I've given the source before so I can say it again.  

It was Nick Dewey (to Scott), making clear that Macca won't be playing next year despite what Michael had said.

(I've got no experience of Nick's word being proven true or false, but i do have experience of Emily telling me to ignore what Michael has said - so i reckon Nick was coming from the same place and wasn't telling porkies).

Fair enough!

Lord, a new Elbow album doesn’t put them in contention... does it?

To headline? Not a chance.

Not even sure they’re sub material anymore. Third down the Pyramid seems more likely.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I think there was some confusion with the info about PP, but KOL will not in one Bazzillion years be headlining the 50th.

Just thinking of some left wing potentials to shake it up

Drake. New album next year

I fully think they would take a sub, I'd watch them sub but not headline as they would probably screw that up.

Different years, bands weren't desperate to play the 49th version.

Why are you so certain that bands are desperate to play the 50th?

At this point I'm going to go with:

Foals
Madonna
The Carters

Elton for Ledge

[FuzzyDunlop]

Taylor Swift

Reg Dwight

Coldplay

- D. Ross - Legend.

Swift is due I think. Elton gets the gig, I'll be shocked if he doesn't. When in doubt, it's always Coldplay. Plus Coldplay are a massive headliner (unfortunately) who will play for less then the market rate.

I didn't say KOL were so desperate....but they aren't going to get a headline slot at the 50th anniversary. Emily...the one who generally is more truthful made it known a while back now that 'everyone, obviously not literally but there was a point made wanted to play the 50th and there had been Pyramid struggles.

Ooooh hadn't considered that as a possibility, I could get on board with that!

[FloorFiller]

The Carters would be a nice callback to two of Glastonbury’ s big defining headliner moments, and obviously a big deal in itself, but I don’t see it - do they have any plans to tour again any time soon?

I’m sure there’ll be little callbacks to past Glastonbury lineups/moments scattered throughout the lineup but headliner wise I’m sure it’ll just be business as usual.

Their last tour was a Jay Z & Beyoncé tour so there’s no chance they’ll be doing that again next summer. I would estimate that Beyoncé will be touring a new album next summer but no one else seems on board with a prediction for her headlining.

[djdavejohnson]

I guess also getting a megastar to headline cut price is often difficult enough once, to get two to do it again in the same slot is probably beyond the realms of what's possible.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Swizzle is the smart bet, for previously discussed reasons.

[Hugh Jass]

Live scenes from the Eavis camp as they try to find the balance between nostalgia and progression...

Yeah as big a deal as the two of them headlining Glastonbury was for us and the festival, I’m sure it’s just a blip in both of their careers that has long since been overshadowed - another reason why I don’t see Beyoncé returning next year, and also just still seems too soon for me considering they’ve barely scraped the surface of big female headliners they could get.

I would get on board with either really. Annoying with the timing of their joint tour last year as that would be a great headliner show for a 50th. May keep a note for future headliner though..

Only if she promises to forget the last three years of her career.

Yep, agreed. One for the future. Bring on the Swizzle!

You didn’t see Taylor Swift because she wasn’t there!

More likely she promises to forget the first 12 years of it and play nothing except songs from Lovers or whatever it’s called.
