You’re not favouring Stormzy then? Based on his Instagram post or whatever it was?

I don't think it's impossible, but I also think if he was headlining there'd be more going round suggesting that he is.

Does Gaga come into that bracket?

not really. Could be her all the same.

[slash's hat]

When did gaga's Glastonbury comment happen? Before or after last year's festival?. I just think she was referring to the filming and not that she was booked.

Could it be Springsteen and not Macca, still leaving the 3rd headliner open?

unlikely as Little Steven has said they're not doing it.

Plus my Macca info should be sound, given where it's come from.

October 2016. She was attached to the film in Aug 2016 but filming didn’t start until April 2017. So it’s possible she was talking about filming at Glastonbury in 2017 but I don’t see why she couldn’t talk about a 2 minute filming segment 9 months beforehand. It wasn’t exactly a top secret surprise film or anything.

My logic (based on straw clutching) is that they were trying to book her for 2017 when she had Joanne out but as she got attached to the film and they were shooting through 2017, that was a non starter and she got pencilled in for 2019 to coincide with her new album that she’s working on and slated for release in 2019

...particularly as she didn’t even film at Glastonbury. Her sequences were Coachella

For reference, Avalon stage is about 1500-2000 capacity Busted crowd was 5000 tops (and hard to gauge when Avalon is a naturally busy field for hanging out in anyway). Stick that crowd on a main stage and it'd look embarrassing. Killers was a 'massive crowd' or a stupidly large crowd.

I thought 3,000 can get in Avalon tent. And Busted filled the tent, the field, and more, to bursting. There were at least 3 million people there. Approx. Whatever it was very fun!

You might be right on the 3000. Avalon is a 4 pole tent and I think it's an MT45 (capacity 4050) or an MT54 (capacity 4752). You lose a good chunk of that (probably a quarter) for the stage, sound and light set-up, etc so 3000 - 3500 would sound about right

Looks a pretty substantial crowd to me.

Why do we think The Cure are Saturday and not Sunday? 

Surely Macca is Saturday as he would have been given the initial choice. Especially as The Cure are playing somewhere Friday.

My guess is the cure on saturday and macca on Sunday - but it is only a guess.

Well it gives Macca a bit more time to recover from the end of his US tour on the Wednesday, and he's a classic last-night headliner for the Sunday-ticket locals!

He already has nearly three days to recover if he plays Saturday. Whereas The Cure seem to be avoiding back-to-back shows in different countries on their tour. I’d go as far as to say Macca is Saturday or nowt - he played Saturday last time and Muse played Sunday so I don’t think treating the locals was such a concern at that point.

McCartney on the Sunday seems most likely.

I'm a fairly chavvy 44 year old weirdo who takes drugs and wants to be a gangsta and now I have no idea where i'll be or where to go.

[battleborn]

Something like this:

 

Headliner: The 1975 / The Cure / Paul McCartney

Sub: Catfish & The Bottlemen /  Tame Impala  / Noel Gallagher

Other:  Underworld / Stormzy / The Chemical Brothers

Other Sub: Crystal Method / Wiley / Tycho

Legend: Barbara Streisand

 

Gives something for everything. The kids will soak up Friday night Main Stage, the druggies can crowd Other Stage on Friday and Sunday. The Chavs and grannies and old aged can hang out at main stage on Sunday and the weirdos can congregate at Main on Saturday night. All the wannabe gangstas can run to other on Saturday night for their fix.

Friday night at Other Stage, Saturday night at main for The Cure and Other for Stormzy and Sunday night at main.
