1975, Macca/FM/Elton, Tay would be arguably the most impressive top line the festival has ever booked.

Very arguably ?

Fleetwood Mac wanted too much money
McCartney couldn't be talked into it.

However we heard your cheers this summer and we got you....

Chris Martin featuring Coldplay.

Better be them just performing Parachutes in full.

Nah I reckon The 1975 have got to be the next most likely candidates after Taylor Swift, it's really rare for them to have 2 oldies in the same year. As with every year they can only book the band's they can get, and if that happens to be Taylor, Loose Women Jr, and somebody else then that who they'll get.

Loose women jr has properly tickled me 

[lighthouse]

Arctic Monkeys - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Taylor Swift

Here you go. Dream set of Glasto 50 headliners over there.

And not thaaaaaat unrealistic.

Okay, so here's a question. You're allowed three headliners:

-one has to have headlined the festival before

-one has to have played the festival, but not headlined the Pyramid before

-one has to have never played the festival before

 

Who do you pick?

Foo Fighters

Courteeners ( Don’t Judge )

AC/DC

I would love that to be true but Nick more than likely will sub and theres nothing to suggest the Monkeys will be back.

Now we’re talking! (Elton would be the preference of those 3 options).

I guess they could potentially get 2 of the 3 by putting one in the legends slot?

There is literally zero chance of any of macca/FM/Elton accepting the legends slot. They are all headline or bust.

just look at the recent legend slot occupants and theyre not even in the same league. 

I know we all get giddy with the possibilities this time of year but i strongly suspect that next years lineup will be no more or less strong than any other year.

However I reckon there will be a few more surprises with secret sets and one big headliner (FM, Elton or Macca) the rest the same yeah.

I think they will pull a couple of big acts out the bag for the occasion, doesn't get much bigger than Elton!

Also just pre-ordered the glasto book, looks like a good read

Foals - played but never headlined

Radiohead - has headlined

Elton John - never played never headlined

[priest17]

Foals, Elton John, Taylor Swift this year

1975, Kendrick, Nick Cave next year 

Damage limitation the year after.

I’m hoping the 50th celebrations will come in the strength of the undercard rather than just the three at the top.

If George Ezra releases an album either in 2020 or first half of 2021 he’s headlining 21.

Held up elsewhere.

That would actually be the best thing that could come out of it! Headliners get all the press coverage but strength in depth makes a classic year over an average one

He's ya damage limitation in 2022. Him, an old fucker people still try and care about, and I dunno someone people like for the third one. Should I start a thread?

Would take this! I don't like to be restricted to only watching pyramid headliners so foals would be a good excuse to go elsewhere (really do not understand the hype with them)

The following year I'd watch all of them but wouldn't mind skipping kendrick for something else

[kevbizarre]

I’ll eat my bobble hat if Foals headline. Don’t mind them as a band but they ain’t the one. 

[Mash011]

I hope we can finally put the Foals thing to rest when their new album flops in a couple weeks.

I reckon they will try for Elton to be the legend, fourth headliner, headliner in the sun to massage his ego.

Given he like to play in league two grounds, a 100,000 strong crowd must have some appeal?

I would have said "no chance" he wants to headline, but a 2 hour legend slot would not surprise. Especially when Kylie had the biggest Glastonbury TV viewing figures ever.
