what are these fatboy R1 headline shouts? sure he's doing the other stage but like glastonbury is a bit strange with him - he headlined dance in 2017 and has done nothing to get bumped up to R1 headline since then

I was thinking of being like a closing set, similar to the Knife Party one in 2015.

It's after the R1 headliners, at the same time as main stage headliners.

For what it's worth, I think Fatboy could headline R1 easy. It'd be a weird one because, as you say, he hasn't done much in a long while but maybe it's the sort of booking that they could make fairly cheaply and benefit from the exposure of a big Glastonbury set to make returns on it.

I mean he’s bound to draw a crowd whoever he’s up against as well

Rumours that QOTSA have entered the studio again due to a Jon Theodore Instagram story, it's all very loose at the moment though.

It could be something to do with Bright Eyes actually.

If it is QOTSA surely they’d have to be considered properly

I think that Reading will announce the majority of the main stage and the radio 1 headliners. This Friday, or on Monday or Tuesday. After the announcement coming out so late for 2020 edition.

Thoughts?

I think it would make sense to announce Friday as it's when the festival would have been and also BBC will be hyping all the sets on there.

    • Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!
    • I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift
    • Christ didn't even see that! 
    • It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
