Someone on social mentioned The Killers, it's as good a suggestion as we have so far.

The issue without a was still going to be it looks weak with Stormzy headlining, without a huge act I can't see many making it a standout set of headliners.

It makes as much sense as any other suggestion so far.  The thing about The Killers is they’ll look good on TV and have a crowd of people that will sing every word to their songs.  The same cannot be said for Stormzy, The Cure and The Strokes.

The Killers played last year

Having 2 headliners and a sub who played last time would be a bit odd

The Killers don’t have any European gigs so far, and there doesn’t seem to be any reason to.

Plus The Killers are shocking.

I went to see The Killers last year at a stadium gig and the crowd was average other than Brightside and Human.

They do that one about the cage though.

They're not gonna book The Killers to come and play the worst song of all time and then The Cure the following night playing the best song of all time.

The Cure are going to cover The Sign by Ace of Base?

They might do but they'll definitely play From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea. Hopefully they do both so you're happy!

Not much different from the two years difference with the gap year of Mumford going from Other sub to headline the next edition. Primal Scream was similar too from Other sub to Pyramid sub...wanted by The Stones or not.

I know it is but let's be honest, they've took a big punt on Stormzy as he isn't a main stage headliner, I don't even think Reading would have give him that outright.

I’ve been working on the understanding Tame Impala will be headlining the Other one night. Based on no information by the way, purely on the fact they’re active, headlining festivals round the world, and don’t fit anywhere else on the farm after subbing Adele last time. 

Same.

And Kevin Parker’s slightly clumsy quotes last year seemed to confirm it.

Outside the box and has me ready to be shouted at - but what about this.

 

K-pop at Glasto?

That does not confirm Tame Impala and it won't be them.

Should be space for it somewhere being a world arts festival, maybe afternoon on west holts.

[marcwilson87]

I think (hope) there is a good chance Neil Young could be a possibility? Different band than last time and as far as I know bst isn't an exclusive... 

 

Seems more plausable than the strokes imo

[rivalschools.price]

I love the fact that, with very little to go on, we have convinced ourselves that it is The Strokes so much that people are pissed off and looking forward to them in equal measures as if it is a confirmed fact.

I'm so happy I earned a down vote off that jj fella.

Actually I'd see some fun novelty like that as more of a proposition for Pyramid, Other, JPT or Park before WH really. But yeah, some K-Pop could go down well. IMHO the more variety you see in a given day, the better. When the acts are distinct from each other it means you feel renewed watching them and can remember what you saw afterwards.

Keep this hype train in the station please, I don't want to go into fully Shakey-or-die mode and then get depressed when the Arctic Monkeys get announced.

Blackpink are at Coachella, so they do festivals. I might be in the minority, but I'd love a bit of K-pop at Glasto.

This may sound ridiculous, but Calvin Harris? I assume he would demand too high a fee and would rather rake it in in his Las Vegas residency slot all summer. 

[Razza_bezza]

This would be a moment if gaga did make an appearance with Bradley Cooper like in Vegas last night

Was there, loved it.

One way or another if it's Glastonbury or APE, get this into my summer schedule once more.

For the love of God Emily, if it means binning off Robert Smith and his sweaty arse, please please please

If he was going to perform his tunes as live as possible with guest singers then I would be happy to see him headline.

As a dj he's not worth the money.

[Superscally]

Imagine this. The way to make the Strokes the greatest headliner ever. Ignore arguing over the order, let's assume the Strokes are headlining and acknowledge fans of the other bands will argue they should sub.

Saturday Pyramid:

The Strokes

Interpol

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Vampire Weekend

Some other good stuff
