She’s playing an Amazon Prime Day concert tomorrow. I’m going to watch it to see if she says anything about Glastonbury.

“Hahahaha, remember that time Glastonbury were desperate for a headliner and ended up having to book The Who because I refused to play despite being in London with nothing to do that day, lol suckerz”

KoL would make sense as they're around at about the right time.

Are you saying KOL make sense for PP or for next years festival?

KoL at PP would be quite an impressive booking!

Going with 1975 after they deliver a great headline set at Reading (even though I only like a few songs)

Tay Sway (who would be awesome and get loads of TV exposure)

Elton John

 

Legend Di Ro

[Chef]

Elton John is pretty much nailed on right? Just unsure whether headliner or legend.

I could go for that lot. 1975 and TS not really my cuppa but both new headliners.

Elton & Diana would be shamazing

If he's playing he's headlining IMO.

Absolutely. That's got Sunday closer written all over it for me.  Whole field singalong to Rocket Man? Where do I sign up?

He needs to end on Yellow Brick Road, mainly because that was the last song that played at my wedding.

https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/extras - here, first weekend in October ?

Joking aside, absolutely agree. Glasto 'moment' right there.

Hell to the yes. Fave Reg banger that. What a tune

[a6l6e6x]

He would definitely end on goodbye yellow brick road, has been for the whole tour

The 'la's' in crocodile rock would be a fantastic glasto sing along but I don't think it's included in his current setlist

Scenes when Big Reg brings out Blue for a rousing rendition of “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word”. 

[BlackZeppelin]

BBBBB Benny and the Jets

[Hugh Jass]

Reg makes a lot of sense for next year, but then the Eavii have also been making plenty of noises around FM. Dunno why but I can't see them getting back in next year as headliners, it doesn't quite sit right with me.

I still think The 1975 are nailed on for Friday and they'll go for a big female pop star for Saturday (Tay Tay) which leaves those two to battle it out for Sunday.

I'm sticking with Reg.

I was fully on the Reg train, but the comments made by FM at their Wembley gig has changed that a little. 

I think it’s one or the other, really can’t see it being both. 

Not sure why but I reckon Gaga is more likely than T-Swizzle and Foals could be there instead of 1975.

So...

Fri - Foals or 1975

Sat - Gaga or Tay Tay

Sun - Reg or FM

Who knows. Probs just end up with Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Muse again. 

[Mattymooz]

Reckon all the chat about FM is to line them up for 2021 as didnt EE say they had arranged most of next year already?

2020: Gaga // Arctics // Elton

2021: The 1975 // K-Dot // The Mac

[Matt42]

This time every year we get a comment like “all three headliners sorted” and we take it as fact but then it turns out to not be the case?

just a question ... why do we fall for this every year?

And then Beyoncé and Childish Gambino for Can You Feel The Love Tonight, just to leave the entire crowd in hospital.

It's gonna be 

FM 

Blur / Oasis reunion/ Stone Roses/Pulp (I'm feeling a britpop headliner)

Drake / The Weekend 

 

Kate bush as the legend

The thing I don't get about Fleetwood Mac is why they wouldn't have done it this year if they were willing to play Glastonbury?

They were just finished a leg of the world tour in Wembley itself a week before Glastonbury, it was the perfect time.

Surely after Macca became a non-runner, they would have gone to them. If there's enough money to book moneybags Macca, there'd be enough money to book moneybags Mac? Obviously this depends on how much of a paycut both were willing to take, which given Michael's repeated "we can't afford them", makes it sound like they've tried recently and FM won't take the paycut.

FM have no gigs announced after October, so absolutely no indication that they'll be touring next year.

for those reasons I think the Eavii are just giving the usual "oh we'd love to have them" platitudes in the hope that they'll some day get them, but I can't see 2020 being a runner at present.....

Macca knows Glasto though as probably wouldn't be asking a bomb.

I'm slightly leaning on Elton is a headline slot, he does seem to have sold a lot of tickets for his tour...7 02 dates I think but Dolly sold a lot too....he is ultimately a bigger name with a great catalogue you'd have to say.

Based on that Arctics/Blur, FM, Elton possibly. I don't think they are are going to give any newly headline like The 1975 it on a year where they simply won't need to and they'll most likely take a lower slot to be apart of it.

those wembley shows would have been on an exclusive basis, and FM would have been getting top wack for them. Taking Glasto would have been shafting the wembley promoter.

And it's quite possibly the case they'd turned down Glasto before Macca (or whoever) dropped out.
