They definitely aren’t.

why the definite?

[a6l6e6x]

Quite a lot could drag me away from Kendrick although the rest of my group seem quite keen on him

Only night I will definitely be at pyramid is Sunday but would like to watch the other 2 if there's nothing else spectacular on

Not sure where the info came from but it seems to be a known thing that they’re only playing the US this year to go along with the election. Whether they’ll continue beyond that, who knows, but they’re definitely not gonna be playing a non-headliner slot at Glastonbury.

It's been known for a while, but Kendrick / McCartney/ Swift is a very solid set of headliners. Something for most people.

Given he was happy to pop up at Paak's free gig in Brixton the other year, I'd say it's possible. Extremely unlikely still but possible, he does as he pleases, so if he thought it'd be fun he'd do it. Chances are he won't bother.

This was my thought too. Someone mentioned something about Snoop showing up at the farm again this year on here recently, I'm sure the good doctor would be down for a guest slot with Kendrick and teeing it up with another guest slot doing the Next Episode.

You’ve got the hottest rapper out there right now in terms of acclaim and prestige. One of, if not the, biggest pop stars on the planet and a motherfucking Beatle!

Yeah but it's not Oasis is it?

[1986]

It's true, the drear factor is very unrepresented. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Many people are saying it's even better than Oasis. Very strong and so nice.

If Dre comes out with Kenny and they do Next Episode and The Recipe, they win Glastonbury. Like, all the Glastonbury's.

[Gnomicide]

If they go by the same BST ticket sale to Glastonbury announcement timescale, Kendrick will be announced on 2nd Feb.

Yeah I heard that as well, my only thoughts being they could headline Other as Emily mentioned pyramid sized headliners for it - and I have one industry mate who said that they were told they're booked, which I questioned him on again yesterday and he's pretty convinced its true as its from a good source

 

plus they're literally my favourite band so im holding out hope

Here's a question for those of you like me who want to see all three headliners but who don't necessarily wanna spend three nights at the Pyramid

Who would you drop on to the subs bench? It's impossible!

Kendrick: The pinnacle of hip hop

Macca: Does it get bigger than Macca?

Taylor: Banger after banger after banger

I'm a late convert to Taylor, but my feeling is she'll be the set of the weekend

I'd ask why you need to choose tbh.  If there's 3 acts that you want to see, what's to stop you seeing them?  if there's a clash with another stage then fair enough, but if it's just a case of principle that you don't want to be at the Pyramid 3 nights then you'd be cutting off your nose to spite your face, no?

Seeing out the night at the Pyramid is the tops. Much better than fucking off down to a deserted SE corner just to avoid a queue.

I just thought they’d do something special for the 50th anniversary you know?

Whoosh.

I always like to see a headliner at West Holts / Park / John Peel as the stages have really different atmospheres.

I wouldn't want to spend all three nights at the Pyramid regardless of who was playing.

Swifty doesn't float my boat, but if nothing else appeals on Sunday night I'll probably wander down for a look.

I don't think there is a better place on the planet to watch a headline act than the Pyramid.

When there's nothing on I fancy it's where I tend to gravitate to.

Yep, Sophie's choice right there.

We're in strictly hypothetical territory and I'll definitely be at all three, but with a gun to my head I'd drop Kendrick. I'm certain he'll smash it, but of the three he has the biggest chance of putting on a "meh" performance.

Can't possibly see how Taylor and Macca don't completely smash it. Even if Macca's voice completely packs in by the festival, the crowd will carry it.
