Most people would have said the same about Stormzy a couple of months ago...

I'd say Stormzy is/was far more well-known than Tame Impala and possibly Foals.

So, are the Strokes now the most likely third headliner? Or are we still speculating?

Strokes - On tour, playing festival in Europe on 11/07. Defined indie.

The 1975 - playing Reading & Leeds who never share headliners with Glastonbury.

Killers - not on tour.

Rihanna - not on tour.

Taylor Swift - not on tour.

Fleetwood Mac - Emily said not booked.

Madonna - Emily said not booked.

By name I’d say so but not by his music.

The strokes were great in 2011 but I think a part of that was I was with a big group of strokes fans who were up for it!

considering they haven’t had any sort of further commercial success since 2011 is a bit weird.

I was sold last night it was the strokes but now i’m seriously doubting it. I imagine there will be plenty of numbers in Glastos phone book before they take that big a leap.

if the two other headliners were stronger I’d probably get onboard with it - but I think this years Glastonbury could be the first festival where the undercard is technically “more popular” than the headliners.

There's still absolutely nothing to suggest Lady Gaga is there? Get a lot of people want her to play but there hasn't been anything.. at all.. to suggest it? Unless I've missed something

Her residency ends on 15th June. In that time she has to whip up a festival set on the other side of the globe.

also have you seen the Vegas residency? That would not work on the pyramid...

Cheers fella, but is "not on tour" a rule out? Glasto is a bit different, innit?

Do you really think Tame Impala have songs as well known to casual music fans as Big For Your Boots and Shut Up?

And mine, but probably for different reasons.

I've got tickets to see them the wednesday before Glasto.

The not on tour acts are American. Glastonbury means jack shit to Americans so an artist isn’t going to come out of their holidays/hiatus to do it unless they have touring plans already

also re Rihanna, her name has been thrown around a lot in previous years but I truly think she’s done with music / being a major pop star. She makes way more money with her make up line now!

Maybe but you'd expect them to do at least a few warm up shows, needed not just for the band but for sound, lights etc.

It's a risk to do a massive, probably televised show when not fully match fit.

And regarding The Killers playing Latitude, they were clearly making an exception and playing a festival way below their level. They also headlined IOW the same year.

Whilst on the topic of The Killers, they're w*nk and I'd rather watch an empty stage whilst Is This It plays over the PA.

Although I can't remember the last time they pulled a huge surprise out of nowhere, the Eavis' have never let us down before and I'm still of the opinion that they've got something closely guarded up their sleeve.

FWIW Emily never said that Madonna wasn’t booked. Only FM and LZ. Unless I’ve missed another quote somewhere?

99% sure it won’t happen though because she’ll probably be too expensive and isn’t touring.
