He didn't call them Wings for nothing...

It's not a plane it's a Jet.

Macca is playing Wednesday night (Thursday morning our time) in the States, so even if he leaves straight after he'll be touching down here Thursday night/Friday morning. You'd think they'd grant him as much time as possible to recover and get himself fit to play. 

yeah, Macca on Sunday would seem to make the most sense against that.

Which would put The Cure on Saturday.

Make AM less likely, given it would be a Friday slot for the 3rd time based on that?

If you judge it by 2013 Michael and Emily don't seem to like the locals all that much.

If you judge it by 14 as well they seem to be in outright warfare with the locals.

Which also makes The 1975 more likely..... dear god!

True but they were slightly big in 2013 (not that they warranted to headline IMO). Plus they probably thought that they had given them more than enough with Beyonce' at the last one 

"Sorry Mr Mumford, we were going to book you for this year, but we don't think you're big enough to appease the locals, so we'll pull another bigger band out of our arse instead.... Sorry, what's that Michael?... OK Marcus,my dad's just pointed out that they did get Beyonce 2 years ago so they'll understand having to settle for you. See you in June".

"We'd like to book you this year, lads, we really would. But the only thing that stands in the way is that it'd be the third time you've played a Friday and we really can't have that. I'm sure you'll understand".

I don't think that makes much of a difference really. They won't turn down AM because they can only fit them on Friday and they've already headlined the Friday twice before. 

I don't think the days, generally speaking, make much of a difference at all. I don't think you're likely to see a young up and comer given the Sunday headline slot (if that's not the case, surely they would have just moved Flo to Sunday and not asked the Who to cancel the Paris date a few yars back?), but other than that I think anyone can slot anywhere really.

[Hugh Jass]

If you look at the last few years it certainly seems that the "least popular" of the three headliners has been on the Friday, certainly the one that attracts the least buzz from the mainstream. Whether this is a coincidence or deliberate move from the organisers I couldn't say.

If I remember it right a few people on here suggested that Milverton & Sons were specially chosen for the locals as they sit on haystacks playing banjos and the residents of Somerset are presumably all farmers / bumpkins.

[Thunderstruck]

Won't happen but I'd absolutely love to see Metallica again. They have a big Glasto shaped gap in their tour, but I'd imagine that is so Lars can go roam the fields for the week! 

[kalifire]

Still don’t think The Cure will headline. 

AM, Kendrick, Macca. 

They’re my baseless speculation today. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Kendrick's Instagram feed suggests he's hung up his touring boots for the foreseeable future.

nah, don't really think that works. It tends to be the the younger &/or more-rowdy bands on Friday, so AMs would fit with that.

Yeah he's not going to take DAMN into a third year.

Why doesn’t his time on a top-of-the-range private jet constitute rest? Does he fly the plane himself, singing Hey Jude all the way?

"Does he fly the plane himself"

No

" singing Hey Jude all the way?"

Yes

Surely not, the flight is only 12 hours long....

[The All Round Ball :|]

Does anyone think we will get an act announcement this month like how Radiohead got announced 2 weeks after ticket sales for Glasto 2017?

can only be guessed at.

Early announcements are normally driven by what the particular band wants to do.

Are we giving any credence to the recent Bruce rumours?

Just a few rags reporting that "a source close to the festival’s organisers has said that Bruce Springsteen will be one of the three headliners". Also, Paddy Power slashed their odds

Didn’t ‘Little’ Steven call the rumours ‘bullshit’ recently?
