Coachella reddit says that the Headliners are Beyonce, Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar

this apparently comes from a very good source. So they are apparently not at coachella

Belter of a trio that.

Kendrick subbing at Glastonbury would be tremendous please. I'd book him to headline personally but I've been  shouted down often enough now to agree he probably won't headline anytime soon 

Wonder when that Coachella news is coming? If it's soon, that would suggest Radiohead have their 2017 dates all sorted.

when/if Kendrick plays now, it'll be as a headliner i think (although if he's headlining Coachella next year then i guess there's always a small chance he could still be touring later in the year and make the trip over to Glastonbury as a sub). i'm guessing he'll headline Reading/Leeds in 2018 with his new album and then Glastonbury will hopefully get him next time 'round

It'll be early Jan.

I really think the Eavii should grab him as a headliner before R+L. They need to stay at the cutting edge and passing up the chance to book him as a headliner and giving R+L the honour would be a blown opportunity in my book!

well with 2018 being the fallow year and (i'm presuming) him having a new album out by then they won't really have a choice   always seemed likely R/L would get him first though - just a shame that he's yet to play Glastonbury at all. hope they don't leave it too long before booking him

He should have subbed this year to be honest. Blown opportunity!

Is your belief in the other two headliners been shaken at all by what you've heard today?

Nope.

The DP 'info' I've heard about is distinct and separate from other sources.

With DP nearly faded from view, that leaves little known competition for Ed Sheeran as 3rd headliner. Is there even anyone else we can realistically imagine coming in to play?

i can't see it being anybody else at this point. usually there are a few other names that crop up, but right now there really don't seem to be any other realistic options

the only other two yesterday seemed to be Gaga and Depeche Mode. Today it looks like DM are out of the picture, and gaga only ever really looked like not-a-headliner (and i've had some further info on that to back it up).

So it seems to be between Ed and DP, tho Glasto managed to surprise us a few years ago with Kanye who few were tipping, and they might have gone off-radar for next year too.

So Gaga subbing the Sheeranator? Cracking.

more info to back up her appearing as a non-headliner? interesting if so as i still see her as an outright headliner, but fantastic if they've managed to bag her in a lower slot. i'd be there!

I imagine Gaga subbing Sheeran. Unless this new album album of hers is absolutely huge I'm not sure she has the megastar clout she had five years ago.

Not holding out much hope but please be daft punk. Personally not got much interest in seeing Ed Sheeran and I must admit I never saw him as being of a big enough stature to headline the pyramid stage.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just as a wee ray of light, even if the Alive2017 site does turn out to be a hoax on 27/10, I don't really see how it changes anything.

If anything, the fact that they're seemingly out of the picture for Coachella has already holed that site below the waterline - but that's not to say that they won't tour regardless.

[Hugh Jass]

If we get Radiohead and the Roses I really don't mind Sheeran getting the gig. Will be happy to spend a night away from the Pyramid (hopefully at Kraftwerk).

yep it's the ideal situation for me - one Pyramid headliner i'm absolutely over the moon about, one who i'd definitely go and see given no other options, and one to be nowhere near

My feelings exactly.

[mjsell]

Gutted by the new DP news, although it has made my lack of getting a ticket last weekend feel slightly better.

For those just discussing Kendrick Lemar - having never listened to anything of him - where should I start?

[Justiceforcedave]

Well we can't have Daft Punk AND Radiohead play the same year. Who will these boards obsess over if that happens? I mean Prince, Bowie, Sigur Ros, James and ZZ Top are all out of the running now. The Efestivals top "will they/won't they" acts is as stale as the UK festival headliner pool.

two of his three albums, good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly are highly acclaimed in the hip hop world so going in to either of them is your best bet (although good kid is probably more conventional hip hop so maybe start there). his first album Section 8.0 is not quite as brilliant but is still very good

Untitled Unmastered forgotten about already ...

ha i consider it more an outtakes/compilation album than a fully fledged album  and definitely not one you want to be starting off with

[nikkic]

Until I see that line up poster I'm not giving up hope godammit! Admittedly hope has dwindled to an all time low, but it's still there none the less.
