGE so could make sense of everyone seemingly trying to keep it a secret, would fit into adele nicely.

I dunno, obviously just speculation!

Could I get from Dianna Ross to New Order in time? There is not much that would make me miss New Order but I would sacrifice a chunk of them to see Dianna Ross.

Is she on at Fold Fest?

As much as I'd like to see the Radiohead geeks on here finally get their wish, I would fucking love it to be Kendrick. If it is him, I will never ask the Eavii for anything again. You put on Kendrick Lamar, LCD Soundsystem, Art Garfunkel, Kamasi Washington, Explosions In The Sky in the same year (not to mention goddamn Grimes and Floating Points)? That's it, job done, peak Glastonbury.

Kendrick would be brilliant. I'm sorta hyped at Neil's earlier suggestion of Beyoncé now tho - that'd be off the scale.

I'm doing a Dental with this one, 'Yonce full headline set in 2017, accept no imitations. 

[Gucci Piggy]

Beyonce subbing would be baffling. Why would she do it when she's bigger than she was last time she headlined and could just headline in the next few years instead?

It isn't like the Radiohead situation where they clearly love the festival and could easily not be available again for fucking ages after this year.

[John the Moth]

Totally out there suggestion, not gonna happen, but I'd personally love it if the big secret was Foo Fighters accepting a sub slot by way of apology for last year.

Anyhoo... Back to the real world 

[Cian T]

Diana Ross, Beyonce, Foo Fighters?!

time for me to go to bed I think, dreaming already!

You've been awful quiet around here lately Gaz

 

This post helps me understand why

[djcolsen]

Is kendrick Lamar even a possibility? Would love it if it was

[Martin Ashford]

Adele being the biggest act in the World means the sub could be a VERY big name in theory. So is it not beyond the bounds of possibility that it could be someone like AC/DC, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour. There's a few of them active this summer. On the other hand, it could be The Lumineers.

This reminds me of the speculation a few years back about who would possibly open the Other Stage on the Friday.

Would it be Bowie?  Prince?  Daft Punk?

Then the Kaiser Chiefs walked out.

i think we're safe in the knowledge that it'll almost definitely be better/bigger than Ricky and the lads. it's just a case of how much better. must be pretty special if they've managed to keep it this tight lipped
