Feel like we were pretty certain on the headliners and legend this time last year (albeit Macca pulled out/whatever and The Killers came in). Seems to be a much more closely kept secret this year.

We've spent pages and pages waffling about Foals and The 1975, but neither act has a real solid headline rumour against them. We only have some actual rumours for Fleetwood Macca AFAIK, with Foals (imo) more likely for a sub/Other slot?

Could the lack of solid rumours play in to Neil's old theory that info on American acts doesn't usually leak as much? Perhaps we've got some (non FM) American headliners? 

There's been the new poster claiming that Kendrick has been booked too.

I'd want to hear something from another source before I class that as a proper rumour, but yeah good point. I do tend to think they've got a big ace up their sleeve, and hopefully in the form of Taylor, Kendrick, Gaga, Beyonce etc.

The usual ‘friend of an uncle who knows a guy’ kind of thing. They occasionally prove to be true (that’s where The Cure first came from this/last year) but more often than not it’s bollocks. Here’s hoping the former ey.

A strong Kendrick rumour over the next couple of weeks might help discourage some of the Neil Lonsdale types.

Not from starting a petition, though.

If they could do it before the sale that would be just lovely.

What’s the most Lonsdale/Gammon infuriating trio we could think of?

1975/Taylor Swift/Kendrick

Let’s that rumour going.

[Hugh Jass]

Actually we need to get CATQ up in there, not only does she not play guitars but she’s a woman. And she’s gay. And she’s French!

Lonsdale’s head would explode.

[Matt42]

Nah the 1975, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift would be banging headliners. I’d be at the pyramid every night.

No I completely get the point but I just didn’t want those three headliners to be thrown around as a shit trio because I’d be all over that.

He wasn't saying it was a shit trio - he was saying it would repel/enrage Neil Lonsdale types.

I wonder how many Lonsdale types actually attend the festival? 

I always thought it was those who never go.

It’s equal to however many replies any given radio x tweet gets

Swift wouldn't make up a shit trio. The other two would though.

Would still embarrass the likes of 1975 and swift even with a semi

I’d prefer the 1975, Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift over Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Macca

I'd prefer Parov Stelar, Immortal Technique and The Front Bottoms; doesn't mean they'd make a better set of headliners.
