Is the Cure nailed on as being a headliner? I know theres some information saying they'll be there, but would it for sure be a headline spot on the pyramid? 

I'm not against it just curious on info. 

the info I had was about headlining. They don't do lower spots, so if they're not headlining they won't be there.

I'm pretty sure my info is right, tho I can't guarantee it.

Fair enough! 

I figured there was some reasoning I missed.

I know Michael's comments should always be taken with a great big shovel of salt but didn't he say that two (or three) of the headline acts have never played before? Guess that's out of the window

I always take his comments like those to mean two of the headline acts have never played the headline slot rather than have never played the festival.

Tenner placed on 1975. It comes down to them, Stormzy and Gaga now

I just can't see Gaga, she hasn't hit the heights of her early stuff (as far as I'm aware) so a lot would be around the film, which to me doesn't feel very Glastonbury and the film has only just been released. I can see Stormzy but he did do it last time and there's no value in the market for him. Punt on the 1975 it is..

(refuse to even contemplate Mumford)

word I've heard is that they have an offer. Can't really see it being for less than headline.

I suppose an 'offer' is still quite a leap to 'booked'? Presumably if IoW came in with a big offer and exclusive (and genuinely exclusive) then they might take that instead? 

They do fit a neat Glastonbury storyline of having played in Williams Green and worked their way up to headline pyramid.

As much as The 1975 could headline.... they could also headline the Other Stage as well. They're very much in that in-between size of band I think, so I wouldn't say any info on them definitely playing is a definitive headliner slot. Unless anyone knows more.

That's not me being biased either, I actually quite like them. I know they are less current but if New Order can headline the Other then definitely so can Le 1,975. Bearing in mind The 1975 were third down on that stage just 2 years ago.

I still 100% cannot see Stormzy being near big enough to headline at this moment.

1975 aren't my cup of tea at all, but I think the festival really needs to start and cement new headline acts and champion new music again so that would be good in my book. Much better than Arctics anyway. I'm sure they wouldn't turn down AM's if they had the chance to book them, but throwing in a newer, first time headliner really makes the trio look a LOT better. Three repeat headliners with 5 previous headline slots (yeh?) between them is a bit lame.

Gaga would be my choice for 3rd headliner but I just don't see it at all.

My money is on 1975/Stormzy, The Cure, Macca

Yep.

My take is that they'll also have an offer from Reading/Leeds, and they might be forced to pick one or the other as R/L always tries to book its headline acts as exclusives. An offer from R/L is likely to be for significantly more money, too. 

So if they do have a Glastonbury offer, that doesn't mean they'd take it.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️

    • I do love Monaco but it often seems to be a procession with limited overtakes . Although has had some spectacular crashes in the past . Hoping for a bit more action in this one 
    • Email this morning said “a few more” artists to be revealed but the main stages look pretty full per the website line-up.
    • Love this old thread. Here’s a few from last year.
