How about sheeran getting (or previously agreeing to being) bumped down to sub on the Sunday night for Led Zep with grohl on drums.

Still can't get head around why the foos would come over to play the cheese & grain just to make the announcement, when a FB post would have sufficed!! Maybe there were other bigger things to discuss / agree / rehearse for. Plus the message on Plants site. Plus that airship thing. 

I'm generally an easy going sort of guy, but this is utter nonsense.

who actually is bigger than Sheeran currently?

World wide or just the UK?

Led Zeppelin.  Pink Floyd.  Bigger than the other two, arguably REM and Kate Bush.

Notice a pattern with those ridiculous suggestions?  None of them are actually current touring acts!

This!

Led Zep weren't a touring act in 2007 when they played a blinding, note perfect, one off show at the O2, so your reasoning is the only thing that's ridiculous!

you had to alter the premise of my question to make that work!

i'll go one further though - out of your suggestions, only the notably prolific Kate Bush actually exists.

REM wish they could have the sales of Ed!

Ed wished he could have credibility, longevity and critical acclaim of REM

Here we go again, people suggesting Sheeran will sub...

HE'S THE BIGGEST ACT IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.

[nowyouregideon]

That and as far as I know it's been his life goal to headline Glastonbury, there's no way he will turn it down and sub to someone else instead.

On purely Spotify monthly listeners Ed has around 48M, 8M more than the closest act to him

they were never my cuppa.  i'm sure i've been at at least on Glastonbury that they headlined but i wouldn't have bothered.  same goes for Ed.

Yeah but the headliner guessing game this year was severely lacking in ambition since nobody could suggest Bowie or Prince, and having just had Coldplay Adele and Muse. People had forgotten how to dream of ridiculous headliners, just let people have this moment of insanity, even though it will inevitably turn out to be Elbow.

No idea who is outselling him but his tour is not exactly massive compared to the rock heavy weights. I was reading a consequence of sound article about the 20 greatest festivals this year and they were looking at Ed as a poor headliner.

I saw a promo picture of Paramore earlier where Hayley Williams appeared to resemble an actual hobbit, and google confirms she's only 5ft 1. Bless.

All of which of course brings me back to one of my favourite photos of all time 

Tay Tay isn't even that tall.

I went to Hollywood once and it was like being in Lilliput (not the Dorset one) or in In The Night Garden.

Similar to Adele, probably.  Arenas this leg and then stadiums in 2018.

That's if he's not playing drums in Led Zeppelin.

RIP Kenny Baker. Bleep bloop.

Haven't checked dates specifically but Elton seems a reasonable shout. You could pop him anywhere in on the Pyramid - or even Other opener - as a "special booking" and he'd tear the house down. I'm going to work on the assumption that Bazza G isn't the legend slot - for some reason - and that our final act is "legend".

Tbh, an acoustic solo performance from Bruce Springsteen would go down a treat for me. But there's marginally more chance of REM tbh.

Elton has a gig in Margate or something.

Aye he's already started announcing stadiums down under next Spring, doesn't take much imagination to predict that seeing him at Wembley is going to be the most in demand ticket next summer.
