The big anniversary line ups...
10th - There wasn't a festival ?
20th - The Cure; Happy Mondays; Sinead O'Connor 
30th - Bowie; Travis; Chemical Brothers
40th - Gorrillaz (replacing U2), Muse, Stevie Wonder.

 

Yeah I'm not expecting a huge amount out of the ordinary to be honest. A bigger than usual legend and maybe the odd big act popping up somewhere unexpected (basically, Coldplay doing a secret set somewhere). That'll be it.

Why don't they give us what we want and arrange a Longpigs reunion to headline.

[kalifire]

Only Emily’s already said that a lot of the bigger acts they wanted have deferred until 50th. Gave me the impression they could have their pick next year.

It doesn’t make sense though really, does it? The 50th is important to the festival, but it won’t have more people attending. It won’t have more television coverage. The best they’d get is association with an anniversary year so maybe slightly more press, but acts that are massive wouldn’t need that.

Because I have their drummer chained up in my shed.

Nope. @mufcok is spot on.

Elton headlines for me alongside AM and Macca. 1975 might have to wait. 

That's close to my dream line up. Don't want to even think about that being a possibility... ?

I agree it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Then again, if Percy approached them and said "cos its your 50th I'll finally do it", they're not going to knock him back, are they? 

It could come together as something special but I don't really think it will.

That's why the Corpulent Abominable Snowman is right on the money.

I think the chains are somewhat unnecessary now.

I for one am looking forward to Job for a Cowboy finally making an appearance for the 50th anniversary.

The 1975 aren't going to headline the 50th Glastonbury the year after they headlined R&L. Put Coldplay there and its probably not far off including Elton.

Why would they say no to The 1975 and instead book a band who've released nothing since the last time they headlined and have already headlined 4 times lol?

Cool.

Neutral Milk Hotel headline John Peel opposite Arctic Monkeys, too.

If 1975 didn’t tie themselves down to reading I honestly think Glasto might of given them a shot this year.

No mate they'd have booked Coldplay instead.

And Dua 3rd Pyramid.

I know you're joking but I would love this so much. Two perfect albums in my opinion.

I 75% get this joke but my point was if they legitimately have given it to the strokes, I’d find it surprising if the 1975 wouldn’t be asked (reading aside)

I reckon the 1975 might have shot themselves in the foot a bit with their plan. If they held for Glasto this year they might of got the slot. I can’t see them being harder to arrange than an American band.

whereas for 2020 you have no idea what priority headliners are lined up before them

Glastonbury will try to get the biggest, most affordable acts available. The 1975 will be one the biggest, most affordable acts available. They'll be in the mix.

I was agreeing with him, man.

Soz if already been said but The 1975 are now booked for all nights of Glastonbury elsewhere

I'm only joking in the sense that it wouldn't happen.

Really next year should be the year of the reunions. Longpigs, Led Zeppelin and Beastie Boys. With John Bonham's son stepping in for all the deceased members (he can rap, right?)

Oh really? Don't think that has been said, there was a post on here screenshotted earlier saying they're definitely subbing The Cure...

They've just been announced for Sunday at Open Air in Switzerland.
