I honestly can't remember but I know the Stones were on the poster as I remember being very excited when that dropped. Were the other two announced before?

Stones were announced on the radio. I still remember tuning in to Absolute at 7pm to find out and they started playing Satisfaction. I was in the kitchen at the time FYI.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though the Stones Twitter account started posting pictures of them in farm-based scenarios beforehand. This type of thing:

Fucking hell it seems really weird now that Metallica headlined Glastonbury. And I was there.

N'awww yeah and it was so so so good. I kinda hold my tongue about all other headliners at this point coz I feel like they booked someone detrimental to the line up to make me happy.

After they book Nick Cave to headline they can do what they want, give mumford a residency for all I care.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fucking hell.  I'm not a metalhead. You can count the number of times I've listened to Master of Puppets on one hand. They were divisive.  Their crowd wasn't giant.  

But they had more right to be on that goddamn stage than a guy who looks like a riverboat gambler from a non-Jim Henson Muppet production

With his one karaoke song.

When was the last time two headliners were unannounced when the big poster dropped? I can only think of the Who not being announced before the poster in the time I've been going, and that was only because they were a late booking

Really? I don't think they'd ever put a TBC on the poster?

[Doug85]

Can we please stop mentioning the stones as it will not be them this year and I can't deal with the rise of potential hope that it could even possibly be them to have that taken away from me.

Yeah, special guests, but not a specific tbc...

Think they’re in the States this summer so you’re quite safe.

If we end up with a poster that says “Stormzy, Special Guests, The Cure” I’ll be inclined to start thinking that maybe it’s not The Killers on Saturday night...

Nah dude you just misunderstood the conversation. @zoomusicgirl said Metallica was listed as TBC on the poster. I said I've never seen TBC on a poster. Then we talked about special guests and I said I couldn't remember specific posters. Lucky I love you.

A lot of people been mentioning Foals for Other headliners.

Are they definitely not big enough to headline Pyramid? They can’t  be far off and with new album out before the fest I reckon they’d go down really well.

I think now that Stormzy has been announced it makes it even more unlikely but if he hadn’t I could see them headlining one night with two older/more established artists making up the headline trio

I think they’d go down well as an announcement - they seem really popular now on social media and a lot of people want to see them make it. Just doesn’t correspond with what Emily and Nick think would be a good move I guess.

They’re definitely not headlining this year’s if they’re taking the Noel trail around fests. I think we have our Other headliners pretty much sorted but there’s space for them to sub Pyramid again.

No. Foals don't pass the Mum Test.

You are absolutely right. I remember tuning in. But then didn't the poster drop straight after?

[Zoo Music Girl]

I remember the 2013 poster fondly because it had Nick Cave and Smashing Pumpkins on it and I didn't know then that they would clash. Halcyon days.

Re: Foals. I really can’t see Glastonbury having the same headliner with Truck Festival.

[justperfect]

Do the festival put TBC or special guest on the first drop poster when the act (whoever it may be) hasn't yet signed on the dotted line or are they already in the bag and being kept back for other reasons?

Both.

[justperfect]

Or nothing has actually been booked and the powers that be are frantically scrapping the bottom of the barrel and coming up with the killers

You know the board has tired when this is even talked about. If they are going to do that then Idles may as well get the bump up too and play 500 festivals plus headline Glastonbury 

[morph100]

Has Michael Eavis come out and said this is the best lineup yet?
