Not to be a downer, but isn't it possible they're just extending the pyramid field to accommodate the 7000 more punters with tickets in 2020?

Don’t come round here with your silly reasonable opinions you fun sponge

... Kate Bush has never played Glastonbury

fair point yes ... thats realistic  and not being a downer    haven't seen the field at that kind of capacity for a headliner since the stones .....  and with the Emily statement of headline pyramid acts on the other should split the crowds up

Not witty enough to follow that on, my head is saying ‘something to do with balls’ so I think we’re dry

Anyone given much thought to why glasto seems to have a relatively high rate of headliners pulling out even if before they’re announced? 

it's not really "pulling out", it's acts they're trying to land and think they're going to land who they don't then land.

Glastonbury is probably never first choice for agents, as they get a cut of live fees but not record sales.

I doubt there is a much higher rate, it's just Reading etc don't attract nearly as much attention/obsession so there's less awareness of what's going on.

No.

He's never played Glastonbury before right? ?

Kendrick/Pink Floyd/Taylor is the stuff of dreams. 

 

But I think still negotiating has to be someone dropped out. Be it Macca, Elton etc

Ah, maybe that was it. Guess it's not impossible, but incredibly unlikely.

Roger would need to be the 'in negotiation' act as he subbed Rod Stewart on Sunday in 2002.

Gilmour solo however.....never played before.  He'll need some new guitars though....

I would think if it were them (its not) the negotiations would be about them getting back together

Always thought Lorde with a new album could get the nod from Emily E.

Obviously not in a year when Taylor’s booked.....

just found this on the Macca forum, don’t know how reliable it is but there seems to be a Facebook event for it aswell! Seems to align that Macca will be touring Europe in the end of May

Interesting. If that's legit and he's playing gigs next May, that surely brings him back in to the frame?

Yup she said they’ve been chasing this act since the summer and her kids are frequently asking whether they’ve signed them up yet.

Missed this clue. Aren't Emily's kids still quite young? That suggests it could be Taylor Swift to me, unless Basil Brush is being lined up for a big push next year.

Emily recent said her kids love Stormzy so it could be anyone tbh.
