Any further thoughts/predictions on this secret? Guessing you're still in the dark

yep, in the dark and without time to try and hunt anything down.

If it's an act, it has to be somebody that's either an exclusive elsewhere or have insisted it's kept a secret due to their own ticket sales, so we should be able to narrow it down from that. I can't see it being a suprise just because they fancy surprising us. I think part of why the Libertines was a suprise was due to them being Reading and Leeds exclusives? Not just because they thought it would be fun.

Gonna be Gaga or something underwhelming.

Why does it? Why can't it just be a surprise for the mad craic? People like surprises...

It could be, I love surprises too. It just seems strange that they would book somebody and say I know let's just keep it a secret for the fun of it, you'd think they'd be dying to let it out.

Liam Gallagher has gone to a TBC in recent days

There is an outside chance it's someone who hasn't played in a long time. I think this is where some of the crazier ideas come from. There would probably be rumours of warm up gigs by now though

Or someone like Billy Joel who isn't in the country round that time but is touring and has space in the diary to come over and do the legend slot. 

Then you have people written off because they want too much money but are touring such as Fleetwood Mac. 

It's a long list of possibilities but it probably Gaga

I've changed my mind, I don't to narrow it down.

Joking aside, the only way I could see this being it, is if it ends up being an Oasis reunion.. Noel is on record saying he will be at Glastonbury.

I was wondering if it could be an Oasis reunion the other day.  I have absolutely nothing to base it on though, just a random thought that popped into my head.  However that still gives it just as much clout as any thing else that has been suggested.

But it was because they were Reading and Leeds exclusives.

[jparx]

Why would Oasis reunite to not headline Glastonbury?

Maybe part of the secret is the Ed Sheeran isn't actually headlining at all

I raised the same thing but apparntley they were only booked last minute.

[mufcok]

There's so many reasons why it wont be Oasis, not worth discussing as a possibility

Do we know if there someone previously in their slot that dropped out for any reason? Could they be back?

[henry bear]

Liam's solo album's about to drop and he's got gigs lined up. Can't see Oasis being resurrected unless his solo stuff nosedives. So next year probably.

It was D'Angelo. Don't think he's still touring.

[nowyouregideon]

What do we think the chances of Glastonbury doing a R&L and having a co-headliner? Say Ed Sheehan has the same length of time on the stage with the same production just he doesn't play last. Only say Ed Sheehan because compared to Radiohead and Foo Fighters he seems like having a set in the daylight would work out better.

 

EDIT: Not that I think this the case, just are Glastonbury the kind of festival that would book co-headliners. It would go with the whole "two years of music" quote from earlier in the year.
