Best thing about that NME article is that they've linked directly to the Stormzy thread, so anyone who opens it will be treated to several pages of what all of our Mums think about him.

Somerset Live is waiting for @FuzzyDunlop to make a statement.

Yesss! Can’t wait for my Mum to be famous.

Nothing on the official site yet either...

Playing devil's advocate here for a minute was the plan always to announce in this manner and on this day? With most of the country talking about the Brexit fiasco this almost feels the news is being buried a little.

Could be the opposite. With the government in tatters and brexit a mess that nobody wants they may have chosen to not steal the limelight from Theresa May's car crash

As ever other artists and stages are available ?

Indeed there are, and I'm looking forward to 3 possible nights not spent at the Pyramid.

I wish his name was Sunnzy instead. Don't like tempting fate!

Coincidentally it was relatively dry the other year for Earth Wind and Fire

Has the petition been started yet then?

Obviously he’s too big to advertise his imminent Glastonbury headliner slot in Boots.

Nah he's way too big for Boots.

Neil Lonsdale plans to get on it as soon as he's finished his gammon joint.

Yes, you do, Sas. We all know we’re going to see mindless responses like that. 

And we’re pleased about it!

Until I saw the anti-Stormzy takes I had no idea there were so many lads called Ross.

Yeah my mates first reaction was “I want my money back”

Me: “You can get your money back”

[Hawros]

I heard something last night from someone who was adamant he knew one of the headliners. 

I said it was pretty much nailed on, the 3 we know. He wouldn't let it go.

He said it was The Boss. For so many reasons discussed at length here, I don't believe it. He said 'wait until it's announced, then you will'.

Make of that what you will...

There's no indication he'll even be active next summer, and having played far more shows this year than he has at any point since the 70s (albeit in fewer locations) I suspect that's because he's taking time off.

He does know there's more than one stage, right?

One of my mates is super excited about it...we've also never seen a pyramid headliner together before (or, in fact, anything from Fri-Sun) so we made a little pact to go together. I am suspecting a Prodigy/Chems clash though...but as I'm on the way to Prodigy now I can take that. I can't however take a Jon Hopkins clash....

I went to see the Prodigy on Tuesday in Leeds. Not seen them for 20 odd years. Had to drive so no alcohol. They still rocked the gaff, great night.

He doesn't take time off; it does bad things to him. Doesn't mean he'll tour though, I suppose.

I'd love them to announce Macca so I can relax, still got images of it falling through

[gearbm95]

Are the Prodigy rumors founded in anything?
