Could The Kinks do it? Last I heard a reunion was on the cards...

https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/the-kinks-reunion-ray-davies-band-pete-quaife-a8418221.html

Something like:

Friday: The Cure, Vampire Weekend

Saturday: Arctic Monkeys, Stormzy

Sunday: The Kinks, Liam Gallagher

Originally I thought Madonna, but with Kylie playing I think it makes it seem a bit less likely.

As influential as they are, I don't think The Kinks are headliners. Could be wrong, but they have a lot of "meh" records. A year or so ago, I took advantage of Spotify to find examples of hidden gems in their back catalogue beyond the handful of songs we all know. I came up with literally nothing.

I agree on them probably not being headliners, but I'm still staggered by that second contention. They've got oodles of great deep cuts.

Far more chance of having both Kylie and Madonna than The Cure and The Kinks

little hunch at Stormzy purely for reasons mentioned but there is a slight doubt in him now, FATM and Arctic Monkeys. When we look at who could do it and size to do it, FATM has a massive tour and sold everything out quick I believe, plus I don't think she'll be chosen, 1 to do it on the 50th....I may be wrong and 2, as that would be her 2nd year. 

Realistically she's going to be booked around Europe next year and as soon as she is she becomes a contender, I've ignored it a bit due to 2015 but in reality it is 4 years later if only 3 festivals later and had she not stepped up to headline in the end that year I've no doubt she would be given the option on this album now. She could close it and Arctics Saturday tbh too but I don't think she'll do the Friday.

Florence will headline at least one major festival next year, but it won’t be Glastonbury. IOW and TRNSMT would be my guesses.

very early for this kind of info isn't it ? and with kylie also .... is this deliberate policy change or someone new with a loose tongue doing the booking ? 

Depends. Would be early to get someone nailed down, but if it's a "Been told so and so are headlining, don't know if it's true but based on where it's come from it should be" type deal I don't think it's strange to be getting some of those around this time.

not really for headliner stuff.

nah, just the music biz.

TBH, it could be gossip based more on assumption than fact, although it shouldn't be that ... then again, some of it conflicts and only one version of that conflicting stuff could be right.

am hearing that Macca is a done deal.

Hard to say how much confidence there should be in that, although I definitely lean towards it being right.

I guess it'll be shown as wrong fairly soon, if Macca announces more US dates.

Oooh had written him off due to those dates but this is exciting. First proper headliner rumour! And a great one at that.

    • Similar to Sofia Kourtesis opening the stage in a recent year -  how about Ella Minus - who still i believe not played the fest - Sure she would pop up with a couple of DJ sets elswhere aswell

    • The Reds felt premierleage soft -  but also probably legitimate  rules wise-  think some of us including me might have to ajust our normal judgement on this a bit   Good luck to Christian Romero -     
    • And....  the perfect act to sub headline pre  Bonobo.  -   Max Cooper on before for a fantastic double just those new Park screens wont know what hit them with Max Visuals -        
    • I think people that used to be able to do a lot of gigs have had to be more picky and make a decision rather than going to most of what they’d have been able to previously. The prices are just crazy now and if you add in spending money, transport & a potential hotel, all of which has gotten more expensive unless it’s a local gig or smaller independent venue it becomes holiday money. Even if your local and it’s an arena gig it could be higher than a days pay for some.
