The stones cost too much, reckon they're happy with their 1 time.

The dream would be the Stones Roses but their the headliner that never was.

Are the 1975 back in the mix now? I can’t remember if they were already ruled out

Thank God! Not sure Matty Healy is quite the replacement for Macca

At least I'll make it to Hobo's midnight show at Avalon Cafe now.

Tells you everything you need to know about them.

On a scale of combined headliner strength if it is indeed Stormzy, The Cure, The Strokes where does it rank?

I can't decide if it's as bad as 08 or worse? Tempted by worse.

[ghostdancer1]

Fleetwood Mac 4.0?

final gig of the tour in Wembley the week before. although I have a vague memory of Emily ruling them out?

2008 is about equal i reckon.

They wanted to do a festival they had affinity with as they attended as children and see how they do before the leap of headlining debatably the biggest festival in the world.

Much worse in my view.

She ruled them out when Macca looked likely, maybe they're back in the running now?

[RarerThanDandyB]

I love the Strokes and the Cure so hearing them headline the pyramid, for me, is a dream.

[thrillhouse188]

Where did The Cure come from btw? Are they defo nailed on?

As much as I think Stormzy is not too bad as a whole that headliner trio is the worst ive ever seen for Glasto (thats just my opinion obviously not a factual statement) By the way 2008 was awesome headline trio  

[chatty]

If its Strokes, Cure and Stormzy then its gonna be one of the weakest headlining festivals for a while. That said Ive never seen the Strokes and ill get to go wandering the other nights so im not that fussed. Might even sack The Strokes off and go see Wu Tang if they clash. 

Be interesting to see how the clashes are cause the Pyramid is likely gonna be quieter than previous years. I can see a lot of peipke choosing Wu Tang or Chemical Brothers over the Strokes tbh.

Yes. But until about an hour ago, so was Macca.

I always thought Fleetwood Mac would make sense, given they're 'too expensive', surely Stormzy is comparatively cheap for headliner which helps make up for it?

Robert Smiths from Blackpool and the band formed in Crawley as per the twitter bio which also states they played a first show in 1978.

[Hugh Jass]

I just don't see a trio of Stormzy, Stokes and Cure. All three of them are capable of headlining, but in the same year? Not for me Clive.

I think they'll look for someone with a little more "wow" factor.

I was clearly asking where they got the name from! ?
