Santana playing BST this year. Reckon they could be a West Holts headliner?

probably beyond West Holt's budget.

Depends when the album's ready to drop. Looks unlikely that we'll get anything before the year's out now (nobody releases anything in December or January) but early 2018 could easily see them touring the album in time for Reading/Leeds next year and GF in 19.

[Kalopsia]

True! I see your point, I just don’t see them at Reading next year, but I’m happy to be proven wrong haha.

Unfortunately not many other places would suit them, I suppose there's a few slots on the Pyramid, but I couldn't imagine them anywhere else.

Do you reckon Run-DMC are beyond WH budget? Headlining Nass next year is a bit of a step down from IOW this year, might put them within reach.

i reckon they'd be within reach, tho it's mostly a guess.

I don't think they'd be as much as a stretch as I think Santana would be, anyway.

Drake ain't doing glasto. 

Why think you, Mash-o? Reading fest would likely go for him first, and Leeds festival after that (or perhaps the other way around), but after he's successfully headlined those two, he'd be an obvious option for the Glastonbury if they want to have new headliners.

Or they might just get Coldplay and Muse again.

[Gucci Piggy]

He's already an obvious option imo. The fact they've gotten stick for booking hip-hop headliners in the past and the fact he could earn more doing stadiums could stop it happening, but I don't think it's particularly unlikely.

[FloorFiller]

I might have included him in a previous prediction of mine, but as is I don't see Drake doing it. Currently in the 'so big he wouldn't benefit from doing it' bracket and when/if he ever fell off then I doubt Glastonbury would want him, and anyway, with Kendrick currently making waves I can only see him as the next hip-hop headliner and Drake being ignored completely. It's not like they're having hip-hop headliners frequently or anything.

Muse will be the next hip-hop headliner

Can't wait.

Disagree. U2 will be the next hip hop headliner.

We'll do Drones; your fast playing + my fast MCing, people won't know what's hit them.

Red hot chilli peppers and green day are the only huge rock bands who haven't headlined yet so I feel they'd book one of them in for 2019 and keep arctic monkeys back for the 50th anniversary because tbh they're probably the biggest British band right now - and that's after having done nothing for 4 years- imagine the scenes when they come back. They'd be ideal for 2020 alongside 2 legendary (older) headliners

Oddly enough, I changed Arctic Monkeys to Red Hot Chili Peppers In my rolling iPhone notes Glasto prediction (c'mon I'm sure everyone has these) just today. Dunno what it is but RHCP just seem more viable since headlining Reading last year and it follows on well from Muse and Foos.

Whenever Arctic Monkeys return, I just hope they schedule Portishead opposite them again for all of us who chose poorly last time.

I don't think they would be. DMC does loads of little events through his writing, I've spoken to him a couple of times (about comics!) but I don't think they'd be in it just for the money. 

Interesting fact - do you know how DMC kept his shoes on with no laces? He used to buy them half a size/size to small to keep them tight.

Bad things do tend to happen in threes, but let's not actively hope for it.

[Guest]

Idk about RHCP, I was kinda under the assumption that they missed the boat with them, shoulda booked them 10-15 years ago when they were arguably in their prime. Their live shows nowadays seem to have mixed reviews at best.

Guess it's not out the question, but feel like 2019 would be too soon for them anyway to come back. They tend to have 4-5 year gaps between albums which would mean it'll probably be 2020/2021 till they're touring properly again. Guess they could do some random odd shows though a la Isle of Wight 2014.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I don't see em doing it. By the sounds of it they've never been in the Eavis' plans, whereas they'd been having discussions with Foos for years and obviously Muse have headlined three times so have always been seen as an option by the festival.

[Hugh Jass]

It was said on here that RHCP offered to play for free in the 90’s but were declined by Eavis.

They could not Give It Away, Give It Away, Give It Away now.

Hmm. That sounds clever until you see the state of his crippled toes.

They were booked to play in the 90’s tho. Eavis might have just temporarily froze them out because of the ignominy of having to book Lenny Kravitz as a replacement.

Hey I’m not hoping for willy socks, I can just see them on the horizon.
