Paul Weller? At this point I am thinking of possibilities.

 

Last time he played in 2015 he was a (IMHO) weak sub. Before that he was third down in 2007. I'm not aware he's done anything to deserve being bumped up to the top slot.

Is Bob Dylan a possible?

Unlikely I'd say but you could argue he fits in with the vague hints given on Twitter. My thought with Dlyan is if they wanted him, and he wanted to do it, it would have happened already though.

Madonna? She's been rumoured the past few years.

Would get my vote, Like A Prayer is the GOAT pop song.

No one really gains out of it but there was something said originally for her to be questioned.

Yeah... her friend was disappointed with a Stormzy so they started discussing it

My thought there is if they could get her, it would be done and signed already. You would think Madonna would be one of the first feelers they put out.

Go to your room immediately. And leave your phone downstairs.

Bob Dylan and Childish Gambino both seem to fit the description (solo, have a gender, unexpected, prob say no) although she reckoned a Macca fan wouldn't like them, so maybe not Dylan

But then we've got two rappers headlining - modern times eh?

Could it be Swifty has been approached but because of her lack of enthusiasm or whatever to do festivals, then this Twitter woman thinks would say no?

[strummer77]

Seems a bit early to be panicking into a shock replacement though doesn’t it? I mean Prince pulled out in April and they got The Who. 

If it was Macca pencilled in and he’s pulled the plug, he was surely the ‘safe’ bet out of the headliners. Surely they would be aiming at a safe one to replace him?

Yes but that just kinda proves it - that did seem a very panicky rebooking with havning to cancel a gig and fans revolting etc.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Nick Cave is a great shout but technically a band. Also he wouldn't say no, he's been proving himself worthy of that slot for years as a strong sub.

But there’s lots of years headliners are apparently not even booked until the new year? So this should be fairly par for the course. 

Also, without trying to sound too grim, if you line up a headliner a year or so in advance who is in his 70s I reckon you tend to have some sort of backup plan. This is some time ahead of having to announce anything so the idea they were scrambling from the other source or going for weird ones from her seems strange.

I think Stormzy will do Friday and also do Saturday now. Makes sense. 

[priest17]

Macca's still gonna do it. If he can't just borrow the one from the Bootleg Beatles.

Yep true, hope the Eavii ticked the "Do you want to protect this booking?" box when signing his contract

[Mardy]

Well, y'know Fat Bob Smith is 59, and looks a lot less healthy. Doesn't even get the exercise of waving his thumbs aloft like Macca.

I reckon it’s Ringo
