Bastille's stock has fallen considerably, wouldn't rule them out for third down the Other.

Oh fair enough, can't say I've been following them too closely. However, I just checked and they subbed the Other in 2016 and they currently have 29m monthly Spotify listeners. Surely they're still pretty huge based on that number (yes I know there are many other things to consider) and won't play one spot down on the same stage?

Any ideas why they left Childish Gambino off the first poster despite him subbing the pyramid? (I'm not giving this up till June 30th)

Is his tour sold out, maybe wants to wait for that? Surely more likely that he's (sadly) not playing though

I'd be shocked if that slot is filled by anyone other than George Ezra at this stage.

Corrine Bailey Rae’s bump to legend spot well deserved there. 

My thoughts are that The Cure will get 2.5 hours or so, hence the 3rd down spot will be the 'teatime' slot instead this year.

EG: The Cure 20:45-23:15, Janet Jackson 19:30-20:45, Kylie 17:30-18:45, Corrine Bailey Rae 15:45-16:45

Kylie will be 4th down.

Don’t see them tinkering too much to accommodate the Cure and Corrine last played third from top in the Avalon 3 years ago. Don’t see her anywhere near a pyramid prime pop spot in 2019.

No way the Cure are going over two hours.

How come? Didn't Radiohead and FF do over two hours last time? Are you thinking they'll want to keep it shorter for a tighter set, or Glastonbury won't allow it?

I just don’t see the festival allowing them a long set. 

[Gilgamesh69]

Well, I had a dream last night that The Spice Girls opened the Pyramid stage ?

[Yokel Again]

Isn't the Sunday headline set a little shorter? (Or finishes abit earlier anyway?)

[OddRon]

post-poster prediction time - not exactly my ideal dream(apart from friday on the other stage), just what I think is kinda realistic

Friday:

Pyramid- Stormzy, George Ezra, Bastille

Other- Tame Impala, Two Door Cinema Club, Interpol

West Holts- Ms Lauryn Hill, Jorja Smith, Kate Tempest

John Peel- Orbital(rumoured to), The Streets, Pale Waves

Park- The Good, the Bad and the Queen, Mac Demarco(tour dates in uk that week, only day available), Idles

Saturday:

Pyramid- The Killers, LG, Miley

Other-  Foals(dunno who else but seems wrong to clash with killers), Courteeners(again seems wrong to clash with LG but who knows, also can't see them getting bumped up), Hozier

West Holts- Wu Tang Clan, Jungle, Stefflon Don

Park- Hot Chip, Kurt Vile, Sons of Kemet

John Peel-  Years and years, Jon Hopkins, Sigrid

Sunday: 

Pyramid-  The Cure, Vampire Weekend, Janet Jackson

Other - Chems, Christine and the queens, Billie Eilish

West Holts - Janelle Monae, Mavis Staples, Kamasi Washington

Park- Sharon Van Etten, Rex Orange County, Fat White Family

John Peel - Diplo, Johnny Marr, Loyle Carner

Pretty sure Ezra will sub, but the fact Ed Sheeran played 3rd down in 2014 after the same amount of albums Ezra has does make me wonder whether there might be a sub yet to announce.

The same sub from that night (The Black Keys) would be welcome but you’re right that Ezra will sub, sadly. Weaker acts available and Ezra is already headlining other mid-size and even large festivals. He’s what we’re getting.

I’d be amazed if he isn’t subbing.

Stormzy is headlining with 1 album I believe!

Sheeran wasn’t headlining other festivals.

Is there anything to the Orbital rumour or just wishful thinking? Would be a game changer for my Friday. I can’t remember a dance headliner on JP any tine recently?

I’m pinning my hopes for Friday night on that or West Holts pulling out a disco or dance headliner. I’d watch Lauren Hill earlier on the pyramid but not sure I’d risk a headliner on her.

Annie Mac did it a couple of years ago iirc?

And yeah someone had info Orbital were headlining the JP one day (though we dont know which day)

Ooh I hadn't heard that. Does that make Jon Hopkins less likely as a John Peel headliner then? Two dance headliners in one fest... massively clutching but I want some say to see Hopkins and Hot Chip. And Orbital!

[Stubbsy55]

Chemical brothers likely to be on the Sunday
