"Really big secret"

[FloorFiller]

The Green Day info had them specifically headlining Other, and Emily has named BBK as the Other headliners that night so I can't see them slipping Green Day in above them/Green Day being elsewhere on the bill.

There's not a chance in hell that Phil Collins has been prepping his own band for the tour and Genesis. I realise that this thread is hitting peak speculation, but behave, people!

Ben, Ben, Ben.... that's not the spirit. You need to suggest an entirely implausible suggestion which we then get irrationally convinced is definitely playing, setting our expectations so high that we are crushingly disappointed when The Kooks are announced.

Their dates are free and they're in Europe, though unlikely I'd say.

Bit random (and not sure if it's that big of a deal) but i think Celine Dion is around glasto week

That'd be huge, i'd hate it, but it'd be huge.  I'd probably get dragged to it too.  Looking at her dates I think it'd involve her doing three days in a row, and she doesn't seem to do that - not impossible though.  Also, it'd be Saturday?  I guess if they could get her then she'd be on whatever day she's available, but Sunday would be more likely...

I'm glad somebody else mentioned them

 

This is my dream, don't piss on it

Loving the wild speculation on this thread. 

My twopence: Emily is referring to either the legend slot or Other opener. The tone of the interview suggests it'll be an announced slot, too.

On the Sheeran secret slot, as @eFestivals has previously suggested, strongly hinting at it would kill it stone dead. Don't think she would wish to do that. Even if speculating might lead us there.

Full 4 day festival with Thursday still having a huge pyramid headliner to be announced would be amazing. Could be why she said 'we're fitting in 2 festivals worth of acts' a while ago. Unlikely really, but I can dream.

imagine this with a decent headliner. this forum would collectively go mental for days

I think we're all getting a bit carried away here with Stone Roses etc.

I'm filing this under the same category as 'it's going to be the best one yet!' which usually precedes an always excellent but standard Glastonbury. Basically expectations set to minimum.

Elbow it is then.

Anything to do with a new area ? or anything relating to cinema car mageddon ? I'm sure this will be a bit more than a few cars plonked in a field !!

Going to be the best one yet means , Cold play Muse and Elbow are playing 

[pie_and_a_pint]

I'd be happy if it was Barry Gibb as the Sunday Legend, because he really is a legend and I bet he'd be ace.

Too close to the festival for that IMO

Yes please!

would be great!!!

[thatcrazypenguin]

why are people so sure its not the other stage headliner one night? could easily have convinced a large act to do that, its not much of a step down from the pyramid (other then headlining the pyramid of course but those are already nailed on) after all stage times and lineups havnt been announced yet.

Do we think theyll let us into it when the final poster is released? or will it be kept as a secret right up to festi time?

Difficult to imagine it's a situation where it isn't him - they'd only be replacing him with someone with fewer bangers in their repertoire.

I'd love them to keep it a secret up until festival time. If we get through the gates and find out in our programme then either a) we're ecstatic and it makes things even more exciting or b ) it's nothing special and we carry on with the festival as usual but at least we got a bit of excitement out of the speculation and wishful thinking (much like having an unchecked lottery ticket)
