Well there you go.

[kingcrawler]

I wonder if they'll announce Stormzy first. His announcement is certainly the most headline-grabbing of the three rumoured headliners and I reckon they'll want to make a big deal out of him headlining.

[Crazyfool01]

not sure why they wouldn't reveal that now ..

[Matt42]

Kinda feeling like I might try the resale now (providing if I can make the festival)

no mega headliners pulling in all their fan base to try for tickets I reckon the resale might be an easier shout.

i know a lot of people who are going to be very disappointed with Stormzy, The Cure and Paul Mccartney but that’s a good thing. This is what Glasto needs to survive I think...

Is she saying he's fat?

[Gnomicide]

More reports coming in.

Was just at the Introducing chat, without saying his name Emily couldn’t have made it clearer Stormzy is headlining Friday. 

 

All male headliners next year, she’s tried to get females across the festival but said the pyramid is harder as at the moment there just aren’t enough headline acts - reckons that will change in 5 years though.

 

2020 headliners are being booked now, mentioned they looked into one night being a ‘collaboration’ as loads of artists have held off for 2019 in the hope to play 2020

[the wonderwhy]

oh boy! co-headliners! 

[dentalplan]

Why does Stormzy, the most enormous headliner, not simply eat the other headliners?

[Guest]

Looking very likely that it is Stormzy, The Cure and Macca then. I think it's a solid trio and like others have said, it's good to have a year that's not full of megastars. Booking acts like Stormzy is exactly the sort of thing the festival should be doing every so often. I don't think it's any weaker than 2014, if anything it's probably stronger.

Won't be getting my hopes up for the 2019 festival then I suppose!

That virtually confirms with the above Stormzy and Liam.

I'm guessing they are waiting for him to announce his new album. If they announced him now they'd get the same reaction that we saw on here with people going "but he's only got one album, he can't headline" etc.

'Couple of blokes' definitely suggests solo artists as well, which makes Macca seem even more likely.

Doesn't really apply to The Cure though, so wonder if that's now in doubt?

I'm clinging to The Cure being wrong. Still doesn't feel quite right for me. Stormzy and Macca are looking nailed on.

[CJTM]

Very unrelated but if anyone wants a giggle

Don't take it too literally...a couple of blokes doesn't have to mean all headliner based and tbf Stormzy and Macca are a couple of blokes generally speaking and The Cure are more a band.

How does that confirm Liam in any way?

Stormzy and Macca is "a couple of blokes", though.

[kalifire]

Perhaps 'a couple of blokes' and 'Madonna would be amazing' hints that the third headliner is yet TBC, and that they haven't given up on getting Madge yet.

But I read in the other thread that he's a little rapper.
