It’s been discussed. We’re all on denial about it.

Makes no difference seeing as 1. They're in Belgium on the day we think Macca may have pulled out of, and 2. They were already in the area so moving those dates to June doesn't mean anything.

No that’s not true

information has pointed to Cure being on Saturday right? Mumfords are playing RW on the Saturday so they could play Sunday.

also didn’t that twitter user say Saturday headline was the cure?

i don’t want it to be Mumfords but don’t discard them just because you don’t like them. I’d say they are more likely (and cheaper) as a back up booking opposed to pulling Gaga out of nowhere.

Just when I thought I couldn’t dislike them more, they sign off as M&S.

And didnt Nail have info on a "band" being approached, which he'd initially discarded as he thought headliners were confirmed and now is questioning....

That was the Arctic Monkeys I thought?

I'm not discarding them as I don't like them. I actually wanted the third headliner to be someone i don't want to see because I don't want three nights at the Pyramid.

Based on tour dates it seemed more likely that The Cure would be on Sunday than Macca, and then Twitter girl's info said The Cure Sat and Macca Sun but someone on here on the same day said they'd specifically heard that Glastonbury's Saturday headliner has pulled out. So yeah we have info of him on either day, so it's 50/50 if you just base it on that, but when I take into account tour dates I'd say it's more likely that he was the Saturday headliner. But yeah, that's not a definite.

Edit: And Twitter girl said it's a solo act who was a massive surprise and she thinks they may turn it down. Mumford and Sons don't fit that at all.

Bunch of peeps here have heard The Cure for Sunday as well. No ones actually heard Saturday apart from jenniferaliceee.

[Matt42]

Yeah so there’s conflicting info.

anyone considered that maybe McCartney pulled out a while ago and it’s actually Stormzy that was maccas replacement?

would fit the info she had about a solo act filling in to replace? Then they just did a day shift and put Stormzy on the Friday?

we have no idea when the McCartney pull out happened? Could have been a while ago as Neil said that info is quite old

Yeah, a few posters have had texts off friends who know these things saying ‘Fri-Stormzy, Sat-McCartney, Sun-The Cure’. A big deal wasn’t made of them because we were already zeroed in on that outcome.

Saw them in Glasgow last night.  If it’s any consolation the banjo has been ditched for more than a few songs, maybe not headliner material but certainly entertained the crowd.

Considering how Storm Z had been teasing his announcement a while back, seems unlikely that's the case.

that seems very unlikely. Stormzy instagrammed at the end of the summer, and it's pretty clear now he was booked as headliner back then.

the longer ago that Macca pulled out (if he was in so that he could pulled out), the stranger it is that there's no one saying that he's pulled out apart from twitter girl.

In fairness we have no idea the pull out happened at all. The evidence is so flimsy Somerset Live haven’t even run an article on it

in which case twitter girl is clearly wrong and should be ignored by anyone believing The Cure are Sunday.

Maybe she was talking of an offer to Kendrick given he is now seemingly about.

The surprise being that it would seem unlikely given the Stormzy announcement.

I realise I'm clutching here...

To me, Stormzy was booked as headliner precisely because they didn't want to book another american rapper (amongst other things).

Remember kids, the McCartney pull out is not an effective method.

Don’t worry. I’m gonna take the clutch even further.

debate with me I invite it. I doubt Stormzy was their first choice. Someone was in talks and it fell through. Hence the fact Stormzy got the slot and not someone else.

why do I think this? Because Stormzy could easily have subbed. It wasn’t a position where they would only get him headline or nothing. He’s got the slot because there was no one else available for it (in my mind)

if the macca rumour is true then that means 2 major acts they had in mind haven’t gone through with it. Which just seems really bad luck for glastonbury. 

If (in taking into account timing) Stormzy was booked for a headline before macca pulled out. I highly doubt they’ve managed to be able to pull Lady Gaga out of nowhere. If so, why not book her for Friday headliner?

i think that if macca has pulled out we aren’t going to get someone like Gaga replacing him. Unless she became available only recently 

if it’s true she is doing BST, then that surely must of been booked ages ago right?

edit. I think the timings of when these supposed pull outs have happened are really important

I think I missed this point until now, the whole McCartney pulling out rumour started by one person on Twitter? <ignores>

Maybe. But the days could have been jumbled by whoever told her. Someone else also heard that Saturday’s headliner has pulled out - which would be McCartney in this.

Also we shouldn’t go around referring to grown woman we don’t know as ‘girl’. Seems kinda patronising.

The info of Macca pulling out and being replaced by a mystery name came after Stormzy was announced.
