FloorFiller Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she on at Fold Fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)?

CHRLY Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Kendrick would be brilliant. I'm sorta hyped at Neil's earlier suggestion of Beyoncé now tho - that'd be off the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 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 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 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.

Martin Ashford Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
