what about Kendrick Lamar as possible headliner....?

I'm the leader of the Kendrick for Glasto headliner club, but I can't see him headlining Saturday or Sunday. The dream seems to be on ice for now.

[rzwodezwo]

Obama headlined SXSW and surely he's free next year 

[Badlands]

Unless its a curveball then we're probably looking at Foo's and Sheeran. I'd have handled one of those on their own with the Roses but both is a cruel cruel blow!

[sisco]

Only headliner I was remotely interested in was The Stone Roses, so I'm very gutted right now. 

[brettredmayne]

Probably it for th Stone Roses ever playing Glastonbury, most be asking for crazy cash 

[StevieGed]

I've got the hump that they're just carefully chosen words by Emily. The 'and' being such word, if she'd have said Daft Punk or TSR, then it would be much more solid to rule the two out, but that to me sounds more like the two of them both headlining a night each. But I am quite the optimist and my glass is always, always half full 

[pjadnoo]

How about Gorillaz? Not touring at the moment, but they've got new music coming out soon, and Damon Albarn seems a fairly regular Glasto-goer. I'd rather they didn't (barely lasted a song in 2010 before rushing to see the amazing Flaming Lips), but they're probably big enough(?)

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think we need to see more movement from Foo and the other, lesser Foos to assume that they're a given.  One jokey wee show does not a full comeback imply.

Love your optimism but I feel it's curtains for The Roses and Glastonbury, next year and forever more..

[Ged Devereux]

Roses removed from rumours page! I'm still hopeful it's been mistaken and she meant it's not both, it's not like she could say one of them isn't true

[FloorFiller]

As far as acts we know are active/have new material next year and would make a great Sunday headliner, U2 are sticking out to me the most right now, although if this IOW stealing the Roses thing is true then I guess we've just gotta hope Glastonbury had a solid back up ready

Speaking exclusively to NME today, Eavis said that she didn’t know where the rumours about either act headlining the festival next year had come from.

“There’s no more [headliner] announcements now for a while, but I will tell you the other two that have been rumoured aren’t happening,” Eavis said. “There was a news story that said Daft Punk and Stone Roses. That’s not true. I don’t know where that came from.”

I thought so but then:

Okay I was rash and commented whilst still on page 113, I'm now 4 pages deeper, and there is absolutely nothing left in this glass of mine

Helluva day. One headliner confirmed, one which looked like a stick on ruled out. It's not even November.

[Winslow Leach]

It's beginning to feel a lot like endlessly analysing Emily's smallest utterances for clues-mas.

The only reason they'd have for doing it is to soothe Bono's ego.

Which, admittedly, isn't insubstantial.

I'd take U2 mind in a second! Unfinished business you say?

I'm just struggling to think who else there is unless they go with a total unexpected re-booking like The Who (although I guess U2 fall right in to that category). Still a long way to go and lots of tours/albums to be announced. Gutted about the Roses but nice to stir things up, at least for the sake of this thread  

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Emeli Sande?

[jparx]

I'm disappointed TSR are out of the picture as well, but those quotes are very emphatic. There really isn't much room for interpretation. The dream's over.

[Calvin Klein]

Bon Iver should headline. 

[AM91]

EE says about "cramming two years worth of music into next year". 

Possibly a headliner with an album out in late '17 and previewing new songs from it 

[sedra]

Bonus for this thread tho is that we can all speculate once more about headliners again:) I suspect Ed is a goer but not sure who else might be. We have the established British indie rock band Fri, a possible British pop relatively newcomer Sat and probably a US band on Sunday?
