Kept Pulp and Radiohead "secret" before.

I guess but by the sounds of this the act will be announced prior to the festival rather than kept as an on-the-day reveal

My bet is that it's Harry Styles performing somewhere. He's undeniably huge on the back of his One Direction days, yet has such a limited solo portfolio that he wouldn't command a prestigious slot.

His debut album has already leaked, so I'm guessing it's released soon. It's also been hugely anticipated, with papers comparing his last single to Bowie etc. His new music is far more in-line with classic pop rock and is clearly heavily influenced by artists from the past, many of whom have played Worthy Farm.

Playing Glasto would also give him authenticity as a serious artist and a prime TV slot.

It just seems to make sense.
 

Actually this is a pretty good argument. Would they have booked him six months ago though?

Did she say it would be an on the day reveal?? Did I miss that? 

I thought all she said was they have a really big secret that they have managed to keep.

Edit: Ha nevermind, read your post back to front!! Doh!!

Nope it's reported as to be "revealed soon". Pulp and Radiohead were kept as an on the day reveal.

I know some have mentioned Obama, but have anyone mentioned BERNIE SANDERS?

He's touring the UK in June...

Mark and Lauren sat on the sofa talking about possible acts for next year, then this happened.  I bet he wishes he could turn back time.

What's Rammstein up to this summer ??? 

 

The reason I say is that they were bringing a few metal acts through

To be fair to Emily, she's done very well to maintain a poker face for the last 6 months.... 

[T-Mouse]

It's a Micheal Jackson Hologram during The Jackson's west Holt's show. 

You're welcome.

Was going to say Bon Iver is playing US on the saturday. But that date is July not June. 

Had a Bon NOiver pun and everything!

Never mind. Keep the dream alive. 

Don't mean to piss on your cornflakes but Non Iver is a much better pun

Let's look at it another way Tame Impala just appeared on the final poster last year. Of course they could've been a last minute booking (not sure?) if not they're a bigger name than many that have been suggested for something described as a "big suprise"

They were only booked 2 weeks before the were announced. can't remember if it was Kevin Parker that said it or Emily, but someone definitely said it was only a couple of weeks before.

Is anyone rumoured for the Saturday Pyramid sub slot at the moment? If it is to be that slot behind Foo Fighters, Noel could be a shout

The National are almost certainly doing it.

I'm going for Macca + Ringo! The 50th anniversary edition of Sgt Pepper is out at the start of June. To add to this is the 50th anniversary of the BBC's first worldwide simulcast, which was All you need is love, and just so happens to fall on the Sunday of Glasto....

[mufcok]

I see, was just looking on the rumours page on here - looks a bit up in the air compared to Friday & Sunday

Well that would be a massive coup, and a brilliant crowd-pleaser! Oh yes go on, do it!

He mentions Steely Dan who have just announced they're over in London and Dublin in Oct, but their tickets are on sale today and tomorrow. So maybe they're the big secret (West Holts headliner?) but wanted the official tour tickets out of the way first?
