They're on the list because it's free money for the bookies..

heh, indeed, stoopid of me. Bet they've only just removed the Beatles (oops and I wasn't going to get drawn into betting....)

Especially if you include @morph100 in the people who have to drink if he drinks. We'd be stuck in an infinite loop until hardware failure. 

Sounds fun, infinite loop me up!

More of a Park act surely?

Surely a John Peel slot would be perfect for them

Florence for Rock Wercther. Saturday.

I'd love to see FATM headline again outright. It's too soon, but I would be chuffed if they are the Friday headliner.

We're still between 1975 (boo!) and Gaga (yay!) though I think!

So basically Werchter have moved their festival forward a week to book these. I think they're booked their for Sunday this year and from past history of play 6 times and 3 in 12 years they sell the tickets, this would be 4 in 19 years. Monkeys played this year, Macca only played in 16 and as said it didn't sell out...it was Thursday but he's huge enough to sell it...I've known others that have. I also personally didn't see it being the most solid year, their dip maybe if you like. Kendrick, it would be two summers after release of Damn and I don't think either Werchter or Glasto will go for that...Glasto would certainly want it when it's new and fresh and he did Puckelpop this year on a 2nd year. Also Stormzy isn't going to headline after never playing Werchter anyway. 

I think Florence would get booked again for both already but I'm unsure a fest would move for her....she does sell well though.

Mainly because it means they've broken into @GETOFFAMYLAWN's house and raided the wardrobe

I believe those pieces are from the Stalker Collection at the House of Ashford.

Florence is a co-headliner along with Mumford & Sons on Saturday which is their easiest day to sell. As @StupidDream suggested, the festival probably moved because logistic regarding Tour de France and not for a certain act (at least not one of the already announced 5 headliners) .

Makes odd reading this thread when you're yet to secure a ticket. Selfishly, I've found myself hoping for a set of the most realistically irrelevant trio headliners possible so that loads of people throw tickets back into the pot.

Cure/McCartney/Stormzy seems like a good bet, only 1 real megastar in there compared to the last few years.

AM/Taylor Swift would be a bit of a nightmare ticket-wise.

Anybody else love it when pragmatic reasoning triumphs over hopeful anticipation?

Still better bookings than The Cure tbf

[sjseabass]

That ELO / Mr Oizo clash is the stuff of nightmares. Literal nightmares where you don’t fully understand wtf your subconscious is doing.

[fatyeti24]

I'd be all over that Mr Oizo gig tbf.

Pyramid

The Cure (melancholy set)

Bon Jovi playing Dublin next summer I wonder could they be Glastonbury bound. 

Not as headliners but could be on the line up somewhere, I'd certainly be there belting out living on a prayer.

Well given that Dublin date, they're 'around' so I guess we're halfway there

[ramusgrove]

Manic Street Preachers have just announced a 20th anniversary tour for This Is My Truth in May 2019, possible Other Stage headliner?
