She was announced for Lolla Stockholm earlier too so definitely in Europe that weekend

I'd say this makes her very likely. A rather packed JP set is my guess.

I have her mid Other on the Sunday currently, but JP would work too

[TKOCF]

Can we just have Foals headlining the Other on Friday please? Thank You.

Texas playing in Bath on June 22nd, must be high chances of returning.

Now that’s an opener for the other stage

Very much so but also likely for Acoustic as before.

Seems everyone announcing a tour seems to leave a gap at the end of June/beginning of July ?

I’d never heard of her until I saw she started taking huge slots on lineups. I checked her out and she’s a bit too poppy / edgy4mi but I imagine she’l play.

shes had a pretty strong debut for such a young new artist. I don’t know if she’s really broke out over here though has she?

It looks like her latest single will enter the UK top 10 and her academy tour has sold out. After G exposure she'll be huge over here.

Oh fair enough. Yeah I saw on YouTube she was getting millions of views I just didn’t know if it was from an international audience and not so much here.

Get them on the same day as Wu-Tang just to recreate this glorious madness....

She’s the new Lorde.

Yeah she’s not really my bag, missus is a fan though and seems to think she might pop up so who knows, will give her a proper listen if she’s on the poster

Yeah I hadn't heard of her till she was in the initial Reading and Leeds announcement, she's got a few decent tunes though. As Dental pointed out she seems to be on a similar path to Lorde.

The Other Stage is made for acts like Catfish and there’s a reason why bands like them and Courteeners etc are there every time they’re booked. No use clogging up the top end of the Pyramid with that guff when there’s essentially a whole other main stage dedicated to it a short walk away. Other sub for Catfish if they’re there.

They're a big indie act no doubt but are still probably one or two genuine big crossover hits away from making the step up (say what you want about Kasabian everyone knows that Fire song), that or a critically acclaimed album. I think The 1975 have stolen the march on them in this regard.

Hmm sorta. Lorde had a very strong international break out hit. It seems that Billie has broken out in America over the past year or so and is now trying to crack europe.

3rd down pyramid or sub as she’s being marketed as an established headliner x

[CaledonianGonzo]

D-plan still not over that day he cashed in his Lorde Stocks and invested his life savings in Foals Futures. 

[FakeEmpire]

Billie Eilish could have done much bigger venues on her UK tour than she's doing.  It was a nightmare getting tickets for it.  They were all gone in seconds.  I just kept refreshing as extra dates were added.

She's had huge success already - even in the UK, her EP has just gone gold which is more than most debut albums have done recently.   

2019 is going to be a big year for her.

Would be broke either way.

oh gawd, the horror.

But if she's doing Glastonbury, she IS headlining.

Urgh God. I *really* don't like Mariah Carey

Too big for the legends slot? Diana Ross's name has been linked to that slot previously and they have similar UK chart success?

Mariah, Janet and Kylie it's what those Rewind Retrofests would be if they had mega-budgets.
