Does anyone else think we are due for a big surprise or 2 on the line up? I remember in 2011 being shocked in a good way at Morrissey & QOTSA being there.

I have a feeling something or someone big & unexpected could turn up in a prominent slot. Probably sunday other headliner. I don't quite buy Green Day for some reason. 

Me neither I can't see that happening in a month of Sundays 

I think you might be on to something but I don't have a name to suggest

I certainly hope so. It's one of those years where we have a lot of names essentially TBC but not many of them seem particularly seem big enough for the Other headliner/Pyramid sub slots. I'm hoping that they have a few exciting names up their sleeve, and it's not just a case of one of the already rumoured acts being plonked on the Other stage as a headliner. I'm a fan of Justice, for example, but I'm really hoping there's something bigger coming for that slot.

Nile Rogers has ruined one of the Beck/Sigur Rós level surprises tbh.

I hope we get surprised with one of Kendrick, Bon Iver or Frank Ocean but not expecting any.

Bruno Mars has a Glastonbury shaped hole in his tour dates, he could definitely sub.

Im not a fan, but he could

Kendrick is the dream. It has to happen eventually, but I don't think this is the year.

 

Plus he'd probably clash with Radiohead.

Would it have been that big a deal? He has played since last fallow year and played hundreds of festivals in the UK between then and now. Think the two you mentioned have been much more a live rarity in recent years so had a bit of an edge there.

[home to you]

Bon Iver is the first name I'm looking for when the poster drops. That would be up there with the Sigur Ros surprise from last year for me.

[BlackHole2006]

Yeah Kendrick subbing Radiohead would be bloody excellent.

The bold @Matt42 reading the replies to his prediction;

Checkmate. Checkmate. Checkmate.

Dang.

Nah not really I was just thinking as an act we weren't really expecting who'll be in a big slot.

Guess it'd be more similar to the Madness announcement last year, though, which wasn't really big news.

With you on that. 

[BlackHole2006]

Phish would be the ultimate dream.

Kendrick needs to drop another amazing album then headline the full thing on his festival debut

Only rapper on the planet who could realistically headline after Jay Z and Kanye

I was thinking about this the other day, Kendrick is obviously going to be a headliner soon and I can see Reading giving him the bump up, but it is a shame that the Glastonbury choices for a hip-hop headliner are so slim.

Eminem is way too expensive, he doesn't like being filmed, a lot of people are put off by tracks like Kim and he hasn't released anything decent in years. The only one I can see in the future except for Kendrick is Drake.

Exclusive elsewhere (Green Man or one of those other similar small fests).

Future Islands now playing Nottingham Rock City on Thursday June 22. Moved from April.

Still hope for Friday!

Bon Iver should be nailed on at this point. Gutted it's looking like a negatory on that front.

I don't really like Bon Ivor but great use of negatory there.

I just choked on my mid morning snack seeing this! Thought the day had come early!! Ha. Had to check the main site and reassure no one else had commented. Nice effort tho. Pretty full with bands I'd wanna see on the real thing

We know it ain't the real thing but probably a lot of crossover there. So who are the five you've gotta do?

Radiohead, Barry Gibb, Van Morrison, Chic and ATCQ straight off the middle tier and that's of the folk I've not seen before!
