Aphex seems a really unlikely candidate for that slot though, Robyn surely is probably the most likely surely assuming Orbital are on the JP. Maybe Silk City too? (Though I currently have them subbing the Other)

I guess, but considering how much less rap there will be at the fest (compared to the dancier stuff which you can find elsewhere too) I'd have though you'd wanna split the hip-hop up more. I have no idea if this is actually something they would consider tbh though, really I just can't get my prediction to fit together anymore when I swap Chems and Streets

That still seems like a stupidly high booking to me, especially given the other options available (Vampire Weekend, Janet Jackson, The Strokes etc.) but I guess it could happen.

Someone very early on said The Streets were offered Pyramid Sub or Other Header.

I know, I just reckon Pyramid Sub would be stupidly high for them, it could happen, but I don't see it

That would be tremendous. 

My friday headliner is normally my "main" headliner. That would do it.

Im expecting an older act though. Soneone like kool & the gang. (For example)

There are literally so many good names being touted around, I really hope they’re all slotted in. It’ll be one hell of a line up.

Actually cant believe you might not be going @dentalplan . That seems crazy talk.

I think they’d be wasted in a pyramid sub slot.  Just hope they don’t clash with The Killers.

Although their music is quite different I feel like having both Robyn and Janelle headline WH in one year may be a bit one note. Expecting an electronic headliner now that we have the other two (hip-hop and pop) nailed down, but who knows? Guess it all depends on who's around. Orbital could still be the Sunday if we're assuming Chems are the Saturday.

I assumed a classic disco-y headliner...

EWF, The Jacksons, Parliament funkadelic type of act.

Not even sure I’m doing the resale at the moment - still up in the air. Cheers for the kind offer though.

I assumed you got a VIP pass with a rep like that.

Ahh man I was so on board the Hot Chip for Friday WH train. It's the missus first Glastonbury and she's definitely gonna want to watch The Killers. Nightmare as I missed their 2015 set for Super Furries.

I reckon they might be on at the same time as Chems though. Would split the crowd a bit more, I still think they're too big for The Park stage as it is currently. Also given the lack of hip hop booked at the festival, I can't see them clashing Wu and The Streets. Granted they're not that similar but it seems odd to have 2/3 biggest stages headlined by Hip Hop when it's usually only featured on 1, if none of those 3 stages at any one time.

[Mattymooz 261]

Also I would imagine Killers & Streets and Cure & Chems have a reasonable crossover anyway just from being similar eras

PY: Stormzy - The Killers - The Cure
OS: Tame Impala - Chemical Brothers - The Streets
WH: Jon Hopkins - Wu-Tang Clan - Janelle Monae
JP: Interpol - Chvrches - Orbital
PA: FKA twigs - Hot Chip - Doves

Something like that headliner wise, imo.

Whilat probably not far off, there is nowt for me to be really hyped for there. Seen Chems, Wu Tang & Orbital before.

I'd probably be 

Friday: Hopkins / Glade / A random Stage / SE Corner,

Sat: Chems

Sunday: Janelle or Orbital

Yeah I must admit I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of my own prediction either, but I've kind of come to terms with the fact that I'm not gonna be blown away with the headliners this year, or at least I'm not expecting to be. Fingers crossed for at least one totally out of the blue addition though.

Jon Hopkins surely won't be headlining WHs. That is one boring Friday, Saturday is easy and so is Sunday.

They don’t seem to have any shows anywhere. They’ve probably quietly shelved the rest of that record.

There’s loads of hip hop. Last year they had Nadia Rose, Run the Jewels, Loyle Carner and BBNG clashing.

Not all Wu Tang fans are gonna be Streets fans and certainly vice versa. Keeping them apart makes zero sense.

I’m also expecting the remaining West Holts headliner to be an electronic act but could The Roots be an option? They’re in Europe the two weekends after Glastonbury so they’re possibly around.

This would be hilarious just because my mate that absolutely loves them has decided not to come for the first time in years 😂

[srb 51]

No Mr Meth here, but a Young DB. Will clearly be a heavier performance on WH - hope all or at least vast majority turn up and on point as they are topping the show

I couldn’t really see the three WH headliners being The Roots, Janelle Monae and Wu Tang Clan. An electronic act or an older disco act I’d imagine. Maybe a blues act even.

Ronson and Diplo are both playing in the UK in June (Parklife and Field Day iirc) and I can't see that project being shelved after the success of Electricty (although I think Ronson is working on a solo record atm so I could be wrong).

Exactly. They’re not touring as Silk City, both working on their own stuff.
