Did your source confirm the rumour that it was supposed to be ATCQ too?

it's the same source, so if Dizzee is right as a new act then ATCQ was right as the act Dizzee has replaced.

Tho in both instances the names have been given to me with "apparently" or similar, rather than with a claim of certainty.

Lol well that's a weight off my shoulders. Honestly thought they'd be bringing in somebody new but ah well, guess if you've got a suitable-ish act already on the lineup then might as well give 'em a bump up.

Oh god I'd forgotten about smug Radiohead fans as well

Makes sense, I guess.  Hiding in plain sight.  Though, as above, got no idea what his stock is these days.

That's two of the three main stages headlined by Calvin Harrisy party-bro music though.  

Better get practicing my daggering.

The very worst kind of Radiohead fan.

Gone from bonkers paper gay to plain old bonkers.

So Friday rejoins Sunday in the up-for-grabs bag.

John Peel seems to be Clean Bandit so that is out.

I wonder who is on at Avalon!!

From Marlon Brando to Wally Brando.

Don't think my mates will have a Friday headliner then. Considering the clusterfuck that appears to imminent beforehand that'll be disappointing for them for sure.

My God, why have you forsaken me?

[Hugh Jass]

Shame, I was up for Dizzee if there were no clashes. It's usually a good time, except when he's duetting with a big screen Robbie Williams of course.

Dizzee in 09 on the Pyramid was fucking brilliant!

It was also the last time he did anything of note!

Might have gone and seen him in the middle of the day for the novelty of it..  but headline, seriously?

Where's this from? There's no way Clean Bandit are headlining the John Peel.

[The60ftOctopus]

Where was Dizzee originally playing?

They're subheadlining it.

If this turns out to be a Boy in da Corner set then this is the place to be. Would love to see a banger free show from Raskit. Or miss it for Radiohead I mean.

They are confirmed for Friday in John Peel and given that in 2014 they played mid afternoon there and last year on Other late afternoon and have since had number ones in singles and albums I can't see anything else but headlining JP.

Sorry - I wish it were not true but I think it is.

The person who provided the Clean Bandit info stated they were subbing the stage

I duly stand corrected then - and am very grateful that is the case.

Don't think we had any info on him but guessing high John Peel/Other/somewhere so insignificant that they were able to just bump him up like they have.

Well that makes more sense. With Future Islands now confirmed for the Friday I'm expecting them to take the headline slot.

No bother mate, easy to miss things here!

[OBface]

The fact that it was meant to be Tribe only makes this news worse. I might head straight to Block 9 after .Paak in the event of no headliner turning up. Bah.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would laugh my ass off if my 3 Glastonbury headliners before the fallow year in the year of our lord 2017 are Status Quo, The Jacksons and Shaggy.

I believe it's came from a post on here, I've just seen him mention it on another thread and he was giving some things away the other day also
