Liam subbing The Killers is the counterweight to whoever was there to criticise the Stormzy booking. 

Aside from the Janet rumour which im not sold on, any ideas of who could be due to sub Friday and Sunday? Im sold on Tame Impala and Chems on the other but enjoy a good pyramid sub when the suns going down so be nice to catch someone if I don’t get a chance to see Liam due to Chems/Tame being on the Saturday. 

Cant lie but Pharrell was a proper party in 2015, weather was cracking the flags. Loved The xx before Radiohead too, it was great seeing them play Loud Places in a state of ecstasy could you say!

 

My guess is George Ezra for Friday sub. Nothing on it other than he’s free that weekend and I’d be surprised if he wasn’t there.

outsider bets for Catfish & The Bottlemen but idk.

I think, if I'm reading him right, that rumours, by their nature, cannot be dud.  They are neither true nor false.  Any confirmation either way and they become facts.  I don't recall a rumour from 2010, but it's possible there was.  And we all know the Stroked didn't play.

The strokes on the park won’t happen surely. Gotta be John peel, same as the killers last time if they’re doing a secret set.

Nah not the actual Park Stage. Crow’s Nest.

If I even get a whiff of a secret Strokes set in John Peel I'll be sat in there early doors, that would be something to behold

[RarerThanDandyB]

Wait does any information suggest this, how has it come up?

[Bradders]

The Strokes are renowned for only playing for big money, why would they do a secret set?

They had money left over from the three headliners as they all only cost a fiver each.

[mufcok]

Stormzy is paying the festival to play there

[forjustoneday]

In terms of the 'secret set', how secret actually is it? I.e. how long before the 'secret' band play is it revealed/known....

Whenever there’s a secret set it’s always pretty easy to find out who it is on the day by coming on here. Anybody who did a bit of sleuthing knew it was The Killers in 2017, and likewise for most of the others from previous years.

If so, we’ve got our 2020 Saturday night headliner already..

No. It’s not happening and The Strokes won’t be playing if they’re not headlining. There’s a rumour about The Strokes playing Glasto every time they have European shows in the pipeline.

[Mouseboy11]

Do people think The Cure could headline the Other Stage? The Strokes could then headline the pyramid 

[dentalplan]

Adele playing before The Strokes, because she’s scared of big crowds and they won’t have one.

This is going to be some John Peel lineup. Surely Liam would open that? Beady Eye went down well.

[priest17]

I'd rather have The Voidz than a Strokes secret set.

Man the strokes get such a thrashing on this board. I’ll be watching them even if they’re playing inside the long-drops.

 

This might be the best use of a gif I’ve ever found.

They know they do their best work when noone is actually there to see it.
