I think this is an important point. Should be said in constant refrain throughout this upcoming year.

2020 will be like any other year just like 2010 was. There may be a sprinkling of some special stuff but legendary bands are not going to come out of retirement solely for the festival.

Best we can bet is a decent reunion.

Green Days front man was here yesterday with one band... maybe he'll be back headlining next year... would be a great band to headline 

[Baggins7]

Foals

Pulp

Blondie

Legend - Elton

Maybe not diverse enough but would love that, and no doubt miss out on tickets again

[dentalplan]

Guns N Roses are being tipped to do festivals next year.

I know they had already been mentioned but what I mean is there are rumours today about them doing South American festivals so you’d think they’d do them over here too if they’re starting the touring machine up again.

After yesterday just book The Comet is Coming to headline and be done with it

Chris Martin appearing in someone else’s headline set seems more likely to me than a Coldplay performance. 

Care to predict next weeks lottery numbers....

[VCK]

Foals, Kendrick and Madonna.

Tbf this was for 2020 and after Friday I now think he’s gonna show up in all three headline slots.

They'd never do Glastonbury in a million years sadly, but hopefully Melvin will be on the blower to them, providing Axl didn't piss him off too much last time.

Foals, Mac, McCartney (Female Legend Act) for good balance

I don’t think Elton or Paul McCartney will be doing the legend slot. Should lower those expectations significantly. Cher was apparently approached about playing this year but turned it down cos of the money (tabloid rumours like) but maybe they might have a chance next time out if her people see the calibre of acts playing for cut-price.

Guess was trying to fit in all the rumours I'd read in different places, but you're right, it's quite optimistic. Elton would be amazing, esp after I can't afford/justify his tour ticker prices. 

I wondered if perhaps they were trying to save a bit of money this year *puts on tinhat* and only book a couple of stars this year, ready for 2020 and the anniversary. Quite a lot of people recognise the lineup is good, but not amazing, and the extra money might be in place for more stellar acts to come

 

 

[Chinaski_]

Madonna

The 1975

Paul McCartney

Hope not though 

[Matt42]

The 1975, Blur, Taylor Swift is still the trio I’m thinking 

[sisco]

Foals or The 1975

Madonna

Fleetwood Mac

[kingcrawler]

Foals

Fleetwood Mac

Elton John

[Guest]

Sticking with Blur, Lady Gaga and Fleetwood Mac

[TheNewUnion]

I could absolutely see something like that happening. Foals/1975 balancing out the heritage acts later in the weekend, big set from Madge for Saturday night TV audience, and then the Mac bringing huge tunes to round off the 50th anniversary.

[Matt42]

1975 are way more likely to get the slot than foals 

[Chinaski_]

I can't see Foals headlining Glastonbury. Are they really that big?

They can’t really put him on headlining next year,  but last time he kept saying “next year” he was right. Maybe a secret set? Up against Noel.

Haha could be! Or maybe they'll finally put their differences aside for a bit... agreed, he definitely wouldn't be headlining on his own!

The 1975 do not deserve to headline Glastonbury either yet. It's bad enough they are headlining Reading.

They really are big enough mate. I think you’re underestimating their pull to the younger Glastonbury crowds.

If stormzy absolutely packed the pyramid field off one album the 1975 will likely do the same
