We can only dream.

Oh word they're actually doing Crowded House and Tom Petty covers. Thought we was joking about that.

Their odds will have jumped because of a bet on them. Put a bet on one of the outsiders and see it move, if you wanna try it out.

[CaledonianGonzo]

A Split Enz cover but not Gypsy? ?

[henry bear]

There’s some deep cuts there, some from the Peter Green era, and surprising omissions (Tusk, Gypsy, Songbird)

[CaledonianGonzo]

No Man of the World either.....

I still fear Gaga will be a lost headliner; if it's not 2019 or 2020 then it's never as far as I can see. I don't doubt for a minute (health issues aside) that she'd be up for headlining which makes it odd to me that the festival has never bagged her. Presumably it's just the touring stars have never aligned. 

2009 wants a quiet word .....

She wasn't a headliner that night.  If my memory serves me, and it does, Lady Gaga subbed the Other stage to the mighty Ting Tings and Bloc Party.

So Gaga's getting good reviews for the movie, but is the soundtrack doing gangbusters business?  Doesn't seem to have hit the UK top 40 albums.

[jparx]

That FM setlist is damn fine. I'm all aboard the Macca train as this years legacy headliner, but FM doing that setlist would be a great alternative.

Yeah - true (actually it was below Ting Tings & Bloc Party!?!) but I was reading the 'festival never bagged her' bit. And you could argue that she headlined (secretly?) Shangri-La later in the evening.

Only just came out Friday. The charts update isn’t out until a bit later but it will surely be 1 or 2 on that, with the main track creeping up the singles charts also.

Reckon it'll be enough to put her back into headliner contention after Joanne flatlined?

The film will more than the soundtrack, but yeah.

I don’t think she was ever less than a headliner, just less of an in-demand headliner.

I concur with Plan on this matter, and having her back a decade later to get what's hers has a nice feel to it.

"she'd be up for headlining which makes it odd to me that the festival has never bagged her."

You misread it ?

I can see how it could be misread through. Nobody forgets 2009. Certainly not those of us towards the front. I'm sure it winked at me.

[jparx]

I'd be game for Gaga and she would be the perfect third headliner if The Cure and Macca are correct (a billion times better than Arctic Monkeys for christ sake). It just doesn't "feel" as though it's going to happen though. The only thing suggesting she might be there is speculation from us based on the new movie and the rumour from a few years ago. There doesn't seem to be much else linking her to it.

Happily be proven wrong though.

Aye.

There's still the oddity of 2017 when she gave that NME interview about Glastonbury and "I don't have permission to say anything about that." It feels like something was afoot back then and never happened. Or were they just planning for the next festival (2019)?

Might stick some money on Daft Punk for the lolz ?

Neil's mentioned before that the info comes through mainly for British acts, a tighter lid tends to stay on for Americans. I'm hoping the lack of any substantial rumour for headliner 3 means it's somebody from abroad, and that somebody is one Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

Why not Lady Gaga?

Much like Billy Corgan, she does not exist.

She'd get my vote over a repeat booking, for sure. I saw her earlier this year and although it's not necessarily my thing, it was an incredible show and her message was a positive one. The Oscar buzz around the movie seems to have improved her profile again as there were some doubts over her headliner status after the last couple of albums. She and her show were made for the Pyramid, my only doubts would be after a grueling Vegas residency next year whether she'll be fit enough to do it (given that much of her last tour was cancelled due to her Fibromyalgia)

It finishes a couple weeks before Glasto (so should have time to recover), but that's also when her album is rumoured to be out so she may be busy doing promo for it instead.

I cannot see past Arctic Monkeys despite me wanting someone else. They will not miss the opportunity. ArcticMonkeysUS knowledge makes me believe its Glasto since I do not see them doing Isle of Wight. Makes sense.

AM

Macca

Cure

can't see past it as well. seeing them earlier august really made me think though that they would be another amazing headliner even though headlining before.
