Yeah June 2020 he's in North America. Postponed his current tour because of pneumonia.

No Friday afternoon Rock is very disappointing, especially considering how 'pop' the line-up looks on the main stages so far this year

Well colour me disappointed ?

Yeh, this is really disappointing. I was hoping they'd just left it off the poster, along with a few big names, but that's seeming unlikely now.... Aaah well, I hope Shangri la and the earache express throw us some gems!

Real shame if this isn’t happening this year, and also strange considering Emily has talked about it quite recently. Wonder if they had somebody lined up but it fell through, or just never managed to find a suitable act for it.

What if it Prodigy weren't a other headliner and were the rock slot, then decided just to leave it this year after Keiths passing... Unlikely because of the Teeners information but could be...

I'm starting to think that a lot of their best laid plans go to waste these days. They're better off keeping schtum and we're better off waiting to see what occurs once we get there. It's not like anything they tease us with is the deciding factor of whether or not we buy a ticket, is it? Especially if October and today's events are anything to go by

Apparently at European festivals over Glasto so that unlikely suggestion isn't the one.

Speaking to George Ezra on his podcast, she appeared to confirm the festival now has an official "metal slot" on the Pyramid Stage on the Friday (June 28) of the festival.She said: "We have a metal slot on a Friday.

"Which is on the Friday at about 5pm, and that's a new thing that has just started.

"That is now a really big slot.

"I quite like this, I'm quite into the expansion of the line-up beyond those three headline slots."

[JoeyT]

Perhaps they had someone lined up who pulled out in between times and they have't been able to re-fill it?

[Padjeq]

What if it was the Prodigy?

[Guest]

I actually think that @RarerThanDandyB could be right about The Prodigy originally being booked for it. Was there anything other than the Prodigy/Courteeners info suggesting that they were meant to be headlining the Other? Perhaps they were meant to be this year's Friday rock act.

[The Martini Police]

No chance she was describing the Prodigy as 'metal', surely. Not to mention it'd be a very strange time to put them. 

[Hugh Jass]

Yeah I doubt the Prodigy were the act.

That podcast came out after Keith died and Emily had already said they were booked. I doubt she’d be talking up the slot if they were still trying to fill it.

Sounds like someone’s pulled out to me.

[morgi]

Unless after keith died, Prodigy said they wouldn't be playing, which left a spot open to headline other stage and the act booked to play the 'Rock Slot' got moved to there? All just speculation tbf, anything could have happened.

[The Nal]

Theres no way the Prodigy were signed up to play 5pm in the day.

yep. seems that things have changed.

Nick Dewey told Scott on Saturday that there's no rock slot this year.
