Don’t worry. I’m gonna take the clutch even further.

debate with me I invite it. I doubt Stormzy was their first choice. Someone was in talks and it fell through. Hence the fact Stormzy got the slot and not someone else.

why do I think this? Because Stormzy could easily have subbed. It wasn’t a position where they would only get him headline or nothing. He’s got the slot because there was no one else available for it (in my mind)

if the macca rumour is true then that means 2 major acts they had in mind haven’t gone through with it. Which just seems really bad luck for glastonbury. 

If (in taking into account timing) Stormzy was booked for a headline before macca pulled out. I highly doubt they’ve managed to be able to pull Lady Gaga out of nowhere. If so, why not book her for Friday headliner?

i think that if macca has pulled out we aren’t going to get someone like Gaga replacing him. Unless she became available only recently 

if it’s true she is doing BST, then that surely must of been booked ages ago right?

You sound like a bit of a weapon if i’m honest (no offence).

Yeah so there’s conflicting info.

anyone considered that maybe McCartney pulled out a while ago and it’s actually Stormzy that was maccas replacement?

would fit the info she had about a solo act filling in to replace? Then they just did a day shift and put Stormzy on the Friday?

we have no idea when the McCartney pull out happened? Could have been a while ago as Neil said that info is quite old

No, because Twitter girl said it was Stormzy, Macca and The Cure and the Macca replacement is a solo artist who's been approached but not signed yet and they surprised her and she thinks they may say no.

Maybe she was talking of an offer to Kendrick given he is now seemingly about.

The surprise being that it would seem unlikely given the Stormzy announcement.

I realise I'm clutching here...

Hopefully, and hopefully the reason she was surprised is because of it meaning two hip-hop headliners, and she thinks he could say no because he didn't seem to be active and apparently asks for a lot of money.

But I think it's very unlikely.

That was Arctic Monkeys.

Ah was it definitely? I just thought that was what we had all automatically assumed. A relief if so!

I think he probably was. It looks pretty certain that he was signed up as headliner at the end of the summer, and booked that far in advance certainly doesn't imply that they were struggling to find an act they wanted.

I always assumed Macca would be Sunday?

that was my assumption too - tho only an assumption.

My record is pretty crap at assuming days, so I'm currently more convinced by the different argument others have put forwards. 

[Divein]

I can’t belive I’m entertaining this idea but Stormzy was 100% their 1st choice.

You don’t book a headliner and then have them pull out nearly a year before the gig and then just bumb the sub up straight away. They’d have still been trying to book someone else now as there’s still bands who are free, and Stormzy wouldn’t have been announced till April.

The Cure are Sunday and whoever has is the Saturday headliner has potentially pulled out according to twitter girl. The Cure arnt gonna pull out of Glastonbury so it all points to Macca if it’s true which I think it is.

Quick show of hands... Who believes the Macca Out rumour?

I do not.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm still in for Macca

Nope

[whitehorses]

I think I’m 50/50 that he’s out. Though I would prefer a Gaga, or even at a push a banjo tbh, so I’m also partly hoping he’s out... 

[fernandomassuy]

McCartney pulling out? Led Zep for Sunday confirmed

 

 

 

okay, not really ?

[ParkRanger14]

Hmm so hard to tell whether Macca was in then out, or still in, or never in at all. I still think if The Cure are doing the Sunday, then the Saturday will have a massive headliner! But then I could be wrong and it could be banjo boys  

Seriously though, would love to see a headliner announced who we haven't even considered!

I can't see why he would pull out of Glastonbury and not cancel any surrounding dates

Head says yes.. heart says crammed in the Pyramid front pit close to tears of joy with a bag full of cans.. dying for a piss

If i had a gun to my head id say Macca will headline but I'm a lot less sure than this time last week. Before I was 95% sure. Now it's closer to 50%. Part of that is probably because I really want it to happen and I'm trying to lower my own expectations though.

Was about to put forward the same numbers. Although it might have gone up to 60 or 70% today since Neil haven't had any confirmation on this Macca pull out. Still bit weird that also the BST announcement appeared to have been postponed (or that was just based on really old info). 

[Doug85]

I still think Macca is in. Hoping The Cure are the ones to drop for Gaga. I have money riding on it and would prefer her show. On the other hand I don't want 3 Pyramid headliners this festival.
